Quite agree with pretty much all these changes, but could well be made to look a muppet shortly.

Yeah I agree. It doesn't work if we have an interest in proactively attacking.

 

The problem is that we attack by keeping possession and building something. That's Rodgers whole MO. 

 

Wing backs is just an awful system for retaining possession. You need to stretch the pitch, make it wider, have a balanced shape that uses up the space on the field to properly move it around. To both keep the ball and move it up the park. 

 

It just doesn't work with wingbacks.

Barnes is going to be key here, needs to get at them with his pace.

Big Wes taking names

12 months ago commentators would say "Ahh bless, they are giving the young lad a chance".

 

Now it's "Look at the high  quality they have on the bench with Harvey Barnes".

 

I love that.

 

[Beechey]

"how many times can we say 'Harvey Barnes' in 2 minutes?"

[CloudFox]

Hm. Barnes and Kelechi building a nice little partnership I see.

I was at that game Red Star at home. It was so foggy half the crowd didn't know we'd conceded from a free kick 

 

Flowers didn't even see it apparently. 

I remember when we equalised, the maddest  celebrations that I witnessed at filbert street, the good old crazy corner loved it

[Brooksy]

Yellow card

[Countryfox]

Karate chop to the face from Thomas ...   

 

Or did he barely touch his nose ...   fvckin cheating ...   I fvckin hate it !!!!

[Finnegan]

****ing what. 

 

Absolutely get the **** out. Retrospectively ban him for life. 

 

That goes strongly in my category of "the punishment for faking an injury to get someone red carded should be Wasyl giving you that actual injury." You want to have your eye poked out, here's s an angry 200lb Pole to help you with that.

Anyone watching on CBS All Access who can tell me who's commentating?  I know the voice, but I do not know the man's name.

Worst booking decision i’ve seen in my life and there are plenty of contenders.
