Carragher the slimeball always trying to get digs in weather it be money or players cheeky twat saying erling might have picked the wrong team
fastest 20 goals fastest hatricks beat the golden boot of last year half way through the season
We need to get back playing like we did when he scored 25 goals that's what's changed

Some thoughts.
So you go out and bring in a world class striker that we KNOW needs to be fed the ball in less than conventional ways, but don’t change the style at all.
The problem is we’re still so focused on “controlling the game” that we have become so static. Possession doesn’t win games.
Haaland makes runs off his man all game and they just pass it sideways. There’s zero ambition. KDB is the only player who ever has the balls to try a ball over the top or through the defense. Rest of them? They’d rather pass it back and “recycle possession” for an hour and a half
It’s been said before and it rings true today. We can’t win the league with that XI. We need Foden, Dias, LaPorte and Walker to be on their best. If they can’t figure it out then I’d be stunned if we win a single trophy.
They are our best players who must get in the team.
I’d be remiss if I let Bernardo get away with that performance today. Fucking dreadful. Awful. Terrible. No words do it justice. Akanji ONCE AGAIN not good.
Bear in mind Dias and LaPorte were fit. Why exactly is Akanji in over them? Can we get an explanation for that?
Couldn’t give a fuck about the league anymore. Said it weeks ago it was over. At this point the goal to close out the season needs to be figuring out how to work Haaland and Alvarez into the squad, because right now it’s not working. At all.

A relatively poor performance today, with Grealish and Ake being the only real positives. Rodri, who I have long been a supporter of, was isolated in the centre, and vulnerable because of that: he had a poor game. We moved the ball slowly, as we tend to when we are not quite on it, allowing Spurs to set up the banks of defenders, and they broke at speed. They did not dominate the match; Kane's was not a superstar performance - the commentators' yearning to celebrate every single Spurs move forward was nauseating and biased.
It was also a poor (planned) refereeing display, with Grealish targeted time and time again with little action taken, at least not soon enough for it to positively affect the game in our direction. Again, we saw Lewis targeted too, yet carded for his own, innocuous response.
What I do not understand, from some posters here, are the reactions such as Pep's lost it, he's lost the dressing room, or Grealish still needs to do more. Those reactions are just embarrassing (to me), and not based on anything we know, nor that can be seen.
This is clearly a season of transition, for us and others, and we are in the mix, but we are not the favourites we have become accustomed to being. I would be happier if some posters would behave like we do not have any divine right, and that we (above nearly all other fans of big teams) understand that football is cyclical, and sequences of unchallenged and repeat success are unrealistic to expect.

We’ll let’s hope he dosent spit his dummy cancelo style!
I think he has but we lose the build up quality that La Porte offers. Ake needs to be our LB for the rest of the season.

Rodri has been our best player consistently since the WC. He was poor today but never gets rested. He looked knackered.

We have Walker for the right and Ake can play LB well enough for the time being.
