54 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Glad that a team with that cunts name got utterly shafted in their "big" game. Edited November 2, 2023 by 54 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Kind of crazy how West Ham put out pretty much their strongest team yesterday. They are in Europe, just like us. Edited November 2, 2023 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Perhaps their 2nd team don't have the same mentality as their 1st team, unlike an Eddie Howe team? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that 2nd team will have to start playing soon anyways if they start getting injuries like we did. However I can see now that Paqueta and Alvarez was out for the next one due to suspension anyways, so it makes sense that they played.

Paullow Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Slim pickings on TV tonight, a couple of Italian Cup matches on ViaPlay, but there is also a bottom of the table clash in Holland - Ajax vs Volendam, bottom vs third bottom (sounds crazy). Hopefully a chance to see Kuol play for the visitors. You can still get 11/1 on Volendam to win, so more than likely it will be a home win, and probably comfortable, but shit will really hit the fan if they don't and Ajax are still bottom come full time. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/dutch-eredivisie/table Match is on Mola TV, an app, which I think is still free. I had it at the back end of last season and watched the final day of the Belgium league which was amazing as the lead changed hands between 3 different clubs, but deleted it, so will look to get it back and cast to the big TV.

Paullow Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) A bit different with West Ham. Their group is reasonably strong for the Europa League, certainly compared to Liverpool's, but they are still playing the likes of TSC Backa Topola where they started Ings, Kehrer and Mavropanos, who haven't started a single league match this season, likewise Fornals, Kudos, Cresswell and Ogbonna who have only started 1 PL match each, plus their cup keeper, so that's 8 of your XI who are fringe players. The Europa League, and certainly the Conference, definitely allows you to use your squad more in the earlier stages, and big names are not going to be pissed off if they are rested for a few of those earlier matches, whereas a Bruno, Trippier, Botman etc. wouldn't be best pleased if they had to skip a PSG match that they worked so hard to qualify for the previous season.

Paullow Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Kuol on the bench for Volendam tonight. The lad Johnson, who replaced him at half time the other day, starts. I've just downloaded Mola TV again so will have it on in the background again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Moyes did the same a couple of seasons back. He’s not good at rotating and they faultered badly at the end of the season and were meek in their SF v Frankfurt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed to decide that it'd be easier for them to get CL football by finishing 4th than beating Frankfurt over 2 legs then Rangers/whoever the other semi-finalist was that year.

I’ve got/once had a minor interest in it and wouldn’t mind rekindling the flame. Just didn’t know what site(s) were best to follow the latest news on is all.

Bit shite how it’s being played in Rio so it’ll effectively be a home game for Flu. Two of the best kits going though. Hopefully at least two reds and Cavani to win it for Boca but if Boca win on pens they’ve won all their knockout games on pens which can’t have happened before surely?

You into your South American football as well? What sites are best to stay in the loop for it? I’ll be hoping Boca bag it like I’ve always loved their strips. Genuinely gutted I’m missing this match as I’m at a mutual friends wedding evening do. Think I’ll record it and watch it hungover spoiler-free on the Sunday.
