Odear

Willian is having a rare shocker.

This 5 at the back, expect the center forward to hold the ball up long enough for the rest of the team to race up from the box or just outside it half worked for Benitez, it’s not working for Bruce. He doesn’t have the managerial talent to change the culture of the team. The notion that these players can’t keep the ball is ridiculous though. They are being trained and instructed to play this way, or were. I suspect Bruce had to ask how they did things before and has just tried to replicate it. He’s been lucky but luck always runs out. I think the only man who could turn us back into a team playing attractive football is KK.

He started brightly. But has been more and more anonymous as the game has gone on. They’ll need to show some grit to get back into this.

Lazarro has to do better there..

So Liverpool need 5 more wins to confirm the title. They play us last at SJP in May, will the trophy be presented then or will they get it before?

He’s improved every game he’s played so far. Wouldn’t write him off just yet.

Trying to convince the helicopter anoraks that water is wet is a lesson in futility. I don’t mind taking a bit of stick but when 95% of the people who post on this thread literally contribute nothing other than reposting bullshit from Reddit or Twitter it gets a bit tedious.

The f*** are you talking about? Blaming the Coronavirus on the Takeover talks not progressing :lol: Read the f***ing news. It’s all over the business reports and general consensus is it will be terrible for several economies. It’s definitely a reason why talks would stall a bit. There’s reaching and there’s this. Unless Ashley, Staveley or the crown prince himself have got bat lurgy there’s absolutely no reason why coronavirus is a factor. Well hypothetically, if Ashley is being true to himself and putting stipulations into the deal, he may not be in as strong a financial position to be doing this over the next few months if as has been reported, his suppliers are on hiatus. The key to him leaving has always been Sports Direct doing badly.

I also wonder if this soon to be pandemic from China is forcing a slow down to the frequency of negotiations. It’s widely expected to create a very sudden downturn in several economies due to manufacturing and trade essentially being stopped indefinitely. If I was buying something from someone whose business relies on their clothing being made in China, I’d just wait a little while and see if they get a bit desperate.

Ashley flew back to the states last week though?

Silence is golden. The quieter it’s become the more desperate the national and local rags have gotten to produce bullshit click bait. They’re struggling to rehash weeks old info at this point. If it is indeed happening, it means that all parties are doing what they’re supposed to be doing which is doing it quietly.

No it wouldn’t. He’s showing signs of improvement. He does need to be rested but there’s a break now so it should do a few of them good. Almiron too who’s been running himself into the ground.

I can’t believe he’s got the nerve tbh. Strung along posters in here for weeks with his bullshit. I wouldn’t have minded too much if there had been an explanation or apology afterwards. I understand it when people are a bit bored or lonely and want to do something to feel relevant or part of something but to not admit that afterward I find a bit difficult. Blame Midhat. We all got sucked in. Everything up until the last week or so checked out. They had enough money to go window shopping and that’s all apparently. But if you want to blame me for the club not being sold that’s grand. I couldn’t give a fuck if your feelings were hurt. It was a frenzy at that point, so why not take the piss.

Or it’s entirely possible that the deal still needs time. It got leaked well before it should have been. All sides unhappy about it. The likes of Caulkin who should know the inside track has been unusually quiet or the odd comment he’s made have been vague generalisations. He knows more for sure.
