**Official** English Football Season 2024/25

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I don't get up to watch the EPL like I used to years ago so only really see highlights these days. Was Casemiro as horrendous as I've heard in dispatches?

Coward

United fans are in for a long season if they think Ugarte will go anyway towards fixing the problems from that game.

Casemiro's issues were on the ball, rather than off it. I'd actually put that as an aspect of his game that he's considerably better than Ugarte at so that's a worry. With some luck that will settle the Mainoo super fans down, he got a lesson from Macca and Grav.

Anyway who cares about them. Great 3 points for us, another stand out game from Gravenberch who's quickly getting the recognition he deserves. The legend of Salah goes on, he's getting awfully close to Henry, Rooney etc.

I actually thought Szobo (aside from his running) and Jota were pretty poor. Robbo's best game under Slot too. There's still so much we could do better, didn't even think we played particularly well.

I think Mainoo looks like he has played too much football. It’s great to have a young player come through but there’s no squad depth behind him and he has to cover for Casemiros legs. Ugarte at least gives some younger legs to help.

Casemiros passing got attention and rightly so but his lack of running and covering and getting ahead of the ball are constant issues. He has zero discipline and only had the legs to get away with that for 1 year.

That has to be a huge concern for the club, although they don't seem too bothered to do anything about it in terms of signing reinforcements.

I guess the hope is that he's like Saka and has durability to manage the workload, rather than someone like Lavia who ends up breaking down.

I dunno where to post this, but there was a lot of euro stuff on earlier this summer, so what is the diff between that and the UEFA nations league playing tomorrow. Is it just that 1 is a tourny and the other goes on all year like the champions league?

Nations league is basically a bunch of friendlies with a trophy at the end

Fmd these ***** have been back two weeks and they’re getting a week off. Just play on ffs

Lee Carsley causing a stir with his confirmation that he won't be singing the national anthem. I don't care either way, but his reasoning has been pretty lame.

Yeah the travelling fans and media won't like this. When it starts going wrong they will force him out.

 

[sledger]

The national anthem is ****ing terrible. Good on him for refusing to sing it.

 

[Spikey]

only losers sing the anthem

Better than a bunch of friendlies with no trophy at the end. The format is a bit convoluted though.

I hate this culture war bullshit. I genuinely couldn't give a toss whether players or managers sing the anthem or not, it's the results that matter. Why do people need to be either outraged at him or outraged at the people outraged at him?

One football telling me that England have 83% possession through 35 minutes. How bad are Ireland.

 

[Uppercut]

How bad was Southgate lol. It’s like that time Gerrard left Villa.

A beautiful day.

England smashed plenty of meh teams in qualifying with Southgate.

Kelleher definitely needs to have a think though, he's clearly to good to be a number 2 but he's going nowhere with Liverpool especially with the Georgian lad who is absolute gun who just signed.

We beat Italy twice in the last set of qualifiers as well. Lots to knock Southgate over, but beating the Irish 2-0 hardly sees Carsley surpass the guy who took England to two Euro finals and WC semis and quarters

I was surprised we didn't sell him this summer. He's good enough to be a prem GK but not quite good enough for a top 6 side.

Very capable back up. Has had some great moments over the years and is living out his dream to be an LFC player
