Fear Of The Fox

I know a couple of Palace fans and they're both decent fans (they also rate us high). It depends on the ambition each establishment has. It seems our club by nature is more adventurous. Palace rely too much on safe moves for consistency and it's working for them so far. Everton is just a badly run club with toxicity from top to bottom.

25 goals already in 5 games...

The numbers for the next Euromillions please. Pm me. Thank you.

Most of the managers don't have a clue how to make proper subs without ruining the rhythm of their team and inviting pressure. Spurs were holding well until Ange started making stupid subs.

Too bad it can only be one of Forest/Everton going down unless Burnley suddenly start winning games or both of them have a points deduction decision (I think the decision will be in 2 weeks time).

The unwritten rule of football says that Bristol City will equalise with a shot deflection on 93min. It always happens against us though..

Their aim is to have thousands of "Taylor Swifts" and "influencers" attending the games in a few years time.

Klopp made 4 subs in 1 minute and he messed up his team's stability and chemistry.

Chelsea's lucky this is just 3-0. It should be 11-0 instead.

Is there a scientific research/explanation regarding the huge amount of injuries of the last 10 years or so? I think the numbers compared to early 00s and 80s/90s are shocking. Is it the pace of the modern game? It can't be down to increased physicality in terms of tackles etc because the sport looks way softer to me compared to previous decades.

Nailed it. In any other European league (especially Spain/Italy/Greece) BR would have been forced to resign or get the sack under the fans pressure. The majority of us were watching the ship sink but the stadium was a church service where BR was showing live his "sins" and almost everyone was accepting it. On the other hand, this season under Enzo there were many times our midfielders had acres of space to make runs forward or at least bring the ball quicker forward but they choose to backpass or sidepass instead. Why is this happening: Either they're following Enzo's instructions or they lack the quality to be more creative and aggressive pushing forward. Or it's the latter, Enzo knows about that, he doesn't have full confidence in them and prefers to play it safe as he knows the opposition won't be able to gegenpress. It seems we'll get promoted but we need a proper overhaul in certain positions. Enzo knows that, can the board meet the manager's expectations? This is the crucial question.

What makes you think we'll field a strong team against a PL team to test our tactics in full strength? We'll probably field Cover, Uncover and Support. Maidstone please either home/away or the easiest draw possible to reach the final eventually.

Barca 😀😀😀

All the criticism done here was legit/valid mate.

Praet is out of his natural position trying to hold the midfield on his own because Hamza decided he's a cricket player instead of a proper footballer.

What do you expect Praet to do? Praet is still a good player when he has proper support. Fielding a random first XI will never work. What's the point? Is Cover growing confidence from this shambles? I'm more creative in the kitchen than Hamza.

I disagree but I think this argument is endless. I think we should take seriously every single game by playing our best XI. These players earn thousands per day, I'm sure they can handle some extra games.

I'm very disappointed we're not taking this glorious historical FA Cup tradition seriously. Yes, I understand we have a lot of important games coming up.

I've just watched the video of Klopp announcing his decision, I had only watched the news until now. I hope I'm wrong but there's something wrong here. First of all, he looks absolutely drained. He looks like he was forced to run from London to Liverpool and sit down for an interview? Then it's his body language, he's very nervous, the nervous style when you're hiding something. I hope it's just me being paranoid and the guy is alright though. Maybe he's really really tired and he needs a break. I don't like his antics and behaviour on the sideline but I would definitely have a (Bavarian) pint (2 litres) with him and probably it would be fun also.

Mid to end of 90s, started ofc very young in the mid 80s, age of 7-8 I was already a very good shooter. Really great times of the sport both in Europe (especially southeast where I played) and USA when knowledge of the fundamentals of the sport was respected. I still watch almost every night NBA games but it's really shocking that all these players are allowed to do sometimes even 5 or 6 steps. It's one of the reasons nobody can defend and we see very high scoring games.

Love your optimism. They'll mention Wolves just at the final whistle.

I'm certain there's something else going on behind the scenes. The "ran out of energy" statement is strange. There might be some serious health problems behind his decision which he doesn't want right now to bring up in public.

Liverpool will try to get Michel from Girona.

They need to bring back the strict rules of the 80s and 90s regarding travelling, carrying and double dribbling. It's ridiculous now. Almost every single player is travelling and carrying the ball and ofc the players can't defend when you give such powers to the offense. I've played professionally and back then we had the fundamentals of foot planting strictly officiated. With the current rules I could have been playing in the NBA scoring left and right. Add to all the above the excessive amount of flopping and you have a complete picture of how the sport is going the wrong way now. I don't mind the modern style focused on 3 pointers because I was doing the same but it's shocking to see these efficient step backs which create space for shooting. When I was playing we weren't allowed to do these step backs and they were called travelling right away by the refs.
