... and in Other Football News

I know robbo isn’t what he was but Christ how **** was that left back for Liverpool

 

He was class for Bournemouth last season but different style of football and different expectations. Bournemouth did really well but their average possession stat was one of the lowest in the Prem last season, along with Forest who also did well for similar reasons. Both teams were content to play counter-attacking football with quick, powerful wingers and a target man.

Kerkez did well as an overlapping fullback for Bournemouth but in a more possession-heavy team like Liverpool, his weaknesses on the ball during build-up are more apparent.

 

And turning your back on a cross coming into the box???

 

Yep. Kerkez is similar to Giles. Great going forward but suspect defensively and not comfortable on the ball when building out from the back.

It’s worth noting Bournemouth usually had a more defensive right-back playing to create a lopsided 3-2-5 shape in possession by having Kerkez get high and wide, the right-back tucked in as a third centre-back and the left-winger played really narrow. Liverpool have basically signed two fullbacks who are more like wingbacks. They’ve looked really exposed in both games this season. Kerkez and Frimpong aren’t great defensively and having them both play high and wide leaves huge gaps.

 

I don't know if anyone follows but Joao Pedro scored 8 goals in 8 games with new team.

 

Celtic

 

I thought you'd be bubbling...

 

Old firm losing is always funny

 

I had him down as a Falkirk fan.

I knew it wasn't Rangers with a name like Brady!!

 

Leeds forum could go into meltdown.

 

TWS missed all four pens - lol

 

Wednesday beating Leeds on penalties as things stand. Calvert Lewin just sent his penalty into orbit

 

TWS, Thrown in the T'owel

 

This could galvanise Wednesday. Hopefully not!

 

Fair play to Wednesday. Young team battling and putting themselves on the line. Petersen doing a good job.

 

Just seen a picture on social media of an almost empty stadium saying Wednesday fans boycotted. Fair play if that's real.

 

I once lost £1350 on a ten match accumulator when Rangers lost 3-nil at home to Hibernian….

 

They did. Seems their Supporters Trust can get involved in mirror than mirrors in the ladies and food issues. A lot watching around the city at various venues.

Good for them, not for me though. No owner we've had has stopped me from attending, and short of a banning order I can't see that changing.
