Magic Lamps

Big Ed also got the award for best goalie of the continent 🤩

Well done congrats Senegal and big Ed

Good save Mendy

What a poor pen

Lol Mendy the duck was crucial

Lol someone already edited the Wikipedia article accordingly

Egyptian gk already celebrating and rightly so Senegal failed to win this in 120mins, now will succumb to their fate Only one way this is gonna end

Reportedly it's Barcelona for Süle(by bayerninside.de) but I don't quite believe it yet. His agent said, the new club will definitely play CL which would discard Barca, us and most top clubs apart from ManCity and Real, psg and maybe inter. All of which have not even been properly linked with him.

The games vs Brazilian sides were often close tho would expect Europeans to be even more dominant but the occasion, travel, artificial pitches, climate is the challenge and brings the competitions closer together. Cwc matches usually horrific to watch Still surprised how often the South American team got dumped in the semis Even by shit teams like Casablanca and al ain we will still face palmeiras tho al ahly are absolute tosh

I think Werner had way worse runs but Lukaku is just terrible i am afraid tt is forced to play Lukaku due to the price tag and maybe internal pressure tho it’s not that Lukaku didn’t try today or didn’t get balls he just is not any better than what we saw today . With more luck he could have scored but that is all he is about. Getting lucky against shit teams to squeeze in a few shots every once in a while. basically like that fraud who said he was abedi pele’s cousin. Even he scored a few goals in pro football despite not even having had a football education by a licensed club. A fraud defender will get skinned 10 times per game but a fraud striker can get away with it for a full career

Al ahly to beat palmeiras lol this match today could not be more irrelevant

Will boycott the whole thing

I don’t quite believe we made all attacking signings on a hunch / the best shiny toy. On paper Timo and Werner would have been ideal for the Lampard system just lost all their form after a few games. not our scoutings fault I would say Kai was clearly the shiny new toy tho . We signed him up and asked questions later puli was a marketing gag lukaku just a brain dead signing . Made me lose all faith in the boards sanity again. i would go the aforementioned way. Sign quality defenders or defensive midfielders for big money if necessary but get all attackers on the cheap or from the development squads . On average the goals output between guys like Tammy, broja will be not too different from the big money guys

TTs Covid infection comes at the worst time February will decide whether the season will be a failure or success Just hope he recovers before the cwc final

It is his first season in English football tho. Most defenders struggle with he pace and intensity. He is still Young. Rather have him than Alonso on the pitch. Don’t want sarr to stay here long term but as a short term fix we have to accept his shortcomings are the lesser evil

Read the slow run up perfectly and got down at the right moment. Roughly two thirds of slow or short run ups go to the shooters outside, less powerful side

Both teams are crap, about the level of Plymouth but we saw how this went. Also they travel less so we will be the rustier side again

Kepinho will need him when we inevitably get to pens at the cwc so it’s good he got his confidence up

Our attackers are all absolute pish defenders saving the day again. Wingbacks/fullbacks are our most important players in attack. It’s no coincidence. When rj and chilly come back we will score more again but might not be enough First Alonso goal since half a year Azpi since 1 y

Basically an average PL level lb. Don’t see much wrong with him. Surely better than Alonso

on loan yeah. the kind of deal newcastle struck with villa for targett would have been perfect for us. Should not impede our future plans come summer. But our board is just incompetent. Anyway. The one deadline day signing we made, this kid from charlton, does look somewhat promising in the clips i saw of him. Athletic wih a touch for goal, good body control and mobility despite his lanky frame. Still super raw tho. Averages a goal every 100mins this season, not too shabby. The development teams will have fun with him

Newcastle getting a fairly competent lb in targett on loan - deal which would have suited us to a t- while we can't even get back Emerson is taking the piss

If we give a Kenedy a shot at LWB, then i will grudgingly accept that. but if we send him out on loan again and decide to either run Alonso into the gorund or switch to back 4 when he physically cant run anymore I am seriously done with the board. We cant make our tactical set up depend on the fitness of a certified snail.

Schlotterbeck basically confirmed he will got to Bayern by saying he definitely wants to stay in Germany Germany but wants to make a step up. Bayern will probably for him, both AC and Schlotterbeck. At this rate, i think it is more probable Azpi stay than AC but probably both will leave...

Would make us kind of lopsided but I think you hit the nail on the head. This is what it will look like at fist. Has the advantage that we can slot back and forth to a back 5 fluently during matches with sarr reverting to lcb and the lw becoming the lwb
