    babatunde - I am doing this to feed my family.
  1. Some would say it was the second best right hand delivered by a Nigerian in a Muslim-majority country this month.
  2. Mad scenes in Turkey between Trabzonspor and Fener. Trabzonspor supporters entered the pitch attacked the Fener players. Livakovic was punched in the face, one of the players was running from a fan attempting to hit them with the corner flag, Batshuayi kicked a supporter in the face, and Nigeria's own Bright Osayi-Samuel connected with a beautiful right hand This is the kind of nonsense happening in the Turkish league these days. Unbelievable that this sort of behaviour is still occurring. Let me join the chorus of people expressing their dislike for Klopp. Genuinely unpleasant when faced with even mild adversity, his entire persona is a facade contingent on everything going his way. The Premier League has been blessed with some wonderful personalities among its greatest managers, but Jurgen is the only one I truly cannot stand. He will not be missed AT ALL.
  3. Botman's form is very worrying. If the injury is affecting him this badly, then he needs to sit. Bring Jamaal, he will be more effective.
  4. Burn was the one beat for the initial cross, tbf, but Sven cleared.
  5. Watching replays, the clearance from Botman for the first goal is laughable. He just casually chips the ball back into the danger area under little pressure. This is the first thing you are taught to avoid as a young defender, even before playing proper matches. Conceding the corner is preferable.
  6. Napoli and Barcelona are both horrendous teams. Lewandowski and Osimhen both did very well with their only real chances to make it 1-1, but the overall quality of play is unbelievable for two sides that won major leagues last season.
  7. The point is that Wilson is too unreliable to be one of only two. If you carry a player with his injury history, a replacement is necessary Also, these teams have wide players and attacking midfielders more suited to the striker position if needed. They have more quality in those positions overall, actually.
  8. It is simply poor planning to only carry two senior strikers in the squad and to have on of those strikers be Callum Wilson. This a team that was meant to compete on four fronts this season and play more than 50 matches. I am a fan of Wilson as a player, but he has proven that his fitness is unreliable over the course of several seasons at two clubs. The situation cannot be surprising.
  9. They did not have a chance to get forward. Zaidu, Iwobi, and Aina made sure of this. They were abhorrent. The team has potential with a real coach, they will appoint a European nobody or an uncle. Congrats to CIV.
  10. Elanga is the fastest wide man in the league; one of the fastest in the world. Playing Burn doesn't even make sense from a tactical sense, never mind his recent performances. Howe is doing nonsense with his loyalty to him.
  11. Awoniyi, Elanga, Odoi is one the most athletic front threes in the entirely world and Howe is starting Burn. I really do not understand it. If he is isolated for pace the way he was last week, the same thing will happen.
  12. Differing emotions in my home with myself elated and Congolese wife devastated. Hard lines for her. Losing to South Africa was just unacceptable with all of the rubbish these people were talking. I am proud of these boys anyway; the football is honestly fairly poor, but they are resolute and Osimhen especially is a warrior on the pitch. They will need those qualities against CIV on Sunday. It will be very difficult in that environment. Cannot wait for that match. I've been watching some Asian Cup since AFCON has me in the mood for international ball, and the Asian Cup has been class. Shock after shock and the football is not bad at all. Teams like Jordan, Tajikistan, and even Palestine have really impressed, the game are of decent standard. No idea why these same sides are useless in WC qualifying.

    Dan Burn

    It is time to quietly usher Dan Burn into the Paul Dummett role that Dummett himself occupied before injuries and decline forced him to abdicate.
