lacuna Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Ha! Norway up 2-0, then (to the surprise of absolutely fucking nobody) down 2-3, then squeak out a frankly undeserved draw two minutes past the initial added time. "Defending deep" for nearly 40 minutes cost us there, but Sweden weren't that good either, so it's all right I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Solskjaer appointed on a permanent basis on a 3 year contract. Simon Stone reporting that United intend a gesture of goodwill towards Molde that may involve a preseason game but that's still to be agreed upon.

A Horse Named Stranger Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Just pay them a fee. It's less than change for United. Talking about fees. I must say Cardiff's attempt to worm itself out of paying the transfer fee for Sala is really classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, but you kinda have admire the balls it takes. I mean they were all big about the black armbands, Warnock travelling to Argentina for the funeral publicly claiming although he had never played for me, he was still one of my players. And to now claim, the contract was not approved by the EPL so the contract is void, thus none of our players. That is really some high class jackassery.

I assume you just don't want to get your hopes up in case they are dashed. I genuinely think it's a 50-50 call currently. I think the probabilities now are City 66%, Liverpool 33%, Other 1%. City’s better quality finishing and their slim lead in points and GD makes them much better than a 50:50. Liverpool look a bit short of goals still.

A Horse Named Stranger Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I think tomorrow will be a decissive game wrt to the EPL title. If Liverpool drops points, then it's hard to see a way for them to win the league. They'd need City to lose twice. I think City will drop few points eventually (particularly the Manchester derby comes to mind). But Liverpool will also need to win pretty much everything, and Spurs is gonna be a tough game. Transfer rumour mill. Bosz has raised question on whether Leverkusen will be able to keep three of their German stars. Brandt has a release fee clause that kicks in this summer, so that should raise some interest. Havertz is rumoredly on the Bayern shortlist, and centreback Tah is the third he isn't sure whether he will be there next season. The contract of Leipzigs werner runs out in 2020. Rangnick said he is not willing to go into next season with Werner just having one year left (and basically buggering off after the next season). There are serious doubts whether Werner will sign a new long term contract. Again Bayern are rumoredly interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorshach Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 That was Everton's best performance this year. I think we were helped in that West Ham didn't show up - my suspicion is that the guys in claret and blue really was Unknown Fishing Village Young Boys, who had kidnapped the West Ham team (beats me why) and used the match as an audition. It fell flat. More seriously, we were more aggressive than we've been for ages, our passing was precise, there was plenty of movement off the ball and several players attempted - and succeeded - with through balls (plus balls played into the space between midfield and defense). Harder passes, more one touch-football .. we looked good. Repeat for 37 games and we're talking .. something. Happy, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goals are certainly the issue for Liverpool but I would argue that smash and grab results are more plausible against City because of the spaces we are willing to leave. I'll back Liverpool to hold onto a 1-goal lead but I won't back City to. Without a 2-goal cushion we're open to dropping points. I concede that maybe 50:50 was wrong but I believe you've got more chance than you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Antony Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Just don’t get how you can get so much hype and even get a senior England team call up yet not get any minutes vs Cardiff. Transfer ban forcing Chelsea not to sell is the only way I see CHO staying at Chelsea unless Sarri is sacked. Cardiff will feel robbed after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemon the Leaner Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 To me, this Spurs team with Rose in looks like a car rolling without tires on its left side. Still feel that something could happen in this tie though. Liverpool did produce great football in 1st half, but they aren't dominant anymore. Spurs look better, but anything could happen. In the perspective of a top3 race, I hope Pool don't concede points today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Whew, if we'd dropped points there I think that would have been the title race done, I can't see City dropping points twice. I don't normally agree with Soylent's Klopp criticism but he probably should have brought Fabinho on a lot earlier. The midfield really wasn't offering any control once Spurs adjusted to their early tactical issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon the Leaner Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Klopp with the sneaky Lovren substitution with 3min of gametime remaining, lol. Don't ever talk me about "modern" and "conservatives" managers. Happy with that result though. Lloris is a great goalie for France, but in Spurs' big games he never misses a chance to fuck things up.

Mark Antony Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Yeah Fabinho has been our beat misfielder when he plays. He should start. Very lucky to get anything yesterday. Thank the gods it was Sissoko in that 2v1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
