I was meant to add that in regarding Liverpool, other scorer was Rodrygo. They had a quality team so now idea why they performed so badly overall through the season. The pace they had in attack just destroyed me and seemes like everytime I pulled a goal back they added 2 more. Could've been a Rugby score and I had plenty of chances as did they, crazy game.
Sorry, I'm Danish, so you may need to elaborate what a Rugby score is... Honestly, I have no idea 😄
Good signings, I think. You started a bit slowly, and I see why the fans almost lost their patience. But Solanke and Chukwuemeka could be a deadly duo for you. The latter has played for Atlético Madrid through the most of my Rangers save, so signing him for Blackburn has to be an arrival to bring a little buzz.

Well it's very common for both sides to end the game with double figures if they don't it's usually cause one side is very poor and they've been annihilated. Without being too stereotypical I'm genuinely surprised we don't have good Rugby Teams from Denmark and surrounding Nations, traditionally your big and bulky and could probably succeed in the sport if there was interest, assuming for the lack of involvement it's not. Did see Denmark has a team from a search but haven't played against any of the main International sides

Thanks. I don't know. I suppose we were among the first nations to embrace football, having DBU as the second oldest football association in the world. We also have a few old football clubs and were among the best nations in the early days, for instance beating the two French teams 9-0 and 17-1 at the 1908 Olympics. We also inherited England's stubbornness in regards to the use of professionals though, so until the 1970's we didn't use a player in our national team, if he played abroad. Hence why we didn't participate in any world cups before 1986.
A bit off topic maybe. But Rugby or Cricket has never really been adopted here. And it gets NO media coverage whatsoever. Football certainly takes the most of the headlines here, whilst handball, badminton, cycling and tennis are probably next in line in terms of media coverage. Cycling may rival football in the three weeks of the Tour de France each summer. And I would guess that handball and badminton are "our rugby/cricket" not being covered that much in England. If that's true, I suppose it's ironic that badminton's main tournament (apart from the olympics) is the "All England" tournament. As far as I know, I don't watch it often.
Awful to concede 5 in 19. That also casts quite a damning verdict on your defence with 13 goals conceded across these 4 games.
Your position in the table is still good, but you would probably have wanted that win at Turf Moor. Awful to lose the win so late in "El Lanclasico".

I feel the Chelsea result was an error on my behalf. I had set up a few team sheets beginning of season and formation I used was 451 flat. I also used this against Brentford previously and what I hadn't realised was I had set up defence on 'Constant Pressure' and this left defence very fatigued, I didn't twig on this previously as I had put it down to playing with 10.men for majority of the match and being bombarded.. however even after freshening up my defence in Chelsea game they tired quickly and once they found a way through my defence was non existent, soon as restarted and attacked lost ball and they were gone or should I say Spinazola was gone.
I have since changed this tactic so hopefully that'll prevent a disaster like that again
22 goals and 22 allowed. At least the team is consistent lol. Midtable is a good position to be in at this point of the season. It might be too early to think about Europe but the position in the table is still very much possible if you can fix the defense.
Decided to make my frustrations at the game into the story. I will start a different thread at some point for the continuation
