  1. Bruno Fernandes | 2023/24 Performances

    He should be applauded. A mess of a structure, a terrible coach, a horrendous tactical formation that makes everyone look worse, woeful recruitment, and he is still out there fighting and giving his all. He is a fantastic professional and the complete antithesis of what Rashford has done under...
  2. Rasmus Højlund | 2023/24 Performances

    We need better wide attackers or we will never see the best of any striker here. The boy is capable of a 25 goal season but the team gives him absolutely nothing Rashford and Antony need to leave and Garnacho and Amad need to be backups to two proper wide forwards.
  3. The shocking decline of Trent Alexander Arnold

    He will always get off with it because the media can’t stop blowing smoke in the arse of these young players. We had Gary Neville, a far more complete and well rounded full back, on his knees telling him that he couldn’t even begin to understand what he does. Basic defending would be a good start.
  4. Emiliano Sala: Rest In Peace

    I always get a twinge of sadness every time I see this thread bumped. He knew it didn’t look safe and he trusted those around him to look after his welfare. It’s just really sad.
  5. The Rise Of Ruben Amorim

    Honestly, you would have said the same at the time Klopp joined Liverpool. There were far better options on the table with far more resources. He wanted to be an underdog and he wanted to mould something himself. He ended up winning them their first ever Premier League and will be remembered...
  6. The Rise Of Ruben Amorim

    I don’t know about this. He is very young and if the finances are equal, he has a lot more time to get things right with a very promising west ham squad. The chance to do something special with them and the extra time he would be given could appeal much more than following Klopp at an...
  7. Weird feelings of football

    Luton have valiantly battled all season long and picked up enough points that they deserve to be safe. Burnley have shit the bed and get smashed every week and were relegated back in December. 2 points in it.
  8. Klopp to leave Liverpool at the end of the season

    Mayhe you are right but I think the former midfield was much better at its peak and much more functional than the current one. van Dijk, Endo (the ever present this season) and Salah are all 31+ and I don’t think the likes of Gakpo and Darwin will ever be good enough for Liverpool. He built...
  9. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    An arm around him from the captain wouldn’t have been a bad thing. Just t say well done that he had kept his nerve.
  10. Klopp to leave Liverpool at the end of the season

    Rivalry adds spice, of course it does, but this United team are so easy to play through. I mean, 7-0 is a recent result. As much as I hate using the word, it was bottled right there. It’s been a very poor end to his tenure and I think he is leaving behind a first team, that is poorer almost...
  11. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    There is something wrong with squad mentality too. The posture is all wrong and Hojlund was celebrating alone at the end. There are definitely some bad eggs that need to be weeded out. We need better leadership for sure and players who can set a new tone in the dressing room.
  12. Rasmus Højlund | 2023/24 Performances

    He is getting absolutely nothing from either flank. I thought it summed up the squad when he was celebrating alone after the penalty with only Eriksen sauntering over. It was a moment to use to build his confidence and congratulate him and…nothing. Just a horrible squad mentality.
  13. Klopp to leave Liverpool at the end of the season

    I don’t think they will beat Everton in their next game. City won’t concede control now. The fact is, at crunch time this season, he lost and drew with a United side that could barely beat Coventry, got decimated at home to an average Atalanta side and then lost at home to Palace. They still...
  14. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Erikaen in midfield is too lightweight and easy to play through. It’s a poor change, for me, and it’s not like we don’t have other examples of his changes adversely affecting games.
  15. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    He conceded possession and control to a team with nothing to lose and took off his best attacking outlet, keeping on players who weren’t contributing. He also had ample chance to bring in his own leaders to the squad, and instead, wasted it on players who haven’t contributed. He has been a...
