Alysson - signed

He was playing out of position. Normally right-sided. Odd that we have 3 or 4 that can play on the right and really only Rogers on the left. Again, poor recruitment.

Buendia plays on left. Sancho allegedly prefers it out there. McGinn can do a job.

It just felt odd that we end up playing him out of position on his debut. Surely a more senior player should take on the responsibility.

[DrGonzo]

What has football become if we can’t imagine that a left footed player can play on the left wing? Can he also not head a ball because he has a head?

[DrGonzo]

And I missed the match because I was playing pool…so I missed the debut…did he have a right foot as well as a left?

Is he left-footed? The fashion for inverted wingers will surely die out before the next government.

[DrGonzo]

Bet it doesn’t before the current one does

[Garyth]

Is he left-footed? The fashion for inverted wingers will surely die out before the next government.

Thoughts for the day: How long does something need to exist before it stops being a fashion, and becomes established norm? Is there a phase in-between? Is a 'trend' something different to a 'fashion'? Is the length of time before being called a trend shorter if the speaker is younger?

Is this just evidence I've been listening to the Football Cliches podcast too long?

[Hillbilly]

I'd ask if he's any good at taking penalties but it seems a moot point this season.

[cdbearsfan]

We might have to take five or more tomorrow.

[London Villan]

Where was he last night?

Where was he last night?

Out on the piss in Dublin with his mates.

Picked up “a knock in training” and they decided not to risk him according to The Athletic.

Presume we’ll see him some time in December 2028.

Picked up “a knock in training” and they decided not to risk him according to The Athletic.

Presume we’ll see him some time in December 2028.

So he arrived injured, played for 25 minutes and has now picked up another knock?

This kid’s gonna fit right in!

[Tuscans]

Looked quite dynamic, hard working, strong and skillfull in his fleeting cameo. I wonder if we "have to" sell Rogers in the summer he could fill his boots.

[eamonn]

Massive step-up from what he's done in Brazil. I'm surprised he's been integrated so quickly but then we're budgetarily banjaxed so maybe not so surprising.
