She meant 200 miles south down near London where there's loads of crime and stabbings and it always rains ....unlike crime-free, tropical, unique-special-humour Liverpool.
FWIW here's the view from the balcony of the other side of the other tower block (our flat's view was over the Mersey and looking at the Wirral):
Gracia says Sarr will not be involved on Saturday. Same team then. So what (to nil) will the scoreline be?
Fair enough. I presented a logic based argument though rather than just a hunch! I’d like to think it’s a just ruse to spring a surprise line-up come Saturday - but I fear it means Sarr won’t appear before mid-September and will then be show-horned into an entirely alien formation. Welbeck likely to long retired by that point....
We HAVE to have time to train the talent out of them both and time to think how we can play them out of position in the most ineffective formation that allows Deeney to play duh!
These were the New Wave of packaged confectionery which came to dominate the market in the 60s & 70s. They swept aside the previous generation of unbranded items often dispensed from large jars in specialist sweet shops. Cadbury’s, Mars & Rowntree Mackintosh became fmcg titans & UK confectionery would never be the same again.
I simply don't get why Sarr is not ready - he has no injury and look how Mane - who played in the same final as Sarr, played last night The season started last weekend not mid september - we should be ready to go
It’s probably not Gracia’s stance but the fitness coaches’. He may not be injured at the moment but if you throw him in to competitive matches without properly conditioning him then he soon will be.
He’s been playing competitive games all summer? Far more demanding than pre-season. If he got tired at the back end of the season I would understand but I’m not having he isn’t conditioned right now. Mane played last night. Mahrez has been playing.
And playing for nearly a year without much of a break takes a toll. He had a bit of a holiday to recover but will still need some time to build himself up slowly.
This is what happens (to us) when you buy players late in the window. Everyone else seems to be jam-packed with their new signings. We wont see ours until a sub appearance in october
Imagine the scenes on here if we win and Deeney scores from open play. Well of course you'll have to imagine it coz it ain't feckling happening
Not true at all: Pepe, Ceballos and Luiz didn't start for Arsenal last weekend; Chelsea didn't start Pulisic; Lo Celso and Sessegnon weren't in Spurs' squad; Saint-Maximin was on Newcastle's bench; Danjuma wasn't in Bournemouth's squad; Maupay and Webster were on the bench for Brighton vs us etc. etc. Welbeck should feature for us at some point this weekend. If Sarr isn't at least able to be on the bench by the West Ham game it won't be very good, but our general situation at the moment with the new signings isn't very unusual.
Not at all. I bet on many fixtures and lose my stake most times. It is just a feeling to gamble on your own team. Given the form of Watford and general malaise of the fans, why should l not place a bet? One game in and many fans are disillusioned already. That speaks volumes. If l win my bet on Watford, then it is a good night. If l lose my bet, l am not bothered. If they play better, then l will put my money on them to win. If that's ok with you.
They’ve had 2-3 with their clubs already. I’m sure in 2-3 weeks Sarr will be in contention here. He’s had a longer than normal season, followed by 3 weeks of (presumably) total rest. I gave up playing football a while ago but I still run and if I train for months on end, then run a marathon, I know I still feel the effects to some extent for more than 3 weeks. Even if that has been enough rest for him though, he’s now going to have to build his fitness up a lot. From a physiological standpoint it takes about 2 weeks to adapt to an exercise workload, so he’ll be used to doing little by now and will take 2 weeks to get back. But regardless of what you or I think, the experts are the medical team and if they don’t think he’s ready then I’d trust their judgment. It’s a 9-month season and he needs to be in the best possible condition to play for those 9 months, even if that means missing a couple more games.
Fine by me. Do what you like. You can't affect the result. But it obviously provides you with a serious moral dilemma and potential conflict of interest especially at 0-2 given the bet you'd made. You still haven't answered my question. What did you want to happen at that point? Be honest now. Because, if at that point, you'd given up on us somehow rising from the ashes as in v Wolves in the semi-final and had instead wanted them to get another so you could cash in then that is called a switch in allegiance and very sad indeed. And, in my book, that would make you unwelcome here. Was it a better night out for you at 0-3 (because you could buy all your mates a couple of rounds) than it would have been at 0-2 because you'd have struggled a bit more? How would you feel if we get relegated by one goal difference having scored more than the team in 17th? So many question around a self-inflicted problem. However, carry on, do what you want. I'd prefer you didn't tell us all and gloat about it though eh? If that's OK with you.
That’s funny because I distinctly remember 95% of this forum claiming he looked burnt out from December?
