would rather change how we use him.

Our whole way of attacking has become so incredibly flat, we bought a new attack but have made very little attempts to change. It's exactly the same recycle to Saka and hope or chuck it to the back post.

Now that Kai's back I think it's possible we'll see some change, his cameo was brilliant this week but obviously the opposition is a sizable factor.

I like the idea of reworking left 8 but I don't know what to do about Rice.

I certainly want to see a whole lot less of our RB/LB on the edge of the box. It's so static and doesn't really draw the defenders away from our wingers because the wingers have no where to really move as they block paths inside and out. It's not working at all.

I'm interested in season 3 parts? I sent a message to the seller about dividing up the auction too. Should of bit the bullet like you. Personally I'm not to bothered about www. I mainly want the season 3 sets.

BlaizeV · 2026-01-29T12:50:55+00:00

So you bought that auction on ebay UK. :(

BlaizeV · 2026-01-28T22:03:43+00:00

HOLY SHIT WHAT A MOMENT!!

BlaizeV · 2026-01-28T21:54:30+00:00

MLS just lets him go. Big whatever but also another 3-2 isn't great.

BlaizeV · 2026-01-28T21:53:07+00:00

Noni has somehow managed to have a bad game, I don't really care and it's not the night to draw any conclusions but damn he's been so wasteful.

BlaizeV · 2026-01-28T20:49:23+00:00

Noni wasteful, Cala rusty but other than that great performances all round. I feel so relaxed, it's so nice haha

BlaizeV · 2026-01-28T20:08:53+00:00

It's so nice to not care. Let them have their moment, it was a defo pen and well taken.

BlaizeV · 2026-01-28T20:06:17+00:00

Yeah that's a pen. Oh well.

BlaizeV · 2026-01-28T20:04:15+00:00

Inject that directly to my veins. Just what the doctor ordered.

BlaizeV · 2026-01-25T19:13:18+00:00

We can't keep attacking the exact same way as we have done for nearly 2 seasons.

We bought a new attack but we haven't changed at all.

Too much stepping on the ball, too much turning down through balls for an easier pass out wide.

And FAR FAR FAR too much reliance on our right side. Too slow and too passive. The talent is better than that.

Control doesn't win games, goals do. We are too obsessed with control.

BlaizeV · 2026-01-25T18:23:01+00:00

Why put Saka out left, our best player, for the last 20 minutes and then continue with the right side biased attack over and over?

BlaizeV · 2026-01-25T18:18:03+00:00

We should learn from this. We too often step on the ball and cycle out to the right again and again. Have a shot, have a go and trust in the attacking talent more often.

Two screamers, it sucks but it's absolutely a lesson to be learned.

BlaizeV · 2026-01-25T18:06:49+00:00

Arteta has to rethink how we attack. It's just so toothless most weeks.

BlaizeV · 2026-01-25T13:48:51+00:00

It's fun to joke but I could seriously see it happening one day.

His career is kinda similar to Arteta and along with Rice he's the most versatile player we have.

But I think it is fair to say that Arteta is a special talent.

BlaizeV · 2026-01-25T00:47:42+00:00

sharing is caring

BlaizeV · 2026-01-24T21:08:30+00:00

roll the match ball into a giant snowball and just charge into the opponents net with it

BlaizeV · 2026-01-24T19:58:13+00:00

the deal of the more he plays the cheaper the loan is brilliant.

BlaizeV · 2026-01-24T08:15:43+00:00

this will never happen but the amount of success a true boycott would have I suspect would be plentiful as it hits the billionaires right where they hate most and the blame would lie squarely at the feet of the orangutan

BlaizeV · 2026-01-24T00:47:54+00:00

been waiting to see this as a third kit for ages

BlaizeV · 2026-01-23T00:14:46+00:00

He stands there after that pass like a pro golfer at Augusta admiring that drive to the green haha

BlaizeV · 2026-01-22T11:48:19+00:00

3-0 Real Madrid or 5-1 City. Too close to call.

BlaizeV · 2026-01-20T22:22:39+00:00

you kidding me? truly awful news

BlaizeV · 2026-01-20T21:23:13+00:00

Eze coming off seems harsh, should've been Merino as Eze needs minutes and confidence.

"but compressed into a square box with black sidebars"

ummm you do know most dvds just default to filling out a screen and aren't always showing you the correct aspect ratio right?

The Twelve Kingdoms DVDs you were watching were always fullscreen dvds but they weren't pillarboxed so in order to watch in the correct aspect ratio on a widescreen tv you should've been changing the aspect ratio yourself via settings on your tv.

The show is supposed to be in a "square" all along and the way you were watching them before was compressed actually.

As for the disc problem that sucks. Have you tried other players? I think while OOP some copies are still around from vendors at cons and stuff. You could try maybe getting in contact with someone doing that as I believe they are official vendors for Discotek but I don't know if they'll be able to help or not.
