He'll start against Man City and have a blinder, i reckon.
I quite like the Maupay-Trossard-Locadia front three, andone and maupay are too similar, gross and Murray don't have pace, those three would be our most potent counter attacking force

Good! If he does stay he needs to look way more interested than he did against Saints. That cameo shouted bad attitude to me

I agree with KG. . . . Maupay and Trossard, but would favour Gross over Locadia . . . . Locadia may be strong but hes no quicker than Gross . . . . Gross can hit a cows arse with a banjo. in fact he could hit its ring piece from 50m with a ball.
and yes Icy, bad attitude . . . . appears like it.

They are waiting at the Amex, engines running and stereo system disconnected just in case Jurgen wants to play some of his new tunes on the way
Ernest has kicked off and demanded that he gets the job too

Haven't read the whole thread.. I think the opportunity against Saints is much harder than people seem willing to acknowledge. A high bouncing ball, a defender diving in at the point of contact, the GK a couple of feet away, a defender moving to far post.. Trying to take the ball with the right foot, in some kind of Ibrahimovich, acrobat stylee ? Deciding in nano-second to let the ball come across body onto the weaker foot, but at a much more manageable height, knowing that to lash it into the roof is only realistic option looks to me to be a pretty reasonable approach. Then we are down to the reality of lashing at a bouncing ball, with the weaker foot - he was an inch or so from getting it perfectly right?
The offside element - we will see this a lot more in the early part of the season... defenders instructed/happy to move up far quicker from corners, holding much higher lines at free-kicks and not moving, knowing VAR will see them right.. attacking coaches will need to devise new strategies, new ways of beating this, players running in from deeper positions as the kicks are delivered for example.

The only German media talking about it are the red tops that have lifted it from the Dutch source. Not a mention in Kicker, one of the largest if not biggest printed & online football news outlet. I suspect if the story had legs they would surely have posted something.

Apart from anything else, Hoffenheim must have a pretty lousy recruitment team if they believe Locadia is the answer to any problems they may have, even on a loan basis. Baffling that a Bundesliga club should come in for the player in the first place. Might have expected a bid from the Dutch Walking Football League aka Eredivisie but beyond that? What are they thinking? Don't they have scouts that go out and watch prospective signings, or do they just rely on highly-edited Greatest Hits vids?

If Locadia is the answer, what on Earth is the question? Could I have 75kgs of prime burger meat please, perhaps?
Yep so that means he was adjudged to not be interfering with play, but why the f**k would you take that chance, unless caught out in that position. Whoever that was clearly understood the rules and made sure he kept out of the way, Burn for some reason didn't, the question is WHY? As [MENTION=205]Tom Hark[/MENTION] has already said in another thread, sure he has been bloody marvellous, but goals are frigging hard to come by and he has cost us 2 and had JL scored (admittedly he was OS as well) it would have been 3. He was also ball watching for the Saints second. Hopefully GP can tighten up his game as he has massive potential, but he cant keep costing us goals.

Yeah but we are talking about Locadia, no leeway because he is shitehouse anyway
No room for a considered opinion on this
Slightly harsh on Burn there...
1. He created the West Ham "goal". Had he not been there, it wouldn't have happened in the first place.
2. Had Locadia been onside and hit the target, I don't think the goal would have been ruled out as Burn would be deemed to be not active/not interfering with play/whatever the terminology is now.

Probably not - do you think that VAR would have allowed the goal anyway? call me a pessimist but......
