Palermo (A) | Post Match Thread

I can see the back 4 being Nunes, Dias, Stones, Ait Nouri.

Personally I think Pep has to find a way to get Cherki into the team. He's already imo our most important player from a creativity POV. Reijnders is the box crasher but Cherki is the pure creative machine.

Peps going to love and hate Cherki. Same with Kev takes risks instead of the safe option. Will lose possession but will create magic, the outside the boot pass to Marmoush wow.
 
Defence is the issue that needs sorting. If we go with those who started the 2nd half we will have problems. Watched the Chelsea game last night. They have pace all over the pitch
Khuzanov did himself no harm last night. Dias has been written off waaaaaay too easily. Post him next to someone with the pace Khuzanov has and you’ll see the old Ruben I recon. Stones -please stay fit! He could go back to inverted RB at times if he does. Akanji can go for me. Totally not needed and the worst of our cb’s in my opinion. If he goes, along with the two loaned out young un’s plus Ortega I think we have shifted all the none English we need right?
 
We need a player like Cherki to try vertical and risky passes but we have to be very careful to get the balance right. I can imagine opposition teams laying traps for Cherki because they will anticipate that he will play high risk football. I am not worried about this because I expect that Cherki has lived with this throughout his career.

De Bruyne had a pass completion rate that was much worse than the other midfield players - Hopefully Cherki will be good enough to make us forget that too :)

It could have been me wrote that. If it was me I claim my £100.
 
Or not as many as a normal league game actually watched it?
Maybe, although I suspect many post match posters haven’t actually watched the game either.
I also think there’s a small subset who take delight in posting following a defeat and are noticeably absent when we win.
 
Definitely up there with the best trips

Agree…actually staying another night to enjoy it further.

Thought Palermo has a little something for everyone.

Unsure why some on here were complaining about lively places to drink…Piazza Rivoluzione was heaving past two nights with loads of pissed people. Those pop up bars in the square were handy if there was a queue at the main bars. Dangerous though as only spirits.

True. I have posted after listening to games which has its limitations. I think when we lose often something controversial has happened or gone badly wrong during the game. When we win I am normally overjoyed and inwardly content and tend to celebrate. When we lose I can be miserable and looking for excuses to moan and let off steam. Probably more likely to post something in this situation but in despair not delight.
