Luiz has always reminded me a bit of Pirlo who played as a 10 and an 8 early in his career but drifted back to a ballplaying 6. Similar story with Scholes. I don’t think it’s right that Smith misused him - he was our best option at 6 at the time, and did a good job there, especially in that relegation survival run in post lockdown. Since Kamara arrived he’s been able to play a more complete role, and then Emery’s system with natural CMs playing wide mid has given him even more freedom.

I think I’m quite a hyperactive anxious person and I find it relaxing … I actually destroyed my sex drive when I was doing a lot of drugs, and then when I sorted my health out it came back. I’m also lucky that our work means we both generally have time in the day to do it and still do all the other boring things we need to do. But she only really plays ball for one week or so a month like I said. Then I’m a ball of nervous energy and have to do loads of exercise etc to distract myself. Realising now I’m a headcase now I write it all out.

If work hasn’t **** us too hard, yeah, but we don’t have kids… I’ve no doubt this won’t last forever

Problem I have is her sex drive changes enormously through her menstrual cycle and it took me a while to realise I wasn’t doing something wrong when she suddenly lost interest, as it’s the same pattern every month and I just know when to expect it. Get one week of pretty much 2 or 3 times a day, and then it’s the odd sympathy shag to keep me motivated. Think affection and being nice to each other and looking after chores and things keeps it going. The other thing I struggle with a bit is the difference between f**king and making love, as sometimes she wants one and sometimes the other, whereas me being a simple man with simple needs I’m happy with whatever’s on offer, I just need a gentle steer in the right direction.

No crib for a bed, the little Lord Jesus, lay down his sweet head

HAHAHAHHAAHAHA

One minor criticism of an otherwise stellar performance - I thought he was pretty slow to get back after he made that run forwards with the ball to the edge of their box. Was a great break by him, but then he waved his arms in frustration when the ball was intercepted, and jogged back. Don’t know if that was just confidence that other players were covering him, or us being 3 or 4 goals up, but I wonder if Emery will pick him up on that.
-
Dunno, whenever an inch perfect through ball is played from defence you notice him! So unusual to have a playmaker at CB. But yes increasingly his defensive work is going unnoticed, which is a good thing
-
Stunning performance from him today, he really set the tempo of the press and he was solid in possession too

Build the statue

Well that was ok
-
The Solly March header is one of them, which tbf was a good chance. Not sure about the other one
-
Hard to understand how the xG is derived from 7x as many total shots, and 5x as many shots on target. We’ve clearly had many more decent chances. I don’t understand it. The xG concept is sound in principle, but it seems to be really badly calculated.

Yeah it def hasn’t looked like a game with equal xG to me. Brighton have had some good chances but we’ve been all over them
-
Sorry gave this a laugh because we both had same thought at same time, but yes, agree, a great game

Yeah I'd be amazed if it happens, or at least if it happens in the way that's being promoted atm. Boxing is a farce
-
Oh yeah, I agree, it's completely senseless and sad. Pathetic for someone to do it. But the way people are talking about it is hysterical.
-
Couldn’t really give a **** about this tree Saw someone on Twitter describe it as an “outpouring of grief”. Get a grip ffs
-
I'm a bit perplexed by all of this. It sounds like pure rage about something. To not ask your husband of 23 years whether he has a brain tumour... I don't get it.
-
Really delighted to hear this. Has she asked you how it went? Hope you can resolve everything and at least this is one big stress lifted from your mind
-
I’d have agreed with this a year ago, even a few weeks ago. But he has definitely stepped up since the Mings injury.
-
I think his mentality brushes off on the rest of the team as well. He's a winner and a fighter, and he hasn't had it easy. He'll be a key part of any success we have under Emery.
-
Agree with this - Konsa is rapid. His main weakness as a defender is the "stopper" stuff... winning headers he has no right to win, big tackles, last ditch blocks, and so on. But the composed positional stuff he's very solid on, and his work in possession has got a lot better under Emery. And then the yard of pace allows him to recover well when he doesn't get these things right. He reminds me a bit of Rio Ferdinand, who also had good recovery pace and wasn't a big one for flying into tackles. I'd still say he looks best with a natural stopper (like Mings) next to him, but the Konsa / Pau partnership is starting to look very good too.
