  • Eriksen played deep most of last season, we just didn’t have a defensive player on the bench. If he felt Mainoo was on the edge of an injury, I’m not sure he could have done much else. I’d still think a midfield of Eriksen and McTominay should be...
  • How is putting on Eriksen conceding possession and control? Isn’t that one of his best qualities. I don’t think the players he took off were playing particularly well. You’re starting a different conversation there. Im not defending his...
  • So we take off a 19 year old kid for a danish international and that causes us to concede 3 goals to a championship team? He’s clearly not taking him off for tactical reasons. I’m bored of even coming across as defending him because I don’t want...
  • He put on Danish and Brazilian international’s against a fecking Championship team, who were two of the most experienced players on our bench. There wasn’t some kind of massive tactical shift from Coventry. They attacked a bit more. You don’t...
  • I don’t really understand how the players aren’t catching any flack compared to the manager. People are vastly overstating how much control a manager has in the middle of a game, especially from a winning position. If you’re losing you can go...
  • Cant see a bunch of kids even knowing who he played for. Im 35 and id probably name 20 Blackburn Rovers players before him.
  • Dan_F replied to the thread Cole Palmer | Chelsea Player.
    Pep’s interview about him asking to leave is so strange. Trying to make out he couldn’t do anything to stop him; maybe play him rather than spending £60 million on Doku, who is absolutely terrible. I guess city fans can’t really get annoyed at...
  • Dan_F replied to the thread Music Commercial Hip Hop Thread.
    https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/nas-illmatic-tour-2024-tickets-b2531651.html Beyond excited for this. My favourite album of all time and probably the only artist out of my favourites I’ve yet to see live.
  • They should do what they did last year for the NFL and have a big screen and food/drink in the car park for people to stay after and watch the match afterwards.
  • Dan_F replied to the thread Fa Cup Replays Scrapped.
    I can see both sides of it, scrapping the replays that is, not the process they’ve used which is obviously pathetic. It definitely gives smaller sides a better chance of going through in a one off game, it seems like the smaller clubs are...
  • Dan_F replied to the thread Martial exit?.
    I agree, but the post I was responding to was talking about performances when fit. I’ve said in multiple threads that a top left back should be higher priority than right back. Shaw can fill in at left centre back for game time; I genuinely think...
  • He’s raw. That’s what happens when you buy 20 year old players. You can get away with it playing as an attacking midfielder or winger; if Garnacho was putting in this level of consistency as a striker, everyone would be moaning too - but that’s...
  • Dan_F replied to the thread Martial exit?.
    Yes. Or it’s because he is actually a very good left back when fit.
  • Dan_F replied to the thread Martial exit?.
    Lads, every player in the world would probably have been better under SAF. This isn’t groundbreaking news. Martial had a tonne of talent and I thought Mourinho was harsh on him at the time, but he was clearly right. It almost pains me to agree...
  • Dan_F replied to the thread Minutes to teenagers….
    Indeed. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing but two of those clubs are going for the title, I wouldn’t expect them to be giving many minutes to teenagers. Hopefully we get some more quality to give Garnacho and Mainoo a rest at times next year...
