It’s nuts, but he’s a freak. He thinks he’s going to play to 41, so perhaps eyeing up 4 years in Italy & 4 in America. Been some precedent with Totti, Del Piero, Inzaghi for three that played up front in Serie A in their very late 30s to 40s.
He’s not nimble but is hard to get off the ball. Also seems teams think they can let him have it in the hope he’ll cough up. When we’ve played him, he’s struggled, but most do
Wright is chatting an abundance of s***e about Henderson’s penalty, claiming it didn’t look right doing keepy ups on way up. The sort of crap analysis that fuels idiot pile ons 1 It’s probably just to keep him calm 2 it wasn’t missed, the keeper made a great save 3 If it had gone in he’d be calling it great composure
Bizarre Funny Deserved Germany strolled through theee games taking an absolute liberty with defending, not bothering to cover fullbacks high up the pitch. Also why does anyone think a goalie is any use playing left wing chasing the game? Set piece maybe, but that was playground
That’s quite something. TLDR: Salah is a gutless poacher living off the work of others & should be sold before he gets found out and goes back to being average
Course he’s not useless, there are reasons why he’s been at big challenging clubs & why he’s not now. For us it’s about his consistency, how he can adapt & how much he’s after
That he’s not nailed on for Real is interesting, maybe he’s just not rated by them. Say he doesn’t get the ideal move to Madrid, he’s clearly better than what we have and is a potential 8-10 year solution; we might not get another look at a decent keeper in near future
Via Ben Dinery Salah set to face Saudi Arabia: "At the end of training [on Thursday] he was examined and there was some doubt if he fell or was hit by another player. We decided not to take that risk [vs Uruguay]. We want him on top form for Saudi Arabia and Russia." #EGY #LFC Seems very hopeful & risky if it’s slll obviously weak
The shoulder can’t be healed. If it was they’d be trying to get game time into his legs after all the missed training. Guess would be they’re waiting till desperate or he feels no pain to get him on the pitch.
Thought would maybe be Fekir rotates in front three & midfield, with Shaqiri first or second sub behind him; without Fakir maybe means having to go with a top level front three player and an attacking midfielder instead?
