Fear Of The Fox

Why is it harsh? Stats don't lie. He lost 6 duels, 2 times he was caught looking.

I believe some of our players either hate football or have 0 IQ. Or both. Is Skipp serious? Why doesn't he quit the sport to become a barman or something? How many times we'll attempt this ridiculous slow lob cross to nowhere?

Reinstalled FIFA 17 on PC for the usual football fix (I always have FIFA 16 and PES 2021 fully modded installed). I come back to FIFA 17 from time to time because it's a difficult game. The player inertia and physics are great. Shots outside the box are a joy. Defense is top, there are random encounters and fouls. How these clowns at EA managed to ruin this game afterwards is unbelievable.

Didn't know Bromley had a NFL head coach as manager...

Whole situation doesn't make any sense. If you put any 15-16yr old in his position he'll at least try to do something. He'll commit fouls, fight, run, tackle. He might fail eventually but he won't be a traffic cone. Tbf it's not Soumare's fault, other people inside the club believe he's a footballer. It's like NASA employing me to run their space program. What could possibly go wrong I wonder...

This is shocking. In fact we were playing with 10 men.

I'm sure some of our players have zero (0) IQ. If you ask Skipp or Soumare to harvest tomatoes they'll come back with cucumbers. .

Nope. Did you really expect Sheff Wed to roll over? Just give our team a chance. 9mins in and complaining already?

Maddison lacks the vision of Wirtz and he's afraid to get more involved, maybe because his injury prone as you said. I know KDH is a different type of player but I'm talking about the ability to move the ball quickly. Wirtz knows how to shake the opposition defense with simple moves.

He's class. Liverpool is just on another level attack wise. They're pretty average at the back (their CBs are way too slow).

Maddison (and KDH maybe) should study how Wirtz is moving and creating space. Effortlessly with simple moves and vision. It's not rocket science what he's doing.

Yes but I want to see the same and more when it matters.

Faes is still getting called up for international duty. I also don't think he's a good CB but he's alright at this level I guess.

18M is crazy money for Mads. He's good but sorry this amount is absolutely ridiculous. I don't care though. GKs are easier to replace. Ward is gone so can't be that bad.

What I want to see today is direct forward football. I don't want to see nonsense back passing and safe side passing. 1-2 touches and move the bloody ball forward. Make mistakes while doing that, I don't care, it's not PL, the punishment ratio is low in Championship. And this was my pre match speech. Thank you.

We should wait months not weeks. Our midfield is thin and soft, we don't have a striker and it seems unlikely Mavi and Fatawu will carry us by scoring 20 goals each and in addition we don't have a clue about the points deduction. I'm optimistic but when I see non footballers like Soumare I'm going straight back to earth.

This must be some kind of genius sarcastic post, right?

Time will tell. Fact is though matchday 1 had a lot of very low quality football games. Still early but in comparison last season matchday 1 had in total 40 goals. We're now in 23.goals with our game only left to be played. I know there are always matchdays with low scoring games everywhere but l can't overlook the fact most of the games were a bit on the scrappy side.

Alright, everyone here knows I'm a fan of Still for many years now, Southampton weren't good but for sure it wasn't pedestrian football. You're exaggerating a bit.

Should we have again the same discussions as 2 seasons ago? If we're good enough we'll just cruise the league. I'm not gonna get bothered praying for other teams to drop points.

Coady and Ward masterclass as expected. It just takes 4mins for both of them to ruin everything.

I'm surprised they didn't show a stats overlay like this: Danny Ward, 1st goal conceded in Championship this season.

Never in doubt. Ward was lucky so far almost every single shot went into the middle of his goal.

It's not his fault that 90% of CBs in the Championship are brain dead. The build up of Southampton when attacking is good and quite direct going forward.

Nope. He'll achieve the promotion this season and go to Spurs, Arsenal or Man Utd. Or even Everton/Newcastle.
