I'm guessing there's meant to be a graphic with this?

It's happened again. I just came onto this screen and it looked like this. I've never put Hillman in goal to be clear

Not improved at all. I would have to dig to find the pass maps. When you have the tactics screen, players can be showing one role, but when you click on their name/shirt in match to check, they can be playing a previous role that you had for that position

He's also out injured with a hip injury...

No, I'm not even in a match. This is the Match Tactics screen before the game

It's a young man's game.
Except if you're Leeds.
Can't help but think the sliver of green for Brighton is pretty much Groß and Milner too.

How is that not Haaland getting sent off? He's clearly pulled Szoboszlai's shirt and nothing.

That's better than the Arsenal one, and that's saying something! What a hit!

One. One week. Slightly crazy that she thought she'd be able to race with that level of injury. Remarkable that she made it down the training run tbh.

Yeah they need to isolate that frequency and keep it out of the broadcast

Bayer Leverkusen 2043-44 – Domestic dominance, defensive brilliance or downrightΒ luck? After winning the Bundesliga for the fourteenth (14th) year in a row, by a total of 12 points, I wanted to see how dominant we'd become over the course of this season to get a sense of how far ahead of the rest of the league we are. Sure the points difference tells a story, but it's a simplified one.

I've taken a deep dive into how much dominance my Bayer 04 showed over a Bundesliga season when winning our 14th consecutive title.

Maybe hope Forest go down and see if there's a relegation release clause in Anderson's contract?

KonatΓ© won the ball yesterday in a tackle that was deemed by Simon Hooper to be a foul. Who is wrong then?

Is there an irony that a club once run by a host of The Apprentice is run like a soap opera where they keep going through managers and actively want the board to keep doing the same, whilst simultaneously having low approval rating of said board?

Let's see whether the board at Spurs read this or not...

Irrational managerial changes remain the norm in Europe’s top football leagues Football clubs routinely conflate short-term match outcomes, often heavily influenced by chance, with managerial competence, leading to inefficient decisions.

After a really not very good half hour, my word were they good to great for the remaining 60. Use this to kick on now. Up the Reds!

Wirtz is the 32nd different Liverpool player Salah has assisted.

Since the start of the Klopp era, only five other players have even got at least 32 assists for the club.
