Ain't got the legs for the Premier League.

Buo and Vardy should do better there.

I know that. I was asking the question of Larry who decided to bemoan JJs defending when he's presumably not even watching.

What did JJ do?

No. Now I know there's fog but it ain't that bad!

Well. Ok then.

Yeah, he's much higher up the pitch with Coady coming over. Is that a worry?

Should imagine it's a bit clearer at ground level than the cameras. When the ball goes top left corner though, Christ, it's like watching static.

JJ is having a decent spell. Good through ball for Vardy there and was in the box earlier for an attack too aside from the goal.

1-0 OG methinks. Ok, JJ, well done lad.

To be fair using a fog machine was probably more stupid than the fireworks. Bloody stupid club. Ramble ramble...

Coady fails at playing out...

No problem with that lineup at all. This game was an opportunity to do one of two things. One, put out a bunch of squad and youth players and see if anybody excels enough to warrant a place in the regular side. Or two, put out a full strength side having had time to work in training on the system and expectations against weaker opposition as a warm up ahead of a very important game against Palace. Potential downsides today are obviously not getting a result means morale stays low, at least among the fan base, and of course the risk of injuries given we're putting out key players. But injuries can happen walking the dog. Upsides are obvious.

Furry muff.

Yes but you can only register 2 at a time. So given we'll definitely be using one for Buo, that leaves one spot at best.

You can't just have endless loans, we're not in the championship anymore.

It was him and HoneyBradger in the Fotis thread. Rik was also on about one of his two brothers. The midfielder. Let's just sign the lot. Happy families.

In one of our other threads isn't he? Is he on a players you want in Jan or a Obscure players one? We're loving Italy aren't we?

Moyes is probably the safest bet they could have made. He's still generally good at keeping a defence organised, though he had a horrid spell at West Ham for conceding goals at one point. Hopefully that becomes a trend.

Well he'd have missed the punch, so all good.

A high level then...

The goalkeeper actually fxxks that up. He could just catch it but punches it up onto the underside of the bar. Bad slice from Woyo no doubt, but the keeper makes a right mess of it.

Edit... Below.

Ok guys, I've just watched all the Parma Serie A highlights of this season and I'm telling you now this guy looks fxxking useless defensively. Holy shit he looks bad. I'm really hoping that he's either going to be a wingback type or we somehow manage to get some defensive nous into him because he looks like a French JJ tbh with the awareness, ball watching and tracking ability of 2023 Soumare. He's number 26. Highlights below are only around 2-3 minutes a piece so doesn't take long to have a gander. Hopefully he's better in the non highlight part of the game, which'd make sense tbf.

Straight red for a studs on ankle challenge. 1 minute in. First highlight is him getting to the line to put in a ball that should really be converted.
