Commentator I’m listening to just said ‘Oxlade Changing room’  🤣

I thought he said that! Then I thought I misheard 🤣🤣

[Capt. Pants 4,284]

Brilliant defensive header from Max.

That's why we have to start to think about a replacement for him in the summer, unfortunately 

Should have done this last summer really.

Normann's long throws aren't really long are they 😆

I’m begging for our team or any team to kick this Liverpool team. Why does everyone stand off and let them play. Hurt them!

Whilst I’d love to see it, Liverpool are diving bastards and well protected. Any touch is a foul and we’d get easy yellow cards. You just can’t.

[Capt. Pants 4,284]

Great ball in from Kenny but Teemu dreaming. Poor start from the GOAT.

[Fiery Zac 1,066]

Liverpool aren’t playing offside trap very well. Need to keep doing what we’re doing and chances will come

I’m willing to take it

look at this dirty landing on Sargent. It’s filth.

I want Henderson on his **** in the next 5 minutes. Man the f@££ up

Haha. I was thinking the same. Did it slip out of his hand or does he genuinely not have a long throw in his locker?

What a player Rashica is turning out to be 

[TheGunnShow 6,019]

Just got to get to half-time here.

Can't see him playing in the Championship

FFS !......Burnley two up at Brighton.

What was Webber thinking!

[Ken Hairy 3,781]

Gilmours corners are so poor, always straight down the keepers throat

[The Real Buh 3,482]

We touch their players and it’s IMMEDIATELY a yellow, no negotiation.

could the referees be any more corrupt at this point. Mike Dean will be in jail one day, bookmark this post.

Brighton about to slide into their “we’ve done enough” descent to the beach.

[......and Smith must score. 1,361]

Not a bad half defensively but we really must do more with the chances we get at the other end

Edited February 19, 2022 by ......and Smith must score.

[Jambomo 215]

Now we just need Pukki to take one of those chances

[Green Canary 21]

And breathe. Good fighting half for us!

[Fiery Zac 1,066]

Well played McLean, very good first half along with the whole team. Hard working and looking to attack as well when getting the chance 

[In my blood 39]

Well done lads, well done. Real fight and organized.

[Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,898]

Whole team superb.

Thought Williams has been excellent against Salah.

OTBC

[Pyro Pete 1,921]

So far, so good.

Can they keep it up though?

[Capt. Pants 4,284]

Well played City, good half.

Need to keep working hard and simply have to take our chances. Sargent looks well off the pace still and Tmikas getting too many attempts at goal.

[Fuzzar 1,703]

Very creditable first half, but we're having to work so hard just to stay in the game. That's probably going to kill us as the game progresses. 

Both full backs excellent. Pukki has to at least hit the target.

All things considered, I think we’ve held our own. Just need to keep composure when we have possession.

It looks like Williams has almost figured out Salah.

[The Real Buh 3,482]

Did well in spells but way too much respect for them. Too much time for them. Need to impose ourselves on them a bit. Put their flairy kn0bhead players on their ar5es a bit.

Liverpool are a passionate team, it’s their weakness, you CAN wind them up. Especially show-pony Henderson who bites every time and “gets away with murder” Van Dijk

[BaltimoreBird 127]

No way we can absorb that for another 45 unscathed. We have to put one in and preferably be the first to do it. Hang on.

This is all well and good, but it ignores the fact that when he was signed, he was said to be one for the future.

As has been said a million times before, the only question then is, could we afford to sign a player for the future for that amount rather than find a player who could be good for the now, or add it to a transfer pot and sign a £15-20m player rather than an £8-9m player. That debate will never end, with hindsight being wonderful.

 

Just going back to this, when he was signed he was described as having lots of potential and being one of the brightest offensive talents at his age in Europe. That’s not the same as one for the future.

I’m not exactly sure what your argument is and what your contesting about what I said.

Theres no way the club spent the money on him and said what was said about him if he wasn’t expected to play some part this season. Sargent was also spoke of similarly and signed for a similar fee and yet has been an ever present.

Yes it’s hindsight, all comments about previous transfers are, but the fact is so far Tzolis is not looking like he was a good transfer for this season.
