  1. I think we’re blessed by the fact he has experience with psg and arsenal, the hierarchy at Bayern for example will be miles apart from what he’s been allowed to do here.
  2. Just swing a cross in. Majority of the first half was him doing nothing on the ball outside their box
  3. Bit mental seeing the narrative that Ollie blew his chance because Toney scored a pen, think he touched the ball twice in the second half.
  4. Top comment. I’d been doing this for the majority of the season and it’s exhausting, checking other teams fixtures etc. I think it’s because this is an unfamiliar position for us, you don’t want to lose it. It’s very easy to forget how we’ve got here and stop enjoying the process. Heard a comment on a pod last night along the lines of if you’d have told me in October 2022 we’d be beating Ajax 4-0 at home next season I wouldn’t have believed you. Let’s enjoy the next few months
  5. Even when mcginn comes back I’d like to see us continue with this
  6. He hasn’t had much chance to be ready though, hasn’t played regular football since last season. And dropped into a European fixture Ajax away for his first start under Emery. I thought he was understandably nervous, and probably stopped the flow of our play at times not offering up for the ball but it was a massive occasion
  7. 89% of our revenue covering the wage bill, it’s hard to crack the top 6 without top 6 revenue.
  8. Thought him and Pau worked well together yesterday, his lack of right foot is a bit nervy though.
  9. Beat Luton next weekend and United have city, potentially 11 points clear of them
  10. Martinez Cash Lenglet Torres Digne Tielemans Luiz Mcginn Bailey Watkins Ramsey
  11. This is what I want to see, think we’re so much better in attack when we’ve got width and Moreno alone doesn’t provide enough down the left. Things have been stale for a while and the next three could be an opportunity to try something else.
  12. We’re better in attack with JJ on the left, and Saturday was the best he’s played since he’s come back. Had no pre season and was injured again, he’ll be starting
  13. Pau doesn't have the mobility for defensive midfield
  14. If not now when though, probably could have been sent on loan somewhere. 20 now with championship loan experience, I’d let him play the next few games
  15. No luck whatsoever, I wonder is it the same leg again? I’d like to see Tim in there from now on.
  16. Surely that’s out of unais control? Medical staff?
  17. We struggle to score against teams who park the bus, lately we struggle to defend against counter attacking teams.
  18. Look at the lack of spending in January across every league. We didn’t have the spending room to sign players to come in and improve the 11. And no one’s giving loan moves to players good enough to play for us either.
  19. The whole set up was a mess last night. Kamara and cash the obvious two. And to make things even more confusing at times kamara is making runs into the box looking to score, is he being told to get forward like that? Took me about ten minutes to work out where bailey was playing, was central at one point then out wide, but when he gets the ball out wide he’s so deep all he can do with it is dribble backwards and pass it back to the defence. Tielemans was like a supporting striker then playing central to cover kamara when he was at right back, tielemans doesn’t have the legs for that. And that also doesn’t make sense when we’re trying to play it through teams because it leaves us with two central midfielders and Ollie up top alone. Cash may as well not be on the pitch he’s either glued to kamara or stopping any momentum down the right. Moreno sits out wide half the game but receives the ball on the half way line mostly, with no support ahead of him, he’s dangerous attacking the box but he’s not dangerous 45 yards out with two Chelsea players ahead of him. Every game since Everton apart from Sheffield ollies been contesting long balls, that’s surely evidence that the midfield is either short of numbers or being tactically nullified. From the first 5 minutes last night we resorted back to it, giving Chelsea the ball. And the worrying thing similar to Newcastle is in the space of ten seconds we go from controlling the ball at the back to being dangerously countered.
  20. I think a big part of the problem is he’s running a whole left side by himself at times, he’s getting the ball just inside opponents half’s with nothing in front of him. Last season it was more attacking their box
  21. I think it’s deeper than that we’ve been watching teams do the same thing to us for too many games now. Personally I’d love to see us go 433
  22. Which of them would have made it 4-0. We’ve an XG of 0.89 and only three shots on target
  23. Tonight’s something I’ve not seen from him with us before, not making subs until the 70th minute there, not even attempting to tweak the tactics. It’s stubborn nothing else
