Didn't some journo say the pitch to Delap was that he wouldn't be back up, that he'd get plenty of minutes with Isak ?

Pulling the piss is the foundation what manhood is built on, if one of my mates turned out on a Friday night with that on he'd get fucking slaughtered.

"No dickheads policy"

Too much that, and I’ve got a good few Chenaski’s in me wardrobe https://www.chenaski.de/categories/3?locale=en

I know Tone Loc's "Wild Thang" started playing in Tripp's head when he saw that fit on the rack.

I'm getting the vibe you don't know your monk-straps from your lug soles.

Madueke just played for Chelsea today in Atlanta….

The worst thing about this tournament — and there are many things wrong with it — are all the neighbors and acquaintances being completely shocked that I’m not taking my kids. Like not going to see Haaland or Mbappe in this tournament is akin to child abuse. I’m gonna pass on lining Infantino’s and Chelsea’s pockets, thanks.

Definitely think we must want JP for his link-up play and awareness etc more than anything else. To get more from our other attacking players. He does a lot of great work around the halfway line with little touches, hold up play and keeping possession moving. Don't see him playing RW at all though, that would be nothing like what he's good at. So must be a formation change in some games or rotation with Isak.

Apt, since the rest of him looks like a cunt.

I was today years old when I learned Leeds are called The Peacocks

Just watched the highlights of them annihilating Serbia. Frightening speed to the play and some absolutely brilliant performances from Madueke, Philogene and Elliot. Would have any of them here in a heartbeat, Madueke just needs slightly better decision making and he could play anywhere IMO, top player.

If they hadn't just signed Wirtz for £100M+ I'd be more concerned. They may well spend another £100M this summer but not on one player.

Liverpool aren't paying £150m or even £120m, for Isak, no way they're spending £300m this summer! They'd be in massive PSR trouble with those wages (salah and VVD new contracts) and transfer fees. That's totally unrealistic. They'll see what happens with his contract talks; if he doesn't sign, they'll try again next summer, but if he does, forget EPL clubs, Barca's the likely spot once their stadium cash and other money comes in.

That red card tackle by BJ was horrendous.

Of the penalties JP scored, how many did he win himself? It's excellent that he won many of them, which he did. It's also very good if he wins some here and Isak takes them. I think its a poor reason to knock the lad.

He’s scored 10 non penalty goals in the last 2 seasons. 9 assists. Thats not amazing. Minteh has 10 G/A at the age of 20. Kevin Schade has 13 league goals and 4 assists last season alone. I think a lot of JPs value is outside of G/A anyway. But his G/A and expected data is underwhelming when you exclude penalties. Which I’m going to do because he’s not taking penalties here (even though - he’s not missed any in his career as far as I can tell). Minteh is the opposite, his all round game is raw and basic. But I fully expect him to score and assist 10+ in a season because the final ball, composure, penalty box instincts, finishes are good now and will only improve.

South American clubs always took intercontinental competitions far more seriously than European clubs - the old chip on the shoulder job

Getting a red in this competition is wild.

Isak had also scored 17 league goals in a la liga season by 22 and 13 in 16 by 20 in the Eredivisie. That poor season prevented a bigger club from going in for him. Pedro is a little closer to Gordon (but more established). It’s a great profile fit for Howe and gambling on potential.

12 places for Europe, not 6

When a current senior player and former captain of a football club is publicly cavorting with a notorious bimbo while dressed like a clown, it's bound to attract comments on an internet forum devoted to fans of said club.

He’s got 28 goal contributions in the league across 2 seasons with 19 of those being goals in the league - and is 23 years old and a full Brazilian international. He had 6 goals in the Europa league 2 seasons ago for Brighton. Now I am actually a little annoyed here. So he’s scored 25 goals and has 9 assists across 2 seasons in all comps. How is that not an excellent return for someone who was 22-23 years of age across both seasons?

I wanted to say this when it was happening about DCL and I am gunna say it now when it's Tripps... there's some huge fucking irony in grown men posting on an Internet forum talking about how other men are dressed and chastising them and thinking there the fucking weirdo... get a fucking grip and grow up!

He’s really gonna’ help us break down low blocks. Float in those half spaces, tease defences away from their box whilst creating space for Isak, Gordon/Barnes etc. Should work exquisitely well with Tonali and Bruno.
