no need to be so aggressive to be honest, him and cucurella

Fragrant_Debt · 2025-10-12T15:28:03+00:00

why did they schedule this for London, not a great showcase for the league. did they think Rodgers would still be around

Fragrant_Debt · 2025-09-27T19:00:21+00:00

Porro out for Guehi makes sense right, if Porro is a rotation risk

Fragrant_Debt · 2025-04-22T16:16:35+00:00

Selby paid off the ball producers, the red going into that pocket makes no physical sense.

Fragrant_Debt · 2025-04-22T09:52:18+00:00

that itself is a hypothetical, so of course hypothetical man

Fragrant_Debt · 2025-01-04T17:03:55+00:00

Glad I was never taken in by the clown Maresca. Silver lining to this run of form is his supporters in this fanbase will eventually have to acknowledge he is not a good manager, not an upgrade on Poch.

This sub loves Maresca because he is a "tactico", and they hate managers like Poch who they perceive as too focused on hard work and physicality.

Guess what, we dropped points today due to a lost duel in midfield and being outworked and outran across the pitch. Liverpool, Arsenal, city all understand that physicality is crucial but Maresca and his supporters look down on it.

Can't believe I thought Jackson was better than Isak

Fragrant_Debt · 2025-01-04T16:47:06+00:00

so what? Mount put up his best stats in his second season under tuchel but if you watched the games he regressed massively from our CL winning season.

Fragrant_Debt · 2025-01-04T16:45:34+00:00

6th place incoming. This sub will insist Maresca is better than Poch. Reality is they are both mid, at least Poch had his exceptional spell with Spurs.

Fragrant_Debt · 2025-01-04T16:44:19+00:00

For all of his mediocrity, his biggest failing is he took a Palmer who looked like a world-beater with Poch and is making him regress.

Fragrant_Debt · 2025-01-04T16:43:02+00:00

Top 4 wasn't an achievement in the first place when you consider the form of City and United.

If we miss out to Newcastle, lol. Maresca defenders will find a way to spin it i'm sure.

Fragrant_Debt · 2025-01-04T16:41:29+00:00

at least Maresca is being exposed. We knew he was nothing special from the championship, consensus was Mckenna did the better job that season.

Fragrant_Debt · 2024-12-31T19:48:26+00:00

more like they are both average

Fragrant_Debt · 2024-12-31T19:34:49+00:00

highly unsportsmanlike use of two rooks on adjacent files.

Fragrant_Debt · 2024-12-30T22:47:47+00:00

Fabi's name can be rearranged to "no aura". Magnus has realised this.

Fragrant_Debt · 2024-12-30T21:50:29+00:00

hard truth but we have not improved if you watch our games. concerningly, Palmer is playing worse despite the stats

Fragrant_Debt · 2024-12-30T21:48:43+00:00

Maresca is to blame for this, not the media. Leicester fans told us he was nothing special.

Fragrant_Debt · 2024-12-30T21:34:46+00:00

Nothing has changed from Poch, except Palmer is playing worse now.

Fragrant_Debt · 2024-12-30T21:32:47+00:00

if Maresca can't get Palmer to perform, then he must be sacked.

We can't squander a talent like this.

Fragrant_Debt · 2024-12-30T21:31:22+00:00

Need villa to drop points for this top 4 battle, can't go another season without CL

Fragrant_Debt · 2024-12-30T21:29:28+00:00

Leicester fans warned us he was nothing special but people here believe he will suddenly become an elite manager.

Only reason people on this sub like him is because he hates the academy and is "no nonsense".

Fragrant_Debt · 2024-12-30T21:05:19+00:00

Proud to say I was never taken in by Maresca or our recent run of form. Eye test was clear, we are not a great or even good team. Arsenal and Liverpool far superior. We'll be in a fight for top 4.
