Palfy

I salute you Sir, I’m currently away golfing so have not been able to keep my posts up, which should have come as a relief to you all

My first choice of Lampard all of a sudden doesn’t seem so bad now does it

He has tactics ? Well that’s unusual for us to pick a manager with tactics get him in and let’s see what happens.

He can kick as many cats as he wants but if he harms a puppy I’ll knock him out

But he is obviously the better at doing it or he wouldn’t be given the responsibility, I would like to think the managers we have had whether good or bad would pick the best options available for all team scenarios at there disposal, it surely can’t be just coincidence that they have all given Gylfi that responsibility, that would tell me he’s proven he’s the best in the team at dead ball situations, or would you rather they all chose a player with lesser abilities in that area to suit your argument on fluffy stats.

My analogy of Beckham was in response to Bailey who believes that people who take the dead ball situations are somehow fiddling their stats and any number of players could do the same, anyone who’s played football at a decent level would respect a player with the ability to deliver a decent ball, to be able to bend a ball over or around a wall to have the confidence and belief to take pen after pen, of course it can’t be the only reason you are picked to play, but it has and still does form a large percentage of some players games, and it does for Gylfi when playing for us rightly or wrongly at this moment in time we don’t have another player in the team to truly replace him, that’s why I believe he will get an extension to his contract unless a viable replacement is found before that time arises. Do I think Gylfi is good enough no not really but I could also mention another 5-6 that aren’t good enough, but the reality is they play because we have no one better to replace them, hardly the fault of the players that lays squarely at the feet of others.

Favre now being considered a manager of 63 years old who got the sack and hasn’t won anything of note, what concerns me is most will get behind that if it means no Benitez or Martinez, for me that would be a massive backwards step and I’d take either of the other 2 over him.

It should also tell you that they are the best player in the team for dead ball situations, I would hardly call it fluffing up the stats. There are plenty of players who’s stats would look completely different if they didn’t take the free kicks corners and penalties, Beckham springs to mind and let’s say currently Ward-Prowse, take those attributes away from them and they would look very average in the stats department.

What a goal for Hungary they would give us more problems than the Germans.

My banner will be saying Moshiri out, I beginning to feel we have become a toy for Moshiri and Usmanov, they couldn’t get their real target of Arsenal so we drew the short straw and have become their entertainment, between them they have billions so the odd few hundred million they are playing with here means fuck all to them, they could live their lives over 100 times over and not be able to spend their money. They seem to be playing their own game of football manager.

I don’t think it is mate Moshiri and Usmanov want him, Brands and others want Martinez.

Moshiri at his best again.

It’s completely meaningless talk that doesn’t change a thing bar make him feel good about himself.

I’d be fairly confident that we will beat Germany if we get them on Tuesday, we haven’t been playing to our best but neither have the Germans, difference being I believe we have a better group of players to turn it around than Germans have.

Martinez is looking favourite according to the Mail with most of the board backing him, except Moshiri who wants Benitez even though their could be a huge backlash from many supporters he’s still digging in for him. I think it might be safe to say our next manager could well be Spainish, but who is anyone’s guess at this moment.

UNESCO should have been part of the Brexit deal then at least something good would have come out of it.

Ok so let’s say he up sticks gets on his camel and heads off to Saudi Arabia, were does that leave us he hasn’t been playing because he’s the worst player in his position in the team, we’ve got no one of any real quality to take his position, he will get a extension mainly due to we’ve got nothing else in reserve.

We would be happy to have you mate, the forum is a better place when you stand by your beliefs and don’t run with the crowd

It could be a Brand’s and Big Dunc calibration picking the team for the first few games at this rate

Are they funded by a global fund from say the United Nations or self funded, decided to check and they are pretty much funded by the UN and countries who can contribute more, so nations or countries fund them so they can have the pleasure of being fucked over by them at a later date.

More people come to Liverpool for the Beatles and football I expect than because it’s a UNESCO site, I’ll probably get slaughtered for saying that from the culture vultures

just seen this, I’m gonna give Greece ago next see ya soon

When Southgate first took the job he was prepared to play players that were inform no matter what their perceived status was, now he’s gone for the so called names even when they are seriously out of form. But you’re right he’s doing to show who’s boss.

A few stories popping up in the last couple of hours that he will be heading back to Madrid.

I hate that when pundits criticise a player mostly in unison and the manager who should surely have seen the same, decides that he will back the player publicly so that he has backed himself into a corner, now he’s going to struggle to do what’s right for the team because he’s publicly chosen to back one player over the team. Southgate is an idiot not because he intends to play Kane but because he published it when he didn’t need to, when he should be open to all options until the day of the game.
