After the first half showing last night v Sunderland I was wondering if the Liverpool players had been drugged-the play was so slow and ponderous. Some time ago I suggested that Slot wanted to play a more considered style of play rather than the Klopp style full on attacking approach. I now think he...

Blimey, now that was a game! Fulham 4-5 Man City Made the wrong choice and watched the Bournemouth v Everton game which was really dull, so dull that a team like Everton were the better side. Dewsbury-Hall now looking the player that Chelsea bought for quite a lot of money. Early talk of Bournemout...

I remember Oldham playing in the top league when Andy Ritchie, Andy Goram, Gunnar Halle, John Sheridan etc were playing for them so, despite where they find themselves now, they are surely the "biggest" of the clubs in the Manchester area and they are getting good crowds for the National ...

If you had to pick a team to play against when you were desperate for a win and needed to get your season back what team would you choose? Yes , those fancy dans from the East End. A boring game but a handy 3 points for the ex-champions for whom Wirtz started to show what he is all about. Worst gam...

Arguably Oldham have been that third club because geographically they've been the North East side of Manchester as opposed to United in the West and City in the south. Potentially Stockport to the South as well (not forgetting Bury and Rochdale). Surely it's no coincidence that their slide down the...

I think we go with Abrefa and Dorsett as first choice and see if they show enough improvement over the season to warrant a place next season when I guess the plan of the owners would be for a promotion push.. if it is the case that promotion and a side capable of making a serious challenge next seas...

FWIW I feel that the best team front 3 in football today are:-
Olise-Kane-Diaz

So, for a team player no.9 as part of a front 3 I would go for Kane.
For a solo target striker I would go for Haaland.
As a wide man striker I would go for Mbappe in a 3.

Sheffield Wednesday adminiatrators and Sheffield United owners discussing how the new entity will be banded: SH-U: Well we propose that the new entity will reflect the city and what will be the new harmony between all the citizens SH-W: Yes sounds a perfect idea, what would you suggest calling the ...

Looking at the Championship and L2, there's a real chance we could have ourselves, Swindon and Oxford in the same division next season. Plus Pompey and old adversaries in Walsall? Would be just like the old days. No, Boremuff and Bentford are missing. :evil: Whatever happened to them? Oh, they had ...

One for the oldies - shame we didn't get longer to enjoy him before his then big money (£60K then - £881K now) move to Southampton. Tommy Jenkins five goals in just 21 games. Bought from Margate for £500 just 6 months earlier, although we did then have to pay them an appearance bonus of £1,000 afte...

After that early big miss from Blackpool I thought we played ok and deserved the win. Danny K , albeit up against what looked to be the worst right-back in the division, had a game to remember and was involved in all 3 goals. So , on possession stats it was almost a reversal of last Saturday and ama...

A good job Eddie Howe isn't England manager yet with the next World Cup being across the pond as his record this year for winning games away from home is abysmal.

Peterborough beating Stockport 2-0 at half-time. Ended 3-0. This division is so open this season. Can't think of a league this open at this stage of the season. A lot will change in the table over the next few months. Take a look at the Championship below Coventry, Div.2 and the Premier League belo...

I'd keep Jacob. Dorsett could be needed at CB, either in the case of injury or switching to a back 3. Ryan hasn't impressed me, and whilst he can play there, I'd rather we weren’t relying on Garcia. Yes, both Abrefa and Yids can cover too, but that's starting to stretch things and steal from elsewh...

Agree on the loans and would be looking to loan further players out as well - hopefully will give us the space to bring in a decent CF to play the system. Kelvin is always going to split opinions but he’s done reasonably well but still prefer him out wide Not sure when Elliott is back fit (if ever)...

Obvs people on here and esp crappy Twitter were going to be negative etc after the game, but I’m not totally sure what people were expecting. Suddenly start pinging the ball round like prime Barcelona and smashing every team we come across? Same basic issues are there - lack of a suitable striker, ...

It cuts across the thread about what you hate about modern football that we are even talking about a midfielder being a DM , an AM or a 6 or an 8 or a 10. IMHO if you set up with a midfield 3 then those 3 should be capable of performing both attacking and defensive roles. One goes forward, one of th...

I'm surprised at the negativity here, I actually thought we played quite well. I actually thought we looked a lot better than we had done for a little while. Players getting on the ball and actually driving forwards, instead of just passing it sideways when their path was obstructed by a defender. ...
