  1. Goa difference back in play. Very poor from Liverpool not good
  2. If this Liverpool turn up at Villa Park we might concede a few. Hard to predict goal difference with Spurs playing Burnley and Sheffield United. Spurs have a Burnley who have something to play for though next weekend. Let's hope Liverpool keep this at least s 4-0
  3. We need Liverpool to produce the goods. We're still in driving seat for 4th
  4. Makes Thurs a difficult selection decision. Do we throw in towel for ECL and save the team for Monday?
  5. It's both. We fall over the line or we don't. Need Spurs to not find any form
  6. We're literally done for the season. It's down to Liverpool and City to save us.
  7. Would break me forever if we threw this season away at the death. Need a Liverpool performance later today
  8. I'm abroad so can't see the game. 1 shot and no possession looks bad though. Are we playing as bad as stats saying?
  9. Could be key losing Emi for two games like this. I'd take a draw if we can get one. Olsen is so so so so bad it's right to be in fear seeing his name on the starting lineup.
  10. The only thing Pau has in common with Mings is the preferred foot and they are defenders. Mings is a superb defender, physical and fast. Pau is a superb deep play maker and is excellent at slow build up from the back and calm control. Pau Mings Konsa Frimpong this is the type of dream back 4
  11. He will play plenty as the central CB of back three. So Pau or Hermoso playing LB with Mings and Konsa. Then an attacking RB. Think of how we play with Konsa at RB this season. Next season we can do that but switch sides depending on what tactical flexibility Emery wants
  12. Pau will play LB some games. Hermoso can play LCB or Central. We can play 3 CBs and an attacking FB
  13. We've been after him for some time. I'd been saying a LCB ball progression player for the left side of the back three is key as once Lenglet is gone we've nobody in squad who can do it to a high level like Pau. Plus Hermoso brings lots of European Experience and is a La Liga winner.
  14. He is best suited to a more attacking 6/8 role and needs a player like Kamara beside him to be more of a 6. Tielemans seemed to be doing the 6 role well in recent games and I think he's best suited to starting there with Luiz when he comes back.
  15. This is why the rules make it better for you to turn over your squad more regularly by selling and buying players. This is what City do well on top of all their other advantages. Chelsea do this very well too. So expect to see more from us in this type of activity. Especially as Jacks 100m is rolling off next season. That big income chunk has fuelled a lot of our ability to spend. We need to keep some net profit in the player transfer accounts. It's critical. Hence I see Tim Iroegbunam and KKH being sold this summer more likely. Maybe Sinisalo too. With buy backs
  16. The reason we have asked for the limit to be increased for end of next season is Jacks 100m rolls off our PSR calculations and we have more room to manoeuvre and other clubs would too like Everton, Forest, Chelsea, United and newly promoted clubs. In relation to this seasons PSR there is no way the club has budgeted for us to get 4th and make semi finals of ECL. So our over performance this season has yielded £15m+ I'm sure. I've said it multiple times from the calculations we will be ok for PSR this season with boosted revenue and costs of firing Gerrard and team and paying release to hire Emery are off. Plus our sales of players
  17. This years accounts will show profit of £18m on player trading so this is included with other income in PSR calculation and squad cost rule for UEFA (which takes player transfer average over pervious 3 years into account). We resign Archer this summer for 14m on a 4 year deal with a £2m salary. So our annual cost is £5.5m per year 14 / 4 = 3.5m + 2m So if we sold him for 14m we'd have zero profit or loss from his transfer. If we sold him for 10m + 4m add ons we'd book a 4m loss and if / when add ons are triggered they are income in the particular season they were triggered. Obviously if we sell a player we don't pay them salary nor can they play for us. I would assume the club are open to selling him or loaning him with an obligation to buy or a buy option. Sheffield United might be open to Loaning him next season knowing how well he performs in Championship and agree to a buy option if they are promoted.
  18. Was a good article in Athletic about finances if the new format. Seems to benefit big leagues and big clubs more. So they expect the base amount for English club to be around £50m in added income. We then have increased sponsorship payments and bonuses to pay players. If we can do well enough win a playoff and get to last 16 we would be into March playing CL We are so close we need to see it out tomorrow. Just get that win
  19. It's Emery married? But he's in love with someone else? Hmm
  20. I think Luiz with Tielemans as the central two with Tielemans playing the deeper role allowing Luiz to be more attacking that will work best.
  21. He'd be best signing an extension here and going out on Loan again. Then coming back to be No2 understudy to Martinez Or we do a sale with buyback if that works for us
  22. It has to be and the clubs priority.
  23. 100%, we were looking vulnerable with only Kamara for the role
  24. I don't know how the rankings work fully, or if us making a final or winning it matters much to our seeding for next year. However, the new format you play 2 teams from each Pot so it really doesn't matter for us what Pot we are in, just teams who will draw us
