TFF chit chat 8th and 9th February

[ChrisMBV]

Bournemouth ahead - C Wilson

Harry Wilson smashes a cut-back towards the net but it's blocked and the rebound falls to Callum Wilson who makes no mistake in the box.

Cilson (prob. not Hilson)

1-1

Bournemouth .... cannot clear a corner which Sander Berge keeps alive before Billy Sharp pokes home Enda Stevens' pass.

Sharp (Stevens, Berge)?

[not watching/seen - NO ASSISTS showing on TFF Live]

Corner kick. Then, Someone crossed it back in, someone took a shot and it rebounded off a defender to sharp, who scored. I'm not sure if a kc counts if it has pinballed back into play from a defender?

[murf]

The KCing pass has to have got to the 'intended area' or words to that effect.

Sounds like no KC if it was a rebounded shot rather than BBC's "pass"

2-1
Trustworthy BBC description: John Lundstram ..... set up by fellow substitute Lys Mousset. (TFF Live gives assist)

[dukeg]

Watching on BT Sport
2-1 Lundstram (Mousset, Stevens)

2-1 Lundstram (Mousset, Stevens)

Oooh - finally! The Stevens KC I was promised earlier

Unless of course the city game is now played next weekend...

Unlikely, as they'll be away on their Winter break

[js234]

Will they want a 3 week winter break?

[murf]

Will they want a 3 week winter break?

They haven't had a break. They've been training etc.

Break starts now. Probably just a week, training from a week tomorrow.

[ChrisMBV]

Scores are up.

The National average is a whopping 7.

City heavy at the moment and was going to switch back to Liverpool for Norwich away this weekend. However, City now have two games between the latter and Liverpool's subsequent PL game - West Ham home and Leicester away. Do I stick to the plan or hope a) Liverpool have one eye on Madrid this weekend and b) Guardiola has some consistency of selection forced on him by injuries. Pretty soon I think he's going to lose focus on the league.

[Buster]

Similar cogitation here. If I don't make my MCI LIV moves on Saturday, I'll be doing it on Monday 24th Feb anyway when Liverpool host West Ham

Let's say Mane starts this Saturday and I want him in for KDB, it then becomes a choice between Mane v Norwich or KDB against West Ham and Leicester - and I think I'd just about favour the latter

However with Man City playing in Madrid 4 days after the Leicester game we're very likely to see rotation in City's Prem matches so it's not so cut and dried, especially if it's not KDB but someone like Mahrez, Jesus, Aguero that you're thinking of hanging onto for a little longer.

....and then there's Storm Dennis

[Darbyand]

Pretty much perfectly sums up my thinking! It's probably more like West Ham home Vs Norwich away with anything at Leicester a bonus. Leans towards the former. And maybe "when in doubt do nowt" applies here and you never know, an injury or suspension could change things. Otherwise go for it on the 24th.


Anyway, I think you're my Tenners cup opponent so I'm going to shut up about my teams now.
