Sweat it out!
I have a large brandy and lemsip last thing at night!
This 4-3-3 we play makes it difficult to fit Kulusevski and Maddison into the lineup. Kulusevski can still be shoehorned to the right, even though I don't consider him a winger, but I can't see an ideal place for Maddison. As injured players come back he may slowly fall out of favour.
A holding midfielder/DM+ two highly energetic, box-to-box CMs seem to get this formation going. Wingers are very high up the pitch, and Ange in particular also lets his fullbacks march forward very liberally. This kind of a setup cannot afford a 10, just too unbalanced in terms of shape and mentality.
Under ideal circumstances we would have a quintet of Sarr/Bissouma/Gray/Bergvall/Bentancur to choose from, so I don't think it's necessary to expect the aforementioned two to play a role that they're clearly not comfortable with.

I don't think you're completely wrong, but I do think judging Kulu lately would be unfair.
Its obvious he's been run into the ground. His touch is heavy. The weight is off on his passes. If we were able to give him proper rotation, he'd excel in a midfield 3. Maddison, i agree. In our current set up i'd love to see him get a look at LW against teams planning to park the bus.
Maddison left. It’s so obvious
You can still suffocate/choke on it, though. Even if it doesn't get anywhere near the stomach, it just blocks the airways. I think that's what's meant by it.
Was it particularly acute (rapid onset, but quicker than expected recovery of fever, but the cough remained)?
See my question in the post above.
True, but it can fall to the back of the throat and block the airway.
All he did was repeat what he's been told by the PGMOL. If it's "shorthand," I'd say that's on them not him.
Agreed. What it says to me is that the PGMOL either don't know their own rules, or they've offered excuses for why players weren't booked when those offences were against us. Either way, AP's comments still aren't debatable, but the PGMOL's are.
Never suggested they should be. Maybe they should have the referees back in the classroom to reread the rules, then examine their answers. Mind you, if the PGMOL themselves don't know, they'll probably all score 100% because their "interpretation" is all that matters?
This is where reality and fantasy collide.
Johnson (i think) is our top goalscorer and last night by hugging the right touchline pulled their defender away opening up space for Solanke to run into before tracking down that Porro pass. But don't let's talk about off the ball tactical moves like that.
Werner from my perspective played well, made runs at and around the Scouse defence and made an actual impact. Son was fucked, and for me Werner should have come on earlier.
In a threadbare squad any fan that suggests that "only if Werner and Johnson are not around" isn't a fan, just a boneheaded idiot.
If only "fans" like you were not around this forum, TFC would be a lot better place.
He sure did.
6 Saves
Very impressive.
If this form continues, then Vic will find it difficult to get his place back.
Added to those stats, I thought he gave his defense huge confidence, and was commanding of them at corners and at free kick defensive set-up's.
Tbh, it's impossible for us to know whether it's Ange accurately repeating what PGMOL have told him or not (in the heat of an emotional post-match interview etc etc) . Ange has a right to be fucked off with officiating, and tbh I think was really naive with his "we'll just cop it" stance last season.
One thing though - and apologies if this sours the euphoric mood, but it shouldn't really as it's an obvious and incontrovertible point about the laws of the game - is that there IS a legitimate question as to whether Bergvall should have been given a second yellow given the late challenge. The idea (whether it's from Ange or PGMOL fuck knows) that you can take a player out with an excessive force tackle and it won't be yellowed if there is advantage played (because it's not "cynical" - whatever that means as it's not a term used in the laws of the game) ... is obviously untrue and ridiculous with even a moment's consideration.
I think he’s learned from that though, he hasn’t really had that kind of attitude this season
