By Cleff Go To PostTonight it definitely was. Very little cover for our defenders and both were sloppy in possession. Like, everyone looked off their game, but it was veryeey noticeable how much McFred struggled
Our front four caused all our problems almost exclusively. They got the balls up to them and then they just lost it immediately and then we got countered out of shape immediately.

They got the balls up to them and then they just lost it immediately and then we got countered out of shape immediately.None of our front four played particularly well, I agree. But our two central midfielders were inexcusably poor in possession. Fred made a few decent cross field passes, but after he was subbed off we lost that ball from midfield.
Bruno is suspended for the Burnley game. Picked up his fifth yellow of the season tonight. Might see VDB get a start, but it depends on how we're set up. He'll struggle if asked to play a wider role like Bruno was tonight.

This'll get misinterpreted by some. He's absolutely right too. Didn't deserve a point from this game.
By Daz Go To Post/hitcherHe must fix the midfield in January orwe are dead.

By Hytch Go To PostOle neglecting to upgrade at CM this summer was exceptionally fucking stupid.That's what happens when the club decides it's Rice or no one, but also don't want to pay full price.

You think he even had much of a say in that? Legit question, I know it's a lot more popular in premier league not to have a director of football, but just somewhat doubt he was the one making the decisions. Not that I think he should be, but clearly Woodwards or whoever was making those decisions either.

Plus with the amount of qualifying praise that Ole got for the transfers in the summer, it only makes sense to me that he must have been responsible for the positions that they never tried reinforcing.
Really it's all a consequence of the board dragging their feet on appointing a DoF for what feels like about 3 years.
Tell ya one things that kills me. Saints been playing 4-2-2-2 for 2 years and gets called 4-4-2 but every wank pundit out there.
United been doing it 2 games and getting a in depth analysis looool

The most reliable Portuguese journalist on Twitter (the guy has been on Fabrizio Romano's streams) is saying that Jorge Jesus has been fired.
The last days have been a mess at Benfica.
There was apparently an argument between Pizzi and Luisão (former CB and now technical director) after the Porto match with the midfielder saying to the squad that Benfica couldn't be humiliated like that and the Brazilian not liking the way Pizzi talked.
Now there are reports that Jorge Jesus didn't let Pizzi train yesterday with the squad and is sidelining the player. Cue to the rest of the squad refusing to train and the whole session was delayed for more than hour.
Now it seems that Jorge Jesus is definitely getting fired.
Pirlo is apparently the name on top of Benfica's shortlist for the next manager.

So when will these postponed fixtures be played? Must be a real headache for the PL and the teams trying to put the schedule together
Benfica players were seen leaving the training center, this morning's training session has apparently been cancelled.
Something is definitely happening.

I get not wanting to be taken for a ride by Sevilla on this. But at the same time, I'd much rather we just let Martial go even if it's on these terms. He doesn't want to stay, his performances are poor and we could be using his vacated place to rotate in Amad and Elanga.
Meslier with just the 97 shots faced.
No wonder his individual stats are poor. The set up ahead of him is fucked beyond belief.

By Vini.lad Go To PostFlamengo waited so long for George Jesus and he's gonna end up at Atlético hahapray for atletico
Home game against Fleetwood on Sunday has been postponed.
Interesting that we've had covid cases at Sunderland but been able to find and isolate them before it was allowed to spread through the training ground.
Reckon a lot of clubs are taking advantage of this rule (14 fit players + 1 goalkeeper or whatever it is) not being applied properly.

George Jesus is king here my amigo
that's the level of our managers
It's official now, Jorge Jesus has left Benfica.
Nelson Veríssimo, the manager of the B team, is taking over until the end of the season apparently.

Can't fault Haaland for wanting to leave Bundeslol and Raiola pushing for a big pay. Seems like uncle Flo wants to delay the move by a year but I wonder if he's got some trickery to make both Mbappe and Haaland happen this summer. Funding aside, we can't line-up Vini, Mbappe, Haaland and Benzema. Benzema and Vini are in the form of their careers, Mbappe will bench Asensio and Rodrygo, no room for Haaland unless we rotate like mad but as we all know don Carlo doesn't like rotating much.

M8, Spurs are not losing again under Conte.
What a finish from Denis. Fancied Watford to pick up at least a point when I saw Rice was out, let's see if they can hold.
