OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: 2024/25 European club season underway

[rolaholic]

Got Citeh next up in the league to get down to a new circle of hell

 

[Sinner]

Ultimately, the fair result.

 

[LA Diggler]

Hope Ashworth making the most of his leave. Like Ralf said, Open-heart surgery is needed

 

[cs02132]

This dude Onana just stands there half the time doesn’t even try to make saves

 

[Coupé It]

You always have to watch where this man is at all times.

 

[whtascene]

That was dreadful.

 

[jape]

christensen as the cdm has changed the look of this team. no longer soft through the middle. gives frenkie freedom and he was brilliant today.

cubarsi is special.

 

[mastamind89]

Gilmour’s challenge wasn’t all that different from the challenge Maguire committed

 

[Beans]

This what you get for no ingrained style. You can’t cope with injuries if your system is too reliant on a player instead of a style. This gonna get this man fired..

 

[Armada]

Right place right time foden!

 

[Beans]

Should have never given these ppl money

 

[Coupé It]

Should have never given these ppl money

That’s a tough kit. Can’t even lie.

A throwback would be the way to go.

None of these new kits with these players would get my money.

Is that from the 80’s?

 

[Coupé It]

Speaking of kits. This is terrible. Way too much black for a Portugal kit. They should have made it dark navy blue.

Don’t like the white, should be gold. Just overall terrible. See you soon Puma.

 

[noskey]

Arsenal legend Alex ******* Iwobi

 

[Coupé It]

This country is so F’d

 

[Armada]

Nunes has not impressed at all this season

 

[Armada]

Aight need to put Bournemouth away they been really growing into the game

 

[Sinner]

Whoa, thought that was the equalizer!

 

[Armada]

Bournemouth gave that one a real go. Subpar performance but escaped with the 3 points all that matters today.

 

[cs02132]

Big performance needed against Stokecastle

 

[Coupé It]

Big performance needed against Stokecastle

I will be paying attention.

Want to see how you guys rebound.

 

[LA Diggler]

This what you get for no ingrained style. You can’t cope with injuries if your system is too reliant on a player instead of a style. This gonna get this man fired..

We have an ingrained style we’re just not very good at it. The below graph shows the team we would look like if everything was firing on all cylinders.

The problem is we don’t have the players (and coach it looks like) to implement this at a high level. If he gets fired part of it will be on him for moving away from the style that got him the job in the first place. He went all in this summer on making this “the best transitional team in the world” and it looks like it may backfire on him.

 

[cs02132]

Need to spam Martinelli there’s 3 people on Saka

 

[Sinner]

Tough OG!

 

[cs02132]

Man
I kinda decided I’m gonna save my $$/credit card points and not go to the Porto game but if the Emirates is gonna be like this I might need to say f it
