Fear Of The Fox

This is one of the hunderds reasons they'll lose both games vs Fulham and Bournemouth. This team is rotten from top to bottom. Everybody knew they'll turn up vs Man City and everybody knows what's coming up the next couple of weeks.

Watkins already has better movement and involvement than Kane and ofc a goal.

I reckon it's going to be a good game. Sold out a week ago, it's going to feel like a tournament final for the Greeks and they have finally some quality players playing all over Europe for clubs in big leagues. Imo this would have been a great challenge for a Tuchel debut because it's going to have the intensity of a serious tournament game. FA again has a different approach unless Tuchel requested in his contract to start later. Which might be a good move as this is a dangerous game for a debut.

What's your definition of competitive friendlies? The same 5 nations playing against each other with the odd visit by Argentina, Brazil and maybe South Korea or Japan? So the same primadonnas would rather play a friendly against a top team risking an injury because of the higher intensity of the game? How many times have England invited Greece for a friendly in 80 years? Zero. Greek fans of football were eager to see all these world class players, there's a sold out there for weeks now and we're sending a B-Team or whatever. Imo this is unacceptable and disrespectful no matter the importance of the game and tournament.

Fair play to Kane. He's absolutely right this time. If these players don't want to play for the national team they need to withdraw themselves permanently. Nations League is like the clubs European Conference League, why do they participate in that one then? This massive withdrawal must be investigated because it's obvious the relevant clubs have initiated it. That said, a 7-0 tomorrow for Greece will be a suitable result. Come on Greece.

Ndidi is a DMF on a 4-1-3-2, end of. He can't be anything else, you can't have him running up and down and knacker him in 30mins. He's a low block DMF, his best stats came into this position.

Sorry but we have more threads for a potential new manager. Nothing has changed. All the free managers are there unless someone wants to post a new manager from Iceland, Vietnam, Alaska or South Korea.

It's really shocking how some fans have the basic football intelligence to spot these things but someone who is earning millions makes the same mistakes over and over again. I'm seriously now questioning if Cooper has a football manager diploma, which level is it and if he has one it should be published now so we can check it.

And this was exactly my point.

Please mods lock/delete the thread. Some of us are already in a bad mood, are you all trying to get us banned?

The majority of the players are okay-ish for PL. It's down to management and tactics.Unless you think Ipswich is a top quality PL team that can go away to Spurs and batter them.

Get Conceicao in and allow him to do whatever he wants. He will sort out in a week all the rubbish including some players and staff. It's time for a fiery manager who is active everywhere. Hey Cooper, if you have any dignity left just resign tonight. But you won't resign, you're just here for the money like a politician, an elitist fraud.

Spurs prove me right once again. A nothing team that shouldn't even exist. An absolute ZERO in footballing world. Oh, I forgot. Cooper out NOW.

Almost every starting back 4 in PL teams has a howler in them tbf. The issue is the midfield and the tactics.

Shocking. Imo we shouldn't even be allowed to criticise this LEGEND. Really sad.

Cooper is a genius. He's resting Vardy for the international break.

Who said Vardy is offering nothing??

Exactly. It looks absolutely fine after my 5th pint of the day.

Ayew hat trick. 7-3.

I have a feeling all 4 games will end up in draw.

It's not only the teams, the quality of football s horrendous. There's a big chance only one of the late games today has more goals and drama than these 4 currently.

This must be the worst set of 3pm fixtures since 1992. It's like a Football Manager save in 2145.

Atletico has scored the most 90+ min goals in the whole galaxy for years now. This is down to Simeone you like him or not.

True, here the PL has a different rule for handballs, a bit more fair for the defenders. The majority of european leagues though award a penalty for almost every handball inside the box which is ruining the sport. Below are some of the leagues awarding a pen for almost every handball: Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Poland. Germany and especially France have a more "relaxed" rule.

Which was ridiculous. The rule is a farce, what on earth is the defender supposed to do there? It isn't a shot towards the goal, it's not a clear scoring opportunity, the defender doesn't stop deliberately the ball with his hand, it's like a 20cm distance between him and the attacker.
