Rare Branko sighting.

Andersen is class but would cost too much considering his age.

They’ve been really good and should have scored more than 1.

What a game!

Jota has to score there.

Nah, both Robertson and Anderson were claiming for pens way too enthusiastically.

Anyone claiming for a pen for those should get booked. Anderson did it yesterday too.

Anderson and Murphy as wingbacks?

Scamacca!

Trickle down as far as I know.

I fucking hate this 'race for the fifth CL spot'. I don't want to have to support fucking Liverpool against Atalanta or West Ham against Leverkusen.

Nee idea what match to watch. Milan-Roma is the obvious choice but a bit boring due to it being a same country tie.

I'm still not against FFP as an idea and wouldn't want us to go all Chelsea/Man City even if we were allowed. It's just impossible to create a system that's fair to everyone. In theory when it was first invented every team should've been on the same starting line. Chelsea/Man City took the piss for ages but are now big enough due to the earlier limitless spending that they don't really have to worry about anything. Others from the big 6 were big and well ran at the right time before FFP kicked in (outside of Spurs who have done an impressive job). I have no idea what the solution should be in 2024 but it's a complete joke right now where they make shit up as they go (Everton and Forest deductions) or limit a club like us to not spend a penny in January in the midst of the worst injury crisis humanity has ever witnessed.

It’s due to the mobile era, right? People can watch that video in public spaces without sound.

He’s also like a target man in midfield. You can launch the ball towards him and very often he actually gains possession from it and not just flick it forward and hope for the best. He really is a unique player, physically dominant but also has a very good technique and touch due to his background playing further up the pitch. General passing is his only weakness but I can see him getting better and better at that too. That’s the one thing that shows he has only played a couple of seasons deeper but he’s really motivated to get better based on hiring individual coaching during the dark days. His versatility is also very important, you can play him pretty much anywhere outside of defense and you can expect to get a good performance. Hope the new contract gets confirmed soon, would be massive.
