Probably going to be shit but I can't help but be really excited for it.

I’m only a couple hours away from Columbia but the prices I'm seeing right now are all $500+ per ticket. There's no way I'm paying that for a preseason game where half the squad will probably not even be there.

Front 3 have been actually creating and scoring the past couple of games (relative to the rest of this season) so when a striker gets injured instead of just doing a straight swap and keeping the others in the position they've been playing well in he decides to move every single player in the...

Rushed back, clearly not fit, now possibly out for the season. I get that Shaw does have injury problems but we're basically asking for him to get hurt playing him like this and it's been like this for the past couple of months. He gets injured, we rush him back and play him every minute of...

At the time I assumed we did it to make room for a different loan. Not really sure what the reasoning was now that that obviously didn't materialize.

Is Shaw injury prone? Obviously. But, I think the bigger issue is that we have no backup for him. It seems like a lot of his injuries this season are a result of him being rushed back, forced to play several full games in a row, and then getting hurt again. I don't see how it's a surprise he got...

I still had hope for him up until today. What in the world was that Mainoo for Mctominay sub. Who knows if it actually made a difference but it's certainly not a good look that both goals came from cutbacks to the middle where Mainoo should have been meanwhile Mctominay is just jogging about...

I don't either. And even if I did he seems to have a pretty horrible injury record.

I suppose I can maybe slightly understand the idea that ETH shouldn't have said what he said (though I do think it was fine to say), but Sancho's reaction to it is still 99% of the problem. It's the reaction of a little kid. ETH was doing all he could to sell Mctominay and Maguire all summer and...

Put an 18 year old on his 9th game in the midfield by himself and then act surprised when he makes a mistake. Not sure what ETH expects. Thought he was good throughout but it's obvious this setup doesn't do anyone any favors. No matter who you put in that spot they're going to get exposed.

I think Bruno is looking worse right now because we're basically letting Mctominay play further forward so Bruno has to sit a little. We're basically sacrificing him for Mctominay goals and it's making the team pretty horrible at attacking.

Went to the right one time and beat TAA or whoever it was with ease, immediately had to pull it back to his left foot instead of crossing with his right and then lost the ball. Sums him up. The defensive work is useful but this is the stuff we used to make fun of Liverpool and Kuyt about. What...

Honestly thought he did mostly okay. He did seem to let Liverpool get away with a bit more but he let us both play. That Dalot red is insane though under any circumstances, let alone when you've got Nunez doing the exact same and getting away with it.

This. He does a lot of things very well but he's just absolutely useless offensively, which is a pretty big problem for a winger. He's very good in tight spaces, good with quick passing, great work rate and pressing. I wonder if he'd be any use more centrally? I've basically given up on him as...

It's a nice idea in theory except it doesn't really seem to actually work or make us any better but for some reason ETH keeps persisting.
