Kid Icarus

With rotation aye. It's obviously not manageable beyond a certain point when the same XI has to play full 90 minute matches in an intense period. It's not like they're faking it, if they look knackered it doesn't matter whether they should be or not, they just are.

I never understand why people make this argument. They're also playing against top athletes

It was the anti-Pope performance, decent kicking and on the ball, poor shot stopping and command of crosses. He should improve with more games though hopefully

Mistakes like that happen when you're knackered like, it doesn't matter how good you are, especially in his role and with the mileage he has on the clock. Can't really bring myself to criticise him tbh.

Shite match, shite and clearly tired performance, shite result. We looked jaded from the start and it told by the end, not just with Trippier and others making tired decisions that cost us, but Gordon and Almiron snatching at chances and Isak on the odd occasions he looked like having an opening, either making the wrong decisions or lacking the execution needed. It's no surprise that the mistakes cost us right at the end, with the minutes, matches, and injuries all catching up with us and specifically one of our oldest, most played, and most active players, who we know is so, so, so much better than that - and not helped by 3 poor attempts to keep it out from Dubravka. The away matches seem to be the ones where our energy really suffers and although it'll be hard, Howe will have to do what he can with what he has to sort it out, or we'll just have to live with it until we get players back. Dubravka: 4.5 Trippier: 4.5 Lascelles: 6 Schär: 5.5 Livramento: 6 Bruno: 6 Joelinton: 6.5 Miley: 6 Almiron: 5 Isak: 5.5 Gordon: 5

I think it is like, we don't look as knackered as Bournemouth but we still look jaded.

Ref was fine aside from giving the ball to them after we had it just outside the penalty area when play was stopped. It's been a poor, stop-start game.

Exactly what I feared, a distinct lack of energy.

His reaction to even the gentlest amount of self-depreciating humour is so stereotypically German like.

Maim concern is our energy levels. If they're there I'm confident and if they're not, like at Bournemouth, then I'm not.

Nolan was really only a second striker and a very useful one. As a midfielder he was dire and is probably only not mentioned among some of our worst because we also had Smith, Geremi, Faye and Butt around that time.

Lush kit You can add a trim by adding a stripe to the shorts, turning it 90 degrees and offsetting it to the bottom. Do it 3 times and space them out and you can do horizontal adidas stripes.

The yellow, blue and white one is exactly like the Killy Middle School kit like, or if you want to be pedantic about it, the Brazil national team.

So what you're saying is, you hate David Kelly. Disgusting

Someone please help me, I've abandoned my family.

Alright, hear me out...

I thought they were good last night but I've seen them play better than that (most notably against us). Thought they were protected a bit by a fairly lenient ref and Man City were obviously really poor. Their rolling 38 game total is 75 points. If they draw their next game they'll equal our 38 game peak under Howe.

Anyone who's going to Joey Barton for any kind of moral guidance or authority on anything is already a lost cause tbh.

?

Done a couple using existing adidas kits as an indication of what they'll do, so added the castles to the socks, patch on the back and stuff. Based on how they were talking in the Amazon documentary (ie a modern 02-03 kit) - don't really like it. Based on the most recent footyheadlines leak (a modern 87-88 kit) - still don’t really like it because of the patch on the back

Based on that kit YouTube channel it's because they hate the things punters love: safe, classic, simple. They're always wanting to be innovative and original which more often than not results in kits that look shit

There are loads who wear them when they're able to. Most notably Ronaldo and Mbappe

I'm off work with a poorly child clinging to me, so I'm gonna just make kits all day I reckon

Ah, I see it's been covered

Wew, I can't even imagine
