Weren't sure about the team selected but it paid off - some very strong performances and Dennis/Cucho with excellent goals. Sarr gave Matt Targett nightmares 1st half so they moved Ashley Young back. We tired somewhat towards the end and gave a silly injury time penalty away but held on. Need to pick up early points as in November we basically have the top 6 from last season in a row.. And Arsenal.. Congrats on your win. What all about this Graham Taylor day they have(It was on football focus) Can you elaborate pls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likes of Grant Hanley still playing at the back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc_forever Posted 14 August 2021 Share Posted 14 August 2021 Interesting to see home advantage being more prominent. Appreciate it’s just the first week, but looks like having fans back in the stadiums is already having an impact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fell off a cliff after that. Hopefully, the same happens to Man Utd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoopla10 Posted 14 August 2021 Share Posted 14 August 2021 I don't know what Arsenal's goal is any more. A few years ago, top four, CL qualification, maybe go on a cup run. And it made sense given their recruitment and managers. They shot high enough to be in the mix but never actually threaten to win the league or the CL. Now what are they? Their recruitment and manager are mid-table fodder at best. There's seemingly no attempt at competing to get back in the top 4 any more. They're still considered a big side but I wonder how long that lasts (outside of historical framing). A lot of their money coming from sponsorship and foreign supporters. But presumable that can't last for ever if they keep finishing in mid-table (or even worse). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he did so much for Watford and built a wonderful side there. Personally, I mainly remember him as Villa manager. He was a fantastic broadcaster and I loved listening to his opinions. He really grew on me and his love of football came across to the fans. He was a very likeable person and deserves to be celebrated. It would be very harsh to remember him as just an England manager that failed. There's been plenty of those. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimd you no one gets much praise in that job ! Southgate has got us to a semi final and final but still feel there is a negative view of him . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
