I'm enjoying it like, although two teams with black and white colours so I'm not sure who to cheer for! Botafogo sound like they've had some bad times, and haven't won this before, and they're in the away kit, so I think I'm leaning towards them

That makes sense. Although it would be good if pages put the recipe first, and all the text needed to satisfy the search engine afterwards, which presumably would work just as well. No need for a jump to recipe button then. Could instead have a "jump to tedious backstory" button if desired

Tin hat on, Cattermole would be a good option given our lack of CDMs with Samed seemingly never to get fit! And I'd always have a squad place for O'Shea

It would definitely be interesting to compare the 2 halves. Easy to say we sat back too much, but what did Millwall change to make it happen, do they deserve credit for it? I thought we still looked dangerous in terms of creating good chances and more often than not we'd have seen it out

Wanting to play out from the back when the chance arises is fine, but Southampton seem to be told to do it 100% of the time, regardless of risk/ reward. With the press on, and no decent options, that ball should have been cleared (for a throw if needed) every time

Spot on. Obviously I love what RLB is doing, so it's not a criticism, but I was baffled when he started Watson on the right at Preston. Only ever seen him on the left for the 21s and he's very effective there at that level. Hope to see him there on Saturday, and Wilson up top

To be fair to Ba I'm sure he's actually got an alright record in terms of goal involvements. I'd be tempted to give him a go. Basically anything to keep isidor up top

Looks interesting, will look forward to seeing the posts. Always love stuff like this because, although I've watched football for decades by now, I've never really spotted all the tactical minutiae and it's fascinating to see how the small things I don't even notice massively affect the outcome

It's mad like. A large number of people make a site nasty, full of trolls, engagement farming and OF girls to the point where you hardly want to waste your time replying to a post. Then the same people seem surprised that many would rather be somewhere you can actually enjoy interacting with people

Bardsley at old Trafford in the semi final. I didn't make it to the 1-0 last minute winner derby, that's probably the closest, but I'll go for the game I was at!

It's canny isn't it? When club football comes out I'm wondering if we'll even be able to chat football with opposition fans without it just being full of toxic bellends

I'm normally a full back fan, but Jobe for me. Followed by O'Nien. And a soft spot for Patrick Roberts despite the criticism of end product!

Been class tonight (hope not to jinx him) as he usually is. Does sometimes feel like any mistake (which all keepers have) is magnified

Seems a little bit quiet at the minute, but more and more seem to be joining so definitely worth sticking with for a while. Seems a good atmosphere on here at least, bit like the old twitter

Agreed, I'd have at least expected a few minutes for him as a sub, or u-21 involvement. Gives him a real headache if he sticks to 3 CMs. Badly lacking that CDM option, really wish Samed was fit

Think le bris mentioned previously about not wanting to change shape. Suspect he'll stay with 4 at the back and go Mepham at RB rather than O'Nien (he's done that before during a game iirc). But that makes the middle difficult, unless he feels Aleksic can slot in

Sunderland. But I did work for a company that was involved in building Scarborough Athletics ground, so I've got a soft spot for them after getting to have a kick around on the pitch 😂. I've also watched Stirling Albion FC! Might as well follow San Antonio as well at this stage!

Didn't realise he was Andy Gray's son until yesterday. Definitely need to use the loan market in January, would be worth a look
