April 27, 20242 yr Totally different atmosphere at Everton tonight compared to other night. Speaking of totally different, Kelly Cates looks like a different woman!

Do we need any more tiny Greater Manchester clubs in the EFL? Suppose a decent option to send youngsters to, but that's it.

Bromley would be a straight(ish) swap for Sutton I guess. But I agree about Altrincham being 'yet another' small North West club clogging things up. I'd be happy to see them swap with Salford mind.

April 28, 20242 yr Arsenal definitely aren't the fannies they've been for 20 years these days. Got a proper spine to the team
April 28, 20242 yr said all along Spurs would fade after a bright start can't hear the fans singing Angels now went in way too early on that love in
April 28, 20242 yr There's some really shocking defending in the Premier Leagues these days. Never known it as bad. Pub league shite

Pub league shite Agreed about the defending, it all just seems so weak (Spurs/Liverpool etc). Brighton the other day against City, OMG. I know we all want to see goals but in a strange way it reduces the attraction because it feels less like a team has achieved something great when they score, it can look too easy/handed on a plate. It seemed to change from the time Pep signed a keeper because he was good with his feet 😀 and that became fashionable. It seems like simply not conceding has lost some of its appeal to modern managers.
April 28, 20242 yr Ultimately, so long as you score more than you concede, it doesn't matter. How that's achieved is for individual managers and teams to sort out. Dour, overly conservative play doesn't keep fans on the edge of their seats. However, it's clearly a fashion for teams to play around at the back, which as we know sometimes results in a goal conceded. City are now utilising a long ball more to compensate for teams pressing them, and no doubt it will become fashionable at some point to be a bit more defensive and use the longer ball again if it starts to work regularly.
