told by someone close to the 1st team that a Bournemouth player rang a leeds player he knew and said you've got a good one in Anthony.
the leeds player replied that sinisterra had biscuit bones and a heart the size of a pea!

Rutter missed some big chances, but he had some good moments too, he’s clearly not worth the money we paid for him but he still shows signs that he’s a decent player.

Farke said he wanted to use his pace at 9, but I think he would be more useful outside. But he’s behind Gnonto and Summerville there

Yes agree

yes, he has his moments but he's like a jigsaw.
goes to pieces in the box.
no composure

Jigsaw, that’s funny. My personal favourite was David James being called Dracula because he couldn’t handle crosses.

jigsaw. First used for evertons stuart Barlow way back when

Anyone watch the Angus Kinnear square ball podcast yet? Very good watch, long but well worth watching it all. He’s absolutely scathing about Sinesterra and Adams and the way they behaved. Said they went to extreme lengths to get out which had certain risks to the club.

Some interesting stuff on Bielsa and how Radrizanni didn’t have the money to do what Bielsa wanted them to do with the team. Marsch back room staff was a mess, good guy but should have been sacked at the World Cup break. Gracia lost the dressing room apparently… P&L measures getting tougher on teams who come from prem league and will get tougher still.. they’re trying to stop teams in championship from spending way out of it.

Loads more other stuff and as I say worth a watch and credit to him to be fair. 49ers have some serious coin.

Watched it late last night. Very interesting. Fair play to him coming on for such a long interview, knowing the sort of questions you were going to be asked.

Cannot see GH doing anything similar

I'll listen tonight. cheers

brilliant listen. very recommended

Forgot how good bielsa ball used to be.. https://x.com/alldaylufc/status/1701313 ... tGdr1b7Erw

it was.

defensively it was appalling though which people tend to forget. always amazed me how somebody who analysed everything failed to see, or sort out, a defence that was really easy to play against

Yeah. For it to work fully and for a long period it needed top players in nearly every position. I’d love him to be England manager with the talent in that squad.

not for me. far too easy to play against

Bamford out until at lest end of September. Firpo setback with his injury..what a surprise. Deary me.

Spence has a knock, unlikely to play Sunday also.. honestly it’s as if we’re cursed.
