Is he a Jorge Mendes' client by any chance? Nope. Pini Zahavi is his agent (you made google it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 Pleased we are playing a decent team (compared to shite we used to put out in the cups preciously), would rather win the cup and finish 5th than qualify for champions league. Especially Botman, bloke could shit the bed and wake up with a clean sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me they need more pace at the back, and their wing backs aren't really Championship level, but that's not surprising. They do carry a threat, though, and they look good for their lead.

Think I heard the commentator say Coventry was one of the stingiest teams in the Championship, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljkeane Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Stronger team than I’d really like us to be putting out in the early rounds of the cup. I suppose Klopp thinks there needs to be a reaction after the Brentford game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also (1) the Glazers don't wanna give out too much money while trying to sell the club and (2) it's probably better to get a stopgap now and work on a proper target for summer than some kind of compromise January signing who'll be unneeded after summer, so I'd be okay with this. 2 hours ago, BigFatCoward said: Pleased we are playing a decent team (compared to shite we used to put out in the cups preciously), would rather win the cup and finish 5th than qualify for champions league.

Consigliere Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 1 hour ago, Raja said: Also, how are juve just 4 points off napoli Juve have been on a pretty good run in the league. Since losing to Milan, they've won 8 in a row and without conceding a goal. 4 minutes ago, polishgenius said: Yeah, I think Casemiro was bought for money that might have been earmarked for January otherwise.

Nah. We spent the De Jong money on Casemiro who cost less than the fee we had agreed with Barca for FdJ. We blew any budget we might have had for January by paying double what Antony is actually worth. Years of horrendous transfer business (both incoming and outgoing) as well as years of paying out bloated wages to an underperforming squad has caught up with us.

ljkeane Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Yeah, that was quite good. Nunez might not be consistent yet but he’s definitely fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Yeah, I’m not a fan. The only reason the defender needs to play the ball is because there’s an attacker in behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorshach Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Exactly that. Judging whether that is a mistimed header, or him going for a too difficult ball owing to the run is beyond VAR. So it makes absolutely no sense at all to have that rule - it relies on being inside the defender's head in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 fun game this. wish they would show us replays of that offside call though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Ben Doak also looks fun. Hopefully we see a bit more of him. Gakpo was alright on his debut. Not amazing but a few decent touches. ETA: Heh, apparently the reason they haven’t shown a replay of the offside is because it wasn’t on camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
