Kid Icarus

Yeah, they've been the biggest surprise for me considering how excited I was for them to have great starts to the season. Hall in particular still looks like he has a lot to work on.

Match winner supreme

Pope: 8 Livramento: 5 Trippier: 6.5 Schär: 7.5 Burn: 7 Hall: 5 Bruno: 6 Joelinton: 5 Willock: 7 Longstaff: 5 Tonali: 7 Gordon: 7 Isak: 6 Barnes: 8 Murphy: 5.5

You're welcome

Right footed Arjen Robben

How the fuck have we won that

Carragher loves the way we play when we're on it. If we're critical of how we're playing at the moment I would expect him to be. He's right as well, we've been poor in possession and Longstaff and Joelinton have been the main culprits.

Longstaff (and Joelinton tbh) when you're playing possession football are a waste of time.

Our attacking coherence without Trippier is so poor. Everything looks off the cuff but they're all playing passively with barely any intent.

RvN was brilliant like, annoyingly so. Couldn't stand that team they had.

It can be anything, but the way the template is makes it difficult to come up with anything that works when our main colours are already black and white.

It'll either be genius or suicidal. I'm going suicidal

Will do some more when I'm not busy. That one is just what I imagine it'll be based on the whole mainly black one year, mainly white the next pattern that seems to happen. That blue is just based on harking back to the 2004/5 kit and using the blue on the originals tracksuit.

Think he's more the long-term replacement for Schär, but yeah I've not seen him done like that before tbh.

Using that template anything other than black, grey and white looked ridiculous.

Oof. Playing exactly like someone who didn't get a move. Palace are even bigger mugs than us for not accepting what was offered.

You mean only us that have?

I've seen plenty of teams do it against you and somehow manage to mess up the 1v1s mind. Find it all a bit weird tbh.

Villa consistently get away with that high line in a way that always seems lucky. It's mind-blowing how often they're not punished when they should be.

On the take. No fucking way has this match warranted this many yellows

Bournemouth only have themselves to blame for not wrapping it up ages ago tbf

It's incredible just how average at best Caicedo is for the price they paid.

Quoted in the wrong order but the stats are above

Watched that fairly recently and it's no exaggeration like. About as much of a 'Stop he's already dead!' match as you're likely to see. Was creased seeing Albert attempt a scissor kick from the edge of the box within 3 minutes Batty was outstanding as well, completely ran the match.
