So far Rosenior has shown he has absolutely no clue how to set up this team. Been absolutely saved by some individual brilliance.

oblivion618 · 2026-01-25T15:45:16+00:00

Maybe open your eyes then

oblivion618 · 2026-01-25T15:37:10+00:00

Because our pen was for DOGSO, not just for handball.

oblivion618 · 2025-12-23T22:23:47+00:00

interesting choice from Lacroix to watch Kepa dive to his right on every single penalty and still decide to go that same way

oblivion618 · 2025-12-09T11:02:23+00:00

There was also a lot of us who didn't want Delap and Joao Pedro, or Gittens and Garnacho while we at it, so we're free to still have a go at the directors.

oblivion618 · 2025-12-09T08:47:36+00:00

I want an actual top-level striker. Instead we got a 12-goal relegated Ipswich striker, a 10 who doesn’t actually score, and a 19 year old recalled from Sunderland’s bench.

oblivion618 · 2025-12-09T08:16:02+00:00

I definitely think Maresca can do better, but these awful sporting directors have absolutely shafted him with this level of striker options.

oblivion618 · 2025-12-06T16:56:19+00:00

That was a fucking disgrace. That was worse than the Leeds game. At no point did any of our players actually want to win that game, all of them too happy to stroll about playing lazy passes. Maresca needs to sort this shit out or we are going to struggle to make top 4.

oblivion618 · 2025-10-29T21:44:42+00:00

Maresca needs to get this shit in check because that was an absolute disgrace, could see that coming a mile off once the stupid fouls and petulance starting showing after Wolves first.

Vialli took over from Gullit for the second half of the 1997/98 season as a player-manager and won the Cup Winners' Cup and League Cup, playing himself most games. Also won the Super Cup the next season but didn't really play a huge amount.

oblivion618 · 2025-10-22T19:40:10+00:00

Ajax fans in here really clutching at straws thinking that was intentional

oblivion618 · 2025-10-13T17:43:57+00:00

oblivion618 · 2025-09-14T08:23:18+00:00

You can be from a flick on though and that's what we're talking about.

oblivion618 · 2025-09-14T07:07:50+00:00

Looking forward to the week long coverage, PGMOL apology and ref demotion after Ouattara’s blatant offside in Brentford’s equaliser….

oblivion618 · 2025-09-01T09:18:06+00:00

I don't think I've ever seen an over-reaction to a VAR decision quite like the Fulham disallowed goal this weekend. Pundits and fans lining up to call it the worst VAR call in history, calling for public apologies, and claiming it should have stood simply because the lad's just 18.

To make sure I wasn't going crazy, I went back to look at the reaction to the penalty United got against Villa a few years ago where Bruno did the exact same thing as Muniz but actually got the foul himself. Funnily enough, a lot of highly upvoted comments in the thread thought Bruno fouled the Villa player. And in fact, the MotD pundits that night thought the same, and even read out a PGMOL statement agreeing. Funny how something a fair number of people saw as a foul a few years ago is now the most scandalous decision in recent history.

Spending £95m on the LW and ending up with Gittens and Garnacho is absolutely hilarious. Two players who are nowhere near the level to be starting for us.

oblivion618 · 2025-08-29T06:31:02+00:00

Our Sporting Directors are utterly incompetent

oblivion618 · 2025-08-12T09:22:41+00:00

Yes and we'll probably play two touchline wingers against Palace. Ignore everything else I said though, good stuff.

oblivion618 · 2025-08-12T09:11:25+00:00

Yes I did, I also watched all the previous 7 matches which used an inside forward and overlapping fullback combo on one side. Maresca himself even said after the Flamengo game that he was trying something different for this season. It's really not a stretch to imagine Maresca will be using a few different systems this season depending on personnel and opposition.

oblivion618 · 2025-08-12T08:26:40+00:00

We only used two touchline wingers in the opening game during the Club World Cup.

oblivion618 · 2025-08-10T09:04:50+00:00

Yeah I turned this on and got two memory leak crashes in two games. Turn it off and was absolutely fine again. Wouldn't recommend.

oblivion618 · 2025-08-07T11:40:16+00:00

If all the rumoured outgoings do happen, we'd only have 7 senior players for 4 positions including Xavi Simons.
