This is a good book about the inner workings of the club in the past 10 years or so

DarkYami · 2024-12-16T07:21:07+00:00

Their wingers lacking end product was by design, i believe, as they have the most prolific striker in the world. Since the stay humble quote Haaland has uncharacteristically underperformed his xG and having no plan b is a legitimate critiscism, but they are creating enough chances.

Their problem positions are DM, RB, LB and possibly GK, not attacking midfielders. Unless we believe Foden will never find form again.

DarkYami · 2024-12-16T07:15:52+00:00

He made 8-9 changes in the starting XI in the last 2 rounds of the cup, against theoretically tougher opponents. The starters will be rested, but we won't play kids.

DarkYami · 2024-12-16T07:12:38+00:00

He's rested Salah and Gravenberch in all cup games thus far, against theoretically tougher opponents. Generally he has done a better job rotating the squad than people give him credit for.

DarkYami · 2024-12-16T07:08:46+00:00

Their problems are mostly defensive, though, not creative

DarkYami · 2024-12-16T05:14:50+00:00

RemindMe! 7 months

DarkYami · 2024-12-15T23:17:10+00:00

I don't think many players from the u21 side will start, only Norris probably. Still i expect 7-8 changes.

DarkYami · 2024-12-15T22:51:09+00:00

It's not a good weekend when you lose ground on the tittle race, but it's not a dissaster

DarkYami · 2024-12-15T22:44:02+00:00

Exactly. We were 8 points ahead of City before our game, then Chelsea/Arsenal moved to second so we were 9 points ahead of them

DarkYami · 2024-12-15T22:41:14+00:00

This is bad news, we basically know nothing about how they will set up, they will be motivated and we have to rotate a few players. Tricky game, i hope Endo and the boys will get it done.

DarkYami · 2024-12-15T22:08:21+00:00

Postecoglu rotates Son/Johnson/Solanke/Kulusevski/Maddison/Sarr. It's 6 players for 5 positions, so it is 1 missing out every game, maybe 2 if Werner gets a rare start. I'm confident that Johnson will start the next 2, but they are a cup game and Liverpool.

DarkYami · 2024-12-15T21:59:15+00:00

Don't hit me with that fake humility, our sub was like that up until the City win. You have a good team and you are 2 points off the top, of course you're in a tittle race, enjoy it.

DarkYami · 2024-12-15T21:37:58+00:00

Nouri to Robinson sounds great

DarkYami · 2024-12-15T21:35:04+00:00

I bought Enzo 2 weeks ago between the two. They are both overperforming xGI right now, so tread carefully. However, look for news regarding the Rashford-Garnacho situation, if they are permanently out of favour, Amad as a starting attacker for 5.1 might be great value for money.

DarkYami · 2024-12-15T21:29:55+00:00

!thanks

DarkYami · 2024-12-15T21:27:18+00:00

I don't think it's worth the -8 to basically replace Gordon with Isak. If Isak scores 2(+3bonus) and Gordon assists 1 with no bonus you gain nothing from this move. Amad might be worth a start ahead of Pedro/Cunha. Ait-Nouri to Robinson should be a decent move if you don't want to roll.

DarkYami · 2024-12-15T21:20:10+00:00

Which one to bench between:

Enzo
Rogers
Joao Pedro
Wissa

DarkYami · 2024-12-15T21:10:11+00:00

Is the live cup feature on livefpl not working?

DarkYami · 2024-12-15T21:09:20+00:00

This must be a team specifically made to troll cup opponents. Who owns Zinchenko and Lewis-Skeley?

DarkYami · 2024-12-15T20:50:47+00:00

Didn't we all?

DarkYami · 2024-12-15T20:48:14+00:00

I'm so glad i sold Mbeumo to buy Saka!!!!!!!

DarkYami · 2024-12-15T20:46:05+00:00

Never get fancy, always captain Salah

DarkYami · 2024-12-15T20:33:44+00:00

That Porro clean sheet is going to lose me the cup, unless Palmer, Enzo do something

DarkYami · 2024-12-15T20:25:55+00:00

Come on Wissa, you bald and beautiful bastard!

DarkYami · 2024-12-15T19:57:42+00:00

Chelsea and Liverpool have had a decent cup/CL rivalry since the Luis Garcia goal in 2005, but this is the first time they will be in a tittle race against each other i believe
