    That captain's only rule came in this season, seems to have been quickly forgotten though

    Lacks enforcement then. Handing cards out like confetti for approaching the ref would change things fast. Rugby can do it so there are no excuses.

    Hope Curtis starts over Mac



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,565 ✭✭✭The Rooster


    Mac was in Argentina during the week. Returnees from South America almost inevitably play poorly on return, so I also hope he is benched, and then start him against PSG in midweek.

    Slot said Frimpong is probably going to be fit, but isnt up to playing 90 minutes x 2 in a few days. Not sure if Gomez is fit? If not, we might be forced to play Dom right back in one of the two upcoming games.

    My biggest ‘want’ is for Wirtz to be one of the front 3 and not one of the midfield 3.

    My biggest want is for a win, but I don't see it happening

    I don't see why we'd risk Frimpong. Taken off as a precaution the other night so there's clearly a worry there. Why risk it in a game that's less important than any of our other remaining games this season?

    Aside from intentional time wasting and the nonsense at corners there has to be something done with the amount of time being allowed for things like long throws. One game in particular where we conceded in add on to add on time there was 2 mins taken up taking two thrown ins. This take a throw on one side, and then walk across to the far corner of the field, spend ages drying the ball and then eventually take another throw has to be stopped.

    That game was already way over time it should have been blown up when he was walking across for the second throw - would soon speed things up if they started ending games when people are just making no effort. I think being handed a towel to dry the ball should also be banned - I’m surprised it was ever allowed is it not seen as an outside influence on the game giving an advantage to the attacking team.

    That's about as strong as we can be.

    Let's see how we go against City with this formation.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,565 ✭✭✭The Rooster


    Can’t argue with that line-up. Let’s do it



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,904 ✭✭✭✭8-10


    Wonder if we'll see Isak on the bench midweek



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,539 ✭✭✭✭TitianGerm


    Slot did say in the press conference that it was a hard one to call for today because if you brought him on for a few minutes the game could end up going to extra time and you would have to sub him back off



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,442 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Didn't see that but to be fair to Slot, that logic is fair.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,045 ✭✭✭MICKEYG


    No GK on the bench?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 823 ✭✭✭finno


    Cue Doku having a game of his life, like he always does against Liverpool



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,445 ✭✭✭facehugger99


    The glamour tie of the QFs and it’s at 12.45pm.

    Absolute nonsense.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,222 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    I don't care if the stats say it works, I can't get on board with kicking the ball into touch like that from kick off 😆

    Hugo and passing is something I hope will be improved next year

    When to do so and execution.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 481 ✭✭strawdog


    Yeah a waste ,one of the few reasons I'm allowed day time beers but not when it's before lunch 😕 really need alcohol to listen to Ally McCoist too



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,855 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    Strong start



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,565 ✭✭✭The Rooster


    Playing very well. Probably lacking a smidgen of confidence in their box. But hopefully our pressure will bring a bit of good luck.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 329 ✭✭Libertine07


    We look good so far, some nice play between Wirtz and Ekitike.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,539 ✭✭✭✭TitianGerm


    **** mo. Dragged the absolute shite out of it.

    Edit: he got a block in.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 16,302 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    Slow and ponderous from Salah there to allow the defender back, it was a great chance.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,855 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    I mean on target or square it.

    Such a waste



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,333 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    That's infuriating from Salah.
