MACCA75's latest activity

But this isn't the same team. Young, Doucoure, Harrison, Lindstrom, DCL and Mangala took part (starter or sub) in nearly 200 matches put together. Alcaraz partially covers Doucs (partially, because he too played in 16 matches already) and Barry...

As it stands we’re playing a pretty dangerous game of “let’s hope we get no injuries and our starting XI can be flogged for 100 minutes every week without tiring”. A player like Gana will need to have his minutes managed much more this season if...

The only thing for me was this insistence to wait till the end of the season to start contract negotiations. It may have had absolutely no bearing on the our current transfers situation,but i felt nipping all that in the bud when we got safe...

I personally think Leeds and Sunderland will make a fist of it this season.

We can compete, people are just hoping that we'll add more quality to make us better, it's not that surprising surely? We know we had a decent run for a while and yes it would be great if that happened again at the start of the season, but it's...

We have no right side whatsoever right now... expect we will end up seeing JOB at right back again. Gana and Garner in the midfield (latter nowhere near good enough). You know as well as I do with everton we will get knocks during pre-season and...

Hate this let's judge come 1st September.... why can we never do things before? 1 month now till our first game of the season, and as far as I can see we have no reliable links to any new additions. God I hope I am wrong as those 1st 3 games in...

Strange one with Wan-Bissaka there

When you say "we" I think you mean 'Thelwell'. Obviously he was behind Alcaraz and I'd like to assume if he had stayed we'd be after Wesley (again), same club of course, Flamengo. Reading between the lines, was Wesley one of those Moyes...

Given that games regularly exceed 96-100 minutes due to VAR, this would give them even more time added-on. I think the plan is to turn our football into American football so they can finally get adverts into the broadcast.

In fairness that particular change would more likely positively affect you than negatively. If you're away at a Sky 6 ground they're probably more likely to get a pen than you, and now you only have to save the initial pen, not worry about...

The least var is involved in the game the better really, penalties and offsides, no more, the game is stop/ start enough with all the play acting as it is at the moment.

So stupid of an idea

What next? If you don’t score from a corner or free kick then the game stops? Let’s just have it as a series of dull set plays like American Football. I’m sure Dyche would love it.

Instead of bringing in new rules they should focus on fixing the rules they already have in place, and maybe start punishing teams that blatantly ignore the rules.
