Me neither, think it can be a decent system TBH. FWIW I think Anita could play alongside a genuine DM who can actually affect the game. Yep, I'd love to see this. Sell Colback and Tiote and get a proper DM alongside Anita.

Don't think McClaren feels safe enough to implement proper wide men yet as we're down in the rut, as indicated by ignoring Thauvin even when we were up by 3-4 goals.

Thought you were agreeing with him? He's another one embarrassing himself just to disagree with me. I was on your side and defending you! Wtf, lol This TCD rhetoric has reached toxic levels, like. Everyone needs to calm down and have a drink (including the dude himself).

I see TCD cutting a lonely figure, typing away with his hoodie up in darkness, a pariah in lives both digital and real. People should take it easy on him. We all know people who have wildly opposing opinions to, well, almost everyone else. Keep beating on, TCD, boats against the current.

Love the title-change There were a few times I muttered big Al's name to myself (more so than the usual daily dosage) while watching him play. Fuck, it feels so, so good to have a player like this again in our team! I'm putting it down to blind luck rather than some elaborate tactical policy.

I loved how Pards and Carv shat themselves and played him as the #9 because he was the only cunt scoring in that turgid setup.

Agenda Love this place. Almost every choice of a word is over the top and exaggerated, but if it wasn't, it wouldn't be the internet. I'm not defending Mbemba-gate at all, btw.

Agreed. People amaze me.

I would suggest he breaks up our own play pretty well.

Our best looking player since Cabaye.

While that's true, it may be the only time in the history of the Internet that a future Serbian warlord will be compared to Gandhi. He looked like the king of chavs next to the refined Gini in that interview Although Gini does seem to have incredibly superior bone structure compared to mere mortals.

Considering a fair chunk of us were barely born by 1992 I'm a 1993 bandwagoner. If you've stayed with this club with all the shit since then, you deserve a motherfucking medal of honour. This club is the only time I experience more pain outside the bedroom.

This cunt needs to be sold along with Tiote and we need a proper DM behind / alongside Anita.

By the far the dumbest post I've read on here for a while. Sorry, dude. Edit: didn't mean to come across as a dick. I just think this whole 'intelligence' debate in footballers is so subjective and often people forget the little awesome things a previous player did for us, as we only remember the bigger, more striking memories they left us with. HBA is/was as intelligent as they come on and off the ball. But overall, I wouldn't even compare the two. Different kinds of players, Ayoze as someone said above, is a lot more reserved. HBA is like the hooker you go on a binge with.

McClaren played a blinder with him. To be fair to Mcclaren, now he's played the guy and seen what he can do, he hasn't messed him about. Pardew would at this very moment in time be looking to ruin it for us, by playing Cisse up top with Mitrovic based on absolutely nothing. Would have then justified it by blaming Perez for not making a tackle which would have stopped a goal from occurring 15 mins later. Classic bitch move. I just shuddered at this scenario because you KNOW this is exactly how it would've gone down. Willo lumping long balls to Mitro who knocks them down for Cisse to be off-side.

Fair point about him coming on for Mitro instead of Cisse. We could've thrown Ayoze in the centre a la Pardew and Carver.

This. I lived in the area when they were pretty far away from even competing for promotion to the PL and the fans were still as deluded and arrogant as they come. It's Croydon

What is with our goalposts and why do they keep moving?

TCD even getting it from the BBC now: Tottenham 0-0 Liverpool Posted at 2 mins Jurgen Klopp's first two minutes in English football have been very scrappy. Neither team has strung more than a couple of passes together so far. Must be down to all the pressing going on...

... this. I was mildly optimistic going into the next run of games and now suddenly he's told me that I should actually be shitting the bed Where oh where do ashley and his cronies find these people?!

What exactly has this cunt "built" anywhere he's gone? He literally has a track record of building horseshit teams that sink down the table the longer he stays with them. So actually, he's right, and he knows his limitations, and that his success only lies in the first few months of his tenure. So it would make perfect sense that he would want to manage England for one tournament, and then dipset.

He asked for the Wolf and instead Ashley opened his chest and out stepped Charnley in his gimp suit.

That paragraph and the one after it made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Much like Ryderisms, can these be put down as Waughisms? Woffisms?
