Literally every Brighton fan I've spoken to on other forums say differently. Caicedo was the player for them. Losing him was what pissed them the most off given how influential he was. IIRC Enzo controlled the tempo for Argentina, with De Paul and MacAllister doing the donkey work which took a heavy burden off of Messi as a result. He's being used as a box to box here which I will continue to say is a ineffective way to use him. You are going to find it difficult to convince any Chelsea fan that its the players lack of quality vs the mismanagement of the manager, considering we endured Lampard and he had us convinced Kante, Rudiger, Chilwell, and Christensen were average to the point we wanted to sell them. All 4 became mainstays in our European Cup win a few months later.

I just don't buy that. At all. Brighton fans will tell you Caicedo was 2x the player MacAllister was and the latter is looking unbeatable under Klopp. Ran circles around Caicedo who's looked average since he's come here. Enzo is the most technically gifted player we have on the ball and he's being asked to be a box to box midfielder, running up and down the pitch vs someone who controls the tempo of the game. Something he does/did for Argentina and Benfica. From watching our midfield this entire season its clear that these players are mis profiled and mismanaged by a man who favors runners and chaotic scrap football. Which is no surprise why Gallagher is the only one benefiting.

The "hate" is towards a manager who has taken a player that has average technical ability and made him the mainstay of the team and undroppable. I don't blame Gallagher as he is who he is. Gallagher however isn't making his case as to why he deservers his alleged £150kpw contract extension. Needed to put those away yesterday. Needed to. A more technical player dinks Kehller or rounds him.

It's 100% offsides. Funny thing is the exact same type of goal was denied 2 years ago when James was obstructed by a Liverpool player that was offsides. In the ELC final.

Thought he would've adapted or improved from his time off of football, but he is still the same reactive, conceding, and tactically poor manager that he always was. Was giving him the benefit of the doubt with his history of developing young players, but 8 months in the only one he's "improved" is a technically average Conor Gallagher who he's seemingly built the entire team around. No surprise the best chances came to Gallagher who fluffed them. There is a decent squad in this team, maybe missing 2-3 senior/established players and finishers.

How I felt about the last seasons of Money Heist. The Berlin flashbacks for me I skipped to begin with, so a whole series about him? No thanks.

Only use Netflix nowadays for their documentaries. I wouldn't dare watch any Netflix original series/films with the cookie cutter plot they constantly recycle. Stranger Things and Squid Games. That's it.

It's funny how the mens team is all about the future or building for the future, the project, the project, the project, etc, etc, whereas the womens team is is straight to business. Transfers that fit immediate needs and they just appointed that Lyon manager to replace Emma Hayes, where in the women's football world is like replacing Klopp with Pep.

Yeah good film. Didn't know he was the first athlete in history to receive royalties off of his branded products. His mother always knew he'd ascend to greatness.

$98 billion aid for Ukraine and Israel yet the majority of Americans can't afford homes, health care, or have salaries that can keep up with this inflation. God Bless America.

Any manager that makes the excuse regarding the Klopp/Liverpool comparison will get sacked in a matter of weeks.

Lampard said the same thing. Dead man walking.

Appears Edwards has rejected Liverpool's advances.

Dumb Money - 6.8/10

Aren't TAA, Van Dijk, and Salah all on 18 months remaining?

Dragons Dogma 2 now truly peaking my interest.

The whole Andrew Tate and high value men fanbase screams pedo's to me too. 30-40 year old men only dating 18-20 year olds. I'm beginning to think the only reason they don't date lower is because of the law. "I like them young because they are pure and I can shape them into what I want them to be" So grooming then.

Welcome back. This is a no nonsense type appointment United have needed for a long time. I think had they appointed him in the summer, Mount, Hojland, and Onana probably wouldn't of happened. Clear as day ten Hag needs less power handling transfers.

Ultimate difficulty CPU genuinely has only one way to score (take winger and either dribble to goal line and cross or finds open runner inside box) yet it’s so difficult to defend against because our players AI are fucking statues.

Squad is perfect for Mourinho imo.

Tbh I see Newcastle as the only club he'd do well with.

Should go back to Porto.

On paper, Poch is doing a relatively decent job. If we beat Fulham at the weekend, we could find ourselves 7th with a cup final on the horizon and home advantage against Villa in the FA Cup. Considering our injuries to pretty influential players, its not bad. This is what the ownership is likely looking at. That being said, on a footballing perspective Poch is doing a terrible job. Team still look like strangers 6 months in and there's still no clear identity to how we want to play. We have an abundance of technical ability and yet we are resorting to scrap football and running around with zero control, completely exposing/misprofiling our midfield. The injuries excuse can only go too far. I'm personally not bothered with the contract lengths.

Gal Gadot almost got cast as Cleopatra and it didn't get as much outrage as a black woman playing a fucking mermaid.
