Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [18th - 21st August 2017]

Austin stepping up for the penalty...

Yes, saves the game.

Shouldn't be winning like that but 3 points are 3 points.

Assuming we don't concede in the last 30 seconds
 
That'll do nicely.

+ We won
+ We didn't concede
+ Robertson was outstanding
+ We rested players for the Champions League game

- Our midfield lacks creativity without Coutinho and Lallana in the team
 
It's not as though they just sold him... he left on a Bosman, basically (although with compensation because of his age). I'm assuming they'd've liked to have kept him, but wouldn't offer him as much money and/or first team opportunities.

BTW, is Coutinho actually out with a back injury, or is he not being played whilst Barca are trying to unsettle him?
I don't think he is injured myself, he looked perfect in pre-season but as some one who suffers from back pain and have done for years you can look fine.

Regarding solanke where and who has said we have paid 3m in compensation??

If they wanted to keep him they should probably have given him a few games here and there...instead they spent nearly 40mil on Batshuayi and well imo he isnt as good.
 
Geezus we just can't defend can we, Stoke score just after HT to make it 1-0.

Wonder how many goals our **** poor defence will concede today :/.
