Didn’t realize he’s like 4 foot tall but he’s fast as shit, made some nice passes, and was very solid defensively.

Already the best fullback on the team, I’d say.

Was on the championship team of the season for burnley (on loan) last year. Can get out of position sometimes in the attack but typically makes it worthwhile because of his passing range and offensive acumen. Has a good shot and is decent on free kicks as well.

Poch seemingly didn't trust him against PL attacks and only played him at wing for us and he still looked decent in the few minutes he got.

Still can't understand the loan personally.

What a comeback. Still the best player in the league it seems.

If he stays fit it's probably City's title to lose again.

Liverpool will drop points without Salah and Arsenal are dropping points even with their best eleven.

Yeah, they have basically no margin for error if they want to finish above City.

I think City will win the league again (though who knows if any punishment will effect them eventually for this season), but I dont see them going on a 10+ game winning streak this year. Them winning today is massive though.

How fun being punished for having players of national team level.

Edit: Viaplay is operating with huge losses in Baltics and there was announcement they'll exit our market starting from 2024. Now the exit is shifted to mid-2025 (probably wasn't easy to get out of the major contracts), however they cut the Baltics commentary, so now I have to watch EPL in Swedish. But of course, no pricing discounts.

It is what it is. You always have to keep that in the back of your mind when signing African or Asian players. I think Forest are missing like 6 or 7 players this month because of the Africa Cup.

:( Dude this sucks so bad... and it's 100% Terzic's fault. I'm praying that it's only a loan and after the season they/he reconsider.

He's one of their best players, if not their best, but he just never gets a chance to play. Even when he scores or dominates in his sub minutes, he never gets a real chance. He's earned a starting spot a hundred times over but it doesn't matter. Not to mention he's exactly what they need so desperately: someone who can help the buildup through the middle and create scoring chances, which they can't even do against relegation teams this year.

I mean shit, look at the numbers.

Maatsen has been great in his first two games. Extremely impressed. Chelsea should really give him a chance next year.

Nice steal and assist today

Poch is rumored to want a "big" defender. The only way he isn't sold is if we can find someone to take Cucarella, sadly. Too much in wages tied up in the LB position (Chillwell, Cucarella, Maatsen and this year, Colwill).

Damn, that’s too bad.

Dortmunds dipshit manager is also obsessed with size, but at the striker position. Our smaller guy is like twice as good and far younger.

Yeah, Poch has been playing probably our best CB as a LB. There wasn't even a need to...Maatsen was healthy even when Chillwell and Cuca weren't. Just doesn't trust him because he's small but as you can see - he's very good

If you got Peacock for the Premier League, they also have a new Ted prequel series on there that’s worth checking out if you liked the movies.
