They’ll be punching horses afterwards

It’s a nightmare early season fixture for sure. We’re nowhere near settled, their fans are frothing at the mouth and they have a team (mostly midfield really) of cynical, dirty cunts.
I’ll take any kind of win and no injuries…just get out of there. It’s not a game for Konate to be fucking about in either.

Macca. He's not 100% fit yet by all accounts. We want Slobby's energy and then we can bring Macca in for a second push later in the game, either for Slobby or Wirtz.
Tbh if you took the 2nd part of the sentence off, I thought he was implying they'd be punching horses round the city. But no. There's deffo some animal penetration mentioned
Ironically, he'd be up against Barnes or Elanga this time around as Gordon now seems to be their only player capable of playing up front
Absolutely. It's annoying. Awful timing but is what it is. Just need to ensure we beat arsenal the week after
Dunno the Saudis seem to have an inferiority complex against us, though the crappy cup final might have given them some belief. I don't think anger over Isak will help them much.
I'm hopeful that after another full week of training, Slot will have plugged the gaps and given Konate and Kerkez an earful. Everyone will be getting close to full fitness too, so we might not have to sub off Ekitike, Mac, Frimpong etc. The subs looked so disorganised last week, which is a theme for Slot - bringing on the first lot of subs then tweaking it ten minutes later after we go to shit.

I know sweet Football Association about such things, but can't the mods ban them as they crop up?
Who's a bot and who's not tho?
I can't be banning all newbies just flag them if they're obv not real

It's not about him putting one on him, it's him diving in and getting a card, or diving in and getting bypassed. The alternative though is Robbo who will do the same by just being old and past it.
No way I'd put Szobo up against that midfield over even an 80% fit Macca.
That’s what I’d pick…no way Slot drops Mo though
Slot out
Yeah, dropping the best player in the league, who, in the last game, set up the winning goal and scored another. Sounds like a fantastic idea.
He’s not the best player in the league, he just isn’t…and he didn’t set up the winning goal in that game either, but whatever…
Way I see it is some games require a different formula to get over the line.
Against Newcastle we already know what we’re in for, they’re practically the same team as last season minus Isak (at the moment), we need to keep it tight…..we do that by keeping the ball better (Szobo>Salah), by competing for and winning more duels (Szobo>Salah) and having more willing runners to track back and do the dirty work (Szobo>Salah), we’re good enough to beat these without having to start Mo (whose minutes need to start being managed better now that Afcon’s around the corner), Mo can be last week’s Chiesa…although I’d suspect we’ll already be in a goal or 2 lead by then, so maybe Mo can be last week’s Mo.

I mean, he was miles better than anyone last season, I can't think of who would have come close, he's goal and assists numbers were insane, not sure if theres been many seasons like it.
On setting up the winning goal, maybe a little stretch, but the ball he played in was extremely dangerous and caused havoc, and the goal wouldn't have happened without it. I'd say it was more of an assist than a lot of ones counted as assists.
Sometimes I think Dreamy ends up making people believing the opposite of the truth.
