    i still think perisic will be good

    assist from the bench yesterday, and apparently sessignon didn't have a great game

    Bringing Perisic in would cost me an additional 0.4 on Digne though, leaving me with 4.6 for a midfielder to replace Bailey - could go with Da Silva there but don't like having too many rotation risks with Perisic and even the likes of James, Cancelo and Haaland, albeit they're more likely to still feature due to 5 subs.

    Need rid of Digne and Bailey but not sure who to replace with. 

    Digne could become Walker or Cucurella (rotation risks though,  and already have Cancelo from City and both James & Mendy from Chelsea). Or Neco Williams - and would probably need to make that call asap to avoid the price rise - but no-one seems to stand out in terms of the extra 1m I'd get to upgrade Bailey. Awoniyi is tempting up front rather than Greenwood but need a -4 and not sure it's worth it.

    Philippe Coutinho

    Completely agree that Buendía should be starting. 

    Completely agree that Coutinho isn't performing.

    But again this talk as if he's just not good enough or it's a joke that he's in the team 😂 He's an incredible player but Gerrard needs to find a way of making it work!(And I do agree if course that starting him will require a system to work around him, but they knew that when they signed him.)

    I like Fred on the pitch. He's a solid player and would be excellent back-up, although KKH is the future and it's right that he's behind Cash if he's not going out on loan.

    I just get a feeling though that despite his outward commitment and determination, Fred is a mardy little shit who doesn't get on well with many people. Based on nothing but a hunch but surely he can't have been bombed out in so many different situations for absolutely nothing, despite his clearly strong performances in France and reasonable level of ability.

    Yes but apart from Vieira, Petit, Kante, Makelele, Pires, Djorkaeff, Cabaye, Ginola, Dacourt, Malbranque, Cantona, Desailly, Ben Arfa, Robert, and Nasri... what have French midfielders ever done for the Premier League?

    improves kids' enjoyment of the game, gets them to go back, maybe to a WSL game next season, therefore helps the game to grow

    if these were at VP they would be atrocious, but they have a target market and need to do stuff like this

    Fair point - can see that.

    I still feel a bit Graeme Souness about it though.

    Don't have to go looking for it to be pretty obvious! Would be interesting to see why it's the case - I could make a few assumptions about perception of the game, areas/circumstances in which women's football may be more heavily promoted and/or invested in etc., but in reality I haven't a clue.

    On another note, those 'GOAL' signs are **** atrocious. What the actual ****.

    Maybe should've just got carrie underwood on earlier as she was good!

    She was, but I wasn't expecting to go there to essentially see someone else sing the songs.

    Just glad I got to see them on their previous tour pre-Covid, as it was much better then. I grew up listening to them and was so happy to actually get to see that lineup live - would have been devestated if last night was the only time though!

    sound was fine last night apart from his vocals. he mentioned that he was having problems during the gig and there was a lot more filler than when i last saw them. at least 2 or 3 times slash just did an acoustic solo. that can't be helped of course and fair enough for carrying on regardless

    for me it was the heavy delay + shorter set that pissed me off which resulted in some big songs getting missed. according to setlist it was the first time november rain and rocket queen hadn't been performed since 2016 and 2014 respectively. you could be mine missed both nights too. i just thought 1.5hrs late is a bit of a piss take

    I was also there and really disappointed. Obviously Axl can't help his voice going and not being able to hit the high notes, but the hugely reduced set and delay - plus the fact that he sounded pretty awful after the first few songs and by the end could barely sing at all - left me feeling like I deserved some sort of refund. No idea if it's possible though.

    I'd be very surprised if the delays weren't due to making the decision about whether to proceed with the show or not. I like that he said he wanted to carry on because the show was very important to them - maybe true, but I'm sure so is the £££!
