    The way they kept banging on about us needing to win by 2 goals, suggesting we should push for it, nearly had me convinced we were going out

    Can't wait.

    I think he did look a lot less shaky last night, even when he did get pressed hard.

    I think this and a record fine. The PL will then feel they've done well and lead with the headlines "City hit with record points deduction and fine". Neither of which make a difference, it's sad.

    Because they're scared of the rep the league will get, that's why they'll be leniant in what they request as punishment. All football is corrupt and I think it's very naive to believe otherwise. The irony is that Italy gets the baddest rep for being corrupt... because they're the only one that is open about punishing clubs that do wrong. Absolutely no way the PL or La Liga would ever relegate their biggest club. Never in a million years. But for the want of punishing wrong doers, it gives Serie A a horrendous reputation. A reputation the PL doesn't want.

    Not entirely surprising, I suppose. Hope they can recover from where they are.

    I understand why Newcastle fans are frustrated, but at the same time it doesn't sit right that you can win the ball back by using your arm (inentional or not), gain an advantage and clear the ball. I do feel like indirect free-kicks would be at least some kind of concession on either side.

    Anything but removal of trophies and/or multiple relegations is kinda irrelevant and a very minor inconvenience.

    Yeah definitely, but F1 seem intent on street circuits and wanting to push out the great old tracks. I just want some kind of entertainment next year.

    Need to get rid of all those pesky, historic, European circuits.

    Was Verstappen and Leclerc, but yeah it was Jeddah. They both basically slammed their brakes on to be behind going in to DRS.

    Does anyone know how the coefficient points work? I saw after Tuesday nights games England got 0.35 points or so, for a win and a draw - whilst other leagues that had a win an a loss got a full 1.00.

    VAR is a necessity I think. Referees have to go to the monitor to change so many decisions, because they get so much stuff wrong in the first place. The issue is with the nonsensical way laws are written, and the amount of grey area it causes. Selfishly in regards to offsides, I think Villa would be much worse off if we didn't have VAR to correct poor decisions frmo assistant referees.

    Clean sheets are a team stat for me, even then far more weighted to your defensive unit than your keeper.

    I'd definitely start Cash. Konsa has started both home games at right back and we've lacked a little something until Cash eventually came on. Not sure where Moreno is, whether he starts or not he needs some minutes though - same with Ramsey. Would like to see Tielemans and Duran in the XI.

    All in all a very good show. Wasn't sure this kind of format would work to be honest, but it really does and feels more like a comic book on screen than the films do. Was concerned about all this stuff coming to Disney+, but this and The Mandalorian have definitely made it a promising start.

    He was about the only player that tried to run in behind when we had control in their half. Everyone else stood on their man waiting for a cross

    I think we need both to be honest. Jack drifts centrally often anyways and we still struggle to create in many games. I don't think having 2 creative players in the middle is the end of the World, particularly against opposition we dominate in possession.

    Andre Green struggled to get regular playing time for Portsmouth in League 1, and showed far more than Keinan ever has. I think he's a League 1 player at best and it's pretty concerning that he's our 2nd option up front at the moment. We knew Wes wasn't going to be playing for a while so I'm really not sure why we haven't bought someone in. This is the kind of situation where a loan isn't a bad thing IMO.
  20. kurtsimonw
    Definitely not the problem. He will lose the ball, make bad decisions, but we didn't expect that we were signing Ronaldo or Messi. He's improved our first XI and after Jack is about the only player in the side that can make things happen on his own.

    All 3 of England's games are qualifiers

    I've never wanted a team to fail so much.

    Not true at all. Look at Liverpool and City of the last few years. They play the lineup to give them the best tactical edge. It often requires a couple of changes week to week. I'm not suggesting we change the entire midfield every game.
