  1. Can't see Potter turn it down...if he did it would really signify what a shit-show it is. Tuchel has to take a lot of blame also...never a fan of some of those players, particularly Lukaku/Werner, but to be as dreadful as they were takes some doing.
  2. Not sure how those appointments would translate into Liverpool scraping top 4....especially after 6 games and just 6 points off top of table. If Ancelotti or Conte took job perhaps something, but failing to win the PL or worse not get to top 4 will be down to Liverpool alone and definitely not likes of those two being appointed at Chelsea. I think Chelsea are a laughing stock! Long may it continue.
  3. Yep, it's a real positive actually, given the performances, I would say the only highlights so far from players have been the ones we may not have expected much from, i.e. Elliot, Firmino, Carvalho (from bench) and maybe Gomez. Think Diaz has been decent also but does seem to drift out of games. Majority can surely only get better... I wouldn't be resting Trent, I'd be sending him out to find his form...
  4. He will be judged on scoring goals, not on technique. So far he seems to have frightened the life out of defenders as runs in behind, always in the box so if they hit him in the arse and fly in that will all do. Some of the best strikers weren't always the best technically, Rush and Lineker for a decade spring to mind, not saying they weren't bad technically, but they did what paid to do! Not bothered with antics, sending off not ideal, but passion is there...he will learn and I'm hoping he will become a really annoying prick on the pitch, we are too nice some times! 85m, with the value for money we got from Keita at over 50m I no longer care!
  5. Forget finding places on the team or not fitting in...we have 9 potential first team players under the knife, majority of them before the fcking season even started...thats the real worry. "Things could get a lot worse" said Adrian to Nat Phillips as they lined up with their defensive partner Rhys Williams returned from loan at Blackpool to mark a certain Erling Haaland in 6 weeks time at Anfield.
  6. He gets around the park, closes down etc, bit like Gini, seems to have a bit of an engine on him and hopefully can stay fit,...just keep him away from Keita or he will catch that disease. I'm assuming nothing is happening with the melodrama that is Naby Keita!
  7. All reminds me of the hype on Jordan Sancho at the time...all those goals/assist at Dortmund...I get that Bellingham may be good, but this box to box Gerrard/De Bruyne clone...head scratcher for me.
  8. The majority of those flakey fuckers fell away last year when they came up against Spurs and the same with Newcastle and mini Pep thinks he's the fucking man. They have got a sack load of cash, no injuries and had the easiest set of starting fixtures you could imagine....not to mention the fine weather!! I watched that Palace match and while Zinchenko might come across as a nice footballer, he got destroyed by Jordan Ayew and spent entire time chasing him. He had the luxury of that City team to look as good as he did (when playing). Jesus, a decent player, but they had a better one in Aubamayeng and he folded on them also. Time will tell. So nope I'm not buying into this Arsenal are on the way tripe after 3 games, as for Partey, Keita has been more successful. Some nice players, but that manager in particular is a fraud (not to mention the goalkeeper) after what he allowed to happen last year. Milky bar kids!
  9. Cant argue with much of that, good write up. First 30-40 seconds of 2nd half I think Fernandez gave the ball away 3 if not 4 times...each time in a dangerous position and we proceeded to hand it back in a whimper...regardless of performances, average passing would have opened them up but it was way beyond that..dreadful football. The idea that United will go from strength to strength is laughable...how any of the previous stooges didn't think of dropping Maguire is beyond me...that was a pathetic effort, VVD number one candidate...will they learn from it, next two games will deffo tell a lot I guess.
  10. Yep, they have been signing these milky bar kids for years now! Won't be long before Saka and Martinelli begin to question their future..idea that these guys are going to hang around under lego head as be builds an empire is laughable. Every team in league knows that if you pop a challenge in on a few of them they will melt.... This fcking Arteta got away with murder last year, best chance in years to make top 4
  11. Posted above, cant take the credit, spot on
  12. He's an old man clamouring for attention...As mentioned above - have to say Mick Lynch on Newsnight last night was hilarious, that sycophant Chris Philps was blathering on and every time Mick picked him up and called him a liar...spot on, call as sees it. Philps seemed surprised that someone would second guess his 'mistruths'...lying sack of shit.
  13. Can you jump back on Twitter please... If you think people are judging him because of one awful shot...oh ffs, I will just stop there...
  14. Trent had more bad passes in that game than he had in the previous 10. He normally has a couple that are off, but given the quality of the rest, it's a welcome risk. Haven't looked back at game, but deep into 2nd half he got into box, could have picked out 5 attacking Reds (might be including Keita there so stick with 4) but inexplicably passed to a static defender. It's easier live with a Trent balls up because of what he offers all over, Keita on the other hand...
  15. And he's 34 this year i think...going down the Ronaldo route with that one!
  16. Dominic Raab is my fcking MP, so I'm already there!
  17. With any luck he will full of lead before the next election but this be ironic!
  18. The only tragic thing for me would be the untold damage I would do to my liver.
  19. Thats him, thats his mantra....apparently amount of fines skewed towards women, wonder why...
