Its a waste of time Walker moving any further up the park as his crosses seldom get past the first defender.

U like liverpool game where they all went for throw ins
His crossing is poor part of game sadly

Akanji's fleetness of foot has earned him a regular starting berth it seems.

Very intelligent footballer, an absolute steal for what we paid.

In an 'easier game' I'd love to see us have a line up of Foden. Alvarez with Bobb and Doku as an attacking 4 .
I think they'd be a right handful.
Rodri Kdb and Bernie as midfield 3 with Akanji Dias and Walker at the back..

Hi pep
please don't over think this over break

How the fuck did we lose to this lot in 1955?

I was 6. Still upsets me.

Same here but we won in 56. We were the first on our road to have a TV . We had a houseful crowded round a 14 inch black and white hazy picture.

He's deceptively quick. Covers a lot more ground than it appears.

I bet very few of our squad could beat him in a foot race.

We onlyhad 10 men for most of the game after Meadows went off very early in first half and no subs allowed in that era.

The referee was a definite shittake mushroom tonight. His control was non-existent, I offered him my optician’s appointment on Wednesday because he needs it.

I thought he contributed to a decent game to be fair, there were a few fouls he didn't give, but I thought he was equally fair/unfair.

We've had worse (him not too recently in fact).

We had total control of the game bar the odd few moments, shout out to Steffan for a great save, dominated, and could easily have score a few more, they had 2 goal attempts in the whole game, I think that is the worst all season in any game.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Enjoyed that. Thought everyone played well.

Kovacic was brilliant. Just need summat to roll for Doku - lad was decent.

Akanji immense.

Another year ticks by without a trophy.

They're pretty used to it haha
