Good ep this week liked how positive you both were. Only part I disagreed with was the assessment that Kudus looked sharp.
 
Agree almost wholeheartedly. There were signs beyond the awful imbalance of the side and ineffectiveness of the wide men, that something is starting to simmer, not quite a rolling simmer but if the awareness, familiarity and understanding builds, then this could start to reduce down to something quite flavoursome. I think I may peckish... We desperately need pace out wide, players taking on and beating their men and more players looking to make the critical runs. I'm potentially more excited than fearful, although this will be a tough fixture away. It will be interesting to see how RDZ sets things out. I'd genuinely like us to go there and attack. Not quite Big Ange madness Or Ossie's cavalier charge but a positive attacking mentality. COYS.
 
Finding Our Way Out Of The Forest

Drat had to pause due to clients. One thing that you highlighted is 'game management'. (in it's loosest sense...) Someone, could indeed have cheated and delayed the restart but then, the ref could have added the time and asked them to leave the field for a minute. So you get a bashed player return and lose a healthy one. Last season I felt these 'dark arts' were becoming more obvious and, of course, the 'imbeciles that be' have meddled poorly, to attempt to mitigate some of these behaviours. The number of keepers with cramps in the last phase of a game they were leading, clearly didn't go unnoticed. Against us as we chased games, opposition players were dropping like it was a bad day at the Somme (*Okay there weren't any good days). Yet, now we have a system where a player can be fouled, injured, even maliciously, and after treatment for an obvious injury (not the writhing, rolling, screaming nonsense so loved by our continental cousins) they are subjected to a further time penalty. This gives their opponents (the transgressors) an advantage. If a keeper is injured, they, under the new rules stay on the field but an outfield players must be nominated to depart!! If this is the case with an injury to a keeper, then surely the opposition should also lose a player for the minute too. The reality is that we had a minute to survive and ten players on the field. 9 of them could have been in the box. Bentancur was sent back to fill the gap. Game management isn't just running the clock down, it is seeing the risk of your CB being off the pitch, looking at the clock and knowing that this is the moment to park the bus.

Agreed.
Starting with our seasoned LB not haring into a nothing space and acting like a schoolkid trying to impress and needlessly hacking a ball to his international teammate!!!!
(I still would not have objected to Kinsky going down with a strain!)
 
What Happened Next Pt 4
Season 7 - Episode 13
Steff, Milo and Ram look at what happened next with Tom Huddlestone, Giovani Dos Santos and John Bostock, as well as having a polite little chat about the Emirates Marketing Project situation/disgrace/appallingness (you know where this is going). Put it this way, Ram demands that part of punishment be a statue outside Eastlands for Crouchy!

Yes, Attilio Lombardo is widely regarded as a maverick, both for his unorthodox, high-energy playing style and his unique off-field personality.His maverick status comes from several distinct aspects of his career:

Playing Style: Known as "The Bald Eagle," Lombardo was an energetic, highly unpredictable attacking winger. He did not fit the mold of a traditional, stationary winger; instead, he was known for explosive bursts of pace, tireless running, and an unorthodox, lanky stride that constantly kept defenders on their toes.

Personality and Pop Culture: He cemented his maverick reputation in the 1990s as a fan-favorite on Channel 4’s Gazzetta Football Italia. Unlike the serious, stoic image many associated with Italian footballers of the era, Lombardo openly displayed a fun-loving and eccentric side. This included wearing comedy wigs, his manic goal celebrations, and famously dancing the Lambada on live television.

Unconventional Roles: In 1998, he broke the traditional mold at Crystal Palace by becoming a 32-year-old player-manager. While he couldn't save the club from relegation that season, taking on the dual role demonstrated his bold and pioneering spirit.Throughout his successful career with giants like Sampdoria, Juventus, and Crystal Palace, he was known as much for his creative flair and individual brilliance as he was for his incredible work ethic. You can read more about his career highlights and cult-hero status on Wikipedia or the New York Times.

Late to the party on this one, great little player, interestingly after Palace he went to Lazio and was a real steadying influence on the title win
