Not picking on Dakota in the slightest here, just an example of many comments like this in mid-March. Funny to see what can change in less than a month in football Can’t wait to see what this lad does with another six months of Unai’s coaching.

I’m sure it’ll change hands a couple more times but let’s remember when it does that we can turn it around again!
-
Sign the deal, get him in. Buendia and Ramsey back in the squad and then that midfield is fine for the CL
-
That’s 5th locked in. 6-7 more points for 4th I think, Spurs won’t get more than 3 wins from 6.

I don’t totally disagree but I think he would be way better at Arsenal today than last time out, and also think it’s generally overlooked that he’s PSG’s most successful ever manager. But yes I think he’s more suited to the ‘challenger’ bracket.

Sorry is this about MANCHESTER United?!

People are ignoring this too much when comparing our seasons. 100%. We’d have been miles ahead with no Europe. But, we want Europe! So it’s just life…

Don’t disagree with your wider point on sales sometimes being fine but I do question this… Spurs finished below us last season and are head-to-head with us this season - they’ve finished outside the top four in 3 of the last 5 seasons. Despite us coming from the Championship at a time they were already a CL team, and all the advantages they have with stadium etc, we are now basically in the same bracket of teams around the top four, not as good as the title chasers, hoping to make it into the CL and a few dodgy results away from slipping down the table. I’m not sure that can be called pushing on from their perspective. Anyway - I think the big point from me, as others have said, is I think Watkins is worth more to us than he is to eg Arsenal, which makes it hard to see a deal getting done. But yes, if we sell him, it could lead to more good things - you only ever know in retrospect. Same as we are a better team now than when Grealish was playing for us, even though we lost our star/talisman/captain.

That would have been us a few years ago…!

100% for me - you just can’t argue with those numbers. It’s been a step up from him from what was already a high base.
-
I’m judging him on all the other good signs way before this game though. But go for it, double down! You won’t look sillier than those on here who said Grealish wouldn’t cut it in the PL

Disagree

Sandro Tonali

This is just a wild opinion to me. I get you might say “he’ll never be a top quality player” but as a striker of his type, to have scored a couple of goals in the league as a teenager/turning 20, knocked in a few screamers etc certainly suggests his career is going to be in the top flight. Personally I think he has it all in his locker and also see the issues he has to develop, but I am staggered at questioning the basic ability to compete and have a career at this level.

Can’t complain at being fourth - no games in hand nonsense - after 30 games. Now see it home!

Yep, era-defining hattrick incoming!
-
Haven’t beaten any team in the top 5…
-
I’d go Rebecca I think
-
To be fair he was brave and carried it forward into midfield well under Smith, especially during covid, then lost that for whatever reason. But agreed Emery has brought it back.
-
It’s weird isn’t it, that Ait-Nouri chance I just thought “yep standard Emi” but there was nothing standard about it at all
-
He’s a lovely lovely footballer. I’ve said it before but give him a few months with Emery working on the defensive side of his game and he’ll be phenomenal for us next season.
-
Drives me nuts that the reports are all like “Villa were lucky Martinez saved that, it could have been different if Wolves had scored…” - that’s why we signed a great goalkeeper. It’s as if Haaland scoring was met with “this would have been more in doubt if Haaland didn’t score lots of goals” - Emi saves those, it’s what he does.

Yeah worst I’ve seen him, but luckily we know that’s not normal!
-
Just saw his quotes that he rates Emery alongside Klopp and Guardiola as the best in the world and how much he’s improving his game. That’s a great statement from someone who hasn’t even been playing much.
