A Horse Named Stranger Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 (edited) Meanwhile Bayern's rebuild cleanup is progressing. Eberl will join the club as an executive with focus on the sporting side of things (essentially Salihamidzic old job). He will be the strong man next to Christoph Freund to oversee the footballing rebuild. (New Manager, major overhaul of the playing squad). He is now their second attempt to install a successor/heir to Hoeneß (after that failed Salihamidzic experiment). On the sporting re-build front. Davies might be on his way out. Real Madrid is rumoredly interest and Bayern would rather sell in the summer, than lose him on a free a year later (if he doesn't sign a new contract). The writing for Eberl to return to his boyhood club was on the wall since he parted ways with RB. Edit: Going back to the Billion Pound Bottlejobs Nkunku picked up an injury against Liverpool. Out for another 3-4 weeks. Edited February 27 by A Horse Named Stranger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorshach Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Wonder what his reasoning is? "Well, he was an assistant with our local rivals, and he's now doing a great job at a club he played for - so it makes sense he'll join United"? baxus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorshach Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) This game is just to show you can't give City (and Haaland) space behind the defense to use. Credit to Luton for having a go. It didn't go well. ETA: seems I may have spoken sooner than I should. Also, Ross, whyever did you leave us? Edited February 27 by Rorshach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljkeane Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I’m not overly encouraged by this Edwards stuff. Yeah, he was excellent in his first tenure but he’s obviously not that sold on coming back and it suggests that FSG still don’t have a clear plan for what they’re going to do about sporting director. Also by the sound of it they want him to take over a fairly big chunk of Mike Gordon’s job. Since he’s also been good that’s not too encouraging either (if it’s because he wants to step back). Having said all that if we do get him back that’s probably good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryk Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) Former Man U players are very blinkered, they act like it's still the 2000s and that any manager or player would drop everything to move to Man U. Of course even in Man U's glory days it would be delusional to say that an Arsenal manager would move there. Edited February 28 by Darryk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had his best years in England. By the time he got to Old Trafford he was a busted flush. The story is that after his very first United training session, he got onto his agent and told him he'd made a massive mistake, and could he go back to Arsenal. Twat.

Consigliere Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 His legal team fucked up by refusing to negotiate a plea bargain. Probably could have gotten away with a 2-year ban rather than 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Couldn't happen to a bigger ball bag. Liverpool fans recently moaning about their injury crisis need to have a word, days lost to injuries 865, it only puts them 9th. We have lost 1,333. Conversely last year we had 9 outfield players play 75%+ of our games, we aren't shit this year, just knackered. Buying players who are injury prone is just as daft as buying players that are dressing room cancer, like the nobhead being discussed above.

Iskaral Pust Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Really fun that the Liverpool kids have done so well in the cup games but this wave of injuries will spoil the title challenge. Injury absences distributed over the season, even long term ones like Matip, Thiago and Bajcetic, are challenging but manageable. When you’re missing most of the team for several weeks at the same time, then points will be dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted February 29 Author Share Posted February 29 Just checked. The issue is your schedule. Forest and Sparta Prague away should be doable even with your absentees. Then you host City, that will be tricky (that would be tricky even with a full squad tbf), but on the flip side it's Anfield thus you should stand a chance regardless. Then you have the rematch against Sparta Prague, then you have the FA Cup game at United. International Break Then at the end of the month you host Brighton (with more players presumably avail again). So March is probably one of the better months with your absentees for the league. The only real pain in the league will be the City game. With the FA Cup tie against United, no maybe EtH will get a good performance out of his team, or they phone it in again.

That’s pretty much the title-deciding game. If (big if) we could win at home to City then we have a pretty good chance of being champions. But facing them with so many players out drops the odds by a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
