Is Lenglet actually on the pitch? Why is Chambers running through jelly? Can we clone Duran? Do we have full backs? Is Martinez wearing a bib?
-
He is. I’m not sure what you’re at with your spelling of “forren”, but I think it’s harder for a person to move countries on top of changing employers. There are exceptions but foreign (“forren?”) players will generally need a bit more time and patience to settle in.
-
Yep. On his thread I called him elite, as good as Emi. Wonderful player.
-
A famous English legal saying is “Better for eight guilty men to walk free, than one innocent man be jailed.” Brand is one of the eight.
-
He’s our best player. Maybe Emi is better. But this fella is absolutely elite. That touch for his offside goal
-
To be fair, a goal in the first match of the season puts you on course for 38 goals. But nobody claims that, since it’s such a small sample size. September is too early to be forecasting the rest of the season with any accuracy. He should have buried a few this season. He’s a bit off the pace.

We have data collection centres all around the world. For every match we have three guys using bespoke software, which overlays a live video feed on a pitch graphic: one guy watches the home team, another does the away team and the third man is essentially a data checker,” explains Banoub. “Using a combination of hotkeys and mouse clicks they track who’s on the ball and what happens to it. So let’s say Wayne Rooney picks it up on the halfway line and passes it out wide to Antonio Valencia; they’ll click where Rooney is on the pitch when he plays it, again where Valencia receives it and the software records an X/Y coordinate and time stamp of the pass.” Each match produces between 1,600 and 2,000 individual pieces of data, which are analysed by Opta’s in-house team and packaged for use by broadcasters, the press, brands, irritating betting ads and coaches to formulate game plans for upcoming matches by obsessively observing opponents.

Gary Lineker made a good point on his podcast last week. He said a striker who is missing chances during a dry spell will more likely than not come good. It’s the anonymous ones that will struggle. Ollie always has chances, as you say. He’ll be okay. The threat of being dropped (we have alternatives now) and the prospect of a new contract will affect him. I reckon he will hit form again.
-
He’ll settle and be immense. It takes time. Does anyone remember Moreno’s first few matches? Like a fish out of water. Give foreign players a couple of months before judging.

Should have taken his goal first time
-
Thanks Tomaszk! Always appreciate it.
-
Any leaks of the team sheet?
-
Word-that-begins-with-F me. Villa had a thing a few years back, you get to play a match in VP for ninety minutes, all for charity. I remember thinking it was pricey but probably worth it to actually play on that grass. It was £500.
-
Wtf? Vassell is still alive. You scared me.
-
Cash’s header? No complaints, he got it on target with pace. Ideally would have been less central but you can’t ask for everything from a full back. Which was McGinn’s?
-
Liverpool’s first goal was offside, second goal was an unfortunate deflection. Meanwhile Bailey completely missed a fairly easy chance from about six yards out. Had that gone in, the match could have transpired very differently. But also, we were crap. But Emery will sort that. We’ll be fine. I’d like to see him drop a couple of players against Palace though.
-
With a buyback clause just in case.
-
Yeah. Callum Wilson, who’s scored 80 times in 200 PL appearances, is also muck apparently.
-
To be fair Genie, Russia wanted to take Kyiv. They could not. Russia has been building defences in the land they settled for.
-
He’ll be a contender for our player of the season eventually. He was muck today though.
-
Changing the name on his passport to Omari Kelly would make him legally eligible for the Republic of Ireland as well.
-
Did well today. Top class finish, even if the keeper never should have come. Anyway, I don't think Ollie would have finished that chance. Well done Jhon.
-
Reminds me of another winger who started breaking through around 17. Six months in the Championship from a loan in January and this fella could be ready at 18.
-
This fella always has a howler in him. Nearly went full Enkelman against Hibs just there.

There was a barmaid who worked there 10-15 years ago who had blue hair, and I was absolutely smitten with her. I hope she’s doing well, the little minx.
