The bleached skin, bodybulding physique, goofy hair, and tucked in shirt. Then he puts his head down and just kicks and runs the ball to the byline. I just can't take him seriously.

True but he did change the game completely. A leaner physique and brains and he could have been a monster. Has all the talent.

He has had an excellent season. Still plenty of time to grow and he currently is doing just that.

It doesn't help that their bigger signings seem to always under-perform (Felipe Anderson is yet to score a goal this season; Haller cost £45m and has just-about-ok'ish 5 goals). They need someone in charge who's got an idea of what the squad needs instead of going for the fanciest player they can get.

What do you mean over-the-hill?

Managers are not like players who just simply cannot play at the same level after a certain age.

Sure Football evolves, but not so drastically and dramatically to make certain types of tactics/coaches obsolete.

Pellegrini is a Solid Coach. he may not be top tier, but for a team like West Ham, he is more than good enough.

Villa's goal ruled out.

It doesn't only happen for Liverpool. Deal with us being better with or without VAR, don't be in denial since you cannot fathom it so you clutch at straws.

What's wrong there? looks onside.

Still looks onside. Don't see the issue?

by Nishankly Wed Jan 01, 2020 12:58 pm

Offside rule is the issue.

How can this be changed? Either we rule out minute offsides but then it can be taken advantage of a lot or we change the rule to just head, chest and foot. Grey area will always exist as limits are drawn.

@Nishankly don't let those Referpool comments get to you. Laughing

Every time a team starts dominating a competition, the moans and growns about referees grow louder. It happened to Madrid during their CL run, to Lyon back when we dominated the league, to Fergie's Man U, Pepcelona etc...

I don't mean tactics or coaching ability. I question whether managers like Pellegrini and Ancelotti have the greatest motivation to coach clubs like West Ham and Everton at this stage of their careers. If a manager is just happy to get another paycheck and lacks real drive to be successful at their club, I don't think they're going to get the best out of their team or individual players. If I were a West Ham or *shivers* Everton fan, I'd want my club to take a chance on an up-and-coming manager rather than one of these old warhorses who are winding down their careers.

the full quotes are actually pretty amazing, he calls the club "out of touch with reality", which confirms what we all knew from Utd's insolently blatant press briefings, that Woodward is a major bullshitter. It also shows that this realization has spread in the professional world of football.

I love how the British media demonize us for treating Bale bad yet they have crucified Pogba and there is nothing he can do to change that

by Myesyats Wed Jan 01, 2020 4:23 pm

Kepa is such an amateur lol. It was a great goal by Jahakbanankabash but Kepa had lots of time to react and he just stood there :facepalm:

by Firenze Wed Jan 01, 2020 4:47 pm

Bayol is a champion who carried Madrid to historic CL titles and was demonized and shit on consistently throughout his stay by the media and treated unfairly by management...Paul Pogba's a fucking jobber with delusions of granduer. Would be nice if we could never do business with that sweaty greaseball Mino Raiola ever again, but he consistently represents the best in the world and since we're the biggest club in the world, it's inevitable. Bah.

Can't wait to smash Arsenal tonight.

Spurs losing Proud

by Nishankly Wed Jan 01, 2020 4:52 pm

Villa, Soton and Watford all winning today. Signals the end of Norwich imo

by Firenze Wed Jan 01, 2020 5:01 pm

only league that matters really, incredibly strength of competition, even more so than the CL IMO
