Stick Kyle Walker in nets.

I wish I could remember who went in goal that time Kluivert scored to beat Chelsea. It can't have been John Terry.
On a serious note, how does FM deal with keeper attributes for outfield players? Pro Evo just defaults them all to 40 (the lowest) and leaves it like that across the board.

There's something so cartoonishly predictable about sports administrators and it is so consistent across different sports. How is it that only the shittest brand of two-bit villain ends up in those roles? Is it just the person who was happy to cross the right palms with silver on the way up, and therefore has zero moral fibre?
God that's pathetic. The old boy at work said 'negro' the other day and time stood still.
Early retirement.
You'll completely understand the geezer when we're losing our jobs in our 50s for disgustingly incorrect use of pronouns in regards to whatever creatures are floating around by then.
Could do a little presentation for Rice tomorrow night as he never came back to collect his 2019 young player of the year award.
Right wing PM Scott Morrison has congratulated Biden on his win.
Trump TV is going to be amazing.
International pressure is one of many reasons why this apparent attempt by Trump to stay in post is not going to work on any level.
Fark wrong thread.
It is sort of about getting the sack, run with it.
Let's just carry on.
Great win for the Republicans in Carolina.
People are dying. Null and void is the only way.
Leicester for the league.
Fucking hell, that is such good news. You don't get impact injuries in training (unless Raheem's stabbed him) so fingers crossed it's fucking serious.
Fabinho back anyway so it’s definitely good news assuming Matip can stay for a game a week
His misguided belief that he can make long passes results in us wasting possession half a dozen times a game. Get Nat King in who is equally shambolic but at least has the humility to recognise it.
Ashley Williams is a free agent. The committee may have to disband.
Some sort of knee tendon injury, surgery, out for [a significant portion of] the season.
Second time he's had a bad one with England. He's the new Jamie Redknapp.
So he's done his ACL twice and broken his leg and he's only 23. That's impressive. Is it the same knee as last time too?
I like this reversion to the mean, Liverpool being nearly injury-free for multiple consecutive seasons was getting annoying
No PEDs in the England camp, so his bones get all brittle.
Ok, let's do this for the Liverpool Best XI then
Games missed over the last 2 seasons due to injury:
Mane - 3
van Dijk - 0
Firmino - 5
Salah - 2
Henderson - 12
Wijnaldum - 0
Trent - 5
Robertson - 0
Alisson and Fabinho both had one medium-term injury that kept them out for about a dozen games.
Matip has been injured a fair bit
And Ox is Ox, I'll give you him.
With your star players you have been insanely lucky
I'm pretty sure Van Dijk has missed a game or two lately. You might have heard about it.
Yeah, which was my point in the OP. Liverpool finally feeling God’s wrath. This data was from the previous 2 seasons
The front three, and Robertson have been remarkably durable [although the greatest victory within the period came without Salah or Firmino], Van Dijk obviously pre-Pickford, every other department of the pitch has had injuries. Keita has literally never been fit, Ox has never really come back after blowing his ACL up against Roma, Allison missed a fair chunk of last season and is probably the most important player in the squad, Fabinho missed a fuckton of games as he was injured during the November-January insanity period (another player without an easy direct alternative for his DM role), Matip injured all the time, Mané has missed games (injured on Intl duty) although I think that falls outside your time parameter. So yeah, Liverpool haven't had their entire team injured for two years plus constantly, if that's the standard, but they've had enough. Not even to get into the likes of Shaqiri who's continued absence last season reeked of recreational drug misuse or something. Gomez before that when he broke his leg/foot and was out for 6 months (those 6 being within the 2 year time frame). I'm sure Henderson has been more absent than those stats suggest.
It doesn't matter, as that's why you have squads of players, but the idea that Liverpool have just coasted by playing the same XI for 2 years plus is just plain wrong. I think it is more noticeable as Klopp doesn't mix the approach up like a twat so you always pretty much know what Liverpool are going to line-up like in 9+ positions (sometimes all 11).

All he’s arguing is you’ve been lucky with Harley any injuries to your key players. Allison and maybe Fabinho are the only two. Van Dijk, both your full backs, Wijnaldun and the front 3 have barley missed any games.
Clearly the peds have worn off
Not really [re: peds] as most of the key players remain uninjured [for now]. Almost as if that's an actual quality. What do they say, the biggest predictor of injury is past injury? The current defensive 'crisis' is only really Van Dijk having been murdered, the other two [and Lovren when he was still there] were constantly injured much of the time.
Forgot about this shit tonight.
Interesting looking England team. I wish he'd fuck-off with this 3/5 at the back shit. I know it's perhaps situational but that side's getting eaten alive by anyone with a functioning midfield.
Grealish
Winks and Mount
He needs sacking. All that attacking talent and he has the handbrake on to accomodate Michael Keane.
Is it on the telly at all? Can’t see it listed anywhere.
They've probably got Aidy Boothroyd earmarked for if he loses 4-0 to Skopje in the group next summer.
I check soccerway more often than I do whatsapp with my gash and I can safely say I still don't have the slightest clue what's going on with this nations league bollocks. It seems like there's about 6 different routes to qualification, with 18 finals and 2 simultaneous tournaments. Scotland have to beat Serbia to qualify but "North Macedonia" qualify after 37 year old Pandev scores and Kinkladze misses a pen.
The worst aspect of it is the bit that Macedonia have just won which is the reserved spot at the Euros for D-league teams (presumably to buy the votes of the smaller nations at election time).
It's all convoluted wank of the highest order. I didn't even know qualification for the Euros hadn't finished by the time we locked down. How in the hell not?
