***Official*** English Football Season 2018-19

Thierry the new Monaco manager. Cool to see him and Vieira managing in the same league.

 

[andruid]

Viera OOOOOOH!

 

[andmark]

Germany seem to be at a low (or "Löw") point in their history at the moment. Might need lots of changes and greater emphasis on youth to regain their position in world football which ironically is what Löw did in the first place.

 

[sledger]

The starting point should be booting Low. And should have been quite some time ago

 

[andmark]

Yeah, it does appear that a regeneration would need Löw to go as well. He risks Wengering his good record.

 

[sledger]

He'd have to have a record as good as Wenger's to Wenger it.

 

[andmark]

He'd have to have a record as good as Wenger's to Wenger it.

World Cup win should do it surely?

 

[sledger]

Not for me.

 

[andmark]

I disagree but can't be bothered arguing about interpretation.

You know you've always wanted to see Carlo Ancelotti's face on a pizza.

 

[Furball]

The starting point should be booting Low. And should have been quite some time ago

How he survived the World Cup is beyond me.

 

[Spark]

What's the go with Bakayoko? How did he (apparently) do so well under Jardim yet look so clueless since?

 

[sledger]

Was a poor fit in a 3 man midfield with Kante and Fabregas iirc.

Chelsea seemed to expect him to be Matic basically, and he isn't.

 

[Uppercut]

I didn't get the impression he was particularly amazing at Monaco, though I assumed he'd be decent enough for Chelsea. Maybe he really didn't settle, but I don't think any explanation can really explain the full extent of his direness. He was at that level of bad where it's mildly upsetting to watch.

 

[sledger]

Bloke is rubbish on FM. Never a good sign.

 

[cpr]

Still awful in one on ones

 

[cpr]

Must've scuffed that one...

 

[andmark]

This scoreline is making me think it's some Illuminati lizard people experiment.

 

[wpdavid]

Maybe that first goal will kick-start Sterling's England career, confidence wise. Stranger things have happened. The way he finished it remined me of Owen's 1998 goal against Argentina actually.

 

[sledger]

Dreadful second half from England.

 

[Uppercut]

Dreadful second half from England.

Haha, this is very glass half empty.

I can’t believe the penalty wasn’t given for that Pickford mistake. Was watching with the sound off and assumed the Spanish were going nuts because they wanted to make sure it was given as a red.
