It doesn't matter who we play or in what formation. We're shit and will get a point at the absolute most.

Thats simply not true though. But this discussion isnt possible to have I think, at least not today.
My point was that the rest and training a World cup free month would have for him could be the best thing to happen for all parties.
Which bit's not true? About him being a poor defender? Of course he is, he's proven it year upon year. There are times when we've benefited from having defenders and other players around him at the top of their game, the times when the system and his role in it have worked to a tee and his defensive limitations have been eased, but when asked to defend in a team that isn't playing well, he's exposed too often. He's been the weak point too often when we have been playing well too.
Rashford tore him a new one at Old Trafford a few seasons ago, and did the same again a few weeks ago. That's not progress, that's stagnation, regression even. He might be a brilliant "player" on his day and his passing and crossing ability is second to none, no one is disputing that, even if that part of his game has now gone a bit off the boil, but his defending has always been suspect and his concentration levels are lax.
Allison
Gomez (TAA needs to be dropped from the squad to send a statement)
Matip
VVD
Robbo (don't really rate Kostas as any better)
Fabinho
Thiago
Salah (he has been excellent at creating chances. His goalscoring has fallen off a cliff largely because of Trent playing inverted and him having to be wider due to a number 9 making runs into his space)
Elliott
Diaz
Jota/Nunez

This is what I'd go with.
Be prepared for Milner in a midfield 3, Trent to keep his guaranteed place, and dont be surprised to see Firmino in
This is the thing I've struggled with tactically. It only seems to have downsides and no positives.
Can't believe we're writing off a striker after 3 games when most of us knew it takes time. Moreover he is coming into a team that lacks balance and shape, so I am going to say he is immune till Jan, and then there should be improvements.
Melo I hope shuts me up and there was nothing I saw from the Napoli game to say that he will, but its still early days, he is still trying to get match fit. The squad is the squad till Jan. We have a world class manager and he will have to change it. Go back to basics, defend deep, and then hit team on the counter, get confidence back. Then in Jan, get a CM, RW and RB, and we will make top 4

The only positives were:
- It's simply just a bit different and teams had worked out somewhat our first attacking shape with Salah running inside. (even though it was super effective).
- The second positive was that it seemed to placate Trent's ego to allow him to play near a position to the one he actually wants to play (CM), where he could shoot more. However this inverted position relies on Henderson (not Elliott) playing, and moving into the FB channel when Trent comes inside. Not really a good solution when you're playing Elliott there.
No one is writing him off, just that there are reservations over his style and whether that's suited to us. In fairness, those concerns were raised in many of the assessments made of him prior to him signing and when he signed. That he wasn't good at linking play, he technically wasn't that great and thrived in different ways. That (fairly) set alarm bells ringing about how he would fit with us and how we will adapt to him. It's pretty reasonable really. He needs time, we need time, but I'd being lying if I said I wasn't concerned.
I’m writing him off. So if he bangs in twenty goals you can come back and call me a prick. I can take it.
how about fuckin giving him a proper bollocking on the pitch?
For the Queen? Zero chance. In a condensed season there's only just enough time to get the minute silence in.
Horse racing is a different world to footie.
Ox is grateful for that fact.
I’d say no chance. As squiggles says, there’s nowhere Elise to play games in the season. The calendar is already bursting. Another reason is broadcasters. Remember the stink they kicked up over covid games not what was agreed. Some slag dying isn’t excuse enough to stop their demands for the games to go ahead.
I've read around and it seems pretty likely that everything will be cancelled.
However much the BBC tells us "it's normal to feel empty and disorientated", the simple fact is most people do not give a flying toss. We better get a day off work if they're cancelling the footie.

And do what if there’s isn’t a match on? Speak to our family? Fuck that.
Her Royal Madge was a red, God bless her. Made the ultimate sacrifice for Jürgen and the lads.

There's alot to be concerned about, I am just in terms of whats at the top, it isn't Nunez. We all knew he wasn't Haalands class, but he is a Haaland type forward.
If Thaigo had played from the start, do you think we would have lost 4-1?
She didn't want to be forced to watch another Milner CM performance
If you aren't concerned by Nunez so far you haven't been paying attention
This is absolutely fucking disgusting. Whilst I realise many on here are complete anti-Royalists, this is a lady that has dedicated her life in service to the UK since she was 21 yrs old. Forget her offspring, this woman demands respect and thankfully the world is granting that respect even if you're not.
She covered up for a nonce, held assets that should belong to the public, influenced laws to her own benefit, the whole Dianna thing. She, and the royals, can get to fuck.
