Football Thread 2023 | August | “The first 90 minutes are the most important.”

RIP

Dang, Marta like Rapinoe and co the old guards coming to the end of their watch.

Need to replace Matip/Gomez or at least get another body in there

Alphonso Davies is rapid

Damn, this is just like the Gruether Furth game all over again.

By Laboured Go To PostDamn, this is just like the Gruether Furth game all over again.

Liverpool fans, man

Liverpool most goals conceded 23/24

I hope Diaz can stay healthy this campaign <3

By Laboured Go To PostDamn, this is just like the Gruether Furth game all over again.

He's Darwined it.

That's not like the Gruether Furth game.

I think Doak is gonna make it

Fair play to him Alisson has kept this respectable.

By cashman Go To PostI think Doak is gonna make it

Will definitely score 2 EL goals.

This is going to be a peak Lolerpool season, maybe one of the best yet

Are we in for another season where every single team we play against gets at least two one-on-ones?

Yes.

By Laboured Go To PostYes.

Is it time for Liverpool fans to crack each other's heads open and feast on the goo inside?

this is the Kloppo's way

🤷

By NiceGuy Go To PostI don't trust anyone who isn't South American and claims to watch a lot of their domestic football except for Tim Vickery

Wouldn't say I watch a lot but the Brasileirao is included with Paramount+ and Fluminense have a lot of hype in the tactics world for their unique philosophy ("Dinizismo" or w/e) so I've put eyes on them specifically a couple times. Not much else to watch in the summer.

Real shame is no Libertadores included with that, it's odd because they have the Brazilian and Argentinean leagues but you don't actually get to watch them play on the highest level?

Anyway I don't care for Andre. You can probably catch a stream of Fluminense from yesterday and see for yourself, tons of flaws in him, he's so head down all the time, takes forever to make decisions, receives and takes a touch and then scans, his touches are loose to boot. Can see him closer to goal in klopps older style where he's not trying to do as much with the ball, but as an alternative to Lavia its confusing and doesn't make sense to me, he lacks the basic qualities to do what Lavia does. Maybe it's a transfer smokescreen or something.

👏👏

Jesus and Zinchenko worry me, injured again for todat

“Not a British record for a defender.”
Fuck off with this shite.

Scum has had enough of City's shenanigans and Pep.

Phil Parkinson's nemesis (Nathan Bishop for the uncultured) has signed for us, finally. Dunno why we haven't officially announced it since there's a picture of him signing the contract all over social media. More shitness from the most shittily run club in England.

By Daz Go To PostAnnounce the Dane already.

Exactly. Give us Razzy_Haitch, u fuccs

Gvardiol: Here we go... again!

Haji Wright lads.

Please, lord, get an LCB in

Is this the end of Eric Dier?

Levi Colwill signs new Chelsea contract

Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce Levi Colwill has signed a new six-year contract, with an option for a further year, for a total of seven years.

An academy graduate who started training with Chelsea at the age of eight, Colwill has established himself as one of the standout young central defenders in European football and this summer helped England win the European Under-21 Championship.

👏👏

Koko with the updates, I don't need horse anymore

By Laboured Go To PostIs this the end of Eric Dier?

Nah, he’s left sided. In all honestly, I’d expect Dier to back up Romero, and VDV to either start at LCB or (hopefully) we can also bring in Tapsoba to start

By Ashwinho Go To PostScum has had enough of City's shenanigans and Pep.

But Ash, Man City didn’t pay a record fee for him. They’ve brought in a CB but not for a record fee. Remember it, mate. Not a record fee. Pep got him for a little less. Not a record fee.

Fuck off with this pathetic shit.

By JesalR Go To PostNah, he’s left sided. In all honestly, I’d expect Dier to back up Romero, and VDV to either start at LCB or (hopefully) we can also bring in Tapsoba to start

It’s happening then, is it JesalR?!

No way Todd falls for this, r-right?

By Batong Go To PostNeed to replace Matip/Gomez or at least get another body in there

Baffled that the club has been only looking at the midfield. It obviously needed attention but so did the defense. Badly need 2 good CBs and one decent RB.

Lot's of players being linked to us all of a sudden. It's been quiet since may but now it seems a new player is being linked to us every other hour.

Starting to look likely
Carlos Borges (LW) Man City -> Ajax
Josip Sutalo (RCB) Dinamo Zagreb -> Ajax
Hiroki Ito (LCB) VFB Stuttgart -> Ajax
Diant Ramaj (GK) Eintracht Frankfurt -> Ajax

Let's hope so
Edoeard Spertsyan (CAM) Krasnodar -> Ajax
Ian Maatsen (LWB) Chelsea -> Ajax
Hakim Ziyech (CAM/RW) Chelsea -> Ajax

Likely to be sold
Mohammed Kudus (CAM/RW) Ajax -> Arsenal/Chelsea (?)
Edson Alvarez (CDM) Ajax -> Chelsea (?)

All these players have been stories about in the media in the past 24 hours. Silly season finally started for us

By Laboured Go To PostNo way Todd falls for this, r-right?

No Rasmus until the weekend so presumably he won't play in any of our pre-season games.

Hearing Jesus may need surgery

The time of BaloGUN is nigh.
