i was being diplomatic in the spirit of moving forward but i feel like the free jazz midfield we employed was particularly useless

It's mad how long nearly everything we do seems to take
This is done but we should learn to never expect it to be quick.
...and they walk away from you saying, "Fucking hell, did you smell the state of that bloke? Probably hasn't changed his shirt in weeks."I'm still having random people coming up to me in the street saying "European champs!" when they see my Spurs shirt (s).
......I've barely worn anything else since that night.
I can't say I ever saw Ange-ball after our 4-1 home defeat to the Chavs in his first season, when we had the 2 reds and the long-term injuries. After that great start and bad defeat, I honestly can't recall any consistent pattern of entertaining football, aside from one miraculous game here and there. It felt more random than a brand of football.
I don't think it was real.
Just some concocted bo!!ocks as I saw it, and sh!t at that.
Did those players really like playing under him, if so they're as bad as Levy cultists.
Happy to constantly screw up their performances due to bad decision making, and walking away with the money.
i see him more as a dembele type even if that means he has shortcomings too. he's very good at feeling space and turning into it and carrying the ball forward. makes defenses uncomfortable when he's pushing forward with the ball at his feet. he's athletic and instinctual and on his day he's a handful, however he doesn't play at high level week to week and hopefully the right coach and system can get the best out of him more consistently. i think he's a good guy too and wants to do well. i think that about a lot of our squad
i disagree unless you count the cdm role dropping back into defense as 3 atb. rose and walker got forward very effectively but i think the assists were coming from the midfielders. but we did play a pure 3 cb's formation at times that was very good
i don't think ange ball was that entertaining at its best. the inverted fullbacks up where the ten should be never really produced for us and we constantly got ripped to shreds in the space they left behind. even after we parked the bus it was just a war of attrition with the midfielders. no system or plan, just guys digging in and playing their asses off.
Nice video.
This squad is good. It has untapped potential. The players need to be put in positions they’ll excel.
Interesting about all the goalie passes and passes inside their own box. I’m sure our fans won’t be annoyed by that at all

How can you disagree with
Lloris
Toby Dier Jan
Walker Wanyama Dembele Rose
Eriksen Dele
Kane
Basically Poch’s best side. Who knows what could’ve happened if Rose didn’t do his knee halfway through the season.
i preferred wanyama and dier not playing at the same time and bringing on another attacker. i think we were at our best with 4231 and the defensive mid would drop into defense when the fb's got forward. it's kinda horses for courses tho
The sooner they announce Frank, the sooner us lot all start moaning about not signing any players yet. This is textbook Levy. Delay everything possible.
Interest Adam just said that Frank almost joined Liverpool last Summer.
Watt was that?
Part of the fun was taking those stickers to school for "swapsies" with the other kids.I'm 40 now so I'm well and truly into the weird nostalgia phase of life. I've collected pretty much every games console I use to have, but I get real pangs about all my football cards and mini figures I had as a kid.
Somewhere in the last 7-10 years ago - I think it might have been Euro 2016 - I picked up a sticker book from Sainsburys to get back into that, and noticed on the back page it basically allowed you to buy the stickers individually by post. I was outraged until I realised you could always do that. Felt like one of those moments at the end of a film where the main character realised that the killer was someone close to them/they were dead the whole time/the other person didn't exist. All those days doing got/got/need taking a block of Justin Edinburgh, Neilsens, and Clemences to school, when all you actually needed was a few quid and a stamp
The fact that I was 32 at the time didn't seem to matter...
Levy saw Liverpool’a success last season by signing no one …
I think Levy intends to sign Frank on transfer deadline day, and then ask Frank which players he wants.
