OTF

No we wouldn't because they've got a shit ton more quality AND depth already because they expanded exponentially without the constraints of FFP. We're adhering to FFP and it's royally fucking over the health of our players because they're stretched so thin across our many games, as we knew it would. If we weren't limited by FFP we'd have the depth to have avoided at least some of these injuries, or to have had replacements of suitable quality and experience. Let's not forget that FFP purports to be to protect clubs from spending too much and threatening their survival. That is simply not a risk to us. The reality is FFP is of course designed to protect the monopoly of the curently most powerful clubs by preventing anyone else from spending similar amounts on players, management, facilities etc.

It's true though, he's a finisher not a creator, when do you ever see him go on a run and beat his man? Even with a head start he often gets pulled in. Howe has used him effectively off the bench, that's where he's best. Early on he likes to get physical with the defenders which can be useful for others later, but if we're not getting balls to him in the box he's not very effective.

Ah good so we can loan out Tonali and Barnes to our 'feeder' clubs the. For a fee of course, for players of such high calibre.

Livramento our best, will get to see a lot of him now that Burn is injured.

Look at our big money bench, it's so unfair.

Fuck that should be 1-1. Great build up.

Steffi Graf

I know it's in the box here, so a little different, but you have to think him being on a yellow influences the way he plays. In the back on his mind he's always thinking I can't be too physical and that applies regardless of the location. It's why I really hate having any defenders on yellows.

Miggy miggy miggy, can't you see

The amount of luck in their goal is crazy. In saying that they do deserve to lead. We'll look and play differently second half.

It's embarrassing, a disgrace.

I know, I'm super dirty still about that yellow for Hall, even more so with all the unnecessary physicality they've been allowed to get away with without punishment.

Or Almiron, Liv into RB Trip to LB. Gordonnon later for Wilson.

Did they not get a yellow for that barge on Joelinton? Totally crooked after Hall's in the first 10.

Well fuck.

We've been terrible with the ball thus far, way too nervous. Pope getting a few simple saves here is good.

Crooked ref, no yellow there.

Thanks FFP, you've really saved us!

Ange being Ange, and he's still in friend making mode with the media. It's not the refs who need to be mic'd up but the VARs explanation should be available at the time they make the decision. That pin-headed potato fancier Dermott Gallagher wouldn't be very happy about that though because he's made a career revival out of explaining the decision making processes for the VAR despite the fact that he's not refereed in the Premier League for over 15 years.

10 men for the rest and a Chelsea pen to equalise. Very tough call to make for me, attacker not ever going to get to the ball, and as a defender you want to clear it with some force.

I also think Bruno stays out there because Havertz wasn't sent off earlier. However if Havertz was sent off the Butterfly Effect dictates that Bruno and Jorginho would have passionately embraced instead.

Steered clear of Dan Burn.

They can try but they will never win.
