...The stupid kicking out rule change may work against us in the short term...

Not sure what you mean exactly, but I wanted to pass on a new "kick-off trick".

The new rule says the defender may receive the goal kick from the keeper inside the box.
The little workaround goes like this (and the IFAB is already asked to adjust the rule again):

the keeper has to take the goal kick from the 6 yard line.
He chips the ball to his defender - while opponent players must stay outside the box -
and the defender heads the ball back to the keeper,
who now is allowed to pick it up, move further up the pitch and throw or kick it somewhere
AND he has several seconds to do so -> time wasting...

Several 2nd and 3rd German league teams have done it already, so be prepared if you watch it in PL matches... ;)
 
You don't rate him...
He was pivotal on at least 3 key saves and stopped the only pk in the last match. BUT
you don't rate him.

Yeah, he played reasonably well. That doesn't make him as good as Ederson and doesn't wipe out the memory of his first season. Cabellero saved a couple of pens a few years ago but is miles away from being a top class Premier League keeper

It's West flipping Ham FFS. If Ed needs another game off I think we'll be okay. I do see your point tho honestly never been super stoked with Brozo myself after his first season.
