"Footballers". As if all footballers have the same values and the same professional goals. Maybe not as diverse group as some other professions but still, quite a generalisation.

It was "club that tries", and we won't have that until Ashley goes.

Well this was shit.

If this whole thing is true I'm kind of worried how smart our potential new owner actually is.

The asking price is probably 400m now.

What a finish.

You could see Mahrez going down when he expected the contact to happen. But Dummett had pulled his legs back brilliantly.

What a call from the ref How the hell did he see that dive?

Dummett

That's so weird.

Why would you order in popcorn?

He plays so smart now. He used to look a bit lost and just roaming around aimlessly. Now everything he does seems to be for a reason

Great football so far.

Ugh, not a smart yellow to take this early

Mmm...not so sure about that. He like our other defenders seem completely clueless when we're hit on the counter. Keep our shape and they're fine. That probably is true for most defenders but I think it's clear Rafa's tactics and management is making it a lot easier for him and other defenders. Even Dummett looks fucking class and we all know he's a crap footballer really.

Glad our players get some rest and training instead.

Rafa, the coaches, Joselus teammates and some supporters. If Shelvey see that Mitrovic is being picked ahead of Joselu when Joselu out performs him in training, maybe he too will put in less effort because he knows he will get picked anyway. Lascelles see that Shelvey and Mitro are picked ahead of Joselu and Merino/Hayden and puts in less effort etc etc. Joselu gets angry that he is not picked and stops making any effort because why should he if he isn't getting picked anyway. Poor training results in poor match performances and we go down. One of the few advantages we have this season is fighting attitude and team spirit. I don't see why Rafa would risk spoiling that in order to accommodate one player. This is the truth.

Hows that? I dont see the connection here.

I doubt you'll even notice it happening for 90% of goals. It's not like the ref is going to the monitor after every goal, only when he's informed that there is something he might have missed and might want to reconsider. And for things like offsides he wont even check the monitor, he'll just be informed about it and give a freekick instead.

Think he'll give them a cheapish penalty soon.
