He has been a fabulous addition. He is so dangerous when he whips a ball into the box

I agree. The upside of it is as poor as he was today, getting torched on the wing, and being a step off and getting to the ball and attack and his passes, cost us the game. Hopefully when he goes back and watches film, it will be some teaching moments that he can improve on in the future. I...

Sounds like we are doing everything well....but finishing. Ugggg

Manager knows best, but as I fan I think we have these needs - A wind first of all Rest - maybe Kenny, but that can come Saturday Playing time (sharpness & fitness)- Baines, Bernard, Schneiderlin, Stek Playing time (development & experience) Holgate, Lookman, Dowell, Joao Virginia And honestly...

Mina won't help on the corners, all they have to do is have the smallest player on the pitch come step on his foot...

Has Beni Bangingime gone into witness protection?

Dinge, Kenny, everyone else. That our LB and RB were the best two on the pitch...that's not good, even if they were. I really like Holgate and want him to succeed, but a 6'0 140lb CB..he just not big enough against physical teams.

Agreed. I'd be fine with the crackdowns, if they lasted more than a couple weeks. Last year or 2 years ago, they were going to crackdown on the crowding the ref after calls. And like the Niasse thing, they called it once or twice early, and then dropped it.

I think generally, if a player dives, it would be called on the spot, if it wasn't it would be because the ref was playing advantage. In that case, the offending player wouldn't be scoring or providing an assist, because his infraction created the advantage for the other team. And if it didn't...

You may be on to something. The shorter Barkley wore his hair the better he was. When it was practically shaved, he bossed the midfield.

Agreed, and how many steps you get before traveling is called seems to depend on your position and your all-star status. The sport is unrecognizable at time.

I wish FIFA would simply expect, or demand, the referee's enforce the Laws of the Game as they are written. I mean the ref should have SOME latitude, but - Simulation is a yellow card. Hand them out like candy - The captain talks to the ref. If the ref calls the captain aside, and 3 more...

At this rate we may as well have Unsworth step in for this match, he is the only one that's going to know most of the players names.

We should never sign another Irish player who is, or may be, an international. Killing us! Disclaimer - I love a potato, U2 is my favorite band, and I gave both of my daughters Irish names, so no disrespect meant to the Irish people or players.

For some reason he always appears to be bigger/thicker CB than he actually is. I think he is usually listed around 6'1-6'2 and 180lbs or so. Maybe it's because he is next to Holgate who is what, 145lbs soaking wet? He really isn't and "bigger" than Jags, just a little taller. Mina is going to...

I would love in a couple of years to see Robinson pushing Digne like Digne is pushing Baines.

How many American leftbacks to we need on the books. Is having 2 even allowed?? lol

Then clearly it wasn't a corner kick.....

The biggest takeaway I got from the broadcast, is that every single one of we American Blues was skipping a bit of work today haha

Guys on radio seemed to talk most about JJK and Dinge playing well, and sounded like Holgate made a lot of mistakes - but listening to them is still very different than watching it and making a judgement. Hearing people say that Davies and Dowell played pretty well is surprising, because I...
