    Last time I was here, it was women's football you were insulting, now it's making the assumption that if a referee is gay, he must be **** - you don't exactly cover yourself in glory, do you?

    Didn’t know it was a competition... Harrison is on loan from Man City not Chelsea, Alioski went to left back not right back.

    As for this tippy tappy candy dandy thing? Are you referring to tiki-taka short passes or that these players are trying too many step-overs, tricks etc?

    2 points,Berardi won't keep Ayling out,because he offers very little going forward,compaired to Ayling,and the football league is indeed corrupt if Chelsea sent the Man city player Harrison on loan.<laugh>

    These are things you simply cannot understand if you have never been a goalie!

    Third point, Ayling’s first touch is way better than Berardi’s. Yep, Ayling has been off the boil for two or three games but is integral to Bielsa wanting to play it out from the back. Far more likely Berardi will be challenging Cooper for a place for exactly this reason.

    What I will say is, Alioski is not my type of player but he looked 10 times better when he went to left back - I’m assuming it was left back as he was on the line to our keepers left but I could be wrong <whistle>

    Bloody right Chesh, congratulations to you too on finding my second deliberate mistake, I always say there's intelligent people on this forum.....:emoticon-0105-wink:

    I think Berardi will keep Ayling out, Berardi has much more experience and knowledge than Ayling imo. While Ayling goes forward, not much comes of it, but he leaves big doors open when the other team counter, this puts extra pressure on our defence and gives the opposition an advantage.

    I think, looking back, many other teams are doing their homework on us, player by player, Ayling got caught out, and left behind many times during Brentford game, there were some quick counter attacks down Aylings side.

    I agree Eire, I've been saying that for a while now. Sometimes kicking it long is the safer option than playing tippy tappy football in the box. Every game is going to be a battle. Whoever gets the two auto spots this season will have deserved it. I just hope when our injured return that we can start picking up 3 points.<ok>

    We also may have another issue to deal with. Bielsa has said time and again he has a plan A and sticks to it. I agree with him and think it’s a great idea but wonder does it mean as season progresses, opposition teams will figure out how to combat our system. On a side note McGregor was thumped last night. At least that might keep him off the tv for a few months

    Have you got the right member Kiwi, I've never insulted womens football, joked about it about 100 yrs ago, but never insulted it that I remember.

    Also, you missed the whole point of me putting those videos up, which is not surprising as you wrote like you couldn't wait to berate me......Are you Gay by chance Kiwi?

    My RB mistake has been changed to LB Kiwi, my appreciation for pointing that mistake out to me......:emoticon-0148-yes:

    I suspect you're the kind that won't / doesn't make mistakes on here, a true scholar and example we should all learn from.

    When sides play 3 at the back and encourage wingbacks to push forward... teams always look to counter in the space behind. Ayling is encouraged to get forward, so there is space behind that others are meant to cover if the move breaks down. It’s an accepted risk of the style of play that gets accentuated when the wing back plays crap and gives the ball away like yesterday.

    Don’t worry about his millions. He has enough hangers on to do that for him. Those thugs that travel everywhere with him need paying you know

    Can't stand him myself. Didn't watch because I didn't want to line his pocket any further. Heard there was murder after the bout.

    but beradi was being preffered to pontus on here because he's a ball player and passes it out of defence

    My take on yesterdays came
    They deserved a draw for the way they played although the penalty wasn't one but when Pontus caught Watkins later that one was
    I thought the front 3 for Brentford were excellent Canos Mauphy and Watkins strangely we were offered 2 of them but turned them down Canos for 2'7m and Watkins for 1,7
    Pontus was MOM I thought he was colossus Cooper did is usual calamity cameo and gave away a silly goal scoring chance from which they got the penalty
    Ayling wasted too many balls aiming down the line but with too much pace so the ball went out of play I thought he had a poor game Pleased to see young Clarke get a role he will only get better
    A very enjoyable match a testament to the EFL I also thought that Baker played well when he came on for Saiz

    Didn’t watch either. Got highlights on Twitter. He’s an embarrassment to the country and that so called sport is an insult to people’s intelligence. Having said that if I’d thought he was going to be battered I probably would have paid to watch it <laugh>
