If a team wants to make a substitution and the 4th official can’t get the board to work - you don’t just let play restart 3 times until he finally gets it to work - you stop play until he figures it out. You don’t punish a team because the 4th official is incompetent

The music industry is almost built to obstruct folk like Paul Heaton from having long careers that put them in a position where BBC2 can devote an entire evening to their music. And yet somehow, he has swerved every single trap whilst being a profoundly decent human at all times.

Salah was done - time for him to go irrespective of Slot, Hughes,Edwards. If he wasn’t he wouldn’t have ended up in Turkey

Sardinia great place to visit too. Highly recommend Alghero

Looks like France not being arsed in the first half was the real issue

Love Sicily - Cefalù top place to stay

Is Anthony Barry AI generated

John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 18/07/2026
Maybe Harry Kane being allowed to go wherever he wants on the pitch is the problem (and I know France can’t be arsed)

Yeah - made up that twat’s crying hie eyes out now

Tuchel lost the plot - but Rashford is never the answer to anything

John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
Tuchel turning into Southgate at the worst possible time (if you care that much about England 😉 )
000
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 12/07/2026
I like his passion and honesty - maybe that’s just because Southgate was so dull. Also not that bothered about England so his interview was probably more interesting than the game
120
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 12/07/2026
Why - thought it was a good interview. Said England were shit (which they were) but stood up to interviewer when he questioned their mentality - which was the only strength in that game

And hate Quansah. Somehow this is all his fault

John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 15/05/2026
Or maybe they are if they’re sent out with proper tactics
010
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 15/05/2026
Or maybe it just reflects the general mood ?

There are dumb mistakes/unfortunate events made by players in every game - nobody’s perfect - but if the tactics don’t give u the best chance of winning the game then these mistakes are much more costly
000
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
Ok - so if there’s no mistakes Mo’s goal still happens and we win 1-0 - that’s not how football works
000
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
Yeah - my point exactly. If we try to win the game from the start they don’t become crucial
100
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
Yeah - obviously he can’t control things like that - but if you go out to win a game those things don’t end up being as crucial
000
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
Ok - fair enough- it’s not all on Slot. But the tactics are stifling them all over the pitch. Virg is on the way to being done, Mo is done which doesn’t help. But Slot’s tactics are all over the place - and the initial tactic is don’t lose rather than go for the win
110
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
Players are shackled by tactics- it’s all on Slot. Starting tactic is don’t lose and has been since the bad run after first 5 games

John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
Jeez - the Curtis hate does my head in. Gakpo literally tackled him

John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
I’ve watched it back. I suggest you watch Ali’s kicks in recent games - don’t know whether he’s protecting hamstrings but he scuffs so many of them
100
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
Ali had enough time - he just scuffed his clearance
000
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
I don’t agree - your goalie is always your out ball. He had enough time - he scuffed his kick - like he’s been doing for weeks
100
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
So just because we’re not 17th like under Hodgson - these tactics are acceptable ?
000
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
Where’s his options in that clip - nobody shows for a pass.
110
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
What’s he supposed to do - hoof it to one of them the way Ali did. Ali had enough time but his kicking has been atrocious for ages
100
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
But the players are restricted by the tactics - sent out not to lose instead of being sent out to win
000
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
I think that run early in the season broke Slot. Far too concerned with not losing games rather than trying to win them
100
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
I don’t agree - if you’re in the corner under pressure your goalie is the out ball - if he kicks it properly- he had enough time
100
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
Ali had plenty of time - but his kicking has been dreadful for ages
110
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 16/02/2026
.. and it’s so good to just be able to celebrate a goal without worrying it’ll be ruled out
010
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 16/02/2026
Worse - because refs have come to rely on VAR. The cynic in me says they were deliberately bad to prove we need VAR. I’d still bin it - refs would improve without it - and it doesn’t provide enough benefit to outweigh the negatives

Konate man of the match by a mile - been brilliant since coming back from compassionate leave #lfc

John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 11/02/2026
So Curtis has definitely joined the not being picked list. We won’t be able to field 11 players if he carries on falling out with them 🤣 #lfc

John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 08/02/2026
And also no fans

John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 26/01/2026
Was also played In empty stadiums which made it a bit of a freak season

John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 24/01/2026
Creating chances - really ? Apart from Burnley we’ve hardly created anything - and are so open at the back. Even Barnsley carved us open
010
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 24/01/2026
Me too
010
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 24/01/2026
It wasn’t bad luck. We look really badly coached - create nothing and incredibly open at the back
020
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 24/01/2026
Why is Virg always 2 yards deeper than the other defenders - been doing it all season
000
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
Barnsley ?

John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 18/01/2026
Nicol is definitely a click bait pundit
100
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 18/01/2026
Nicol should understand - he played with Ronnie Whelan for ages - and he was similarly under appreciated
100
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 18/01/2026
Yeah - reads the game really well and always makes himself available for a pass
100
John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 18/01/2026
If you don’t see what Curtis brings to the side then you don’t understand football

John Peacock @johnpeac.bsky.social · 04/01/2026
I’ll be happy with top 4 now - but I’m not ok with what I’ve seen over the last few months tactically. Unless there’s a massive improvement - not sure I’d be happy starting next season with Slot in charge
