That foul in the penalty box by Boly how does he get away with it every single time

Some of the passes Ki is playing Will need that creativity from midfield in the homes games vs Huddersfield/Burnley coming up.

Likely the CSKA youtube channel will be showing this live and free as they have done all their pre season matches so far

Looks like they’ve designed some absolute beauties for everyone else how unfair. Which sick minded person came up with our design looks like Puma have let Andre Marriner do ours

For me when everyone is fit and in terms of balance it should be Shelvey or Ki with a Diame or a Longstaff. With the home games to Huddersfield and Burnley coming up we will need to look to create far more than we have the last 3 games. I’d like to see a passer like Ki or Shelvey come in for these Home games coming up where we will need to create more. Hayden and Longstaff as a pair have been good for what the last 3 games required though. Huddersfield press so I’d like to see Longstaff and Ki play together but they won’t, he will stick with Hayden and Longstaff , he can’t afford slip ups, Rafa will grind this out. Aye I’d like to see Ki come in for Huddersfield and Burnley, he played a big role in the 2 home wins in a row against Bournemouth and Watford. Having saw how the new man at Huddersfield approached the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal they are going to be very very open which should suit us. Arsenal played our 3-4-2-1 system against them too and did them a lot of damage down the sides with the wing backs and on the counter with quick transitions, so could be the absolute ideal match for Almiron to make his home debut too. Just glad we arn’t playing a Palace next who can actually defend I think Burnley will be the hard nut to crack. Hoping to see Rafa go with Ki with Diame or Longstaff vs Huddersfield

His left foot is utterly ridiculous I remember first seeing him 3/4 years ago thinking this guy is destined to go to the top. Surprised after his World Cup displays that no big European club in Spain or Italy has gone for him, some of the passes he plays and his left foot goals need to be more seen. I can just imagine how absolutely clueless our British pundits like Paul Merson and Danny Mills would be if an English club signed him they all didn’t seem to have a clue when talking about Almiron, it was as if he had arrived from another PLANET

Good shout. Love the way in which Quique Setien uses our 3-4-2-1 system They get into a solid 5 shape at the back without the ball but they spring so well when they have the ball. Hoping with Almiron we can do some of that lethal transition play on teams as well as they do in the system. Just great watching some of their passing moves through the lines to the two number 10s in the system though Celso plays the Perez role so well. They also alleviate pressure far better than we do in the system with how well they keep the ball something we need to improve on in the system. Love how Betis can either transition you to death or pass you to death AND without being too open. But yeah Betis are worth a watch they play an excellent balanced version of our system. Be interested to see how Quique Setien would get on in England at a Chelsea less naive than Sarriball.

Yeap. Ridiculous player who has a lovely smile on his face, what's not to enjoy. Aye I enjoyed when he made a point of running right across to our away fans after scoring the late winner Came sliding at us punching his fist think it was because Lascelles had fairly put him on his arse and made a boy of him infront of us earlier. Fair to say I wouldn’t put Son or Eddie Howe high on my Christmas card list Son isn’t that great a footballer outside the box though just a very good striker of the ball with both feet with very good movement too.

They should be lower Championship? Not with his Premier League spend they shouldn’t his team isn’t full of League 2 players like the media make out they’ve spent £170million in the Premier League wake up he isn’t doing some Premier League miracle with a team that cost that much. Did wonders in the lower leagues but isn’t doing a miracle in the Premier League like the media make out mid to lower in the table with £170million spent in the Premier League just isn’t a Premier League miracle not a chance.

Wake up he has LOST 9 away games in a row conceding a whopping 24 goals scoring just 3 He wouldn’t last 5 minutes at a Big club.

I’d expect 16th, 12th, 9th from a manager that has had the luxury of spending over £170million on players in the Premier League and a net spend of over £100million. He has bought 11 players costing over £10million each and bought 2 players this season that cost a combined £50million the media and people like you seem to think he is working with league 2 players in the Premier League doing miracles in the Premier League wake up. He did miracles in the lower leagues but he isn’t doing miracles in the Premier League(With the amount he has spent) like the media have everyone believe. You’d think his defence cost an average spend of £3million each player like ours (Dubravka, Schar, Lejuene, Lascelles, Yedlin) not 2 defenders that Howe spent over £20million on each (Ake, Rico) and his side still can’t defend! I doubt Eddie Howe could even organise sex with a prostitute

Wake up pal Eddie Howe has conceded the same as Huddersfield No one is aware of it because the media spend every week only belittling the managers that can actually organise a side. Modern fans seem to think Howe is a football god and Benitez style is out of date had to listen to the cheek of a Fulham fan say it the other day. In Eddie Howe’s case you have to be one hell of a naive manager defensively when a team managed by Jokanovic for a big chunk of the season is the only man to concede more than you. Funny how all these media darlings that the public sheep then fantasize over(Wagner, Jokankovic and Howe) all have the worst defensive records. The public are now absolutely obsessed with it being the “Right way” to play even with relegation sides. Even Fulham fans are singing for Jokanovic to come back and save them have they not learnt anything? I mean dear god they would have conceded 100 goals by now with that “Plays the right way” absolute naive media darling that Jamie Redknapp was obsessing over still in charge. Fulham fans should be absolutely sick of watching the opposition score 3/4/5 every week just for the likes of Paul Merson and Jamie Redknapp and Skysports to get some sexual satisfaction! Entertaining football.. Yeah for the opposition and Skysports.

Ask Rafa Benitez he might know You know the man Richard Keys and the rest of the media spend every single week bashing instead. Even though their naive princess Eddie Howe will never get anywhere near to what Benitez has achieved in management.

:lol: Serious disrespect that post. What a fantastic job Howe has done. Yeah he has in terms of the overall job he has done, he is a good little manager for a little club to take you up the little divisions He won’t succeed at a Big club though watching him manage in the Champions League would be like watching suicide.

Everton fans would lynch Eddie Howe for that away record he wouldn’t last 5 minutes there Not sure his record of conceding an average of 4 goals every time he plays Liverpool would go down a treat with them either. TBH Leicester fans deserve the naive little media princess the most they say they’re bored so give them Eddie Howe and let them enjoy being thumped away from home every week.

I hope they go for Eddie Howe watching such a naive manager in the Champions League would be very very very amusing. Almost as amusing as him losing his last 9 away games in a row conceding a whopping 24 goals and scoring just 3 goals Funny how that stat has been hid by the Southern media to protect their absolute naive little princess.

To be fair to our players though they probably feared checking Boly’s run knowing it was the same Ref that gave a penalty to Salah against us for Dummett tapping his arm the fact he deemed that enough contact would have put fear into our defenders making any slight contact. Strange how he deemed the Salah contact enough against us YET having Boly’s arms around our keepers neck while jumping isn’t enough contact AND the 2 handed push into Almiron’s back by Raul Jimenez in the build up not enough either. Yet gave Raul Jimenez the exact same foul on the exact same side of the pitch on the 63rd minute mark We got unlucky you can’t deny that. Hopefully we get a bucket load of luck in the last 12 games rather than it ending up costing us and hopefully the 155 games without a Red for the opposition run is finally ended before the season ends at the very least. 155 games has to be some kind of world record.

*45 You say that but I was watching the Man Utd match last night and the Pogba red card went into extra time. And Shaw got booked in extra time there was about 1 minute worth of extra stoppage in extra time the Ref had given 4 minutes like our match yet blew at 3 MINUTES 50 SECONDS Most Referee’s don’t bother going over the extra time, most don’t give the luxury of adding more extra time onto extra time.

Nice to see Pogba finally get sent off for the same type of tackle he did on us AND Spurs

Should be 3 or 4 this is what it would be like watching Eddie Howe manage Man Utd in the Champions League

Love how two footed the lad is, rare for a young player to be so comfortable with both feet has that Carrick type composure to go with it too.

Watching that back now, even slowing it down to 0.5x I can't see a foul at all tbf. Raul touches Almiron's back and he collapses like a deck of cards. He had the chance to just hoof it What makes it even worse is the same foul was given to Raul Jimenez on the 63 minute on the same side of the pitch those get given all the time when protecting the ball. Most Referees would have given the foul on Almiron people forget this is the SAME Referee that deemed the Dummett hand on Salah’s shoulder as too much contact yet let the contact on Dubravka’s neck go And the contact on Almiron.

Last week against Shrewsbury, the Shrews fans were fuming it didn’t get any press though the goal was after the 9th minute too Wolves fans must just laugh at the luck they get especially against us and especially for it to be BOLY AGAIN. I mean no wonder Boly put his arms around Dubravka’s neck after knowing he was allowed to smash us in the face with an elbow in the first match. He must love playing us must think it is FIFA on the no rules mode when he plays us.
