Terrible striker very one dimensional and can’t play with his back to goal

Juve wins with two goals from players they wanted to get rid of this summer.

Conte Is beyond hopeless in the market, we really f**ked up loading our squad with his rubbish in the summer 2017.

Conte actually gave Brendan Rodgers a good run for his money when it comes to transfers. Bakayoko and Drinkwater, absolutely criminal, and he had the nerve to go on about transfers and now having enough say, it's obviously he had too much say given his activity at Inter.

In fairness I don't actually think Drinkwater was his idea but the rest of them that summer have his paws all over them. Always use to cringe when people said "he won us the title so we should give the guy full backing in the market", I dread to think where we would be now If we kept him and gave him another stab at it.

There's absolutely no way Bakayoko and Morata would have got the chances they got if they weren't his signings, the guy played mind games with the board to the point he basically threw a game away to City to prove a point (which is why I'll never be able to support his endeavours in any other club and was happy when Higuain got the winner tonight). There's absolutely no chance they would have got the chances they got had they been forced on Antonio.

To be fair to Conte a fully motivated version is a formidable force but his record at transfers and his volatile nature (he makes Jose look like a harmless pussycat with no teeth) will always mean he can never achieve a long or even medium spell anywhere.

The City transfer policy is biting them hard this season, they bought replacement for Fernadino and a good second choice right back for big money, but failed to replace the central defender. Pep had a habit of ignoring that part of the field, and against better teams he's paying for it. It's obvious whom the title favor is, but there are still 30 games to go, and plenty of dramas to come.

Losing to Newcastle is about as low as it could get for any top teams, the fact it wasn't even a lucky win made it so much worse.

Pep always put centre midfielders as center back, he dit it with macherano, javi martinez and now fernandinho... i mean his teams always have 70% possesion and make tactical fouls so they are rarely in danger situation.

I agree that show was classy.

Glentoran player receives a second booking and then being sent-off for not following ref's instruction to leave the pitch at the nearest point. Am not aware of this happening in the rest of the U.K. Anyone knows if it has happened?

As someone else said this has been conveniently edited. Doesn’t show what happened before punch but cop tells him to get off so assume the guy had been grappling with him. That being the case probably had justification in putting him back. I’ve seen peelers get hauled into a crowd and it’s not pretty.

Has the "he's not that kind of player" been wheeled out yet?

Coventry City release a 3rd kit to mark the 40th anniversary of 2 Tone. I'm much too young to remember 2 Tone.

Oh man that's a nice strip, I'm actually tempted to buy that even though its Coventry.
