Kid Icarus

It's a pretty short list for me: Guiehi Lodi Neves Maddison, Tielemens Kyle Walker-Peters Gnoto

I think people are being far too harsh far too early with Parker. He has a lot to learn but I think he's possibly got something and he's young.

I'm sorry, but yes they do like. 4:18 onwards 1:20 onwards Plenty of speculative channel balls here And here

No idea how you've extrapolated all of these irrelevant points from me simply pointing out that Liverpool do in fact play it long Which they do.

Whether you think Willock is better is up to you like, imo they're nothing alike to even make that judgement. The main point I was making is that a player being compared with Joelinton is a compliment, not the insult you were implying. Joelinton is an excellent footballer, one of our best.

I'm not? I'm bringing up his speculative balls into the channels, usually to Salah. And as I say, it's not limited to Henderson, TAA, VVD, Robertson all do it too they all just happen to be incredibly good at it. The point being that you were saying 'the top teams don't do that' and that it's 'big sam-esque' despite Liverpool doing it regularly for years now. Yes, the points you're making there are exactly why I bring up that stat about Messi.

Yeah you're right there like. I guess at least we do have people who appreciate him, whereas outside of our fanbase those people are nigh on non-existent.

I always cite the same stat for things like that, Messi had the lowest through ball success rate in La Liga for years.

I've been watching Henderson and TAA play it speculatively into the channels for Salah for years now. Likewise VVD, Robertson and others. It doesn't really matter who does it, the point is that they play those speculative channel balls regularly.

Liverpool play it long all the time and have been doing it for years. Chelsea did it all the time under Mourinho. A lot of the best teams do it

The amount of 'best XIs' and 'underrated XIs' of the season I've seen that include every player in our defence except for Schar is unreal like. Botman is an absolute class act, Burn has performed admirably at left back, and Trippier's undoubtedly been the best RB in the league this season, but none of them have been as consistently a 7, 8, or 9 in the way Schar has. Him and Willock are seemingly our invisible cogs, the players that supporters know are absolutely crucial to our success, while fans of other clubs only see everyone else.

And Murphy tbf, can't really believe I'm typing that.

I love Willock, but it makes no sense to me that you'd say nothing Joelinton does ends in anything so we should, what? play Willock over him? Yet Joelinton has twice the goals and the same amount of assists Willock has. It shouldn't even be either/or if that's the suggestion, you just play both. Joelinton has far, far more to his game than goals and assists anyway.

Just been watching the match again. Noticed that when ASM gets the ball and him and Isak were 2 on 2, Madley blows for half time early. There was 6 seconds left of the additional 2 mins added on. There's a good chance we score from that position.

If Willock was 10 times the player Joelinton is he'd literally be the best midfielder in the world. They're apples and oranges, but any comparison with Joelinton is always a compliment.

Just to add a bit of balance to the force, here's my lass's dad, Len, who's now adopted Bournemouth as his second team due to his undying love for Edward and after watching the minus 17 documentary.

Honestly don't think he's in any more of a bad place than before. We're just seeing on Twitter what anyone who was anywhere within earshot of him in the last 20 years would tell you about him. I heard him going on like that plenty of times in Nine about 10 years ago.

Unsurprising really. Every set of fans has its element with a gigantic chip on their shoulder that think people are only picking on them and them alone.

Remember when Gabriel Clarke used to sign off his interviews with England managers and players with 'England expects' as if he was Cleric in the fucking Ministry of Football? Never liked that lipless freak like, proper creep.

He's not wrong tbf, I'm always impressed with the level of detail sites like that go into.

I think you're talking to the person that set up the site btw

About 5th, sometimes 4th sometimes 6th I think

I couldn't tell for certain if it was a handball when I was watching it tbh. The rule is sleeve height now isn't it, and I thought it was hard to tell whether it hit his arm below that point at any time.

Their fans are notorious cunts and their team was notoriously dirty and boring for like 20 years. As much as I don't particularly like them, I'd still much rather have them in the league than a lot of others.
