Popular Post Matt Posted 26 December 2024 Popular Post Posted 26 December 2024 I struggle to see what everyone expects? This is the reality of it all. I mean yeah, granted Bounanotte's omission is a bit of a strange one but other than that, everyone knows the players we have, the players we have available, what are the other options people expect? It's the same players Cooper had, no matter who came in they weren't going wave a magic ****ing wand even though most on here thought all our problems were because of Cooper. 8

Fox85 Posted 26 December 2024 Posted 26 December 2024 2 minutes ago, Sly said: A few thoughts from me. 1. Every Liverpool sub, starts for us. 2. Buonanotte must be going back to Brighton. 3. Ayew isn’t as diabolical as people make out, however I’m not so sure I’d be starting him. 4. Stolarkzyk might let a few in tonight. 5. This back 4 is obviously his preferred line up. Has the same speed of a today's Wayne Rooney 1
The Quick Brown Fox Posted 26 December 2024 Posted 26 December 2024 The teams he picks, you'd think someone from the club broke his record or something and he wants to punish the fans for it. 1

FosseSpark Posted 26 December 2024 Posted 26 December 2024 i think its the best he can pick. Faes is shit, Vardy is injured, ndidi is injured, clearly doesnt fancy okoli, thomas and now skipp. buonanotte is obvs going back.
Daggers Posted 26 December 2024 Posted 26 December 2024 Thoughts and festive prayers for all of you hoping not to get absolutely reamed.
ClaphamFox Posted 26 December 2024 Posted 26 December 2024 1 minute ago, FosseSpark said: Buonanotte going back in Jan for Ferguson, its clear. So Brighton call us up and say, "Guys, we want to recall Buonanotte in January so we can sell him and we don't want him to get injured. If you agree not to play him, we'll loan you Ferguson as a token of our appreciation." We agree to this, put Buonanotte on the bench, then throw him on after 84mins against Wolves when the game is already lost and there's nothing to play for, putting him at risk of an injury that would scupper any chance we've got of getting Ferguson. Yep, makes complete sense. 1

He has been proven to be great comi g on around the 85 Min. Every time he has started he has been shocking. Well not shocking he ain't that bad but he isn't great either.
StanSP Posted 26 December 2024 Posted 26 December 2024 Of course the day I transfer in Diaz and Szoboslai into my FPL draft squads they're on the bench 1
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 26 December 2024 Posted 26 December 2024 (edited) Ward is an odd one because he looks decent in cup games against lower league sides and sometimes better side. The fact he has no bottle or loses his shit so much against bigger sides has clearly gone under the radar until he’s got that big PL contract (and didn’t he get a contract renewed here as well?). I’d be interested to know how close we’ve got to shifting him - I suspect not very close at all. I remember raising an eye brow when we paid so much for him as a backup. Turns out we we’re all bang on the money. Edited 26 December 2024 by Wasyls Pec Deck
foxfan92 Posted 26 December 2024 Posted 26 December 2024 Even if RVN wanted El Khannouss in the number 10 role, and felt against Wolves Ayew is the more natural on the wing - there is no excuse why he'd play Ayew today having seen how useless he was in that match... I'd much rather the team had Choudry for Justin (and I've been a long time admirer of JJ but feel like he's not playing well right now), and Buanotte for Ayew. (I think I'd have had Okoli for Coady too). Bad enough Vardy is injured, because whether he starts or not, he's able to cause problems, but to play JJ and Ayew puts us at a disadvantage right from the off. Thank goodness Ward isn't in goal or we may as well just turn the team bus back around now.

It’s the fact he isn’t trying anything else……. Why not try a back three and change to a more counter attack based game? We’ve seen countless times that midfield fail to cut out the passing lanes and expose the back four……. Surely we pack out the middle of the pitch to make us a bit harder to break down. 3
