  1. It's a strange one with Bell. On his debut you couldn't stop him from flying forward and he looked full of confidence, taking players on. But he hasn't really played like that since and seems to be getting worse if anything. I'm not sure whether he's under any instruction not to be too adventurous but you'd think him and Nyambe on the flanks would be perfect for getting up and down. I'm sure there's a player in there somewhere.....
  2. I thought Leutweiler looked a bit shaky when we drew 3-3 with Crewe in the FA Cup last year, from memory I think their second and third goals came from corners or crosses that at the time I thought he could have come out and dealt with. Hopefully though on Saturday he can do a decent job if he's playing.
  3. We completely gifted them that. First half we were in control and Swansea looked like they were going through the motions. We can't keep ending up with 3 players out of position when we take Graham off. Dack isn't a striker, Brereton isn't a winger. So frustrating to throw away a game we were comfortable in.
  4. Great video that. What a legend.
  5. They've only won two out of their last seven in the league, both wins coming against teams in the bottom 3. As with every game in this league, absolutely nothing at all to fear.
  6. Decent looking team, glad it's been mixed up a bit. Rothwell stands out every time he comes off the bench so looking forward to seeing him from the start.
  7. Would have had Rothwell or Reed, or both, in. They both look full of enthusiasm and energy and Rothwell has played well every time he's played. Nevertheless, come on Rovers!
  8. QPR must be truly dreadful.
  9. Great result and what an opportunity to make it two wins in a row on Wednesday. COYB!
  10. True about Dack though. Some players are so important to a team that they should be on the pitch at all times (unless, say, 3-0 up and coasting with 10 mins left). I'd say Dack is that important to us.
  11. If Chaddy says it's a bizarre post then it's almost certainly bang on. No different here.
  12. Jagielka I think. Great stuff!
  13. Rovers are doing a poll on Facebook and Twitter asking if goal music should be kept. Get voting to remove it people.
  14. Pre-injury Ronaldo (he essentially missed 3 full seasons around the turn of the century) had it all. He did exceptionally well to reinvent himself as a pure goalscorer after that but yeah, he was on another level before his injuries.
  15. Unreal that from Mbappé.
  16. Henderson's better than most give him credit for but Matuidi is certainly better. 0-0 HT. Belgium started off well, having a lot of possession but France have had the best sights of goal.
  17. That Italy team was superb! Buffon, Cannavaro, Nesta, Pirlo, Gattuso, Totti, Del Piero etc......correct on the other two however!
  18. Well, we did have Cairney who's better than them all!
  19. Mbappé again! Absolutely superb. No one in his age group can match him.
  20. Mbappé what a player! Keeper should have gone with his feet though. And that goal from Pavard was quality. Love that technique, just like Nacho's for Spain.
  21. One of England, Colombia, Sweden or Switzerland in the semi's. Crazy.
  22. That's not true though, is it? Real Madrid got fewer points than Spurs last season. Don't let Sky Sports/Talksport or whoever it is spoonfeed you your opinions. The PL from 7th down last season seemed extremely low on quality. And that's with teams like Bournemouth being able to spend £25m on one player and Palace spending almost £60m on two players without anyone batting an eyelid. Are you serious? I'm a big Hughes fan but his Stoke side shipped loads of goals. Warnock's a great Championship manager but he's always near the bottom of the PL. So considering he's done it v Ferguson's United, Mourinho's Real Madrid, Allegri's Milan and Juve, Ancelotti's PSG, Guardiola's Bayern and City, Simeone's Atletico, Conte's.........actually, I'll stop there, can't believe I'm having to try and justify Lionel Messi being able to score against Cardiff and Southampton.
  23. There's nothing bang average about Lionel Messi and Barca certainly aren't world class atm. "Put him at Crystal Palace" is like when people try and diminish Pep's achievements by saying something like "he couldn't do as well as Dyche at Burnley". We'll never know because the best players and managers are at the best clubs. I have no doubt that Messi would score a hatful against the powerhouses of Huddersfield, Watford and Bournemouth. I don't watch enough La Liga to know about the teams in there (and I doubt you do either?). There probably have been players that have scored more in Spain than England but there are cases where players have thrived more in England. Salah scored 15 in each of his two full seasons in Italy, he's just come over here and bagged 32. It can happen, depends on a lot of different circumstances. And Messi didn't score against Chelsea for a while but regularly did v Arsenal and United.
  24. Let's not pretend Messi wouldn't tear the Premier League a new one. He's scored loads of goals v United, Arsenal, Chelsea etc in the Champions League (a goal a game on average v English teams I think, and them being the top PL teams), won games on his own v other top foreign teams like Bayern, PSG. Does he need to score against the poor teams from 7th down in the Premier League to prove himself? No idea what Argentina are playing at though. Dybala and Higuain stuck on the bench, Icardi at home. Crazy.
