Makes sense now that aluko came off so early. Saving him for this weekend you’d think

I think we will have the best 1st half of the season but only score 1, everyone will be happy for once then we will concede almost immediately after the restart and then again. We will spend 20 mins forgetting how to create anything. Then will end the game looking dominant but after the whistle will wonder how we didn’t create any chances to equalize. We will have to watch on as savage fist pumps every stand. standard Martin performance and result . and to flush this prediction further… post game I think we would have reached the stage where Martin will chose someone to throw under the bus. Probably someone who just came off the bench… any sort of deflection from the reasons why we didn’t win. I might go with bristic or Howell but the deflection is coming

Genuine question though who is our defence? Last time out faes started so it’s anyone’s guess who the cbs would be

Howell will be good in 3 years. But he’s not going to be good for us this season

glad the world can all go back to unanimously hating Argentina

To be fair, the conversations around vardy were about if he would be able to score goals at the level. His overall game was still okay. I remember saying to a friend (non fan ) that he would win you a lot of corners but didn’t have the finish. Bristic is struggling with the overall gameplay, so I’m not sure if it’s as simple as thinking with time he’ll improve. I’m not writing him off but I think that part of the game won’t suddenly improve because it’s more fundamentals. If he was busy but missing chances… I’d have far more reason to believe he could cut it with some confidence

Genuine question but do we actually have a defensive coach?

Genuinely have had thoughts that vardys last game as a player for us, should have been my last game as a fan I wish it would be as easy as just retiring as a fan and switching off those emotions.

Didn’t pep famously say he doesn’t work on defending?

I think a big take away is “you’ve been shit since then” not “we’ve” it might seem small, but psychologically he’s distancing himself from a project. If you start a new job and buy into the project, you instantly say we. It might seem pedantic but I actually think it’s telling to how he sees this and where it’s going. That engagement was a chance to honestly give fair criticism and it was a nonsense, a simple call back to the 135 shots, is that the chances we let the opposition have are always fair easier. That’s the problem with Martin he cares about the shots we have not how bloody easy he is to score against. well done for the shots counter but clubs get an easy 2/3 goals a game… its not good enough. You can build a beautiful house but if the plumbing and electrics are shit, you’re not going to sit in it happy. And the first thing people will tell you when they come over is that there’s an unflushed rolly Polly

Ryan Bertrand was instrumental in the community shield

Any gk jj. Kanga. Ohara. McFarlane Lundstrum Page. Smallbone Cullen. Alves Riis its this for me. Give Sammy a break, we need something a little fresh.

He’s a winger version of Luke Thomas

They just signed a player clearly asked by Martin on big money a few days ago. There’s absolutely no chance he’s even slightly in danger

Wanted to give him the benefit that he could improve things with a little more time but that was just more of what we’ve seen, it would be the same outcome in a league game. he simply won’t fix anything here

Pulled off a couple of beauty’s tonight tbf

Can’t even build up momentum in this. Disgusting tbqh

That’s wanya

Who knew @ClaphamFox was Dakas handle the narcolepsy might explain how he missed some of those chances

I don’t think our owners have money to fund anything close to that. We had the opportunity to use many legal loopholes if they actually wanted to inject money (women’s team etc). BC game are doing their own shady nonsense but I doubt it’s being bankrolled by us

Pretty good odds on this, considering our reserves should be far better than anyone else’s at this level.

Do we just do the same team but Smallbone in for BDCR?

It’s the only way to do it that doesn’t negatively affect other clubs. everyone in the prem keeps revenue from having them around, no missing games etc they are handicapped enough that naturally big players won’t want to go there , yet there’s still the incentive for them to try, so the sporting merit isn’t completely pointless in games (like sheff wed last season ) then the people in lower leagues aren’t suddenly losing a spot for promotion as they clearly bounce straight up: then simply the length of punishment makes real lasting impact and undoes a lot of what the cheating caused. It’s the only type of punishment that makes sense to me problem is; the league will buckle and it will end up 10 points a season or something. It needs to be enough that champions league is more or less impossible

How do the rules on selection work if our last game was also this competition? Do the rules from the last league fixture still apply? or now do we just have to select people that played in the last efl trophy game?

Wouldn’t be surprised if we have to pay more of his contract off if he doesn’t find a club… similar to how the manager lay offs work. We’re probably funding this early retirement
