He’s got Kante playing as some sort of second striker and Madueke trying to tuck in and cover for him. An utter mess

United have never been this bad. How have they managed it?
He's got the MEDIA BACKING required to walk in top flight jobs for years to come.
You can hear it. "This isn't Franks fault."
They've still got Potter under contract right? Can they not just say come back Graham, all is forgiven, have another go in the summer with an actual pre-season rather than appointing 'Poch' who will clearly be another catastrophe?
That first half from Sterling on an individual level was incredible but even so, it pales into absolute insignificance to the team. The fat greasy gammon is working wonders.
I said Cucurella was the worst signing but Sterling isn’t far behind. Tuchel’s signings have been properly tragic.

Kovacic and Sterling still on the pitch. Lolz
Thiago Silva :cool:
What a don.
Arsenal fans booing Mudryk :D
A midfield 3 of Kovacic, Kante and Gallagher. Bloody hell. No positional awareness in that midfield whatsoever. Press, press, press
There's fuck all morality in the game of being the best at football. Community is dead.Quote:

Maybe Yevrah was right all along just supporting Sky.Quote:

Fair enough, but even that was misguided, you've seen the new format for the Champions League, right?
Whisper it but Chelsea will be fine whoever they appoint and easily finish top 6 next season.
Yeah it looks crap. Bring back the second group stage.Quote:

We've scored 31 goals this season and those in the top six have scored ~60, where is the doubled attacking output coming from?Quote:

Brighton will jump 30+ goals this season, if they can do it on the wage bill of a singular Baba Rahman then I think you'll be alright.Quote:

I'm watching Big Sam's press conference and I won't lie, it's top level. A direct quote - "There's nobody ahead of me in footballing terms. Not Pep, not Klopp, not Arteta". :cool:
I know it's a ridiculous situation but my absolute apathy for the last four games of the seem has disappeared completely. I still fully expect us to go down but I'm definitely very interested to see what happens again at least.
Big Sam being back is brilliant.
Just realised Warrington Town got promoted to National League North so will be playable on FM24 without addons.
Bet the place went mental!Quote:
Isaac Buckley-Ricketts scored the 90th-minute winning goal in the Northern Premier League play-off final against Bamber Bridge to win 1-0.
Obviously would much rather it was FC St. Helens (or St. Helens Town) but nice to have a proper local team fairly high up the leagues, that isn’t Southport.
At least it was Warrington Town's year.
:D
I get that reference!
I don’t even think there was even any contact for that Liverpool penalty that was given. Klopp and his crying doing wonders.
Must not mention the 'vendetta', must not mention the 'vendetta'......
Trent again the best player on the pitch in this new role, but again asking Konate to play two positions at once has left us quite light at the back at times.
It's been quite entertaining for what is essentially a pointless game.
Who could we sign that could play Konates role well?
Carles Puyol.
You either have to commit to playing him as a midfielder and sign a right back, or get a midfielder in who can do the legwork Henderson used to, to cover him.Quote:

Isn't he also another centre back?
I really hope Liverpool continue this set up with Alexander Arnold next year. They’ll get utterly embarrassed by decent teams (though probably will score a few themselves).
Watching him since half time has been hilarious. Well done mate, you can switch the ball well.
35 in 31 for Haaland to break the Premiership record.
Bonkers.
You could see it in the Spurs game. They went 3-0 down but soon realised they could get joy down our right over and over.Quote:

Spurs have been punting the ball over the top of the right back position for about 4 years against Liverpool [and many other teams have been late adopters to the tactic], so probably not something directly related to this new in-out fullback business which seems to be in vogue.
Well, yeah, people have always targeted him because he’s just a bit shit defending his goal. He barely even bothers to cover the right hand side now though.
I’m sure it’s just an experimental thing since these games are pretty pointless now until the end of the year.
He should really be playing as a CM
He's very much a Pirlo regen now. If we source another Robbo-style pacey RB, we'll be tasty af, otherwise, get Trent back into RB and just make the midfield function and it'll be fine. Gakpo in the central role ensures success next season either way.
