  1. Yep. That's the entire tactical plan. It's been the same every England match he's managed be it against San Marino or Brazil
  2. Straight from the Gerrard "moments of magic" playbook.
  3. Why wasn't their goal offside? The initial pass looked miles off....
  4. What's Southgate's record against the good teams in world football. Anyone with rudementry football knowledge managing the players England have should be able to beat the vast majority of teams in world football. It counts when you're up against the top 10 sides. I'm not sure we've beaten anybody of note with Southgate on charge. Edit.... Just found this... Southgate's record against sides currently ranked in FIFA's top 10 is as follows: 27 games, seven wins, nine draws, 11 losses equating to a win rate of just 26%.
  5. Watching those VAR videos back is astonishing. It's just so amateurish. These are examples of the var team working well apparently which the powers that be have deemed worthy of public release. There's little fixed process, the language used is not professional, the decision making process is utterly ad-hoc. It's just crazy that this is deemed acceptable in a billion pound industry where these decisions could cost clubs significant amounts of money.
  6. We're well known for piling multiple crosses into the "big man" aren't we..... If we're advocating a fundamental change in tactics to accommodate Duran we're entering Scot Hogan territory. Duran is raw, it's understandable, but he doesn't help himself. He sits on the shoulder of the farthest defender with his arm up hoping for the Hollywood pass. He's got to do more than that and contribute to the team generally. It's a minimum requirement for a top level side. He's got the physical attributes to be a monster. I just hope he's got enough sense to listen and learn from one of the best coaches in world football and put in the graft needed to improve.
  7. There's plenty of room on the current site if we want to redevelop. There's also room on the site of Aston hall if we need more. We don't need to move away from villa park. If we were to redevelop on the current site, where would we play our games in the interim?
  8. For balance, he also needlessly gave the ball away on a good few occasions which directly led to chances for West Ham. He'll have to do a job in the short term to cover injuries and suspensions but he's far from a regular prem central midfielder. He's too slow generally. Loses concentration too often and just doesn't seem to work hard enough.... but he'll do for the time being.
