My goodness, never expected that. Just f***ing win you mingmongs.

According to the commentary we have missed Tiote who is a big big player for us, and alongside Anita, they offer great protection for our defence. I hope these wankers get paid in stale jizz-filled condoms.

Dummett How is he a PL fullback?

Straight off the bat, Rojo on the bench

 

This game, man.

Coming on now. Could play 60 mins as well cheer up man

Also said he shook hands with Ashley at the end of the season on becoming the manager full time but then never heard anything back.

 

Which soured him to the idea. Probably for the best for everyone.

Absolutely love Shearer, but this!

The Premier League has announced that the French national anthem 'La Marseillaise' will be played ahead of all matches this weekend

Incredibly thick and short-sighted decision for about a million reasons. Can't believe it's actually come to this. Actually, I can. This is ONLY being done for that extra publicity it brings the PL, and nowt else. Embarrassing.

Sako has end product.  The left back has been solid.

No he doesn't He scored in his first two games and that was it. What the fuck kind of player analysis is that anyway?

Totally forgot about Delima.

 

 

 

ffs

Ronaldinho just named Neymar as "his natural heir".

 

f*** me that's Liverpool FC levels of wankery

 

I know, but I like to indulge in Barcelonanism from time to time

Fair enough 

Ronaldinho just named Neymar as "his natural heir".

fuck me that's Liverpool FC levels of wankery

What's fyp ?

final year project

Yet by the same token there are plenty of people who have a pop at players who are happy to sit on the bench or in the stands and count their money. Probably the same people.

This!

It was a good joke.

 

 

In the context of Joeyt

 

Nah not having that. He's much better than that imo.

Why did the Nottingham Forest striker observe a three minute silence?

 

Because he wanted to be sombre longer

Says a lot about the average daily mail reader when that mindless shit makes print.

Someone please gif this for the love of jah

Feel free to cheer Ayoze

After ten-month without an away victory our fans made a 700-mile round trip to support us... Can't describe how lucky I feel with the fantastic fans we have. THANKS!!  #BlackandWhiteFamily

 

Después de diez meses sin ganar fuera de casa nuestra afición recorrió medio país para ir a apoyarnos... son increíbles y estamos muy agradecidos por su apoyo!

 

Btw a 1245 KO is a complete joke: utterly disgraceful

Agreed. Our traveling fans got a huge amount of credit in all commentaries I heard and deservedly so.

Say what you want about the French league being mickey mouse and all that, but fuck me, this video is what supporting a team is all about. So happy for HBA. Deserves every bit of love he gets. The way he plays football is the very reason the sport exists.

What was the deal with the game, did they deserve the win?

 

Neither team really deserved to win. Liverpool were utterly s*** in defence, and wasteful in possession and attack. Palace weren't even a team. 11 men behind the ball, and then Bolasie and Zaha just trying to dribble past the 11 in the red shirts.

 

f***ing pardew

It wasn't even hyperbole. How the fanboys in the media can't see it is beyond me

Haidara's mistakes cost us goals. Dummett is safety first, which might increase pressure but doesn't directly lead to goals.

 

Don't see Haidara getting back in the team anyway. Think Dummett's relatively strong aerial ability compared to the rest of our team in defensive set-pieces is a massive reason he's in the team. Gets his head on the end of a lot of defensive corners.

Even if you fused them together to make a 'superplayer' he'd still be fairly s***.

 

If PD could run he'd be a very handy CB. But at LB I agree. Neither are good enough technically.

Fair summation. I suppose the best way is to rotate them depending on the match situation. Neither one is clearly a cut above the other. Mbabu has played better than both by some distance, but he's so young and inexperienced, we haven't seen how bad he could be when he's not on it.

Haidara's awful man. A liability in possession, not just bad, a liability. We'll concede goals from his crap distribution. Can't defend. Can't attack. Rarely see him put in a decent cross. All he can do is run and get into promising positions before wasting them.

 

I wanted to like Haidara but he's a very long way to go before looking a decent player imo.

That first sentence describes Dummett to a tee. The only thing Haidara has over him is that he can run with the ball which relieves pressure. Dummett's distribution is even worse, and his mistakes tend to keep us under pressure as a result. Also for a relatively big man he's so fucking weak going out to meet wide players. Not keen on him at LB at all.
