Salah header across goal but easy for Lloris really.

Son drops the Ashes.

True. But part of it is because they are so fast and direct.

As soon as Pool lose the ball, it's bam one pass straight up top and someone running straight at an unorganised defence. We on the other hand would take about 10 sideways passes giving them time to regroup.

Simple stuff, minus all the modern football manager fuckery. Souness did a good piece this week, laughing at all the new ideas and terminology that has given charlatans the chance to pretend they are football managers. In the end, move the ball towards the opposition goal and you have a better chance of scoring. Do it quickly and the opposition have less chance to stop you. That requires decent players, so don't sign overhyped crap. And when you have a genuinely world class team, THEN, you can go all Pep Guardiola. I'd love to see how that guy did with a mid table team - not so well I don't think. But this Poch wanker, he knows how to get the basics done well and with discipline and that takes you a long way.

Son drops the Ashes.

Game would have been over if the spuds had a decent player there. He's shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lovren hauled off, Ox on.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Would be against previous #bantz but I'd take an Ox equaliser for Pool.
