Lighthouse

Christ knows what he'd have done to Sugawara.

The idiot isn’t even a talented dancer of any sort. It’s like some guy setting up a YouTube channel called, “Mr Soccer Skills,” then unironically uploading a video of himself doing five keepie uppies and sending it to everyone he knows.

Feels like this fixture has been played on a Tuesday night since the dawn of time, so feels a bit weird having it come up on a weekend. I’d make two changes to the personnel and hopefully one gigantic change to the tactics. Bazunu Mads Stephens THB Jelly Jander Charles Fellows Azaz Fraser Archer

Sadly this does seem to be the case, judging by many of the statements from people I would assume to know a bit more. Poor feller, RIP.

We looked terrible because we were playing like a League 2 team hanging on for a 1-1 draw at Anfield, in injury time of a cup tie. Regardless of the number of defenders, we were just booting it hopefully into their half with no cohension.

Nobody is slating him for playing a back four.

You want people to name an incident that didn’t happen? What was it Maldini said, ‘if I have to make a tackle, I’ve ready f**ked up’?

Strongly disagree on that. He had very little to pass to and was left exposed quite a few times. Pompey played it long down his side a fair bit but I felt like he dealt with most things fairly well. I’d say he was one of the better players, along with Baz, Stephens, Charles and Fraser.

TBH it looked like what it was. A team in transition with a bunch of new players, against a more cohesive unit which was used to playing together in this division. I’d say this was pretty much the worst fixture to have after a frantic end to the transfer window and an international break. I like the team we started with on paper but I’d probably make two changes for the next game; Jander and Jelly for Downes and Manning.

With the money we’ve spent, promotion is a three horse race, with Ipswich and Leicester. If Still is crap we’ll end up fourth but hopefully it won’t come down to that.

It’s still early days but we need to see a big improvement on this. If he doesn’t sort it out soon, we might have to settle for fourth again.

Too many in the space of six minutes, certainly. Three on 60 mins and 2 more on 80 might have been better.

Just a bit. Mine would have sucked up a watermelon had it been positioned appropriately.

Such a typical Armstrong shot. Head down and smash it at a defender because you don’t know what to do with it and you want to look like you’ve had a go and it’s not your fault.
