Vincent Vega

Impressive speech here, delivered in perfect English.

I doubt he'll be fit, he was knocked out cold on Sunday and had to be stretchered off. I'm sure the concussion protocols mean a player can't play again for a week if they're out cold.

Interesting article on fixture congestion from Opta.

Where Forest lead…..

I’d like to see the figures on how many times the refs have been sent to look at the monitor this season. I bet those figures are well down on previous seasons? When was the last time it happened in one of our games? Was it Spurs away when we got shafted with the Curtis Jones red card when they showed a still of his studs hitting the other player’s leg? The lack of being sent to the monitor tells me that they’ve agreed between them not to do it unless absolutely necessary. Every week I watch Match Of The Day and am amazed at the penalties that aren’t given, and no referral to the monitor.

He’s very good at carrying the ball forward, needs to work on his decision making though.

This young Coventry fan says it all about VAR.

The VAR officials need to be completely separate from the PGMOL officials and have their own boss that they are answerable to. This situation of the referees having their mates on VAR is ridiculous and is leading to mates covering each other’s backs. If a VAR official thinks a mistake has been made, they need to speak up and tell the referee “you need to have another look at that”. The very idea that Michael Oliver is arrogant enough to tell his PGMOL colleagues not to send him to the monitor is preposterous. If they are sent to the monitor and don’t change their original decision, that’s fine as long as they feel they can justify it.

That picture is from the cup semifinal they had against us in 2022.

A refresh for you Barry, and to get everyone in the mood.

Alisson was brilliant early on as well, but he's just missed too many games to be in with a shout for our player of the year.

I'd say he's been our player of the year. I think a fair few of us worried that we'd seen the best of him after last season, but he's mostly been back to his best this season and has led the team brilliantly. Anyone calling him out now is surely just venting out of frustration at the team's current form and results.

Klopp referred to Tony in his press conference the other day when he was asked about the flag protest at the Atalanta match. He said in a response to a journalist that he had just heard about it from Tony before the press conference. Barrett must act as a press advisor for Klopp briefing him on what he's likely to be asked about before the press conferences and ensuring he's informed on the latest goings on.
