At Anfield we have next to no chance of winning. We drew at home with them so we can on our day give them a game. I have no idea how the neutral ground will work. I just hope we turn up for that.

Two points on that. 1) It seems to be a recurring theme. 2) Forest have the lowest possession of any team in the PL. (note: the second half may have increased their percentage 😂)

I also agree. Tonali is hopefully fit anyway. If Miley carries on his trajectory then we have a real talent on our hands. I actually said to my 10 year old boy recently. ”if you want watch a player for tips, look at Miley. He makes the game look so easy and always has time on the ball” if he can start physically imposing himself and mixing his game up then he’ll be a diamond.

Macron had to swallow some of that shit as well. Basically tickling his balls to keep him hard.

I watched a lot of that press conference yesterday. They started taking questions and Trump asked someone called Brian for the opener. To paraphrase: ”Mr President, I see you are 9 points up in the Harvard polling. what’s your comment on this.” It couldn’t have been a more obvious planted question.

It’s possible. We got a lot of injuries from running full belt for 3 games a week last season. The problem is we don’t have the setup to suddenly drop intensity yet keep the ball. Perhaps that is what Eddie is trying to work towards but we really struggle to just keep possession. We don’t have the GK or the defence to do it. Liverpool have moved away from the Klopp hard press and seem to just control games more now without ever picking up any injuries.

What’s the feeling with the trump voters. Are they still all on board with his bat shit plans? I binned X a while ago so not sure what the vibe is.

Don't worry, we'll start using the xP total as the real table in the 2025-2026 season. Its the only way to be fair.

If we don't get to the magical 3 XP do we not deserve it? Therefore it's an official draw and we both take home 1 point each.

The Stats war of 2025 begins. It's been a while.

Stats porn.

Surely it’s just a derivative of xG?

Aye. It’s almost worth just throwing the Liverpool game as we are never going to get anything. It might also not reveal our hand for Eddies master plan at Wembley.

Ah, my mistake.

How can an XG be 0.69 when they had two absolute tap ins? 😂

Assist on his debut in a 3-2 victory.

I don’t think we’ll playing out from the back much v Liverpool so I’d keep him in. I just hope he has all the rust out of his system and has a worldie to keep the score down to 5.

It would be tempting to say that our CBs are getting old and we need some pace and power back there but then the lack of midfield press and control exposed them massively. I’ve ran out fingers counting how many times Schar has attempted the 60 yard switch ball only for it land perfectly to an opposition player 20 yards out. Surely the management is telling him to cut this out? Burn looks like he was targeted in the second half. Let him have the ball then press him. Seems simple.

6-0. Nunez with all 6.

“have you signed that new deal yet Martin?” ”Yes, Eddie” ”BENCHED”

It’s a good job he plays for best team in the country as well. He’d get absolutely destroyed if he played for Ipswich. Liverpool can afford to play him. Like Real Madrid will as well. He is awesome going forward.

It won’t have an affect on Liverpool game as they always tonk us but it is a general worry for the rest of the season. Really poor second half and it’s been a recurring theme this season.

Btw we were fucking abysmal from defensive corners today. They scored 2 and had about 2 or 3 other big chances.

I told you all we down tools at 42 mins. Weve played in patches this season. We could have easily just kept the ball, frustrated them and got a couple of goals in the counter. We just aren’t drilled to be a possession based team.
