Match Day Thread 2017/18 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

leave off lads the only time rooney has moved fast is when a random wench hands him the keys to her car.

 

I don't think we're telling tobes anything he doesn't know. There's no pace in that team.

Not sure what the away games have to do with it mind - don't Everton run when they're not at home

 

No they just only tried to defend in those games. As in small minded cos apparently city would destroy them if they tried to play

 

Leicester at the top for speed of attack and the bottom for number of passes i.e. hoof it into the channel for the whippet to chase.

We've not had that option, not complicated really

 

Talks to close transfer window are well advanced, says EFL chief executive


Talks over closing the Premier League and English Football League summer transfer windows before the start of the season are "well advanced", says EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey.

Currently the window closes on 31 August.

The EFL is keen on the proposal and a vote is taking place at Thursday's Premier League shareholders meeting.


"Generally I think the mood is that it will be an improvement," Harvey told BBC Radio 4.

"There are some significant concerns at some Premier League clubs around European competitions - the teams they are playing against being able to sign players after them.

Gonna ask a really thick question here - would that have made any difference anyway in the Ford case? I mean because the Spanish window was open until 1 Sept it was pretty irrelevant when our window closed, wasn't it?

 

Give a female a job reporting from a very important game for Wales and she's more interested in winter fashion.

From a kit point of view I like the Moldovan red kit tonight - side on it's got a bit of Christmas jumper about it.

 

You could have still sold him

 

More importantly, Barca could still have bought him, so just because we close the shop doesn't mean the Spics won't still be banging on the window offering to buy stuff on the never-never.

 

We've been discussing your complete lack of pace for months. This hard data just #confirms what was blatantly obvious.

 

They did increase their bid to £17m/year and dropped the condition that his multiple Ballon d'Ors had to be in consecutive years to trigger an add-on

 

FSG weren't selling #endof but if they wanted they could have still said it was the deadline to be able to replace him.

I think the new deadline will make things simpler. As-is when Coutinho, van Dijk don't play the first game of the season they're #nailedon to stick with that position until at least the close of the window. The new window will stop this happening in the first place.

 

The stats aren't all about direct pace though they're about how quickly the ball gets moved forwards, which could be a 60 yard punt ffs

 

Woodburn produces some magic again...run and cross this time...good header though..

 

When you look at Liverpools fastest (9.9mtrs/second) then there was quite a bit of punting going on.
Amazing when some teams do it, hoof ball when others do.

 

Needs to cut his diving out in the box though.

The cross was weighted perfectly. He's a special talent.

 

Feck sake he's been training with Bale lol....

Yeah...dont mean this rude but glad he's playing for you rather than England...there will be hype but not silly hype.

Not a starter yet but I'm sure you'll be happy enough if he has this effect every time he comes on last quarter lol

 

Agree. Plus, we won't ruin him by playing him out of position etc.

Keep developing and he'll be a started within 12 months.

 

That's that done... good performance... Moldova defended well and good save to scare you and a post lol but deserved win...

 

Ireland losing too is great for us
