  1. Work ethic of Snodgrass but without the quality. I always like to give players time to settle. I just don't see any glimpses of quality.
  2. Watched the game. Rewatched highlights. Jack was our best attacking player by miles!!!! Every decent attack was going through him. I think he is trying too hard atm but doesn't help when he had a decent enough game and everyone's calling for him to be dropped! I would start Kodija or Davies. That would help him.
  3. I get that John is box to box but half the time he is further forward than Jack. As other posters have mentioned would like him slightly deeper and jack ahead.
  4. All I can see here is a player getting his pass off, then gets clattered. The ref should be playing advantage, especially knowing VAR will rule out a goal if a foul is commited
  5. He is so so good at moving the ball away from players. Would love him to try and ride more hacks like Messi does. That's usually where the team are exposed and have lots of space to get into. (Which is exactly what he did for the goal). That's when he is the 60m player. I would just like him in that position more often, which is tough when we're defending more often. Unfortunately I still think he was drifting too deep to retrieve the ball. That's what DL n McGinn should be doing.
  6. The thing that pisses me off the most is the FA will just ignore it and there will be no consequences. We were poor and Palace should of won but at the end of the day we scored just as many goals as them. We should of gone away with a point and palace should be 2 points lower!
  7. Jack was better in the POF than Mount. Mount has upped a gear since, I hope this motivates Jack. Instead of passing he needs to use his laces.
  8. He has the potential to be an extremely good player. He just needs to believe in himself more. He isn't the same style of play as jack and Jota. He needs to keep playing his game which should be very direct. He hasn't set the PL on fire yet, but he got dropped for the Everton game, comes on as a sub and secures the 3 points with a goal. That's the attitude you want from a player. I love him. Too early to judge yet but I think he is a better player with better potential than Trez.
  9. The best bit is, this team isn't even 'settled' yet. We're only going to get better!!! We could have been on 5/7 points. In Dean we trust.
  10. Gary Neville's favourite away ground. 2-0 Wesley, McGinn. Jack assisting both
  11. All this talking of playing RB's at RW and Grealish at LW, I thought I clicked on a thread from last year when Bruce was in charge. Talk about shoe horning.
  12. Adapting quicker than I thought he would. Still needs to work on his strength.
  13. I hate to say it but we're quite away behind Wolves.
  14. Jesus the negativity in this thread , chill out boys Were some fans expecting 6 points already? Two games into the season. This was never going to be easy, we're still finding our feet. Thought we deserved something from the game. Just wasn't going to be our day but plenty of really good football though. We were the better team for 78 minutes. Gifted them a penalty in 42 seconds and a mistake from Luis (who I thought was brilliant btw) got ANOTHER lucky deflection off Mings to hit the post and go in. Elmo did okay, Taylor defensively was very good, still offers zero in attack. Would like to see Targett start our next game. Trez looks bright, needs to work on his strength but he'll adapt. Wesley is getting better, glimpses of talent there. We're unlucky to be 2 games in with 0 points. It'll come.
  15. In the Spurs game when we broke on the counter after the corner, where Trez had his chance. He was dribbling and he was never getting caught. Really improved on his speed. He used to be a fantastic dribbler, but now he is much more a completed rounded footballer now.
  16. No allowed to go for a meal with team mates without being criticized for having a drink which was probably water maybe even a Coke zero Athletes/players I know are told their not even allowed sex 48 hours prior a match. They definitely won't be having anything alcoholic. They are allowed to have a social meal though jeez.
  17. Nah if Trez runs away and Winks follows, Jack is 1 on 1. If Trez runs away and winks closes jack, any pass given Trez can run into it. The run Trez makes creates no space.
  18. I think it's too soon for Douglas and Marvelous to start against Spurs. The team that started on Saturday will be the team to start against Spurs
  19. I'd take a draw. Will be interesting to see how we compare to a title contender.
  20. This is the best preseason I've ever seen from us. Every year we've looked unfit, lethargic and no plan on how to play. We've used excuses like, it's only a preseason game, theyre week ahead of us in preseason that's why they're fitter etc etc. This preseason, we look fitter than ever before, we look sharperer than ever before! Considering we've had to buy a whole new team, they all seem to know the plan of how were going to play. It's beautiful. Dean Smith, you are going to make a name for yourself this year!
  21. Are we going to be the smallest team in the Prem? Our midfield is definitely on the small side
  22. Really struggling to see if he'll make it in the PL. We definitely need another winger
