Deuce

That’s pretty cool tbh

You can say that again

Wonder if he couldn’t do a job abroad. Could probably cut it in Ligue 1 or Serie A.

Karius off to Besiktas on loan

Presumably anyone who’s never heard it pronounced the English way pronounces it the way it looks.

Seemed like an unusually chummy embrace between Mourinho and Hughton. They pals, ever work together?

Fred

Nice save

Tbf there’s nothing to indicate that he’s actually in the mix, let alone a “leading candidate.” Only that he’s interested in the job. I’d be surprised if he was their choice, he has no connections here. Apparently USSF has been in talks with Juan Carlos Osorio.

oh my fuck

Really hard to say how he’ll turn out, as he’s got talent. He just hasn’t played. 33 league games under his belt across four seasons. He desperately needs to get a full season in somewhere. It definitely won’t happen here, so I’m not concerned if we do end up selling him.

Agreed, but he’s the best non-#10 we have

Rafa would have been a better option for the pen today. Everyone could see it man My missus isn't massively in to football but was watching the game with me and even she said he's gonna miss based on how he performed in the rest of the game. I get that Rafa has his set ways and if Ritchie wasn't on, Kenedy was the next penalty taker but howay. Everyone but Rafa or any of the players knew it'd be a bad idea with Kenedy. Needs to be some flexibility.. Not saying you’re wrong but is that not the manager to blame then as he could have sent an instruction for Kenedy not to take it. Ritchie had a poor game but out of the two Kenedy should have been pulled. Ritchie is the only one who looks comfortable in taking a pen as we have seen with the last two. Needs to be sorted fast as Ritchie seems to be pulled off regularly by Rafa so need someone capable of stepping up. That's what I'm saying, Rafa should have made the call to get Shelvey taking it. Ritchie was subbed off, and after the match Rafa confirmed that Ritchie was the designated taker, after him it was Kenedy who was obviously still on so he took it. Bellamy (knob) and Carragher in the studio were both saying they know what it's lke playing for Rafa, and with him these things are set in stone and players will get fined if they take the penalty off the 'designated' takers. I'm saying these things have no reason to be so set in stone imo. Everyone knew Kenedy was having a shocker, but Rafa left it as was Totally agree and come the end of the season those lost 2 points could be vital. Fuck me to death.

A point on the road is better than none. On to next week.

Kaka

Descent into full-on knuckle-dragging dipshittery from some here after a poor performance.

he had a hell of a purple patch for a little while there

GREAT POST ONLY KIDDING ITS TERRIBLE

“No no no, I didn’t mean blacks. Just players like Pogba and Lingard. Or Sterling, perhaps Oxlade-Chamberlain. Guys like Rashford and Martial. The Alexander-Arnold type, you know.”

It’s pretty deplorable, but you’re nuts if you think the matches wouldn’t be well-attended.

Totti. And De Rossi, despite only recently becoming captain
