not feeling good about this one. our opening day and their opening day looked like two different leagues. Come on lads, make me ashamed for writing this !!!
You are more than welcome to Brendan Rodgers !!
All smoke and mirrors with no substance !! He talks a big game but is tactically inept. You might just as well stick with Gerrard rather than put up with the Rodgers blame game.
There is no logical, valid or sensible statistical basis for comparing Smith's 2021 performance with Gerrard's 2022 performance.
Just saying.
(Also, please tell us where you are hiding the stolen 7 matches.)
Fight at or weigh in at? Benn is going to be a lot smaller at the first bell when Eubank jr rehydrates, the only upside is he'll not have to have too brutal a cut (for all that's worth). If it is at a catchweight, and I don't think anything has been announced yet, then it would almost certainly have to be 157/158 or something because it means Eubank jr cannot make Super Welter (154) and maybe Benn doesn't want to give Eubank jr the advantage of Middleweight (160).
It's an odd fight though. Obviously it's going to sell well on name recognition alone but what does this say about how much Eddie Hearn thinks of Conor Benn? Is he going to get smashed to bits here? I don't think it's Brook vs GGG levels of mismatch, but Brook was a seasoned world champion when he took that fight, Benn is 25. Eubank jr knows he has to look good here too. Weird fight, Eubank jr by KO.
Let's also not forget that Conte offered to resign because things weren't working and there were few positive signs at all. I think that was a genius move as almost immediately their form improved. Similarly, plenty of people called for Arteta to be sacked at the start of last season. Previously Sir AF was reputedly one cup goal away from being sacked. That said Gerrard is definitely entering the danger zone and needs to see some improvement soon otherwise his dream of becoming an elite manager is in danger of going up in smoke.
Conte, Tuchel and Klopp all worked through lower leagues and earned big jobs. Something Gerrard should have done as any clown with an unlimited budget could beat Neil Lennon in a title race
