Anyone with recent experience of flying to Lanzarote in terms of what is asked for and not asked for. Flying with TUI from BFS

Expected Team would see 9 of the team that started against Spurs 3 years ago starting tonight. Diaz and Thiago for Firmino and Wijnaldum.

He was down the pecking order I believe. Klopp and his backroom team demand very specific things from the players. E.g. positioning with and without the ball, decision making, tactical discipline, pressing. There was a quote from Klopp after the Porto game commending Jones for 'pressing from the blind side'

Against Norwich last week, Jones played the first half in the holding role and didn't look out of place. After the game Klopp described the first half as a bit chaotic and preferred it when Morton was in there and Jones in the 8 position.

Often what we see on TV and the small details Klopp and his team demand can lead to different conclusions.

Jones is still only 20. We saw it with Robertson and Fabinho. Once the requirements of the role and what the manager wants clicks, players can go from strength to strength. Would be great to see Jones grab his chance.

Curtis Jones is some operator
Genuinely he is my favourite Liverpool player at the moment.

I think he is the closest player we have had to Steve McManaman in terms of style since he left in 99. He has great dribbling ability

Your point about Andy Cole is a myth.

GAA Discussion / Friday Night Football
June 08, 2021, 08:45:42 PM
I see some recent debate in various places with regard to football on a Friday night.

I have often thought how fortunate we are in Down to play our football on a Friday night for most of the year. Train Monday & Wednesday. Match Friday.

Some counties may not have the luxury of being able to make such a move with vast travelling distances involved.

Work is so much more enjoyable on a Friday knowing you have the game to look forward to that evening. Whatever the weekend holds in store, the game on a Friday night can turn a good weekend into a great one.

Not surprised to see the likes of Tyrone making the change this year and trust this is popular with players and spectators alike.

I reckon Fabinho will go back in beside Nat at weekend and Milner to start in midfield.

Well, at least they've got 43 points.

Because this is relegation form the past couple of months. They're not even making the UEFA Cup places at this rate.

Thoroughly deserved win for Fulham.

Honestly, I don't see where the next goal is coming from.

I'm seriously worried about Leipzig this week too.

Liverpool only have a two goal lead because they were gifted it. Leipzig could easily overturn it. And even if Liverpool do scrape through, they've haven't a hope in hell of winning the Champions League.

Roll on the end of the season.

No Europe next year and they can rebuild.

Seriously?

Frank Lampard's signings are Football Manager esque transfer business. Gossip column purchases under a manager who has so far not portrayed any capability as a manager in the Prem League. Media like him because he is English and his achievements as a player but that will soon fade. He has severe limitations and already his interviews are littered with excuses and 'appeal for time' style statements. He and Solksjaer are poor managers at this level and their teams do not play with any noticeable identity.

Compare this with what Arteta has done at Arsenal already in his short time there. There is a bit more going on in his brain with a vision and a plan of how to improve his players and his team.

Top 4 this season for me:
Liverpool
City
Arsenal
Leicester

Not sure if Matty ever got called up to county seniors. Denis was in and around squad shortly after his U21 days under wee James I think but wouldn't have got game time in league or championship. The other three were all Senior players who figured for Down last season. Throw Liam Bagnall into the mix there too and that is a lot of talent to be doing without.

Coping without Matty, who has been their top scorer for 11 years for three quarters of Sunday's game, just shows the resilience of that team. Full of admiration  for the work of Tony Bagnall and his management team. A first ever win in Ulster is a great achievement.

I'll second that minus 15. Remember the last time me and you ventured into ulster championship football 😂 we can meet in Armagh next Sunday and reminisce about it

I have been back since with similar results

How about settling the game the way the Ladies hockey was decided the other night. Players attacking from the 50 one on one with a time limit. Or my preference would be 3 attacks each, 2 forwards attacking 2 defenders and GK. Goals only and no time limit. Would be great to watch imo

Rubbish... sure just constantly foul then till time elapsed

Read what I said again.
