I literally hadn't even noticed the teams were the wrong way round.

And Brighton V Liverpool or Wolves. Boring.

I'm glad I never resorted to the vitriol and hatred others did, but I definitely thought he was out of his depth and must admit he's turning me round as well.

I don't like the constant praising of himself in press conferences - "I thought we were tactically brilliant, me putting Alvarez on was a brave decision in the circumstances".

That's what I was saying. Edit; sorry, just messing. Didn't read your initial post properly.

If they're going to start putting players on the line then all we have to do is drop the ball in behind the defence for someone who would otherwise be in an offside position.

His corners are fine, we just haven't had anyone effective at getting on the end of a set piece since Van Dijk left. All our defenders now seem to sh*t themselves when heading the ball in an attacking sense and close their eyes really early, meaning it just bounces up and over.

Jesus you can actually see them all look at him, not wound up in the slightest, thinking what an absolute moron.

Tough game, probably end up being a loss to keep us grounded in reality. Would be really nice to be the surprise package second half of the season and storm up the table but I doubt it.

All last season, with Romeu playing in DM, JWP played an advanced role under Ralph and ended up with double figures for goals.

Little bit of David Bowie... There's a Starman running down the right, his names Kyle Walker-Peters and he's f*cking dynamite

Never thought he looked as good as people said when he played previously, but it was interesting hearing Jones say that he was brought in and asked to be a footballer before being a defender...sometimes going back to basics is the best thing. I like defenders that can play from the back, but I love defenders that just focus on not letting anyone past them.

Just noticed today's match against Lewes is live on the FA player at 14:00 today.

That's ridiculously untrue. Last season he saved 67.3% of shots on target. Season before that he saved 71% of shots on target (admittedly only in 8 games). Season before that he was out on loan. Season before that he saved 69.1% of shots on target.

Glad we fucked about with the front line though.

Cup games mean nothing if they don't translate to league form or lead to a cup win...

Hmm.

Who the f*ck is Beto?

Tore them apart down the left and got some great tackles in once he did come on though. He's an excellent squad player.

I enjoyed this answer to Blackmore: "It's four pronged, you have to be right physically, mentally, tactically and physically" 😂

Hopefully they upload the full thing, I missed it.

Hasn't wan bissaka been quite favoured by Ten Haag this season? I don't think he'd be available anymore.

Wish they'd hurry up and announce the days of the matches at least so I can get my holiday booked before the Geordie at work.

Every striker, decent, half decent or world class, misses chances. If you're insinuating that one of the players I listed would be in double figures if they'd played for us this season and had Adams chances I think you're talking nonsense.

Watkins actually has more minutes than Adams but yeah fair point, Daka and Scamacca both have way less. I'm actually wondering if Adams would suit a Joelinton style switch to CM. He's a great passer of the ball, has great strength and has been good closing down and tackling.
