HarvSFC Posted 6 February, 2022 Share Posted 6 February, 2022 I only watched the last two Egypt matches in the tournament, but Salah was anonymous in both. Looked overall, and he only scored two goals in the tournament, despite playing the full 90 and then extra-time where required in each of Egypt's 7 games. Although, to be fair Egypt only managed four goals overall. So, I guess he did bag 50% of their goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Wayman Posted 7 February, 2022 Share Posted 7 February, 2022 Fantastic result for Notts Forest although one suspects that Leicester 'threw' this one because of their fixtures pile-up and Europen ambitions. Nevertheless, Forest under Cooper look the real deal. He's becoming a superb manager and if Forest continue the way they are then they will have a very good chance of promotion. Can they keep hold of Cooper remains to be seen but good to see a Brit manager coming good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly done well wherever he has been, he did a decent job at Swansea too and got them close to promotion a couple of times. Weirdly the Swansea fans felt his football was a bit stale and boring and they were desperate for a change of manager, I wonder if they still think that as they sit towards the bottom of the Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salah is the exception for their squad re quality. Compare their team to Senegal and their is a huge gulf in class. Expecting more from Salah would be like putting him in lower championship team, telling them to park the bus, and then expecting him to shine vs a top 6 prem team imo.

A game littered with stoppages for free kicks. Ref's reluctance to follow through on his card decisions meant there were bookable, persistent fouls in the second that were let go. He booked someone for winning a header at one point. Yet, he was always in control of the game and there weren't too many complaints from the players. He did offer his book and whistle to Salah, after some complaining as if saying "are you running this game?" Agreed , Mane should've been off but ref bottled it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Keef Posted 7 February, 2022 Share Posted 7 February, 2022 Congratulations to Boreham Wood for beating the "biggest" team on he south coast. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Changing subject - Well played Nottingham Forest too. I popped over to the Leicester "Foxes Talk" Forum. They definitely think Brendan Rodgers has lost the dressing room and want him out. Vestergaard gets quite a few mentions as their worst signing ever.........and he didn't even play yesterday. They say whoever sanctioned his signing should be sacked. I have to say, without Vardy (as much as I dislike him) they don't look a great outfit and one wonders where they would have been and what they would have achieved without his goals for the past few seasons. And Maddison.....Mr Billy Big Bollocks.....undoubtedly a talented footballer, but to me, his attitude stinks and I actually think we dodged a bullet by not signing him him. It makes me wonder, when they got Bertrand (on a free) and paid big money for Vestergaard, why they didn't also buy Wesley Hoedt for £25m at the same time. I think they missed a trick there. 😉 In seriousness I do find it odd that they signed two defenders (half of the back four) that leaked so many goals last season. My prediction: Brendan will be the next Prem manager to go...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvSFC Posted 7 February, 2022 Share Posted 7 February, 2022 He has done very well to be fair. Used his contacts to make some smart loans at Swansea on their limited budget. Guehi, Gallagher, Woodman and Brewster when he was good among the names. Swansea’s “money”did run out in the summer, hence why they let one of their better players in Andre Ayew leave on a free and Jamal Lowe going to Bournemouth. He left over a month after the play-off defeat, so it does look more like it was his decision and now Swansea have gone from 4th to 16th. He’s doing similar at Forest. Panzo, Surridge and Davis, he’d have all known from the England setup and when he took over Forest they were in 22nd. They’re now 8th and he holds a 56.5% win record.

LiberalCommunist Posted 8 February, 2022 Share Posted 8 February, 2022 Big week of football starts tonight. The bottom teams kick it off, and I'm not getting complacent just yet, I want them to all lose. Toon V Everton, a draw, but wouldn't begrudge the blues a nice solid 3 pts here.

Newcastle v Everton is one where you'd want both to somehow come out with no points. But Newcastle are on a different level of dislike for me, so seeing them thumped heavily in every game until the end of the season would be nice. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted 8 February, 2022 Share Posted 8 February, 2022 I think it’s more likely to be Brentford, they took a lot of people by surprise at the start of the season but have since been found out. Key players not firing on all cylinders. They’re very much on the slide. It’ll be between Brentford, Watford, Burnley and Norwich for the drop.
