Jürgen being a sensitive prick again. so happy we have a manager as classy as Unai.
-
We unfortunately didn't play them at the start of the season as they were getting used to the playing style. However you can say we got lucky to face a depleted Spurs and faced Everton before they found their form.
-
Loser mentality.
-
I think Bournemouth will be different to Forest, they like to attack and not sit back and absorb pressure. We need to respect them though, they could easily turn us over if we turn up half arsed and they have started to improve recently. Their defence has a few injuries and imo isn't the best but they can score goals even if the stats don't reflect that too well. While we don't want to concede early on yet again away, we shouldn't be conservative as the game goes on.

Too many lapses in concentration.
-
I think because Arsenal qualified top of the group or something like that.
-
Can we trade losing to Bournemouth to beating Arsenal, can't stand how arrogant their fans are these days.

I think so too. We might get battered 6-0 but it's important we trust the system and make subtle tweaks here and there.
-
It's doing brilliantly but I'm absolutely terrified of us trying it v Man City, with Doku and Haaland
-
we were linked to this lad when he was in the second division. He had an injury but now promoted and started brightly in La Liga. Wonder if we are still keeping tabs on him.

Too right, Unai has such tactical flexibility in comparison and isn't stuck into this is how we play every week outside a few core principles. Brighton game was a perfect example of that.
-
They can hardly talk when they have Romero chopping players every week. Or Udogie, or the countless challenges in the Chelsea game. Play the intensity they do there will be strong challenges, but don't give it if you can't take it.
-
Also it's bloody great to have a centre back scoring goals again. Ming's for his size had always not been anywhere near the threat he should be and Konsa gets chances but he's a bit 50p at times. Hopefully he keeps it up, a centre back getting 4-5 a season generally means a fair amount of extra points.
-
He's not magically going to get that yard of pace he needs to be Kyle Walker etc. We play a system where he can be vulnerable and exposed but we play him for various other reasons which he's extremely good at. We have to balance that as otherwise he'd be playing at Man City.
-
Every time I don't give him man of the match as it's kind of expected he does this well. Kind of feel guilty but what an absolute world class keeper we have.
-
He knew he **** up with the tackle and kind of lost his head, every time the Spurs fan bood him he couldn't handle it.
-
Gamed the change
-
Given he had a yellow he was brilliant. Dominated the second half at times
-
Find it bizarre how Palace persisted with Hodgson this season. He's done well but surely this season was an ideal time to experiment again. They have so much talent but just seem to be that boring midtable side that are just existing. They've done so well to hold onto Eze and Olise but they'd be so much better with a more progressive manager. I guess they are just scared of handing out big contracts to a De Boer/Vieira again.
-
Gravenberch looks an excellent player, absolutes glided past Rodri at one point.
-
Sarr didn't train for Spurs and is a big doubt, no fresh injury concerns for them otherwise.
-
So McGinn is fit, Emi is in pain coming back from Argentina but should be fine. Bailey and Zaniolo are doubts and trained alone but he's more positive than negative on them. Bertie is injured as per usual.
-
Comparing Wrexham with Salford is laughable. Two completely different clubs, history, fanbase. It's be like comparing us to Bournemouth when we eventually outspent our way out the Championship.

Premier League shareholders meeting 2023/11/21
VillaAlex replied to ender4's topic in Other Football
Wolves bending over backwards was probably part of the deal that got them 50m for Neves with I think was a year left on his contract when he was being touted for half of that originally. -
Care to share the visibility of the contract you seemingly have?
