The Footie Thread

I wonder if this will finish 11 v 11 ?

I see Man Utd have dropped their £90mil forward who has only scored 3 all season -I’m surprised when the media are talking about flops of the season that he appears to have been ignored which is surprising as he was the most expensive signing of the summer

And the Arsenal Newcastle game - when the heck did they allow Maddely to ref a Prem game again , must be odds on for a red card this game now

It's called squad rotation ....................... which is not a new thing.

Does it take away from him not really delivering so far since he arrived ? Some players getting a lot of scrutiny since they arrived yet Antony who stats show has been worse seems to be under the radar when it comes to the flops ?

I don't think he's been a flop and stop waving the price tag around, he didn't set it.
We all know he's only a £40M player, the over payment is down to the Glazers, not the player.

No player sets their price tag but that doesn’t mean it can’t be assigned to them - when you pay big money for a player then surely you expect him to deliver ? Can’t blame the Glazers for that , they didn’t buy him did they ?

no idea - just saw on social media he was in line to be dropped

Not sure he can play every game, Phil. And with a busy fixture list in the weeks ahead, this evening is a sensible time to leave him out, in the event he isn’t actually injured.

Yes.

Are the owners buying your players ?

When did that start ? Surely the manager has a say ?

1. The manager has a say.
2. The club owners buy them.
3. That started when the club was formed.
4. It's not rocket science.

Are you being a bit literal here - do the owners not give the budget for the recruitment team to work under via football director or CEO.

You can’t blame the Glazers for the club buying Antony or indeed any signing.

I suspect they aren’t getting praise for going out and buying Casemiro

 

[Pin-seeker]

Think I’d be taking Xhaka off before he’s sent off.
Also if Saka could manage 1 more shot on target that’d be great.

The Glazers shouldn't get praise for anything other than putting the club up for sale.
They are financial rapists.
I really worry about who they'll sell the club to.

Everton ???

P45 to Goodison Park plse..............

This has to be the end for Lampard, surely.

Seems like you have a lot more to say tonight. Being critical of a Man Utd player before match has even started, but not a lot to say when Liverpool play like they did last night.

Players are normally dropped when they are injured.
