General Football Discussion Thread

[Just Juice]

I did ask Barry to move my thread that I accidentally posted in Sports over to here. Think he's forgotten.

I completely missed that there was a separate section and was baffled why there was no Football/Soccer thread.

This is what I posted in that one:

Liverpool are back on track (thank god). Losing 5 in a row would have almost certainly seen Arne Slot sacked.

5 different goalscorers, 14 shots on target from 18 in total is an absolute world apart from how they have been playing so far this season. 2 assists for Floran Wirtz. Should have been a goal for FW as well if Salah had just passed the ball instead of going for it himself.

It's all well and good doing this again Frankurt though, but respectfully, doing this again at the weekend against Brentford will be more difficult. Not because Brentford are a better team, but because of the mental factor of how they have been playing. Hopefully I'm actually wrong about that and this boosts the confidence massively and they go into that game firing from all angles like tonight.

All in all, good night. Nice to see them actually win. Onto Saturday!

I agree

I'm also a football fan (support Chelsea) but not really feeling it this season. Still watching and think there's been some good matches, but I think part of it is that Chelsea has changed so much recently. I do not like the new owners one bit. Hopefully I'll adjust but something feels a bit off to me, personally.

Also, lol Dyche won his first game at Forest (against Porto nonetheless). Makes Ange look even worse in fairness to him, that appointment made little sense in the first place.

Slot was never getting fired.

Newcastle are playing rubbish in the second half. Fulham are playing us off the park. Its 1-1

We won!! Bruno scored in the 90 minute.

6 Points outta 6 this week.

I don't know so much. That is a lot of money to spend to lose 5 games in a row.

John Henry would have been twitching.

Newcastle are finally inching themselves closes to being one of the better teams in the league. Wasn't able to watch them today as I was at work busy but 3 points is 3 points.

Five games in a row but still in touching distance of the top of the league, he won the league last year would be stupid to sack him after a few bad games.

You're just saying that because you were enjoying it haha.

No, I know what you're saying. I'm not saying I wanted it to happen either. I'm just saying our owner has never been one to crack open his wallet for Liverpool. At least nowhere near what he spends on the Red Sox. So he finally does and then they go on a horrific run and I would not have been surprised to see a panic sacking.

Obviously that didn't happen and I'm glad it didn't and that we won. I hope we win tonight also... but still nervous.

Also, 3 wins in a row for... them.

BRENTFORD!!!!!!

More related to Liverpool's struggles but... Unfancied relegation fodder second in October whilst recent champions shit the bed. I'm getting Leicester flashbacks.

Liverpool once again didn't deserve to win that game but what I will say is, if that is penalty for Brentford, then the one Liverpool had turned down just before half time was also a penalty.

Absolutely desperate for Marc Guehi in January because the defence might as well just not be there at time.

Damn, I shoulda tuned into Brentford-Liverpool.

Sunderland were quite good today, as much as Chelsea shit the bed lol. Their winner involved some hilarious defending, followed by our keeper running up for our last-minute corner... only for the corner to be hit straight into the side netting
