All those weird stalkers should stalk Ashley instead. Might even get rid of him then.

And for you.

Nations League could have been a tournament like the League Cup where most teams field some kind of reserve team, but I would say it's more like the FA Cup. Most teams take it quite serious. You don't have many friendlies in club football, but instead several competitions and I think this is the right way to go. Friendlies are boring, and at least this tournament gives some excitement. At least for lesser nations.

It's not the shoulder, he tripped him.

Clear pen

They have a good one with Almiron. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/miguel-almiron-atlanta-united

Be suprised if Cardiff take more then 9 points from now to the end of the season. We need 3 more and we are safe. 0 chance to go down.

Used my wildcard this week. 72 points with three still to play. Happy with that.

Felipe Anderson out, Sané in. Edit: Didn't realise Aubameyang played on wednesday. Kept him in the team, but changed captain to Sané.

I try to plan ahead so I only need to make changes every other week if possible. Then I can do my double transfers for free.

We have six defenders all looking at the ball. None is aware of their surrounding. That's basic defender stuff, and what makes my blood boil. Kenedy could have done better though, but with six defenders we should have done a lot better.

"Moment of madness" is a bit exaggerating, I think it was clever by him to solve the situation the way he did. I mean the coin toss must be the least importent thing in the game.

Missed there was a friday game this week and didn't set my team up properly. Probably lost 48 points there.

With the world cup and all I'll try a new approach this season. I'll start with mostly cheaper players and £7.5 on the bank. Then try to slowly exchange the team when the world cup players are coming back and I have a better view of who starts and who doesn't.

The whole forum has been super slow for me since yesterday.

Forum is lightning quick for me. Search was fast too, and posting is also quick. Works great

Van Basten, goal of the year 1986. Edit: Have to correct myself. Awarded European goal of the year. Maradona's was obviously goal of the year.

We are actually 8th or something. We are also 9th in shots, and 7th in shots on target. So yes, we need a striker.

It seems some here don't think we create any chances. We are 9th in the league in number of shots, 7th in shots on target and around the same in chances created. We have created enough chances to be way higher in the table. it's only due to Joselu/Gayle/Perez not scoring enough that has hindered us so far. I said it in another thread. We are a decent striker from a top 9 place in the league. We don't need a top scorer, just someone who does his job properly.

The order of the list doesn't matter much. What matters is that we've had one and a half quality striker under Ashleys reign.

That's the thing. We are one decent striker away from a top 10 position. We have five draws, and eight games where we lost with a single goal, and there are plenty of those games where we created enough chances to score that goal we needed. Almost every extra goal for us would be a point giving goal. Compare that to under Pardew where an extra goal in most cases would just be a consolation goal.

Merry Christmas all of you!
