  1. Did I say Sunday? I actually knew it was Saturday, probably just so used to writing "Sunday" whenever I'm looking ahead to games. Agree with all that on Quansah, good to hear Slot saying he's just unlucky at the moment, especially as Ibou did basically the same thing in Leipzig and not only got away with it but ended up with MOTM.
  2. You say that, but me you and Brownie together are an unstoppable force. On the pitch or on the pod, doesn't matter. Best trio since Salah, Firmino and Mané. Or Firmino, Mané and whoever you'd pick over Salah because you hate him.
  3. Good post that mate, lots of excellent points.
  4. Usually in that situation a midfielder or forward comes off and you go with the extra defender. I don't like that, but that's what we would normally see. It's a bit unusual to just swap your centre half like that at that stage.
  5. I've revised my take on the Quansah thing, and not just because I don't want to be on the same side of the fence as Johnny. I don't actually think the change was anything to do with Quansah's performance and it was just a case of wanting to get Konate on to help deal with the threat of Mitroma. That said, the optic of it aren't good as people will assume its because of the two goals, which I no longer thing it was.
  6. The intention is usually an hour for midweek cup/CL group games and an hour and a half for weekend league games. It doesn't always work out that way, but that's the plan when we start recording.
  7. I always want to let the match report breathe for at least 24 hours. The only time I tend to do it straight away is if when we've been really bad and I need to just get it all off my chest while I'm feeling it. Writing it before I've seen the highlights, interviews and had time to process it all is not the way to do it. I've been doing this a long time, I know what works! Get back to the other thread where you're dismantling Vinicius Jr, you're in over your head in this one!
  8. If we make loads of changes and lose, that's fine, I'll take that on the chin as we're without five players which seriously affects our ability to field a strong second eleven. A changed line up makes it a very tough game. If we put close to our best team out though we should batter them unless they drastically change the way they've been defending. Watch the first half when they played Chelsea, it's incredible. Not sure I've ever seen a team defend that stupidly. Actually no, Spurs against Chelsea last season when they had nine men was worse, but this was second. Can't embed this, but look how bad it is. And it wasn't a one off, they've been like that most times I've seen them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd4iRFcRsZE Edit: They've not even shown half of the chances they had. I'm going off what I saw on MOTD that weekend.
  9. No. I have a small Red Bull every day (original flavour only, and none of that sugar free shit), and I'll have the occasional raspberry Lucozade Sport, but never tried Carabao as I imagine it's like Monster - utter filth.
  10. Vinicius Jr had only two more goal involvements in the league last season than Darwin.
  11. So much wrong with that. Kiwior gets up so early that it stops Dom from jumping. Nothing cowardly about it, although it's 50/50 as to whether you get that call or not. One thing is certain. Dom has no chance of winning that header from a standing jump against a big defender who has a run at it. Are we then just ignoring the Havertz handball (foul) while his arm in the face of Konate (foul) and then him just bundling Trent into the goal as he's about to clear the danger (clearest foul of the entire game)? Genuinely awful assessment of the situation. And that's before we even mention that the whistle went straight away so everything after that was moot anyway.
  12. He does it with style and always shows his workings out, that's why he gets a pass. He's absolutely bossing this thread, keep up the great work Frode.
