There’s no rule that requires a team play “pretty” football or “entertaining” football. Just ask West Ham.

 

I know it's only against Barrow (whooooo?) but that Joao Felix assist is a chef's kiss moment.

 

I was charmed by the pre-assist pass by Veiga to Felix, very well done

 

My old band was called Barrow. Didn’t know there was a club named after us.

 

They named a whole town after you.

 

There’s a lot of Barrows in the uk, although this one is actually Barrow-In-Furness which makes it sound much more metal than it actually is.

I was very near there earlier today for work. Don’t know much about the town but my god the Lake District is beautiful if you love a good walk/hike.

 

Nice reminder that all refs suck, no matter the league.

 

Apparently we might be playing a 16 year old goalkeeper later. Raya got a knock on the City game, Neto is cup tied, and Setford is injured.

Could be a fun one for neutrals if he has a nightmare.

 

Varane has retired. Injuries really did destroy him the last few years. Great player, great man.

 

Christ I wish I could have retired from my job at 31.

 

He still deserves whatever punishment comes, but at least good to see he learned from it.

 

Bodo/Glimt beating Porto in Europe would be a feel good story.

 

and then Määttä gets himself sent off for diving

 

Porter, Nichols, Lewis-Skelly, Nwaneri - four teenage debut starts. Hope they all play well. Particularly the last two.

 

My fault!

 

Oh shit, they just went 3-1 up!

EDIT: Finished 3-2 to Bodo/Glimt.

 

We really really need to give Amad more help on the pitch. He’s too wide, with very little backup either from midfield of Mazraoui.

 

Cracking Twente save.

 

Nice finish by Eriksen.

 

I don’t think we get top 4 this season but my god we look so much better than last season.

 

Not a particularly exciting half, but fun to see Miles and Ethan look very comfortable.

We’re definitely playing very conservatively. Quite clearly don’t want to end up knackering ourselves.

2-0, would like to see another one, and then take off someone like Saka

 

Bruno is a shit footballer who is capable of world class moments, never seen such an “important” player be this much of a detriment to his team’s attempts to play competent football.

 

Slot has certainly got Liverpool's attack working from what I've seen of Liverpool. Good early sign.
