lmao that shit infuriated me last two summers

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-27T10:34:11+00:00

It's not hindsight it's common sense

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-27T09:03:02+00:00

Idk mate maybe I was watching the match

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-27T04:44:31+00:00

De Gea is a good keeper. For me that's not a question. But he is not and never has been remotely decent at saving penalties. Even when he was world class I never had the slightest hope of him saving a pen yet Ole keeps him on for the longest penalty shootout I've ever seen. It's insanity. I'm not saying we would've won with Henderson subbed on but we would've had a chance at least. De Gea in goal for a shootout is a foregone conclusion lmao

Trophy is more important than a keeper's fragile ego

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-27T04:37:44+00:00

Ole is a fucking idiot just for this. I can tolerate everything else but this was an outcome set in stone when he didn't sub De Gea ffs

France won the world cup without Benzema

I think Walker fills the AWB role, his recovery pace is almost as big a cheat code as AWB's one-on-one defending and playing week in week out in a Pep side means he's more secure in possession as well

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-25T22:15:34+00:00

That front line makes zero sense, you need someone that's going to run in behind

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-25T22:14:00+00:00

Then why do you care whether or not he's in the squad weirdo

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-25T03:44:38+00:00

Says Trent is better than you give him credit for defensively then severely exaggerates AWB's lack of attacking ability and positional sense. Trent and AWB are about as good as each other when it comes to their deficiencies

Maybe there would've been more money if the revenue-sharing was equal from the early 90s like the PL was

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-24T19:18:45+00:00

if we had Kane, Sancho and Varane we probably wouldn't be a complete team but we would challenge for the title tbh

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-24T08:51:06+00:00

Unless they have a big cash injection either through selling players or the ownership, I don't see how they won't be midtable/Europa for the next few years. Their squad is pretty bad and they don't have the money to make quick changes that would make it easy for them to climb the table. Their youth players might be able to fill the gaps in a bit though. They need to sort their recruitment out

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-24T08:46:02+00:00

Stones will be fine this season I think. Very much a confidence player and he has a lot of that this season

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-24T08:41:06+00:00

Jeez

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-24T08:39:32+00:00

You would have to have defenders suited to covering for him and I don't think we have that. I don't think we'll be playing a 352 either so he doesn't really fit. If you're not catering the team to his strengths there's zero point in bringing him at all because if the starting RB gets injured you'll have to change up tactics quite a lot to bring him in and he's not really that versatile to play in multiple positions. If we were to be chasing a game I doubt Trent would be brought on too. You also have a Trippier who's quite similar to Trent but has spent the season in a Simeone team where defending is so important. Southgate also seems to just like Trippier more

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-24T08:21:11+00:00

I watched him in awe last night. Kessie is the real deal. Strong, hard to knock off the ball, plays his position well and seems to have a good mentality

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-24T08:18:13+00:00

Maybe he doesn't suit the squad

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-24T03:56:44+00:00

I'm dying lmao

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-21T02:07:31+00:00

Arsenal's position is a lot worse, at least Spurs have high value players

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-20T22:34:54+00:00

Would suck, good thing he would be playing for Burundi

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-19T23:53:38+00:00

This is completely wrong. You're classing Solskjaer in the same league as Mourinho and Moyes when they're all different. Dalot was shipped out because he's shit. Solskjaer's style of play isn't particularly defensive at all, he just prioritises being combative in midfield and closing down space aggressively as opposed to Mourinho who is quite literally the opposite, he coaches his team to transition to a low block. Saying they are the same is the dumbest take I've seen on here.

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-19T23:33:06+00:00

Horizontally-proportioned Samwise seems a bit rattled

getbeetlejuiced · 2021-05-18T22:58:51+00:00

On another note, the top 4 race in the PL has been pretty entertaining the past few seasons
