Shit selection too

FFS. How can we all see it and yet a frigging Dutch international not.

That was a Rodgers tactic...

Bring back Coops.

No way - disagree. Footballers of course are much fitter and conditioned than even 20 years ago, but there have been changes in boots, balls, pitches etc too so I'd never make direct comparisons there. In professional rugby union, almost a different sport I'd agree, as players are complete freaks nowadays. Tennis again I'd agree with you with developments rackets, footwear etc. But boxing is two people face to face. Ali, Frazier etc would train and condition for months. Just look at the brutal battles they had, 15 rounds in searing temperatures. Neither Usyk nor Fury has the skill of Ali, or indeed power in the case of say Frazier, Foreman or Tyson, hence my comment. So comparisons are easier with boxing in my opinion than many other sports.

Not in boxing for me.

Great fight. Neither of these guys would however would get close to peak Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Tyson or Lewis.

Right result, it was bit closer than that. I'd 6 3 for Usyk with 3 drawn.

Good day for us. Need to take advantage tomorrow then push on.

Geordies got their 1 already then.

What I say to myself every morning...

So Martin was too adventurous, Cooper too cautious.... Bottom line is both clubs have championship quality squads in reality. Ditto Ipswich. The table doesn't lie. RvN will need to perform a miracle and needs a good January window, which is a real challenge.

Looks like it. Maybe Everton too.

8 nil will do. 😁

God, these Manc derbies are boring affairs mostly.

Fully agree.

Who said we are better than Palace or they are as bad as us?

Spot on

I think we move on. He moved on and sadly it does not look like it will work out for him. But am not convinced he can do the job at PL level we need. For the money we'd need to spend, hopefully better options. Good luck to the guy though.

It works as we saw with Huth and Morgan if you have a defensive midfielder who can wipe out everything in front like Kante did. Morgan I believe actually wasn't that slow though?

Please correct me if you think I'm wrong. But don't those two sentences contradict each other.

They've been pushing for that tbf

Keepers less likely to get injured than outfield players

Better to keep him this season. He's worth more than a couple of mediocre defenders at overinflated prices in January.

Absolutely this. 100%.
