Shameful disrespect of 👑 Sir Gareth 👑 from Tuchel

If true, then there’s a non-zero chance that Eccles has played his last game for us imo

OLÉ OLÉÉÉÉ (seriously, we need to stop using the word again in thread titles)

I would love someone to ask him how he plans to ensure his future Mars colony reflects existing demographics on Earth.

Who was the last captain of ours who declined to play because they didn’t fancy it?

Did I say it was unique?

You wouldn't hate a player who declines to play for us because they "don't fancy it"?

Well that's why I was asking about the inverted commas around 'knocks' and 'niggles', which suggest you believe there's something else going on. Obviously Sheaf is less valuable to us if he is prone to injury. And I agree it would be great if a player can get injured and just play through it...

Do you seriously think he would fake an injury? To what end?

Are the inverted commas suggesting anything here?

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/03/15/opinion/foreign-aid-cuts-impact.html A long read, but an interesting one. Even if you think the estimates are way out, you're still talking about hundreds of thousands (if not millions) dead within a year, so the United States can save on a tiny...

I'd leave out Rudoni until Torp needs a rest or his form dips.

I think there's a fair bit of wishful thinking to believe that Torp can do everything he did yesterday AND do what Allen did (who was truly everywhere). I also don't think he's defensively as good as Allen. But the vibes are pretty good right now so just throw caution to the wind I guess!

So who's doing Jamie Allen's job in this scenario?

Either this team was actually, genuinely a top 2 deck all along, or we have been winning games at a historically unsustainable rate and it will probably slow down in time. I know which I think is more likely, but the fact that I'm even open to either possibility right now is just so fucking great.

I wouldn't fancy playing Burnley over two legs. Their ability to shut a game down would be absolutely toxic to us.

He was pretty much playing as a 10 yesterday. His pressing was still very good - every player needs to press to some extent in this formation - but I think he's much less effective when defensive duties are a central part of his role, which wasn't the case yesterday. It's also why I'm not sure...
