It wasn't Lallana’s best day yesterday, but to lump the two of them together like this is a nonsense. We play better as a side generally when Lallana plays. Twice very recently (Fulham and Sheffield U) we’ve dominated matches until he’s gone off, and then surrendered the initiative. No...

He’s the top scorer in that pub league though. The league might well offer up a lot of goal scoring opportunities, but he’s putting them away more regularly than anyone else - and there ARE some good players amongst them.

That’s unfair. If we’re reminiscing about our time as kids, it was allowed to be his favourite. At that time!

Plenty of truth in this. Objectively this really has to be the pinnacle, but the Nelson / Bremner promotion season will in SOME respects never be beaten for me, personally.

They’re really not very happy, are they? I think the ultras are going to have to write a terribly earnest, self-important letter to the players ahead of our game. Again.

It was a live text page, updating across all of the PL managers’ press conferences. I can’t find the page now. There were three entries relating to RDZs conference soon after 3pm. The line about Buonanotte was in the first of these.

To be fair, Hinshelwood, Baleba, Buonanotte and Ferguson ARE U21s!

Maupay is encroaching there, but they wouldn’t check it, and really don’t care, UNLESS he becomes active in the play. If (unlikely I know, but let’s pretend) Steele saved the penalty, and Maupay tucked away the rebound - then they’d check it - and on noting he’d encroached, the goal would be...

And Viennese mince pies :love:

yep. Right wing is the most interesting one. Adingra REALLY looks like he needs a rest, but with no March / Fati / Enciso / Buonanotte there’s a lack of obvious replacements. i wouldn’t be shocked to see Baker-Boaty-McBoatface start.

I agree. My guess is Igor.

Igor was comfortably better than he was on Wednesday, and is left footed.

Buonanotte apparently unavailable

:whistle:

You can't.... (It wasn't in 2023)

Unless I've missed it, we've surprisingly not done this have we? I'll guess at: .............................................Vergbruggen Veltman-----------Dunk.............Igor......................Hinshelwood ....................................Dahoud........Groß...

Indeed. But what if we come second in the group, and Lose the play-off. Do we drop into the JPT / Bristol Street Motors Trophy?

The BBC live text round up of the PL pressers also lists Buonanotte as unavailable.

The two Enciso rockets were special, but so were the mazy dribbles from Mitoma and Adingra. Absolute best for me, is Groß at Old Trafford - it involved every outfield player in a brilliant 30-odd pass move, and finished beautifully by Pascal, after a sensational swivel of the hips sat the last...

The truth is somewhere in between. Kompany started the season trying to play the football that won the Championship, and playing all of his exotic new signings. None of the 'legacy' Dyche players featured in his early starting line ups. A few drubbings later, and now Charlie Taylor, Josh...
