Bimpy474 Posted yesterday at 17:50 Share Posted yesterday at 17:50 (edited) WTF is she on about, Glasner's impact was immediate as you could ever get for Palace last season. Just appalling knowledge of the game, just saying words without a hint of knowing anything. Edited yesterday at 18:29 by Bimpy474 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted yesterday at 17:56 Share Posted yesterday at 17:56 (edited) It was interesting the point Fernandes made in his post match interview about VAR taking away a lot of the edge of the derbies like this. No doubt it contributes to sanitising games a fair bit. Edited yesterday at 17:56 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewel Posted yesterday at 18:03 Share Posted yesterday at 18:03 5 minutes ago, Stifler said: I’m not sure I agree. You have always had boring games, and generally boring teams. You can point to the lack of a title battle and relegation battle this season as it being boring, but in previous seasons the title race has went all the way to the end. This is probably the early the relegation battle has finished granted, but generally it’s a bit more closer at the bottom, heck a couple of seasons ago we had a situation where 2 out of 3 teams could go down on the final day. This season the battle for Europe is possibly the biggest it’s ever been, and in the last 2 years both ourselves and Aston Villa have broken into the top 4, with Nottingham Forest likely to do so this year. You are talking about results and title races. I'm talking about the actual football being played on the pitch. I'm sick of this insipid, possession for possessions sake style of football so many teams are adopting now. Its all very regimented with little room for flair or individuality. Nobody has their own identity now. That said, I'm probably just being an old man shouting at the clouds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She claimed Glasner's impact wasn't immediate, after the presenter said Glasner plays the same way as Amorim, and his impact was immediate, she said it wasn't and it was only being seen now, just ludicrously wrong.

Bimpy474 Posted yesterday at 18:07 Share Posted yesterday at 18:07 (edited) It pains me, but i really like Amorim. Time might change that as Manure's manager, but he seems such a nice honest bloke. Edited 14 hours ago by Bimpy474 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got lucky that his great Barcelona side had the genius of Messi, the brilliance and invention of Xavi and Iniesta, so they were still great to watch. But take them away and what do you have left? You have the Man City that we saw today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted yesterday at 18:18 Share Posted yesterday at 18:18 Title race and relegation battle aside the only bad thing about this season is most of the top 6 have been super bad and boring but they still dominate so many of the live games and the wider football discourse.

Optimistic Nut Posted yesterday at 18:18 Share Posted yesterday at 18:18 Can't blame Pep for that. Also for every possession based team, there's now a Newcastle, Villa, Bournemouth who are in your face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the definition of improved He’s taken top quality players and got the best from them at his club e.g. Haaland Is that improving them ?
