We gave shit to Ashley for 15 years for not taking the cups seriously. Now people are giving shit to Howe for taking the cups seriously.

This is better.

That took four minutes, excited to see the four minutes added time.

Great minds think alike.

People should calm down, it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that our squad lacks depth. Semedo is on a yellow so I would expect Wolves trying to help him a lot on the second half so I would bring in Targett for Burn. Longstaff has been fine IMO, I would replace Willock with Anderson too.

I'm pretty sure there's some deep analytics behind it. Kicking it long is basically a 50% chance of losing possession, potentially even higher depending on the players. No one notices it when you score from the possession you kept after playing it short but errors like Gabriel's are obviously really visible. Re-posting from the other thread and it's a post that's worth it tbh.

Multiple handballs. I usually hate soft handball penalties but no idea how he survived that sequence.

Not looking good for Rodgers.

We dominated them for large parts of the game, Crystal Palace have scored from two set pieces and done nothing else.

Haaland not getting even a yellow for that is scandalous ffs.

Seems to be injured, started the first two games and came on from the bench on third. Not in the lineup for the following three games.

Lazio have been really good, deserve the win.

Loan but contract runs out after this season iirc.

I think we need to see more of Bruno to be able to make that call. He absolutely dominated against Forest even from the deepest position but seemed to be a bit wasted against Brighton and Man City which were obviously very different kind of games to Forest. I have no idea tbh. One idea is to get a pure DM that allows us to have Bruno further up the pitch in tougher games and have Bruno as the deepest against easier teams.

Only played 7 PL games last season though. Interesting to see what happens with Tielemans, can't see Leicester not selling.

60m for Isak starting to look like a steal.

Lazio-Inter just started if someone hasn't noticed.

Must admit I have no idea who Rangers have bought to replace Bassey and Aribo who seemed to be important players on their run last season.

I assumed that was what Optimistic Nut presumed but yeah, Rangers away at Europe will never be an easy fixture for anyone. Ajax will naturally have down years as they are such a good sellers and now lost their manager too. I still don't know what his post indicated unless it was just that Liverpool probably wins it due to weakened Ajax and Napoli.

There were lots of posts in yesterday's match thread about not wanting to risk our better players but everyone still wants us to take cups seriously. Seems a bit unfair on managers, either they take it too seriously or should have rested more players but in any case if they get knocked out they get pelters.

I don't think this is from a reliable source.

It has to be gene-related. I haven't been injured once despite training a lot on a high junior level when I was younger and been doing some kind of sports all my life. Warming up and stretching have been dismissed as unnecessary for 15 years now but nothing ever happens. Some mates have been doing the same sports as me for all our life and are injured all the time.

I know Rangers will be last and Liverpool probably wins but who's the obvious second?

Thank you, appreciate it! Dying to get over again and spend a week there.
