Leather?!?

The only leather boot on the market nowadays are Copa Mondial

Fuck me even I thought it was a red card after seeing a few replays. But the question remains, why was the keeper leading with his face?
And it clearly wasn't with malicious intent but he was out of control and it was therefore reckless and dangerous. Like riding a fixie on the road with no brakes. Apparently

He was out of the area and about to head the fucking ball, what else is he going to lead with?

His chest or foot

It was at head height, I reckon you should be able to head a ball in a match without having some cunt trying to kick it off your neck... Just saying, sorry if I missed something, etc...

I dunno, I could watch neymar getting his head kicked off all day.

And Pepe, Costa etc etc

Apparently the red card has been rescinded and Ederson has been suspended for simulation.

Starting to get excited about the champions league. Dortmund tomorrow, should be a good game. Looking forward to how we set up, and if we go looking to take the game to Dortmund.
Hoping the sheriff has made some tactical adjustments to improve our play in Europe, think it's one of the few weakness he has shown as a manager so far, but seeing as how this is his third?? Season managing in European competition I can't be too hard on him..

How many seasons does a manager need?

I think it will be the back three again from the weekend, the real moussa was rested against everton. Dele is suspended so aside from trippier i think it picks itself. If they turn up like they did against everton then it should be a good game.

        Loris
 Toby    Sanchez   Verts 
Aurier                Davies
       Dembele Dier
 Son        Eriksen
       Kane

If you're Liverpool, just one more.

Famous European nights at Anfield etc etc

This WILL be their year

Liverpool aren't challenging the card though, just the length of the ban. But don't let facts get in the way of the wankery of this thread.

Funnily enough, when I was 16yo I got an overhead kick right in my hooter when goin to head the ball. Broken nose and claret all over the shop

He never got sent off though

yeah I'd agree, only issue is throwing Aurier into the deep end of a game we conceivably have to win to even think about getting out of the group stages. And I worry about us having enough on the bench to change things around, if we need to chase a goal.
Dortmund, have a host of injuries, so we might be meeting them at the right time.
50/50

After getting a shoeing from Boro tonight I hope we see the back of Bruce and his terrible negative tactic-free football.

Naismith was fucking ace. Bags of limitations but smart enough to work around them. His Chelsea hattrick was glorious.

Anyways, re: the blues. Mark O'Brien, as ever, nails it: https://thisisnotfootball.co.uk/2017/09/12/lets-start-to-dance-again/

He looks more like a Beryl Cook painting every time I see him.

But don't let facts get in the way of the wankery of this thread.

Nothing will get in the way of that. an unstoppable force of W A N K

How is JT doing?

Playing himself into the managerial hotseat.

Boro to win and Bruce to be replaced by JT. What a dream.

Am I alone in thinking that Terry would be a disaster zone as a manager?

No - but that won't stop Villa appointing him, and a couple of other clubs after that, before he heads off to BT/SKY.
