Redcar Rioja 5,872 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Barnsley are 1-0 down at half time with nothing to lose. Swansea can be susceptible when they aren't being awarded penalties in added time. I'd hope Barnsley come out and go for the Swans as they can definitely be rattled. Link to post Share on other sites

AnglianRed 6,229 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Not exactly surprising...he must be ready for retirement now. As Rioja says, its vital they get a good manager in, or else they will be in trouble. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Rumour is Lampard for the job after he leaves. Could be a good appointment but golly they have to do something about the state of that squad. Average age is nearly 30, they've barely changed in the time Hodgson has been there.

Got about 15 first team players out of contract in the summer to be fair, so can clear the decks massively if needs be. But whoever comes in has a job to do getting replacements in if they went that route, admittedly you'd probably want to keep a few of them on. Lampard has been earmarked for the job since he got the chop at Chelsea. Howe still hasn't moved to Celtic, as was seeming very likely, he could be a good candidate too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

As much as they've had years in the Prem, it does very much feel like they've just existed there for years without doing much of note. Bringing in a manager like Lampard is a risk to take on that job of rebuilding them but so long as they're not fussed about relegation happening in the short term, it could pay off in the long term. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely could go either way in terms of either pushing the club on or regressing. Think PL money (and keeping it) will be too much of a draw if things go south, so think they'd move quickly if it looked like relegation was on the cards. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Smogzilla 7,385 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Absolute FILTH from Cavani this evening. Wonder how many goals he would have amassed if he rocked up to the prem 8-10 years ago. cavani2 - Mp4 Video 640x360 Mp4-mobile .mp4 Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,039 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I am hopefully not putting the mockers on Leicester by wanting them to get at least a point tonight, but it would be nice., also good luck to Kelty Hearts Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I think Chelsea will win, and I think I almost want them too as it makes it harder for Liverpool to qualify for the Champions League. Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,039 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 So you would rather a club managed by a whiny German got in instead of a club managed by a whiny German.. probably just a personal thing but I have always had a soft spot for Scousers as they are the only other people in the country that know how to pronounce "werk" properly 🙂 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Chelsea were reluctant participants. Ideally both would lose out to West Ham, but they *** it up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,039 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 See your point but Abramovich isn't exactly a saint , so as long as ESL never happens , would still prefer Pool to chelsea Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Forgot Liverpool still had a game in hand. A draw is the best result. Thankfully Iheanacho has just got one back. Link to post Share on other sites
