The General Football Thread

Im not surprised, playing with two teams....

 

Alien Lucy scored another 2 for Celtic. He didn’t even look like a footballer for us. Has he found his level or did he just not get a fair chance with us?

 

Time to cancel the international games if players are going to be forced into isolating.

 

TBF Ralph hasn't got too many things wrong. He had a fair enough opportunity here the trouble is that he was like a deer in the headlights and froze in possession or just moved the ball on with the easy option. I suspect that there is a decent player there but he has to express himself on the pitch especially if you are the main creativity option in the team. It may be the same as Boufal and he is brought back to see if he can cut it but I doubt it somehow given our current options.

 

Hat trick now. I wouldn't be against giving him another chance if no decent offer comes in.

 

I agree with that tbh. Just interested on what others think about his future. He’s been delivering goals in Europe too so there must be more to him than what he showed here. We are a much better team since he last played for us too.

 

Me neither, even just as another option from the bench that sometimes looks a bit weak.

 

Can also play as a striker too... options are good.
I just don't think he has what he needs to do well in the premier league.

 

Almost everyone said the same about Vestergaard. Many said it about Adams.

 

I'll look forward to being happily surprised and to ear my words if he comes good.

 

Talking of Vestergaard if he plays in Copenhagen against Sweden he will have to isolate for 10 days upon his return to the UK.

That match is potentially less of an issue (it's on the 11th). The home game vs Iceland on the 15th is the greater issue.

We don't yet know for certain which day our game vs Wolves will be played.

 

I think we can withdraw him from the squad if there's a risk of infection.

 

We can. But whether we will...

Obviously quite a few PL players are potentially affected, between Denmark, Sweden and Iceland

 

The club have already said (via the echo) that Elyounoussi is not classed in the same "no future" category as Lemina/Hoedt/Carrillo were. He will get his chance to prove himself if he impresses this season - same as Forster really.

 

Aren’t the rules different for elite sport where extra precautions are taking?

 

Not for Denmark due to the mink situation. No exemptions for Denmark.

 

Danish FA say English based players not expected to play against Sweden.
