Magic Lamps

Terrible from Kante

Still their striker who was clearly pressuring Rüdiger was offside when that ball was played so why did it even stand?

Use of excessive force is basically Sheffield’s style of play

0 strikers on now wow

I really hope TT gets that he is on the wrong horse with Alonso, Jorginho and Rüdiger

Great pass from Chilwell for the assist as well. Curled it past 2 players

Clear handball outside the box from rams dale for that drop kick. No one cares tho nowadays

Brilliant goal. Great play by Timo

Our weird lineup would suggest that we expected sheff to sit back. We could use an extra midfielder here

Get Jorginho off Kante on

Jorginho is terrible as soon as the opposition displays any kind of intensity

Loving how the gop shot itself in the foot by letting trump loose and campaign in Georgia. Lost them the senate after they did so well in the house elections. Also split the gop in two in the process. Finally the voters are calling the ridiculous election fraud strategy as the BS it is.

He has 4.5 years left on his contract. He can’t just leave without fetching a hefty transfer fee

Yeah. this is really why i am considering to quit football altogether. i can not stand this injustice any longer really.... esp given how i hate ManUre. I can deal with other teams winning if they win fair and square, even ManUre but this is just oo much. 11 fkin pens gifted.... add to that all the other pens that have been recalled by VAR despite obvious fouls.At the sametime we have been denied 5 stonewall pens this season and had multiple other bad var decisions that cost us goals. this has just made it all worse

Rewatched the penalty incident and it definitely was a penalty. A clear foul and clearly right on the line of the box. might well have changed the game completely. Another corruped ref classic. Not an excuse for the performance tho

Could not agree more. Have been saying this for quite a while. Lampard had a massive rebuilding job to do and did so quite well. We might not function as a team very well atm but James, Mount, Chilwell, Pulisic, Abraham have made leaps in improvement under him. He has set a precedent for academy players to work for the badge. No other manager in the roman era has managed to inegrate so many so the guys at the academy now at least know for what they playing. Also as you say, he did a stellar job at recruiting some amazings talents, albeit we might not all be seeing them as such right now. Our squad is set up for the future brilliantly despite a transfer embargo and just 18 months after being in ruins.

such a confidence player. Has not been the same after that needless error vs Everton. Channelled his inner Kepa since.

Poor game but expected loss. The quick goals after promising first few minutes broke us. Then with our low confidene completely collapsed. Fail to get full points from the next 4 league games and top4 is gone. Already looking forward to Guus Hiddink as caretaker lol

I remember we got the momentum back after an easy fa cup 3rd round win in 2008 and in 2011. After that Fulham is more of a test but still should be winnable.

Suarez won tons in his career overall tho. a lot of trash trophies and only one club trophy in England but overall he did have a special career.

I agree tho. KDB is a very rare player. Incredible talent but not a showboat. Simply a very creative player with a very straightforward way to play. KDB will probably never win the very big prizes but everyone who saw him play should be able to say what a special player he was.

a welcome game to get back the confidence. is it confirmed it will go ahead tho?

I think it is the Leicester game. A loss today and a win vs Fulham are expected no matter our form. But Leicester is the kind of game we have been struggling with all season. Teams that are good but slightly worse than us and which we should beat in an open game. There we have underachieved massively. If we beat Leicester convincingly It might be a sign of improvement. If we still look clueless, the board may decide to part ways.

It is not even an excuse, it's an attempt to explain the unfathomable. Poor conditioning. Players are expected to be fit when it counts. I can only guess that organizing the coaching staff, training the players, thinking of tactics has all been too much for FL. Obviously this job came way too early. Maybe it would have been best for Lamps to work as assistnat manager for a more experienced coach to build a network and learn about all the aspects of the jobs one after another.

He is definitely not lazy. He just lacks a natural drive. He tracks runners up until our own penalty box at times. He just has not the inner urge to do so all game. also he obviously is low on confidence. People also underestimate what Covid can do to your body. A colleague of mine used to be fit as the butcher's dog, contracted void and is all but a shadow now. Lost serious muscle mass and can not run on a treadmill for even a few minutes.

Confidence makes such a huge difference tho. Fitness too. We were absolutely gassed when we played Arsenal on boxing day and paid the price. Arsenal with a fully rested squad completely overran us. It's incredible how we suck against poor teams.
