Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has come to the defence of Ruben Amorim's infamous system but highlights the key difference in his side.

"It's really funny talking about the 3-4-3 system, and I think United have the highest xG in the Premier League for scoring goals," Glasner said.

"Also, now they have players who can play very intense like [Bryan] Mbeumo.

"For me, it's impressive to see. We compared it [their last meeting] to where they are now. I think their work-rate is much higher than it was last year and then they get the reward."

"We're playing the same system," Glasner added.

"So it looks like it's a good attacking system. Also, as we show it, you can have a very good defensive structure with it.

i have to say i am not a fan of the world cup seeding.

very clear what the intended outcome is there. and i was already not a fan of making the qualifying easier

Goes along with the point you made in the transfer thread. I love watching the youth tournaments. I love seeing the worlds best before they are known. I remember Messi at 15 or 16 at the u20 world cup. Same tourney with John Obi Mikel and some other amazing ballers. This last part was just a ranodm rant, but you get me?

Anyway, we got Orozco from Latam recently. Arsenal got these guys. We

Always funny seeing the difference between the ones you think are going to make it and then the ones that make it big that didn't quite stand out at the time.

yes, totally agree.

i think the 2005 world championship was particularly special. i think that was Messi, Agüero, Falcao, Afellay and another big name i can't recall now.

also, not sure what point you wanted to complete at the end there

But Wenger said there wouldn't be a dropoff of quality. As soon as he started getting those Saudi (FIFA) checks he really slotted into a corporate shill role nicely.

In an explosive interview, Mohamed Salah has said his relationship with Arne Slot has broken down and claimed someone at Liverpool does not want him at the club.

The Liverpool star, who signed a new deal at the end of last season, told journalists after the 3-3 draw at Leeds United he could not believe he was named among the substitutes for a third game running and left on the bench for the entirety of the game.

"I have done so much for this club down the years and especially last season," said Salah. "Now I'm sitting on the bench and I don't know why.

"It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus. That is how I am feeling. I think it is very clear that someone wanted me to get all of the blame.

"I got a lot of promises in the summer and so far I am in the bench for three games so I can't say they keep the promise.

He should book a session in with Piers Morgan at this rate.....

Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 · Dec 6, 2025

i am very interested to see how this is judged and the reaction to it. Carragher called for Salah to speak up but i doubt he had this in mind.

from the outside what i see is someone who doesn't speak often (which helps him) but when he does he has zero problem putting the club and/or coach under HUGE pressure.

so many other players would be absolutely pilloried for this but he's perceived as a nice guy and has the padding of his status at liverpool.

this seems like a great start to tarnishing a legacy. it didn't take much for the liverpool fans to turn on Trent who was in the same contractual boat as Salah but actually kept quiet.

attackers are valued far more than defenders in general in this game though

I wonder how the rags will take this - I don't keep up with literally any news here in the UK for good reason, but with the current climate of Farage it'll be interesting to see whether Salah can gain more traction than TAA on that side of support

Holy__Joe · Dec 7, 2025

Also one real positive on this is he's tanked the transfer fee from Saudi's potentially.

Like before it felt like Liverpool would get a close to 100m fee and could then go out and buy a replacement, but this makes it seem much more Ronaldo type scenario. Where they get a 20-30m fee and all that money just tops up the wages.

the UK is an utter mess. like him or not this is completely dumb. people getting arrested for tweets and private texts based purely on how offended some hyper sensitive folks are? pathetic.

this is what they decided was the best use of police resources. woke nonsense at is finest
