You in Vancouver? I think @studsup is there too. My friends all go to the Butcher and Bullock for our games? Are they showing it there?

I read that as the Butcher and Bollock, & thought to myself 'that's a boss name for a boozer'.

Did anyone else notice Mingolet just stood on Toure's ankle while he was on the ground after being kneed in the leg by him? What a complete tit he is!

Hard to call it that really imo, it's either a 3-4-5 when we're attacking or a 5-4-3 when we're defending, cos the wingbacks play so far up most of the time.

I think we're playing this.

---------------------Mignolet
----------Gomez---Toure---Sakho
Ibe---------Rossiter----Can--------Moreno
---------Lallana------------Coutinho
----------------------Origi

5th formation this season.

I don't think we'll get away with playing like that for long.

Toure's pulled a love handle

 

[FoxForceFive]

It's worrying when you're playing a formation, & one player gets injured, you look at the subs & think "we're gonna have to change formation".

 

[FoxForceFive]

I don't think we'll get away with playing like that for long.

Neither do I!

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Neither do I!

When do you think the ref will spot the extra players on the pitch? It's crazy that he hasn't already!

 

[FoxForceFive]

I can no longer see the toy room floor through the glass partition doors & can only see two kids (I had three last time I checked).

The early signs are that this is another rubbish tactical selection.

The 3-4-3/5-2-3 commits too few people to the attack.

There doesn't seem to be any fluency at all in our play.

Origi smart chance but off side

 

[doctor_mac]

We're looking dangerous on the break. Off-side or not, that was a bad miss by Origi.

 

[FreshRed]

Our back three have seen more of this ball than the sweatshop worker who made the thing.

Sympathetic like for effort!

And, for the frequent updates.

Chirivella on for Lardass

 

[dmishra]

Rolo off. Chirivella on.

 

[cloggypop]

Oh well. I wanted to see what Chirivella was like.

 

[ILD]

#KoloWatch over already.

Gomez gone to the CCB - Chirivella to DM - Can to RCB

 

[dmishra]

Same formation - Gomez goes into the centre of the back three. Can at RCB. Chirivella and Rossiter as CMs.

Think this will improve the passing from the back - so this might be a blessing in disguise.

Come on lad, make that position your own

 

[ILD]

Can could have gone CB as well leaving Gomez at RB?? Nice to see Gomez at CB I suppose.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Seeing Gomez at CB is good. Even against these it's a bit of a baptism of fire for pedro at dm though.

 

[Farkmaster]

So far Ibe is being shut down by their fullback, he's had a lot of opportunities to get at him.

Owen doing my tits in, worse than usual for some reason
