The 2022 World Cup
Had Germany in a sweep, spewing, think they made a look overlooking Hummels, I know he's not the future but they looked a bit sloppy at at times in the back

The 2022 World Cup
I'm very critical of Arnie, especially his tactical inflexibility. He coached the last 2 games well i will give him that. Tournament football is a unique beast. You can afford to play a low block and rely on on occasional transition and try steal a goal which we have done the last 2 games. Just wish he had reacted sooner vs France. Definitely helps Denmark weren't at the their best, but can only beat who is front of you.

Medical Sub OUT Tactical Sub IN
I guess with 23 rotating, if there is an injury they are disadvantaged, but at at the end of the day injuries happen so teams will always benefit/suffer as a result and you cant really create a perfect system here. i'm sure they will tinker with it until the day i die aha At least the Tactical sub won't be as manipulated as much as the medical one was.

The 2022 World Cup
Incidents like the Ronaldo one have increased in the VAR era, player knows if there is contact the VAR unlikely to reverse the penalty. There were a few incidents in Serie A last season where the VAR cottoned on to the player initiating the contact. Wish more VAR officials were that brave.

The 2022 World Cup
Having watched the Tunisia vs Denmark game, I am not sure I have the confidence you do @Macca Denmark have also beat France twice in the last 8 months, will be curious to see how that games goes this weekend.

The 2022 World Cup
Atkinson had an extremely rough evening, Mbappe paired with T.Hernandez were brilliant on that wing, they had a great connection. Questionable coaching and Arnie go arm in arm. Think the smarter plan instead of a 4-1-4-1 would have been a 5-3-2 or similar. France too good, were always going to be too good, we just let them roll over us. Onto Saturday!

another yikes moment on the weekend, absolute criminal recruitment strategy and I should know United have spent the larger part of a decade not buying what they need and wasting $

In what Universe??
Another social media take designed for clicks and outrage, i know our forwardline a little iffy but surely we should be a bit higher.

2022 Player Reviews: #25 Tom McDonald
Yep hoping for a big 2023 from him. Will be interesting to see how much of a missing link he is/was. On a side note based on your icon; I watched Marked for Death on the weekend

Grew up hearing the same, and now when I hear that song I sing "Pistachio, Pistachio, a kind of nut' But back to the thread, for me - boring name + number of fav growing up, Big Jim

Welcome to Demonland Josh Schache
In an ideal world with no injuries, not sure either would crack our best 22 (regularly) but we'll see.

Farewell Brodie Grundy
Saw an angry Collingwood fan call him a 'trader' for leaving - enjoyed that one
- Game plans, tactics and all that jazz

Welcome to Demonland Pick 13
Gryan won a flag, so you never know

Farewell Brodie Grundy
Simultaneously a shame for us and also funny at Collingwood, so somewhat of a win?

Farewell Luke Jackson
Most said we paid overs for Lever, ended up winning a Flag so if we did it was worth it. If LJ signed a 7 year deal and plays a part in a winning flag there i'm sure they'll say it was worth it. You can afford to pay overs if you're bringing in the right person and selecting the right picks. The Lever deal got us a pick we used on Petty, few years down the line, a great trade for us

Sort of a panic, United were sniffing about which made LFC act quicker. Either way happy with Antony, settled into PL life v quickly.

Farewell Sam Weideman
Last night I was very firm that we did need him. But provided we have a healthy Tmac and developing JvR I think we'll be right especially as head into a Gawn/Grundy era
