Once we get Palace out of the way we're back to one game a week, hopefully the toll on our fitness will level out and we'll be fine going forward. Next midweek game is in October.

I thought he looked a bit like Juliette from Dogtanian and the three Muskerhounds, like.

I'm not seeing any lines of perspective drawn to ensure parrallels are correct.

Double edged sword. No problem watching Bruce's band of broken bastards. But now I'm fully invested all of a sudden the waterways dry up.

Aye. Wait til the cunts rock up to St.James'

My stream froze at that point, ball hovering in front of the goal, with what looked like Elliott ready to get on the end of it. What an anti-climax switching to here turned out to be.

So he's offside because the defender has leaned the opposite direction. Who needs to worry about defensive shape and all that.

I'm not disagreeing just want to say it's a bit of a funny way to judge offside. Imagine Burn and Fraser running for the same ball, both perfectly in line, naturally leaning forward as you do when you run. Burn will be offside just because he's taller than Fraser.

It's unbelievable how easy he is to sell the dummy.

Thn there should have been about 50 mins added on.

Soo from 45 minutes of play, we get 5 mins added, then within the period of that 5 minutes he finds 3 more to add.

i see what you did there.

love it

At last you understand.

Fair enough. But Willock isn't getting into goalscoring positions very often. He's very often the missing body in the box. Isak could be that extra body, but it means changin things around a little and I'm just describing how I think that would be best achieved. Not a lot of sense in replacing Willock with another Willock as the results will be the same. I'm also thinking about when Wilson is fit, but talking about when we're reliant on Wood.

He was brought off after about 60 mins on Wednesday, mind. Could just be that we didn't know the situation with Isak, and were taking a precaution. I'd have no problem with Isak starting in any of the front 3 positions, but I think we might go with Wood and bring on Isak for the last 30 mins. So much depends upon Maxi's availability.

Not in modern football where players can perform numerous different roles in the same position. Particularly when I specify i want him operating in the box. But like you say, enough time wasted.

While the rest of the world report it's been issued.

It's not, but it's not the same as Bruno or Botman either. Lot less risk with throwing a forward in just to see what they can do. Bruno and Botman form a much more important role in how the team operates as a unit.

You'll have to take me through how that leads you to think I want to play Isak as a winger.

Brew? No!

Can you quote the bit that makes that statement as I think you might be full of shit,

Oh ffs. Sorry. "Our third midfielder, who is most responsible for getting into similar positions to what a ten might," seemed a bit long winded for an adult forum.

How many times do I have to say I don't want him playing as a winger? Jesus christ. It's his starting position, I want him operating in the box.

Nah. I want him in the DM position with a specialised AM in the advanced position.
