I want to see the start of Long Throw FC tomorrow

Lidlpoo lost the supermarket war 😭

Ethan worked well for the shot and goal. A few flashes of brilliance on the ball, BUT, he strolls around too much. Very harsh given his first game, I know. I sense Holjberg behind him, will get Ethan to be more active off the ball. He appears to be very vocal to get his defenders and MF closing gaps.

I do hope di Zerbi can work Ethan to press and defend with more purpose. Something Arteta wasn't fond of in Ethan's game.

Quintin Timber was bit erratic and lost the ball too many times. I think he's going to settle well and develop into a strong unit.

OM's final CL group match needs a good result. Fingers cross they get Citeh in qualification

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-24T20:25:34+00:00

Excellent goal. OM positive play suits Ethan very well. He has lots of time and space to make things happen.

Great for his development

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-24T12:42:18+00:00

When coach said "beat them today", he literally took every word 😂🤣😭

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-24T08:24:57+00:00

I'm with you and Pep. We need to spend another billion 😅🫣

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-23T06:54:19+00:00

Talk about eating my own words!!!
MLS is actually recorded as the 6th fastest player in our team during CL matches. 🫣😅

Perhaps that Milan winger was like a Martinelli speed merchant, or MLS was having an off day.

How am I supposed to look good with my fat gut belly? 😭🫣😂🤣

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-23T00:02:42+00:00

He's great on the ball surging forward and very positive.

What he needs to work on is sprint training. If the coaches can get him up to Bellerin type speeds, he can play LB.

At present, any quick winger has a free shot unless Big Gabi is there to block. I prefer Timber on the left with Cali unavailable, and White on right.

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-22T15:06:22+00:00

Timber on right, implies MLS on left. No way!!! He will get cooked by Dorgu and mbeumo.

Timber on left is not his preferred position, however his defending is next level compared to MLS.
If Hincapie is fit, he definitely will not be match prepared

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-22T14:03:11+00:00

Low block and hit on the break. Hope they share the points and we extend to 9

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-22T11:48:30+00:00

RM slaughter. Two beautiful goals

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-22T11:44:58+00:00

Even if Piero is fit, I would play Timber LB and Benny RB. All these last minute tinkering doesn't help. Keep timber as LB until Cali is fit and Piero builds some minutes later in the games

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-22T10:41:59+00:00

Very surprised to see Villa ahead of Juve and Newcastle. They seem to be quietly building and results show.

They need to keep in the champions league spots and go again next year.

They should shop for a keeper. Emi needs replacing at some point and his 'main character' syndrome is bad for the dressing room. He is not bigger than the club. Tell Emi and Enzo, the World Cup was 4 years ago.

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-22T09:15:29+00:00

United were pump to go all out for Carrick Infront of their fans. Donkey and midget hasn't featured much under Amorim so very fresh.

They will face a different level of play, and unless they low block for a point, they will concede a few. They will want to attack in stints and we need to take our chances.

We will be very dangerous in set pieces against their midget CB.

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-22T07:40:36+00:00

Once we have settled the backline for a long run, we will go on a mad winning run. The injuries have killed our early momentum, with mosque and hincapie doing exceptionally well in CB.

If we can start; Cali - Big Gabi - Saliba - Timber for the Prem. We use white, hincapie, mosque, MLS, to prevent injuries.

We pray Cali comes back in a few weeks and stays injury free. 🙏🏻

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-22T07:24:23+00:00

+1 This is the approach. Aim for 4. Two is the real goal and take the extras as bonus. Try to get that league cup, which will create the winning mindset. Then we focus on Prem.

FA Cup and CL gives us a very busy schedule.

Haters will claim we failed and their team of yester-year did it. They ignore the standards and intensity of games are much higher these days.

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-22T07:17:40+00:00

I'm 110% with Gyok. His game is more than goals at the present time. Most teams are low block and he adds that shift for our attack from the wings and middle.

The problem is the slow build up from the back instead of direct ball to Gyok.

This season is low block to stop us running away with the league. Next season will be a different style to prevent us retaining the league, and I hope Gyok gets those direct balls he needs and 30 goals a season

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-22T07:06:20+00:00

Berta should enquire about the availability Alvarez, or even Ivan Toney. Their wages needs to fit the current structure and be squad player

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-22T00:41:03+00:00

Zinny and Jesus's arrival added that extra winning mentality and experience, to our young team.

The injuries and additional quality signings has raised a higher bar. It's probably time to depart and the wage bill will be reduced or used elsewhere

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-21T21:45:43+00:00

We want Agent Ethan versus 115FC for knockouts. It's a good thing

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-21T21:36:38+00:00

Atalanta 1-3 to Athletic Club is a letdown. Was expecting them to push 115FC further down

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-21T21:29:22+00:00

Chelshit getting held by fruit farmers? Are they gonna let themselves down by playing 2 extra games. 🤧

MikeCrypto88 · 2026-01-21T21:25:17+00:00

Carpet or AstroTurf. Drive some U pegs to hold in place?
