Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

Fair play to Fernandes to be honest

Rare to see players jump in the way of the train for the manager like that these days

Olise is terrific, has been excellent but not yet built for week in week out PL games. The fact that Vieira realises this and doesn’t just throw him him shows maturity. Plus Eze is not a winger.

Am I right in thinking Hodgson played Eze deeper than Warburton did at QPR?

I have it in my, admittedly limited, mind that Eze played across the attacking mid positions at Loftus Road but seemed to start from deeper positions under Hodgson.

Yeah, I get your point, but I am not a fan of players or managers going full "mea culpa" to the fans and expecting absolution.

Applaud them for their support by all means, but it's all gone a bit pantomime for my taste. Another thing I blame Klopp for.

I was 11 and is it my memory playing tricks, but I remember it as a Friday evening, is that right?

Yes, that is right. Of course Vieira May start him in a more advanced position and if he switches the shape either Edouard / Ayew / Benteke could be at risk. Under Roy we were “ one shape fits all.”

Appreciate the reply, thank you. I think the lad has such talent he can play pretty much anywhere and be a difference maker. Oh, what it must be to have options.

Where does Eze play then in this system?

Dropping points because you keep sending Ayew out isn't good management either. I think if Olise played week in week out you might be surprised how cut out for it he really is.

You are spot on mate....watched it in the pub after playing 5 a side....absolutely brilliant....scenes ???????

I watched it on tv which was a novelty in itself, because it felt at the time like they only screened cup finals and the odd European cup game. Maybe that was just my mum scheduling what we watched.

I was just about smart enough to understand I had seen something very, very special. I don't think it will ever be bettered as a climax to a season.

Berlin derby is surprisingly chocka.

Are you there?
