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

    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.

    He’s been shite. Concedes from outside of the box every other week. Not his fault he’s tiny I suppose.

    Kovacic and Sterling still on the pitch. Lolz

    Arsenal fans booing Mudryk

    A midfield 3 of Kovacic, Kante and Gallagher. Bloody hell. No positional awareness in that midfield whatsoever. Press, press, press

    As if the starting line up wasn’t bad enough with players who won’t be there next season, he’s now brought on a bloke who is only at the club because of a faulty printer

    It was amusing to watch the Super League toys out of the pram on here, as if the game at the top level (and some below) hadn't gone to hell in a handcart years ago. It's been an entertainment business, with profit or self relevance being the driver for decades now.

    I think the main Super League complaint - on The Third Half dot com at least - was that it would have been shit and having Tottenham involved was lol, rather than people suddenly realising that the game was gone.

    Not really sure it should be much of a surprise. 1 game a week and half the mongs offloaded. Poch will have some fun, especially when he signs an actual striker and DM.

    This encompasses all outcomes between winning the league [nope] and sacking the manager after 20 games if they are 6th or whatever and have lost 3 games in a row [more likely].

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

    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.

    I am champing at the bit for next August's prediction thread to predict us for a 16th place finish. We're going to see that gleaming mean of yours and walk into a lamp post.

    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".

    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.

    Just realised Warrington Town got promoted to National League North so will be playable on FM24 without addons.

    Isaac Buckley-Ricketts scored the 90th-minute winning goal in the Northern Premier League play-off final against Bamber Bridge to win 1-0.
    Bet the place went mental!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    It's why I say I hope this isn't it. I hope there's a plan to either get him proper cover or get a right back in.

    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'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.
