  1. Of course not. We all die in the end.
  2. He's fresh off a decade in Philly. It's believable.
  3. He's always been a ball playing defender with good recovery pace... which I fear has left him post injury. He's not terribly tall and has never been strong in the air nor inclined to go to ground, the defensive side of his game used to be more like Ezri's, cut off the angle, get between the player and the ball, shepherd them away or get in a block. I think opponents are just able to get away from him too easily now.
  4. Hello from America. I hate United so much it's unreal.
  5. Ought to have another assist for the first, played it off the post perfectly for SJM.
  6. Hope he hasn't done any damage there, looked like his knee clattered the post.
  7. Created a chance for himself with neat footwork and forced a good save, cut the ball back for Rogers' chance, beat his man and got a couple crosses in, that's solid improvement on his recent showings. Youri should've released him on that break, too.
  8. Started getting forward and supporting the attack in the second which helped us. That blind pass to Palmer was shocking, though!
  9. The Finn Azaz Memorial Loan Thread.
  10. Scraped through, made it so hard on ourselves through plain ol' lapses in concentration again, really should've been out of sight given the chances created. Praise be to Duran's sensitive sole.
  11. All we needed 2nd half was control and patience, all we did was play sloppier and sloppier til we completely undid ourselves. Awful performances throughout the team, and of course just had to be against the worst United side in decades.
  12. Almada would be the closest to a classic 10 in our squad, similar to Buendia but arguably a bit more technical while being much less aggressive off the ball. He does essentially no defensive work whatsoever for Atlanta, as he's often been the main outlet for attacking play. Whether he can add that to his game is a major question, as he won't be able to get away with just waiting around for the ball to come to him in the Prem. He'd be great to have against low blocks, though, as he can play through tight spaces with both dribbling and passing and shoot from range effectively.
  13. I thought it was ours when the whistle blew, was a bit baffled when suddenly they were taking it and running the goal in.
  14. Played some good long passes, didn't really drive forward or break the lines with quick balls to feet, though obviously that's more difficult against a team so bunkered down.
  15. Otoh, his holdup play set up one of our few clear shots on goal, which Ollie should've done better with. He's being sent on to mix it physically with the opposition, he's just going overboard.
  16. Too many extra changes with Kamara out, meaning backline lacked protection and comfortable patterns of play, leading to yet another sloppy concession and the inability to build fluidly going forward. We do have to rotate but it hasn't really worked yet. I'd like to see a full replay of the disallowed goal. Digne knocks it down from inside the defender and from the reverse angle didn't look off. One of the worst reffing performances we've had in ages. They inarguably should've been down to 10, arguably down to 9 in the first, then were permitted to incessantly foul Watkins, Bailey, etc.
  17. We were clearly looking for one in Summer with all the links to Ugarte, Adams, etc. If we find a move for Donk, I think we'll be back in for one.
  18. We want to be envoy of the leading online sports betting agency registered in Curaçao and Malta.
  19. Two yellows in the middle and Dougie hoping to avoid one hasn't helped, nor has the ref failing to book them for the same or worse.
