Also shoutout Virgil. That was a marked improvement from the first game which had me worried that he wasn't going to fit what Iraola wants from his CBs. First game he kept dropping off early inviting pressure but yesterday he was imperious and in their face engaging high up. Holding the line and...
Well it's the truth we had Rubeen Peeters in charge of conditioning. It will take a whole season to get these players up to scratch. Yes I expect pain as the season goes on especially the latter half, but they want from being part time footballers and all the time off in the world being granted...
That first 20 mins was like reminiscing about peak Klopp ball. Just straight in their face and getting the ball to the forwards as quick as possible. Naturally got tired in the 2nd half but it was a beautiful sight of things to come. Need more from Wirtz, though.
I always maintain the only one that can stop Arsenal is tapas pulis himself. If he can take the shackles off and actually let his team play then they should be so far ahead. The fact the nearly fumbled it last year with pep running on fumes gives the others a chance. Also dont sleep on Chelsea...
Im still of the opinion that the new people coming in will revamp everything especially recruitment because like you said its been dire. The new SD will probably be an internal hire to hold us over till then. So dont be surprised if Andoni is hamstrung for the entire year.
Was going to comment on your post about a need for a midfielder but yeah we have a sporting director who should be on gardening leave and FSG who look like they've washed their hands until the change of ownership next year. It's a shame because im convinced you give Iraola the tools he could...
God I hope youre right Scouse. Not going to act like ive watched him in depth like you have but ill take ya word on it. More importantly he fits what we require in the team.
Agreed. Obviously with hindsight we cant say with certainty how it will end up. However, reading more about Bhatia and how he operates it does seem in line with what is expected. Personally for me and especially the way this summer has gone and the past year and the indecisiveness FSG have shown...
If unprofessional had a face this would be it. Let him pick the next manager and half **** the window and at the same time have him already working for his new club. I cant believe the club didn't put him on gardening leave. Explains this entire summer in a nutshell.
Recency bias and all despite having a poor season previously he is still a good player. We need numbers and he covers the entire front line. Baffling getting rid of him.
Edit: counter argument. We gave him a stupid insane contract and if we are being honest he is a great rotation option at the...
I said and with hindsight that the most important thing this summer was getting in Iraola and getting rid of dumb and dumber in Hughes and Edwards. I genuinely dont trust them two to get Iraola what he wants and when the new folk take over next season, we can have a fresh restart with a new...

To say this is bad is an understatement. FSG ain't no saints, but they've run the club as well as you could ask in this era of shady owners. It was always...
