Against better teams, those extra couple of passes are going to hurt us. Sometimes you are the player who has the space so just ****ing hit it!
Mac also went off injured but nothing too serious. Played on a bit but didn’t want to risk it. Hopefully it’s enough to keep him out the internationals. Ali def out, has a habit of picking up hamstring injuries, can see why we have gone and signed mamadashvili with kelleher obviously wanting a move this summer which he deserves.
Looking at the league table it shows the value of 1 loss vs 2 draws which could be translated as better to have one bad game and get back in gear than have two mediocre games which could turn into a trend.
What I find mad is we just thrrw alisson straight back into the side very quick after a tight hamstring. You can tell from how badly he kicks at times that he is minding it. In the bologna game he was doing thst outside the boot rubbish as well. basically He's now out for about 6 weeks imo. It will be more than 3 as it's in his kicking leg and while it's not done by sprinting it's a weakness. Macca groin means he will go to the internationals and come back injured. Not great. I was less than impressed with jones drifting through the game. But them I am less than impressed with szobo passing not shooting but that imo is slots call.
Thankfully the time period he’s out for is not based on your opinions and instead on qualified medics
Even arsenal with the greatest defence in the history of football conceded 6 in 7 and despite all the noise about spurs, they have the 2nd best with 5 conceded.
We'll have to wait and see on Alisson. Slot said he will probably miss the first league game back but I guess until a scan is done, he won't know either.
Also looking at the table, not only at we top on points, but also have the best goal difference. We've only conceded 2 goals in seven matches. That is exceptional form.
It’s hilarious that we are totally ignored Not like we were top with 6 to play last season or anything. Let everyone milk themselves over City and Arsenal whilst we quietly go about getting the job done
Maybe when people say allegedly to stop from being sued we should begin our posts with ' in my opinion ' so people remember it's a public forum full of different opinions.
Nothing snide. Just way too early to be judging how long a player is out. Will go for a scan, get it assessed and then we see. Might be out for 6 weeks. Might just be one of them that keeps him our for 2/3 weeks. Might be one that he agitates and Kelleher gets his wish to play first team football for the next 3/4 months.
Second half highlights were concerning. Got through us a bit too easy. Been an odd start, results all very good bar 1 game. Performances - still could do with improvement. Defensive stats say brilliant. the eye test says still letting shots at goal and could have conceded 2/3 more goals and drawn a couple games. Need that bit of luck throughout a season. Really intrigued after the internationals how we get on. Will show us if we are actual title challengers or top 4 Chelsea home Liepzig away (CL) Arsenal away brighton away (cup) Brighton home Leverkusen home (CL) Villa home saints away Madrid home (CL) city home Newcastle away everton away 8 league games. Need to be looking at min 5 wins there
Chelsea are inform I will take a narrow win .Arsenal away will be happy with a win or draw. By then, we will not be defeated by any London club.
