Consigliere

That went about as well as could be expected, all things considered. Also not sure why some act so surprised that Casemiro is playing at CB. It's not like EtH is playing him there for shits and giggles. Lisandro, Varane, Maguire and Lindelof are all injured. Shaw, who can play there and is actually quite good at CB, is also injured. Kambwala only returned to full training on Thursday - I doubt he would even be playing for the first team this season had it not been for all the injuries in defence.

That was an important win for Everton given the situation with 777 as well as West Ham beating Luton. If Everton go into Administration (it's been reported that this could be a possibility this month) then they still stay up even with the automatic 9 point deduction for entering into Administration.

Dyche named manager of the month for April. Fair decision. Despite that hammering against Chelsea, he still picked up hugely important wins, including their first win against Liverpool at Goodison in 14 years, to secure Everton's PL status with room to spare.

Leverkusen scoring a 97th minute equaliser was inevitable.

Weird that Saka is not among the player of the year nominations as well. He's been brilliant again this season.

Agreed. When talking about the Ballon d'Or, most seem to pick one of Haaland, Mbappe or Bellingham but Vini Jr has been the best player in the world over this season and should be winning this year's Ballon d'Or.

It's the assistants fault. A referee is extremely unlikely to overrule his assistant in that situation. The goal probably would've been ruled out for offside anyway. Real's players also stopped playing when the referee blew the whistle so it might not have ended in a Bayern goal had the assistant not put up his flag.

Real were clearly the better side. They almost pulled a PSG by fluffing all those chances but got the job done in the end.

Any side with five CBs out injured and both LBs out injured are going to have to play with a makeshift backline. The tactical setup is primarily to blame - that's been the biggest factor all season.

That isn't all that surprising. Chelsea's underlying numbers are much better than United's. According to Understat, United's expected points is 42 (which would be 15th place). Ten Hag genuinely has us playing relegation level football. We will end up finishing 8th-10th which would be a fairer reflection of our standard of play this season. I doubt we pick up any more points this season.

Emerson is rubbish. Maguire has picked up a muscle injury in training and will be out for around 3 weeks. That's all of our CBs injured. Think Evans might have recently returned to training though.

Just a coincidence. There are a few top shows that I've not rewatched since its original run so I'm slowly working my way through those. I'll be getting to Black Sails eventually as well.

Old man, stop yelling at clouds!

Ha! I'm going to get to Friday Night Lights eventually as well. Haven't done a rewatch since its original run but that was another fun series.
