  1. Useless Benteke. Had no clue where his man was. He's taken the piss out of Benteke all game
  2. At least Grealish is trying. Maybe too hard but he's having a go. Zog is pure trash
  3. Zog is a waste of space. Did you see him throw a hissy fit because he misplaced a pass to Jack? Get him off now. Okore has looked clueless so far. Very poor. We need more urgency. Arsenal have been first to the ball every time and are closing down very quickly. They want it more. Need a very different second half.
  4. In your match day squad you should have a minimum of 7 homegrown players, and at least 2 academy players.
  5. I reckon Bournemouth might be interested if Andi is on the market. Premier League experience, still relatively young, wouldn't command a massive wage. Maybe even a loan with view to buy or something.
  6. Probably taking a fair wage for the club tbh. Think he's just happy to play at this stage in his career.
  7. Remember Jordan Bowery? For every Delph there is 5 of him.
  8. Well, the choice is between Baker and Okore right? So the question is, do we play a player who might potentially get injured or a player who definitely is injured? I think that's a fairly easy question to answer. Plus you have to admire Baker's attitude. He always is willing to risk injury to make the tackle or stop. We need that type of mentality in a cup final. Ah yes.. the willingness to make the stop.. Like Vidic.
  9. Surprised QPR have the wage room considering their relegation and current high earners. Thought they would have to sell first before buying.
  10. £30m and Sterling if Liverpool want him.
  11. He's the manager. With Randy Lerner in charge. He can pretty much do what he wants.
  12. I just sold Tekkers to Dortmund on FM for £32.5m as he wanted to move and had a minimum release clause following the new contract I got him to sign at the start of the game. Prophet.
  13. Vlaar and Senderos for the final. Finish the season as we started, solid at the back with the Mitchell Brothers evolving into a brick wall.
  14. Goal of the season and can't get in the team..
  15. Brilliant comparison, and I'm happy to see us playing in this way. The question is, will we still be playing the majority of our games with this blueprint next season? And which players would you see as replaceable? As a side note, my favourite player from that AC Milan team.... Martin Laursen Cheers skarroki, agreed on Martin Laursen, what a hero, nearly shed a tear when I saw his retirement press conference! It's hard to say whether we'll keep this system next season, however at this level opposition teams tend to do their homework and come up with a plan to nullify a team's tactics: http://performance.fourfourtwo.com/tactics/defending-against-a-4-3-2-1 (video) I'll never forget that 2nd season under MON, when the 4-4-2 was flying, we were banging in the goals and all was good, and then the 2 years that followed as teams sat back and didn't let us hit on the break. We had to grind out results again and again...it was tough. From what I read on Spurs forums, over the course of last season the same 'figuring out process' happened with Sherwood's team. Goals and good results to start with before the big teams worked them out and started to hammer them (ominously Arsenal did it twice) I hope I'm wrong, but my prediction is that the 4-3-2-1 will lose it's surprise value and we'll revert to a more traditional system...I think that the players are spot on though, right through the team, I don't even think we need much transfer market action. I really believe on paper our first team should be 6th-8th (compare it to MON's XI from his last season) Look at the second half against West Ham. They changed their play style and got back into the game and we struggled to knock the ball about as we did in the 1st half. Only takes a few tactical tweaks to counter.
  16. Or is it "Mobile Giant 'Three' bids"
