On that article he does. What the more deluded types among their fanbase won’t like it the emphasis on how he has had to make the most of dealing with selling all his best players. The last couple of months have shown that they really thought their ninth place finish and impressive start meant they were beyond that reality. The bump back to Earth has been a big and painful one for them
Re-reading that I can certainly see how that mistake was made! I meant in terms of the ones that made me howl with laughter I’m sure we are not immune though. We still have people in our manager change threads across the various forums wondering about Poch (but at least he managed here so it makes more sense than bloody Brighton no matter how great they think their project is). And Saintsweb appeared to have a Tuchel thread seemingly post Dortmund? Which seems crazy to me. But maybe it was around the time when we had gone from Poch to Koeman and were in Europe and seemed to be riding high so didn’t seem quite so outlandish as it does in hindsight
But that's largely because fans don't always have an adequate grasp on what is best for the club. Haise seems stylistically similar to Potter, with an emphasis on interplay on the wings and fast ball movement, and is a well-regarded young manager. That's probably better for them in any event than having a big name who'd have to introduce an entirely new style to a team that has proven quite adept at this one.
Transfer gossip today links Man City with Bellingham. Would that decrease the chance of them activating Lavia’s buy back? Or just mean that in a couple of years they could have a phenomenal midfield that could conceivably play together for more than a decade ? I expect the latter as they are different players and Bellingham might be being lined up to replace Silva if Barca go back for him
He might well be. Or it might be another situation where the overwhelming pro-Liverpool sports media is trying to wish it into existence If it turns into a bidding war then I don’t think Liverpool win it. If the player has his heart set on Liverpool then it is different What I actually expect is that the story has been created due to Liverpool’s indifferent start to to season - suggesting they might not be challenging and all that. Because a Liverpool that scrape top 4 or miss out is very different for Bellingham than a Liverpool who are within a few points of city where he could tip the balance Or even more simply - lack of actual news
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62899010 Pick your teams then folks The 10 teams that are furthest North - Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Everton, Wolves, Villa, Forest, Leicester The 10 teams that are furthest South - Arsenal, Spurs, Brighton, Chelsea, Brentford, Fulham. Saints, Bournemouth, Palace, West Ham
At least one from each in the starting line up right ? This idea is so silly in practice but a fun thought exercise
Ederson; Trippier, Varane, Diaz, Cancelo; Neves; Gumierez, De Bruyne; St Maximan, Halland, Diaz. V Zaha, Kane, Jesus; Odegaard, JWP; Rice; Zinchenko, Silva, ABK, James; Sanchez
What is the limit for Fantasy Footy teams? Is it 3? Let's go with that, although who's to argue with @SaintsFan86 going straight in with 5 from City
With All Star teams in USA every team is represented. So one from every team plus one team has 2 starters.
The other point is that isn’t is actually pretty contentious in this country as to where “the north” starts. People in the midlands don’t like being considered the north It’s not like the US where people take pride in being from the “Mid West” and the like Obviously this is academic because the idea is pretty much a non starter
2 per club gives you 11 starters and 9 subs. And one per club needed for the starting line up with one extra
