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

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

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!

Even though I haven't a clue how to pronounce his name I'm pretty psyched because Smith has been an outright liability for weeks now.

rah! rah! the armed forces can kiss my hairy arse!

woof

Whoah! VLP with a magnificent finish there, rubbing my eyes in disbelief!

he was probably trying to cross it right tbf!

jesus this is the most championship slate of saturday afternoon prem games i have ever seen

the words of a man whose team have maidenhead united tomorrow

(we have truro tbf)

fuck me that is the stupidest second yellow in a while

Schindler isn't normally such an idiot either, ffs!

your lot are just calling the ref a wanker during open play. he's basically made every decision correctly

he's actually given hudds a ridiculous fk there haha

A victory against the Pullisball menace is a very fucking good 3pts imo. The ref had a fairly decent game tbf, our lot wouldn't have been happy until he sent Rodriguez off as well, to even things out.

Rajiv's first PL goal, what a belter!

v pleased for the lad

Hart looks quality only a matter of time before he's back keeping nets for a team befitting his lololoololllllolol what a fucking tramp
