Ted MacDougall scored 9 for Bournemouth in the FA Cup once.

I loved him In the Magic Roundabout when I was kid.

 

[Heath Park]

He will get plenty of rest in November and December.

He'll have 30 goals by then...

No prem league game is a given in my opinion

No, but if you expect to win more than you expect to lose then more often than not you’ll be right.

I think it had been said about kane a few times ;)

Hardly the biggest complaint about Kane is he drops too deep.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Exactly, he's 22 ffs not 52. It's a sad day when someone at the peak of their fitness can't play 90 minutes twice a week

It’s not even ninety minutes. He touches the ball about 15 times, scores three goals then Pep takes him off. That’s not hard work is it ?

 

[Heath Park]

Could be right, although I don't think Rodgers is far off going, he could walk instead of being sacked though.

Managers always wait to get sacked.
Forcing the owners to do it aka Mourinho if need be...

Makes more sense money wise so the club has to pay out their whole contract.
Rodgers contract is to 2025, so alot of money!!

Even Jamie Carragher is excited about the upcoming game.

 

[Heath Park]

Ederson has played four games in a row.
Surely he needs a rest on Saturday...

Haaland appears to be adding a little bit to his game each match. Winning the ball back when he made a mistake, playing a 1-2 with Phil for his second goal and coming to show for the ball from the centre backs. He will get better and better.

Where is my man Rodrigo?

tbh I just have a feeling he'll be the one to grab a rest before the CL games coming up. I'm probably wrong.
