Time for a Pep to make a couple of changes, not 83rd minute

 

[supercity88]

Bobb wins us this game. Bernardo off Bobb on.

Mine would be that you should
Watch games we play ;-)

Don’t worry I will be for the second half

 

[TinFoilHat]

If they could fill the ground with away fans
Tourists.
Half and half cunts
And tiktok idiots they would.
Money talks

Indeed it does.

Cant make my mind up about Antonio Conte. Any other bloke who had a hair transplant and then dyes it jet black at 56 years old would be an immediate **** in my book, but he is classic Italian male. Picture him shagging a lass and then booting her off the back of his Vespa after hes dropped her back home. Hard to dislike, hes nearly as classic Italian as Bobby Manc

Conte is a legend since putting that twat Tuchel in his place.

Wasn’t watching first half - can I get a verdict off someone?

Many chances for us and some decent saves from their keeper. It's only a matter of time...

 

[heslops barnet]

Quite a few rags on here tonight.

Coronation St must be over?

6 games into the season is our Reindeer the new whipping boy for some?

The change in philosophy is a breath of fresh air to me. No more passing out from the back all the time, and the slow sideways and backwards has definitely been a lot less tonight. I’m loving this new style, go long when we have to, more forward penetrating passes, far more crosses, even if they don’t come off, it’s miles better to watch, adds a bit of risk. Hopefully we get the reward.

I thought it went a bit pass/pass/pass after the sending off. We need to up the pace a bit. Doku started well but has been anonymous the last 20 mins.

Are you new here? :)

It will be a major disappointment if we drop.points here.

Yes, 2 ex rags are playing for Napoli, I know that as they've told us at least 20 times.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

I sense a penalty incoming

Probably for Napoli...! Evens it up. For the VAR.

And if we do get one that bloody goaly will save it!!

 

[Platt Lane 59]

In complete contrast Rob Earnshaw (?) On Sky has been very effusive in his praise.

Love "Earnie" - a legend in Cardiff.
Only player (I think) to have scored hat-tricks in all 4 top English leagues...

 

[deano ou812]

Agreed. You simply have to credit Napoli. Just heroic defending and keeping thus far.

I posted after the red card they’ll be well up for this Italians love defending..

Not proven...

It was even stevens up to the sending off, after which we've dominated possession and huffed and puffed. We've created half chances in the air and maybe one on the ground, and their keeper has pulled off a couple of good stops. Pep is wearing a suit that doesn't look as if it fits, and oddly enough that also goes for one or two players in this set up.

Depends if Rico is playing.

TNT going all yank superbowl on the ads there, 90% ads 10% studio coverage

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

KDB is a luxury player apparently

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Sort of game we have to win, against 10 men, at home. Hopefully they tire badly and we start taking some of these chances
