    Reece James looks good, albeit against Cleethorpes Hellscape United, but Dave could be under threat sharpish.

    Filip Helander is the slowest player I've seen since Kevin Kyle. I'm confident the linesman has beaten him for pace two or three times tonight.

    Can't be slower than Blind.

    Oh and fuck's sake

    EDIT: 16 and English? We'll pay £30m for him in January.

    That's the most Welsh name of all time.

    Callum Chambers looked like Cafu yesterday. Even pulled off a perfect cross on the volley, was proper video game stuff.

    If he’s not starting for Chelsea and doesn’t make the Euros it’ll be from breaking his leg again. Far too good. Gilmour ran the game at times as well. Hudson-Odoi really should stick to the right wing until his shooting and composure improves as his crossing is already at a good level.

    Actually it might go to five because Romero is just the sort of flapping idiot to save one or two, so put Fred down for a successful kick.

    What happened on that second Rochdale penalty? Was that the first time he's ever kicked a ball?

    I see the path is basically being cleared for City to win this again.

    They'll get the winner of Crawley v Colchester in the next round whilst the winners of Chelsea/United and Liverpool/Arsenal will face off.

    Good draw for us imo. Either we get a morale boosting win against a team better than us or we get knocked out before the fixtures pile up. Win/win.

    Reckon we have the measure of United at 2nd XI level, so not a bad draw, unless they take it seriously.

    As seen yesterday, a serious United side isn’t such a terrifying opponent. Have United won away after that PSG game?

    Edit: nevermind. They haven’t.

    Don't know if anyone cares about nerd shit, but I put together some schedule-adjusted xG based ratings on the Premier league so far.



    Anyone that has played City has a massively tanked defence rating, and what I've seen of Newcastle really does bear out in the numbers.

    I'm guessing 1 is the best and 0 the worst and how each compare in relation to the best, based on whatever xG is. In other words, complete wankery, just look at the goals for / goals against columns and you will have the same information (or even better, the points table.)

    It's just normalized so 1 is the best and 0 is the worst, easier on the eyes than scaling between 8 and 16 or whatever.

    You can look at goals for and against, but I don't think it's controversial to say that they can often lie. This is purely which teams have been best at creating and preventing chances. Normalized by schedule means I've taken their performance vs each opponent and compared it to how that team has done in each of the rest of their games.

    There are a bunch of caveats (small sample being the primary), but I find this sort of thing interesting to look at.

    That is interesting. I've thought we've 'played better' than our league position suggests, so good to know there's something that backs that up. I'd have guessed Norwich would be way higher and United a bit lower.

    Two votes for Mohamed Salah in the Best Fifa men's player award were not counted because signatures were in capital letters, says Fifa.

    The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) said acting Egypt coach Shawky Gharib and captain Ahmed Elmohamady voted for Liverpool forward Salah.

    Nicaragua captain Juan Barrera called into question the authenticity of his country's votes in the awards as he said he did not submit any votes.

    Fifa's records show that Barrera voted for Lionel Messi as best player and Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp as best manager.

    "I did not vote in the awards #TheBest2019 any information about my vote is false," 30-year-old midfielder Barrera tweeted.

    The Sudanese Football Federation also said its published votes did not match the votes it cast.
    FIFA cheating to ensure Messi won...

    I've only watched Brighton in the game against Saints and the red card changed everything.

    I feel like weve on the whole even quite lucky. I think weve had 5 big VAR calls go our way, which has had a huge swing on our position.

    If Mané had his shooting boots on we'd have this wrapped up already.

    Sheffield United putting a lot of work in off the ball so hopefully we can pick them off late on. They seem to be playing a 5-3-2 but pressing high and then when they get the ball, all bar one CB sprints up the pitch to join in. It's quite a thing.

    Barkley, Alonso, Azpilicueta, Pedro and Willian in the same team. Meltdown central.
