I'd like to be 3 up and they get a late consolation, than 1 up, concede a late equaliser, but somehow eek out a win.

people always want to put Riyad in a central role but he's shocking there

He is central on the formation I have shown but I would give him a free role just infront of the midfield.

And everywhere else.

View attachment 13899 Why do you object to people having an opinion that is different from yours, and why is your automatic response to an opinion that is contrary to yours that we must all be bed wetters? Can you accept that people have opposing views?

I hate that cartoon. The creator of the number must have had an intention in mind, ie it is either a 6 or a 9, ergo one of them is objectively wrong. Just because nobody knows for sure which is the right answer, that doesn’t make the wrong one any less wrong.

 

[LudlowFox]

It's a matter of perspective innit.

 

[Blue Maniac]

It's a matter of perspective innit.

No, that’s my entire point

 

[LudlowFox]

and mine!

 

[homer]

It's clearly a nine

That twat who thinks it's a six is just a bed wetting bus wanker.

I hate him

I know where you wanted him but he allows himself to be bullied there, he basically has 2 moves, cut inside at around the edge of the 18 yard box and shoot or run to the by line then drive into the box to win a penalty.

Despite all his technical skill he doesn't seem to have developed his game in a couple of years and gets lost if played as a 10

Normally I would agree with you, but after years spent on this forum I'm inclined to think that all football-related statements lack truth value and should only be thought of as emotive responses

Authorial intent is a slippery business.

It is a bit shite I agree.

Agree with that. My comment was just about the cartoon really.

Yeah, I hated that overanalysing wankery my English teachers used to do.

You see 6, I see 9, then

Except, I didn't say and have never said that you shouldn't have your opinion. Just because I think your opinion is tripe or that it is based on spurious, childish nonsense, doesn't mean I think you shouldn't have it or that I, in some way, 'object' to you having it.

It also doesn't mean that it can't or shouldn't be questioned though. That's the nature of things isn't it? Now stop being so overly sensitive and get back to panicking about a football season with only 7 games (3 of which were against the current top 5, 1 against a team who will probably finish there) gone.

Now if you don't mind, I'm going to get back to looking forward to the car crash of tonight's match thread.

Both are wrong, as it was my intention to make it an eight - but I ran out of paint...
