M42Owl Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 So first weekend and five of the “big six” on TV. Unless you count Newcastle as the new Spurs, then it’s 6/6. Same old. Man City for the title again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reesh Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 @Tylluan Ar menia making qualification tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylluan Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 We were shit, simple as. The formation was wrong, the tactics were wrong, the ideas were wrong and the attitude was wrong. Playing basically a 4-1-1-4 in the hope of overwhelming them with pace and keeping them pushed back came up against a well organised midfield 4 who strolled through the middle of the park and fed their front 3. Having lost Bale, Page now has a fanboy crush on Ramsey to the point of thinking he can do the Declan Rice role but that left Ampadu horribly exposed and sometimes wondering which one of 3 players he was supposed to pick up. Against Croatia and Latvia Ramsey played as a 10 but for some stupid reason he was played as a 4 against Armenia. Said after the last World Cup that Page had to go. That we were better off scratching this Euros qualification in order to build a younger team for a go at the next World Cup. But there's now a (false) expectation that we should be qualifying for major tournaments and Page kept his job after scraping a 93rd min draw against a Croatia side that couldn't hit a barn door with a cannon and should have been 10-0 up before half time. Then we had a heroic 1-0 at home against the mighty Latvia. If we get gubbed against Turkey, on Monday, then maybe that weight of qualification expectation will force Page out before the games against South Korea and Latvia in September.

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 One voice we won't hear on Sky coverage is Martin Tyler who is leaving commentary duties after 30 years. On the basis he seem to annoy Liverpool fans then he will be sadly missed 😄 Always seemed a decent commentator, certainly don't see how the likes of Motson or Clive Tyldesley were any better. And for some reason Peter Dreary gets a lot of plaudits Anyway I am sure Sky have the appropriate replacement lined up, what is Diane Abbott up to these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrolMong Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I’d want a year of him playing that role at Liverpool before I get carried away about him in an England shirt. But, I saw a fair amount of him playing there for Liverpool at the end of last season, and it suits his skillset, he was very good. Perhaps a natural replacement for Henderson for club and country in a couple of years time. There isn’t a player like him in the squad that has that range of passing. Maddison needs a big club, as much as I like him, when it mattered at the end of the season for Leicester, he went missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Sky and indeed BT doing a lot of cost cutting behind the scenes. A lot of the reporter's who go on screen on Soccer Saturday have been culled Though given Sky spend hundreds of millions on getting the games in the first place, this all seems small beer savings Be interesting how the next round of TV rights goes. At some stage the Premier League could go direct to customer, but I am not convinced it would work. Whilst I pay primarily for the sport it does come part of a TV bundle. I appreciate the IPTV argument but ultimately if no one pays for content then there will be no content Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Wolves have sold Ruben Neves to Al Hilal for £47m. Not bad for a player with one year left on his contract. But you know football is fucked when a 26 year old is off to Saudi for the money. I wonder if it'll come crashing down after the Saudi's get bored with it after their world cup bid.
