Smal Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Just now, LFEE said: Kepa and the Leeds keeper will never not make me question football scouts. I guess they both have age on their sides to convince me. the standard of goalkeeping in general seems absolutely awful to me. Just a bunch of rando players Liverpool - Allisson Arsenal - Raya Forest - Sels Chelsea - Sanchez Man City - Ederson Brighton - Verbruggen Aston Villa - Martinez Bournemouth - Kepa Newcastle - Pope Fulham - Leno Palace - Henderson Brentford - Flekken Tottenham - Vicario Everton - Pickford Man U - Onana West Ham - Areola Wolves - Sa Ipswich - Muric Leicester - Hermansen Southampton - Ramsdale Loads of genuinely bad keepers for this level and very few good ones. The one area that the English academy setup has not managed to get right since all the other improvements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like points total is more important than league position at this point. Anyone from 10th up who can put a solid run together is in business.

Lush Vlad Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago When Odegaard is on it. He is great to watch. I always remember Buffon just randomly saying Andy Carroll of all people was a ‘paintbrush player’ I think it was because he got away with attempted murder on him in a pre-season game. Anyway, I digress. That description fits Odegaard really well, I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFCDoog Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Said it before and I'll say it again, the majority of games are shit these days, been getting worse last few years and will only continue. It's too tactical. Sure you get the odd decent game, Spurs/Bournemouth was alright, as it finished 2 2 it makes it seem better, but it's not like there was a flurry of chances, just the odd good bits of play. The more the players have become highly tuned athletes it's made the games worse too, the better they are technically it just cancels stuff out.

The more the players have become highly tuned athletes it's made the games worse too, the better they are technically it just cancels stuff out. I think every generation always think their era was better. Whether it’s sports, music, how hard people worked etc. I think there’s an element of romanticism and selective memory at times. But I do feel sports science, how well coached and drilled players are, the way tactics have evolved, the in-depth analysis. Often meaning players won’t cross or shoot in certain situations, as the percentages advise against it, as an example. Along with VAR and the diving/cheating getting out of hand. The amount of money involved and PSR/FFP making it even more of a closed shop. Probably a load more I’ve missed. Have lead to a less enjoyable game.

Infinitely Content Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago 2 minutes ago, joeyt said: James went to Wigan That's right, and he paved the way for fellow James right back Reece to join Wigan some years later, which paved the way for young Valentino Francisco to leave Chelsea and find his way to Newcastle, where he will profoundly impact the game next Sunday as we lift our first trophy in a lifetime.
