Magic Lamps

Has averaged more non pen goals per game than Lukaku during his time in Italy So does Tammy btw

Tbf europa is just as much of a meat grinder given they might very well actually try their with ten Haag valueing that trophy as opposed to incompetence league where they probably would just let it slide

We also gave them the uefa super cup the same way we have lost every domestic final since the 2018 fa cup (Cs 2018) efl cup 2019, 2022 fa cup 2020, 2021,2022 3 of those we lost on pens. Have not scored in Wembley final since 2019 that is almost as bad as Jürgen Klops run of 7 final losses which included 2 CLs on the plus side we won every international final bar that uefa super cup in the meantime and omitting that cup, every major international final in the last 10 years

How often have we hit the woodwork from that angle in the last few years. I remember Emerson did it 3 times and Kai also 3 times

Kenedy is the only man playing for something here

Great assist by Kenedy

The higher the wages and agent fees players demand the more they become replaceable. Sure there will always be once in gen players for which one has to pay over proportionally. But Toni is not one of them.

Haaland to city and mbappe staying away from Madrid highlights la Ligas failure to wrestle back the power from the premier league Like they did in 2009 with Ronaldo and kaka

No point crying over spilled milk Toni have us 10 months of world class performances but as soon as he decided to leave his performance dropped to his level under conte and Sarri.

Don’t expect a lot of activity from us. The new owners still have to find their feet and all sensible clubs are trying to get their business done early as for many other clubs this will be an important summer probably just this kounde tool and a few back ups

We have played so many shiny games this season, fucked up so many chances, conceded so many stupid goals still ended up third shows what a huge gulf in quality there is between us and pool city over a full season its really dangerous cos players will learn that it is ok to be mediocre. You still end up in cl This squad has never developed the grit and determination to give everything each game and even if it goes against you how to force one in and shut up shop. We have given away way too many leads , conceded stupid goals, not been clinical enough to really claim to be an absolute top team even as world champion . The last few weeks have exposed this brutally. The potential is there but we are missing a few truly world class players, quality in depth and the mentality of a champion

That was abysmal Can’t wait to see the back of him also Rüdiger did not cover himself in glory either there

That’s why you don’t want sensitive guys as your striker. We got two in Werner and rom you want someone like Diego Costa but with better technique. Someone who is always mentally stable, has an unshatterable belief in himself, never loses confidence, delivers even after horrible misses and also never doubts his instincts Granted these persons are rare but the greatest goal scorers like Gerd Müller, pele, Ronaldo, Puskas, seeler , Eusebio, romario all very different in style, technical ability and stature, shared this one trait of mental robustness on the pitch above all else

I am travelling and unsure about the time zone a bit. Is the game in 35 mins or an hour and 35mins?

The greatest story in football history that first cl win after so many tries for our greatest generation of players was gigantic i feel it like it was yesterday what a glorious night that was

The expected shit show sell asap

For once we get to take the first shot in a pen shootout and he already surrendered his advantage on the 2nd Not a fitting end for a great servant but end it sooner than later

True we should have won after that save but meh mount really could have won 2 of those finals on his own Wembley used to be our garden back when we had drogs and lamps good old times where you could be sure to win at Wembley pretty much

It is 5 in 6 defeats in domestic finals which is bad enough but it’s not 6 final defeats in pens in a row. If you count super cup we won the second last if not and also not CS the 6th finals pen shootout would date back to Munich

When you don’t score in 4 cup finals In a row you can only blame yourself for not winning any gutted but still expected carbon copy of the elf cup final 3rd pen loss to Liverpool in a row in a final now If we want to improve in those situations we do need a better pen specialist, edou and Kepa are not it

I hope he knows how to give us that extra bit to win these tight matches. I know it he has no direct impact on the pitch but maybe he knows a superior sports psychologist, mentality coach or some methodology to identify clutch players to sign

Huge gulf in quality between those two sides would be surprised if we can hold up

You can bet this drama once more completely derails his momentum. Expect him to sulk and do fuck all vs the dippers

Sounds like a plausible explanation on first read but surely they can just wash em lol Anyway, that iconic 2009 final we won in those yellow shirts with two great goals from Drogs and Lamps in the good old glory days... a thumping header and an intricate outside of the left boot shot from 20 yards Tied with that 2007 extra time winner which also happend to be an brilliant bit of improvised Lamps Drogs co production, Lamps's 2009 winner was the goal FA cup final goal is celebrated the most.

Super crappy source. I hope neither happen. Both would be poor signigns, albeit there is a case for Perisic. I dont think he can make the step up from italy to prem at 33 tho
