I hope Tom Thorpe gets his shot now.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Happy 70th to Gigi Riva, one of, if not the greatest Italian strikers of all time. Gli Azzurri record goal scorer and who knows how many more he would have added if he didn't suffer so many bad injuries in his career. Took Cagliari from Serie B to the scudetto, and was a 1968 European championship winner. Also was team manger of Italy in 2006.

 

[L1NETT]

Thing I find odd about Liverpool this season, I barely watch em so could be talking about me arse here, is why Rodgers who did so well bringing through Sterling and turning around Henderson would seemingly abandon that re: Wisdom/Ibe in favour of spending 50 mil + on Markovic/Lallana/Lovren etc etc

All well being Harry Hindsight but perhaps would have been better going big for a couple of top players like Kjaer/Sanchez and bringing through your Wisdoms/Rossiters/Ibes/Origis

As I said, I don't know enough to really make an informed comment. But I will spout garbage anyways

 

[WJD]

I hope Tom Thorpe gets his shot now.

m8 it's Carrick and McNair

 

[RiggyRob]

Think Falcao is still out.

Man, I was looking forward to him playing tomorrow, I don't think he'll start at Arsenal for some reason.

Rojo out for 6 weeks. No op needed.

Better than 6 months I guess? International break will take a week out as well.

The best penalty taker called Frank we ever had.

 

[dc89]

I too will become a Warlord of Draenor.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Ugh, Rafa's still out too.

 

[Billy Big Bollocks]

The best penalty taker called Frank we ever had.

Should have known he would go into acting he used to do an outstanding fake limp every time he fluffed a pass

 

[Vivalaraza]

Ugh, Rafa's still out too.

Wow lol

So we've got one recognised defender available..

Jeez

 

[Diablo Rosso]

m8 it's Carrick and McNair

Probably but it should be Thorpe. He and McNair were the U21 pairing and they know each other. Plus Thorpe is U21 captain so he be the leader of the defence.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Ugh, Rafa's still out too.

You're against Crystal Palace. As if you are going to lose.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Wow lol

So we've got one recognised defender available..

Jeez

We so badly need a proper back up RB. Have done for like 3 years now.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Wow lol

Jeez

We are fucked

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

You're against Crystal Palace. As if you are going to lose.

Idk, it's exactly the sort of game I can see us having lots of the ball but not converting then getting done on set pieces.

Well Sanchez rejected us. We tried to sign big last season but failed. The problem is that unless you offer rediculous wages, big players will hold off to see if our return to CL is a one season wonder.

It's a self fulfilling prophecy really.

Get in CL > try to sign CL players > rejected by players for more established CL clubs > don't make CL next season etc.

Madrid got Kroos for around £20m. Even we offered that amount of money or more, those caliber of players would reject us in favour of most established CL clubs. It's not 2005 were we can compete with signing CL players.

[El Topo]

I like Shaqiri, but it's obvious he won't develop properly/get time under Pep. Sell him for a hefty fee to Liverpool or Arsenal please.

 

[Blablurn]

Seriously though

It's happening in the Bundesliga too. World Cup, last seasons full schedule and a shitton of International Games surely dont help.

[Vivalaraza]

Reading in between the lines from the presser, but I think we might be switching to 4-3-3 for good now. LVG talking about realigning the balance in the team.

We need wingers then. We only have two effective wingers atm. Depay pls.

 

[Scum]

We need wingers then. We only have one effective winger. Depay pls.

We saw him first. You can have Townsend and Lennon instead.

 

[operon]

Whats it going to be like after the Qatar world cup

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Let me guess, for £50 million?

 

[Clegg]

Really don't think Di Maria is as effective out wide.

Wouldn't be so bad if someone could get on the end of his crosses though.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

I really want Wilson to play. Lets just go for some fucking pace up front.

 

[dc89]

New tyre on the car. Now it won't start. Feel like crying. Fuck UEFA.

 

[Scum]

For whichever one, m9.

 

[Phlebas]

He needs to play LCM where he played for us this past season.

He's much better there than the wing.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Tbf the two games he's played out wide in were Chelsea and City.

And he still created chances.

 

[Blablurn]

It's gonna be a trainwreck. Especially in the months after.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

He needs to play LCM where he played for us this past season.

We could do that if we had more wingers.

 

[Scum]

Are there any official Youtube sites for domestic, European and International football highlights? If not, there should be.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Proof that he has been a kid once

Also he's not included in Spains squad.

 

[Blablurn]

Apparently Pep wants to buy Sergio Ramos lol. Real Madrid. Our feeder club.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Are there any official Youtube sites for domestic, European and International football highlights? If not, there should be.

La Liga has, serie a use to. PL will never because the highlight package deals are insane and would lose value

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Yea, and twice his moves forward broke down because of Rooney vs City...

I think DM on wing works too, we still need better people in the middle
