Mole

I'm happy when my hair looks as good as this for 30 minutes after a shower. But he's looking like that after spending 90 minutes running round a football pitch. I hate him.

I seem to remember at the time people saying the pace of the league wouldn't suit him at all as well. It wasn't just a question of quality, like he was decent to good as you say but the style of play wasn't all that conducive to him playing his best football.

Growing up he always seemed way more lethal for us than he was for Man U, but that might just be me being so young i didn't understand the game all that well. Like i'm old enough to remember both era's but to say i was old enough to process it wouldn't be accurate.

Amar'e-esque tbh.

As someone who used to do admin I'm pretty sure if I went to Chelsea they would have ruined me too.

What now?

Yes

I haven't watched football in years so what I'm about to say might be outdated pov. I think not suited is probably not the best way to describe it, I would say he has certain limitations which prevent his teams from reaching a certain ceiling. Which is fine, not everyone can coach teams to play amazing football and get results and I'm sure no fan of a team he coached is complaining about the trophies he won over the years.

Me: Let's check in on NO, I don't really watch football anymore but they must be upbeat about the new season and generally pretty happy right?

Absolutely, like that confidence is what gets these guys to where their at. I haven't watched any games at all so idk the situation but i absolutely think he believed he would get more game time than he seemingly has.

Most footballers (professional athletes in general) have irrational confidence bordering on arrogance so likely not.

Angling for a move to Notts County. Seems concerning.

Kinda have, I haven't really watched any games in ages. But I'm just chilling on my day off reading up on everything. It's cool seeing how much happier everyone is these days.

I find it VERY difficult to be sympathetic to a fan base that supports a team who spends 70m+ on a single player. City are obviously in their own league with this stuff but I struggle to feel sorry for Liverpool.

I honestly don't think they care about expert analysis though, if they did they would get way different guests on.
