Alex 42159 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Thing is the Conference League is very winnable for them. Also think they’ve been treated differently than a bigger club would’ve been. But domestically they have been happy forelock tugging and voting with the elite clubs to maintain the status quo. So it’s apt they’ve fallen foul of Uefa’s rules here. And I think Guehi is a good player, but he’s a downgrade on prime VVD. It’s a canny deal for a player with a year left on his contract from Palace’s pov 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a canny deal for a player with a year left on his contract from Palace’s pov i wonder if they see him as his eventual successor. He is still quite young and VVD wasnt really world class (no noticed anyway) until he signed for Liverpool. Im not even sure he’ll be first choice CB over Konate. I think they are signing an Italian CB as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’d be favourites for the Conference though you’d think. Not a lot of money in it but it’s a legitimate European trophy. I don’t suppose there’s much money in the Europa League either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 63272 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 New things being introduced this season: The 8 second rule: if keepers hold on to the ball for more than 8 seconds, a corner will be awarded. The best part is that the ref has to do a visible 5 second finger countdown for the last 5 seconds. Substitute interviews: broadcasters have now secured the rights to interview players that have been subbed off ffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 43956 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 They'll all just say 'I picked up a slight knock so we all thought it best I come off' or words to that effect so it'll not be the zinger the PL and broadcasters think it'll be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 12388 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Sky on a sycophantic cartel wankfest with the current top 25 PL players - only 4 of the list don't play for Liverpool (6 entries), Arsenal (6 entries), Man City (3 entries), Chelsea (3 entries) or Man Utd (3 entires): 1. Salah (Liverpool) 2. Haaland (Man City) 3. Palmer (Chelsea) 4. Rodri (Man City) 5. Isak (Newcastle) 6. Van Dijk (Liverpool) 7. Saka (Arsenal) 8. Rice (Arsenal) 9. Fernandes (Man Utd) 10. Magalhaes (Arsenal) 11. Caicedo (Chelsea) 12. Alisson (Liverpool) 13. Wirtz (Liverpool) 14. Saliba (Arsenal) 15. Odegaard (Arsenal) 16. Eze (Crystal Palace) 17. MacAllister (Liverpool) 18.

Gyokeres (Arsenal) Not sure quite how Tonali in particular doesn't make that list when you consider some of the names on there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 7484 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Caicedo, cunha, enzo fernandez, gravenberch and then wirtz & gyokeres (who have a grand total of 0 premier league minutes) being on that list is a joke 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatGinolaVolley 307 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 This might be the most boring article I’ve ever seen on BBC Sport. 32 pundits, and every single one has the same 4 teams in the top 4 (just in a slightly different order). What’s the point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
