Thread | Watching the Forest v Palace game and noticed something

Both teams seem to commit far more players into the opposition box than we do. Seen this in other games as well. Other than the final 15 minutes of games we only ever seem to have a couple of players in the box.
No goals so far but loads of attacks and chances. |

But having just watched Spurs make a tactical change at half time that turned their game against West Ham, the timing of our changes is very predictable.
It was obvious at half time that the midfield needed more pace, that O’Shea would not offer an attacking threat we needed to get back into the game at 2-0 down and that Burns was ineffective on the right. Yet KM sticks to the same game plan that clearly isn’t working before making changes at pretty much the same time we do in every other game.

Negatives
Giving the opposition goals by making silly mistakes. 8 games in the coaching staff should have fixed these issues. Diche fixed Everton's early season wobbles after 5 games.
O'Shea not a right back. Offers nothing going forward.
Burns not a Premier League player.
Morsy chasing shadows and being afraid to make a tackle in order to avoid a suspension.
Phillips seems to have gone off the boil. This has coincided with Morsy playing in second gear.
McKenna's stubbiness over selections. Omari offers so much more on the right. Leaving Szmodics on the bench far too long.
Positives
Omari on the right. Did more in the final 15 minutes than Burns did for the previous 75. By a long way.
Woolfie, Burgess, Clarke all looked comfortable. Clarke offered an attacking threat that O'shea didn't.
Delap working his nuts off and giving 100% for every minute he was on the pitch.
Southampton permanently psychologically scarred by today's defeat to Leicester.
Can anyone else add anything? |

Is McKenna getting a bit of the McCarthy bloodymindedness with his selections?
edit. Sorry Frimmers didn't see your post. [Post edited 19 Oct 17:02]

I'll start this one with a few examples, for anybody who believes that Al Jazeera's reporting of the events in the middle east is "unbiased".
Three of the four hostages rescued by Israeli special forces from Gaza in June were held at the home of Abdallah Aljamal, a Palestinian journalist and member of Hamas who contributed to Al Jazeera.
Al Jazeera anchorman Jamal Rayyan, one of the network’s most prominent figureheads, celebrates the first anniversary of the savage October 7 Hamas attack on Israel with a series of posts hailing the “resistance” and calling on Arab countries to support it, even if “secretly.”
Rayyan, who has 2.3 million followers on X and lives in Doha, pins on his X account an image of rockets resembling fireworks flying out of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, with a shining number 7 in the middle.
“This is the day that restored the nation’s dignity and prestige,” Rayyan writes in the caption.
In a number of other posts he publishes on the first anniversary of the massacre by Hamas, he lashes out at Arab countries that support Israel, calling them “Arab Zionists,” and urges them “not to bet on the victory of the Zionist entity,” to reconsider their calculations and “secretly support the resistance.”
Sanaa El-Younoussi, Middle East editor for Al-Jazeera in English, retweeted a post that she first posted on October 7, 2023. She also added a video, and wrote, "If only all days could taste like that day."

These are just some very recent examples. I'm not sure why anyone would honestly believe that Al Jazeera is "unbiased" in it's coverage of the middle east when it is owned by the deeply anti semitic and homophobic Qatari state, a country where the leaders of Hamas live in absolute luxury.

Thread | Look at me post

Just done the Glasgow Half marathon. 2 hours 15 minutes. 17 minutes slower than last year, 40 minutes slower than my PB, but mitigating circumstances. Even though I booked months ago I haven’t run for over a month. Done no training as I’ve not felt great. Only went as a support for the Mrs who came in 15 minutes quicker than me.
Now feel like sh1t but I’m pretty pleased. |

Need to raise our game to Aston Villa levels. This is more like our performance against Southampton. |

I’d be absolutely appalled if McKenna gave a post match interview like that. |
