Kid Icarus

Brighton Palace one of the most one sided 1 nils I've seen in a while. Brighton magic, Palace tragic.

70's a good target for 4th tbf, albeit way way above where I thought we'd have been aiming this season. I thought we'd be looking at aiming for 60 points next season

Aye, they've lost their prestige now. It's like when Edge magazine started handing out 10s to non-revolutionary games around 2007

Henry, Bergkamp, Salah, Ravanelli, Vialli, Crespo...

Man, how am I supposed to want them to go down now? What a lad.

Gullit strikes me as one of those ex-player managers who suffered from not being able to comprehend how players couldn't do the things he found simple. Steve Howey said as much in his Under the Cosh interview.

I feel really sorry for Matt Targett like, he's literally not done anything averagely let alone badly.

Time will tell. I certainly think he's got more credibility in the bank than Lampard and Gerrard at this point.

I'm not a fan of there being a Nico and Neco Williams like, it's just praying for me to get them mixed up at some point.

Haven't heard anything about him good or bad tbh. Forest fans seem to like him a lot though - https://www.forestforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/renan-augusto-lodi.50690/page-26

Would be a bit weird to be in that scenario tbh

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.
