Esquerdinha and his usage
at 11:21 30 Dec 2025

I think that's all fair enough. The main problem I have with how we played though is we actually seemee too focused on the fact that it's 4 games in 9 or 10 days.

Field has height, so if you're playing him up there try and hit him and build from further up the pitch.

Instead it was all about moving forward slowly and deliberately in some sort of crab formation, backwards of square until everyone has got over the halfway line while staying in the green zone on their heart monitors, managing their load and thinking about the 4 games in terms of 12 points rather then what's right in front of them.

Why not have a decent go at them, press high, work at a higher rate and rotate a winning team as needed?

It all looked over thought, other than the lack of thinking where players who were having an off night should've been subbed for their replacements - Saito and Kone seemed the most obvious to me.

What was that Julien was saying over the weekend about not getting anything from games if you're even 10% below your maximum effort?

A turgid, energy conserving stalemate so far. Let's have a bit more effort in the second half.

Another one, which I've just enjoyed double checking, is Dazed and Confused

This is a high bar. I think a lot of these songs end up being the ones that threaten to eclipse an album.

The example I've been using of that for the last 3 or more decades is "...in much the same way as Mary's Prayer eclipsed the 'Meet Danny Wilson' album".

This one is a bit like that, and the album feels quite similar in a strange way. If you don't want to deal with the slightly distracting home video I'd just listen - 'I'm Still Trying' by Matthew Fowler.

I thought it was much improved second half, which felt like another improvement at the end compared to so many final scores on this day.

I wouldn't have taken Dembele off because he is so hot and cold as a player but suddenly had the ball on a string in the second half - not sure even he'd know why. He seems like the epitome of a player where the modern term 'ceiling' is very apt. Poku did well but it felt like a missed opportunity.

Frey for Kone has been discussed by everyone already - and sadly quite accurately. He seems like a genuinely nice bloke but is just gone. That one where Burrell got fouled arounf the 90 min mark and was asking for it, and Frey starts waving his arms around rather than getting the ball. Schoolboy stuff is not acceptable when he is now so immobile anyway. Whatever is stopping Kolli getting played must be some serious shit.

I think embarrassing is a bit much though to be honest Myke.

Don't know about taking Dembele off. He seemed to have found a different gear this half.

Poku for Saito. Not his day at all.

Or Smyth of course

I actually think our shape and effort is quite good, but we need to move onto stringing a couple of passes together

The "what's the score" I agree it's not anything to get too worked up about. I wouldn't have sung it but fairly standard.

The "you're a c*nt" one sounds pretty clear on one of the YouTuber's footage, but hopefully Marti didn't hear this expression of youthful bwavado. He had enough on his plate with that team of overpaid slack bastards in front of him.
