Vesper 30,297 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) Leão is such a beast played a part in the first two goals and then in the 97th minute sprinted a good part of the length of the pitch, past much of the Empoli team and scored the clincher Edited October 1, 2022 by Vesper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have a proper midfield combo, so that's impossible for the man to do. Blue Armour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicway 1,333 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Lucky break in the betting yesterday. Backed L'pool against Brighton draw or away and doubled with Atalanta. As Brighton went 2-0 up and as the match ended in a draw, both the away case and the draw case counted as wins. Then I had to watch Atalanta's match yesterday against Fiorentina. Atalanta won by 1-0 but my reason for writing this is that I really liked their long ball system. They 're not something special like Real Madrid but they have fast forwards who can withstand some tough marking plus the long passing they do reminds of Cesc. It's the system CFC has to adopt now I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have to somehow keep AC Milan and their attack at bay over 2 games (4 points) to have any hope of reaching the knockout stages. Not the best time for a new manager to come in and take over as the players are still getting used to his tactics and we have key players carrying injury concerns (Kovacic still doesn't look 100%, Kante is only back in training, Jorginho looked like a 40 year old on the pitch vs Palace). Hopefully we can sneak a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Not just the ECL but all competitions, we just do not have anywhere near a settled side. A core of 5 or 6 players that are the first on the team sheet, I can't even think of one Constantly changing the back 3, and the Midfield and the front 3. And I struggle to find any quality in our whole squad. Plus we've got a rookie manager in when the season had already started, nothing detrumental about him, I like him, but they should have carried on with Tommy. As regards this game I can't see us getting anything from it, especialy with Olly and Tomori looking to make a point. Anyone care to have a stab who he's going to start with tonight. bluephoenix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,889 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Going to be extremely tough. Not sure if Potter can afford to experiment by changing system against Pioli. Have to play one system and stick it to get some sort of consistency. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your optimism. I would like to stay optimistic but everytime I stay optimistic the worst happens so happy being a pessimist.( I was optimistic TT would turn our season around, he got sacked. Before that I was optimistic that TT would be our Pep or Klopp who would lead to many successful seasons and it came to crashing halt) 🤷♂️ bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
