'Even allowing for inflation, this thread is not worth 198 Terry Francises' - EPL 2017-18

His cycle of trash toxicity is quickening each time now.

maybe he's stopped winning a league before becoming shit

I know you're having your fun but I honestly don't blame Jose for this one. Just too many players underperforming/not giving a shit

just joking obv - i only followed it on min by min

So what did we get after the game, surprisingly magnanimous Good Jose or surly ungracious Bad Jose?

Boufal just danced through the West Brom defence brilliantly to score.

Maradona is that you?!?

The two defenders running smack into each other is the icing on the cake.

So what did we get after the game, surprisingly magnanimous Good Jose or surly ungracious Bad Jose?

"When I lose matches, I like to lose matches because the opponents were better than us and had more quality than us. When you lose a match because of attitude, that’s really bad. I heard Ander Herrera in his flash interview saying the attitude and desire was poor. Oh my God, when a player says that and feels that, I think they should all go to the press conference and explain why. Of course, it concerns me. It happened today so why can’t it happen tomorrow. I think so honestly [it’s the first time I’ve seen that], I don’t even remember a friendly match when our attitude was so poor. They tried in the second half in difficult circumstances - the wind was tremendous. In the second half, we probably could have got a second goal but it would have been an undeserved goal and undeserved draw.”

twp

Koeman sacking imminent

Utd really should have gone at Lovren eh

this is exhilarating stuff from Son and Kane

Lovren hooked after half an hour. Remarkable performance

The state of this Liverpool defence. Salah looks absolutely terrifying but otherwise we look like scoring every time we get the ball.

I'm relieved I cant find a stream for this

lolverpool

Not loving this autobiography with snippets about how he got the better of players still in the squad.

Poch out.

I know Liverpool were a clown car at the back but Winks (and maybe Dele in a deeper role) added something that wasn't really in our midfield before - that ability to turn defence into attack that quickly. Both against Liverpool and Madrid we were breaking in a way I haven't seen since Modric was in the team. (Apart from when it was Bale basically doing it on his own). You don't get that with a midfield of Dier, Wanyama and Dembele even if that would still be my first choice against top quality opposition.

I think it's been an option this season after having been developed as a tactic rather than individual players, maybe comes from three at the back and playing through the centre rather than default possession through full backs, maybe worked on as a badly needed alternative to the possession/pressure based plan A

Certainly we've had more goals of this type this season already than the past two combined tho. Kane hanging around halfway line and taking ambitious first touches is a real feature these days.

Also probably tempting fate here but Sanchez has barely put a foot wrong since joining. Obviously slotting into an already successful unit but that extra solidity probably means we can afford to be more expansive in midfield anyway.

And more than that, Alderweireld contract becomes just that bit less of a total disaster Risk

Rose not even back yet, lamela coming available again. It's good.

Winks/Wilshere 2018

book it

don't think England could afford the travel insurance on Wilshere

Koeman gone

moyes getting everton relegated would be a nice coup de grace

koeman feel the moyes

haha

"Ryan Giggs confirms he is interested in taking over as manager at either Leicester or Everton. "

“Everton being a fantastic club with a fantastic history, for me, this is a club that I would be interested in.”

me too Ryan, me too

When is Giggsy going to get back in the bloody game?

I reckon Rangers will be looking for a new manager before too long, get in there Giggsy.

Neville Southall nearly became Everton's caretaker manager, says the club’s former press officer. Great story. (Strong language). pic.twitter.com/oC9EvLXTZC

one of those games where I’d rather have fella than mkhi

this game seems to have defeated ilx

I win though coz I'm not watching it

heard 2 seconds of loveable sectarian Ally McCoist whining on 5 Live then turned it off and went back to my hangover/PS3

wait, mkhi woke up

you fucking beauty

Poch out cunts

Imagine starting sissoko after his performance midweek

That's not good at all

justice there, because that was a bullshit penalty imo.

well, apparently Smith was tugging on a shirt and this is new thing that refs are clamping down on.

confused by this new, actually effective Sterling

not that we particularly deserve anything from this game, but 3-0 down is harsh.

Sorry, why is McCoist sectarian?

watching stoke-leicester

it's actually a great game

Hadergjonaj starts!
