Mole

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I haven't watched football in years so what I'm about to say might be outdated pov.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.

Basically yes

One of the reasons Merson is still on TV is because of reactions in this thread. Sky likely know he's a moron, but he gets reactions and likely views because of it so they won't give a shit.

Does he? He's scored 15 league goals in a season once his whole career and 15 or more in all comps 3 times. I feel like he isn't as prolific as the teams he plays for suggests he should have. Obviously miles better than anything this team has had in a long time tho.

Don't really watch anymore, which is probably obvious by my complete absence in this section but I'm happy for everyone here. You all deserve this, it's been way too long since we've had ownership that actually wants to win.

Not watched a game in probably like 3 years and haven't seen this game either but just thought I'd read peoples comments. I don't think comparing his on ball ability to ASM and Almiron is particularly fair. They are a winger and a attacking Midfielder respectively. If a striker had their ball skills he'd be worth like 70m easy.

As you point out, i severely doubt Koeman has much to do with this decision. I'm just surprised it didn't come sooner, they've rested on their laurels because they had the best player in the world. Eventually he was going to come to the conclusion enough is enough.

Pochettino's style of football being vastly superior is a bit of a myth tbh. The man played two DMs and a back 5 quite often, his teams pressed quite aggressively but more did so as a defensive tactic. Not to say he's defensive or anything but he's a lot more pragmatic than his reputation suggests imo.

If you find joy in listening to fake reports then go ahead and do you. It's not my place to criticize that.

Listening to transfer rumours outside of the transfer window is maddening enough but listening to transfer rumours while the world is on lockdown AND the takeover isn't even complete is positively insane.

It's a shame this has happened at a time where I've completely fallen out of love with the game in general. I'm happy for everyone here though, it's way fucking overdue.

There's more important things than football, if the season has to be cancelled then so be it.

World war would, that's the point. This is a world wide problem. Thus the need to be proactive.

They had no choice with the Euros really, a tournament taking place in multiple countries would have likely been a complete and utter disaster.

Don't know why you do this to yourselves every year, as shite as we are (as we are every year) it's blatantly obvious we aren't going down.

I haven't really watched any games but seeing the updates in this thread makes me like this guy.
