They said last year it fucked him up for a good few months. He had a false positive this time around but who knows if he then got positive test again.Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
I’m shocked Lukaku has scored after Chelsea realise crossing it into him and not making him play a target man role works
Tyrone Mings having England caps is baffling. Absolutely miles short at this level.
What level? The level that includes Stones and Maguire? This is where English centre backs are at.
Dier being back in form under Conte presumably sees mings out on his arse in the next squad.
Atkinson has been such a prick to both sides in this game
Maybe he's always a prick.
We have zero ability to manage leads.
Reads a bit like a poem, that
Arsenal v Wolves is off.
The medieval shitlump Konsa should have gone there. Professional foul.
See ya Villa.
Never seen so few people before a game at the Amex.
Double jeopardy rule means he doesn't get sent off. It's crazy though, should be a red in my opinion.
Manchester City and Manchester United, famous havers of bad players.
Nice of Brentford not to turn up like half the stadium.
Potterball suffocating the shit out of Bees. Bloom is sleeping well tonight.
Your boys have been dire Taz. Seem to have come to sit and knock it long. Is Benham in the away end or is it just Bloom who does that?
The latter is forming quite a reputation for it of late, Maguire being her main example.
They're just a Danish Stoke. Sooner we sign Toney and get rid of these cunts the better we'll all be for it.
They have an excellent squad.
I dunno about Maguire. I read he was constantly playing through injuries under Ole. He has been excellent for long periods in the past.
It’s only if he makes a play for the ball you don’t get sent off. He just wiped Lukaku out though without even attempting to go for the ball so no idea why he wasn’t sent off
Brighton winning the xG derby with an xG deficit.
I thought City had giant advertising hoardings (the tallest in the Football League) for a minute there.
Their fans think they're the biggest team in the world.
Isn't crossing quite a big part of using a target man?
I feel like the main job of a target man is to latch on to any hopeful hoof upfield.
Maybe just a bit of pedantry.
We had a similar situation with Charlie Wyke last season - once we realised that lumping aimless balls up to him didn't work, and actually getting the ball wide and whipping crosses in did, he bagged 30.
Yeah, they're two different situations that require specific skills. They might not have the strength to hold play up but they can position themselves nicely for a cross.
I guess but target man I my eyes is playing with your back to goal trying to link the play or knocking it on to others whereas Lukaku is far better on the front foot running in behind or getting across his man.
Lukaku's skill that he openly admits is that if you put him on the half turn against anyone, he'll beat them. That's not a target-man.
Yeah, and that’s not how he’s been getting played whatsoever so I have no idea what you’re on about
I literally agreed with you and you say I have no idea what I'm talking about. As a fellow survivor, leave off the coke mate.
I didn’t say you had no idea what you were talking about bro
...so I have no idea what you’re on about
I didnt quote you. Stop being a dick to everyone you see. It might help.
I assumed you were replying to me but had no idea if you were or not hence the original message. Wasn’t saying you had no idea what you were talking about mate. (That’s a first x)
Do you see, @Kikó? This is what happens when phonics doesn't post about Arsenal.
Yeah, I agree. I reckon the referee knew the game was over and thought it was enough to just give the penalty and then blow up after, game was over.
Konsa and Mings looked like children against Lukaku in that second half, someone needed to take pity on them.
From a somehow about Southampton point of view I want Lukaku and Werner to start banging them in so we can keep Broja for another season.
I'm deeply sorry.
Lukaku is a terrible target man.
People (including top managers) only think Lukaku's a target man because he's big and black, really he's more like Huntelaar or someone.
He's even said as much himself.
Target man or not he's garbage.
Yeah, shite. The 325 career goals were all mishit passes that caught the keeper off guard.
Boxing day was yesterday, Jim. Get off the ropes.
We’ve garbage Romelu Lukaku and waff yesterday describing Pulisic as “non league level”. Definitely deep into the FIFA/YouTube age now.
Not everything is to be taken so literal, mate. He is absolutely useless up front but I’m not sure it’s really his fault, he’s just not a striker/‘false 9’
Everything these days is either best ever or worst ever.
He's been a goal a game for Belgium since 2016 IIRC.
He's obviously good, but he isn't going to make Chelsea (or Belgium) the team they want to be. It was the same at United. Mourinhoball depends on a clinical/big game striker to turn negative shit performances into 'classic Jose Mourinho'material, and he is neither.
He's obviously brilliant. I'm struggling to name more than 5 strikers who you'd rather have.
Not as brilliant, however, as Trossard's goal last night.
Lewandowski, Haaland, Kane, Ronaldo, Mbappe, Benzema...
I would take any of the Liverpool three if you are stretching it out to forwards. For the old flogs Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani, Sergio Aguero as of the other month.
Ebosele has got to be in our next squad.
