Problem with that, same as City, is that they hoard young talent on the cheap then sell them on years later for 3-5 times what they paid for, stat padding their budgets so they can bankroll shit like 100m quid for Grealish without shifting any of their relevant first teamers to balance it out. It's all a bit FM isn't it?

Refs must've been shown a picture of Khashoggi before this one...
-
I'm no fan of this appointment, not one bit, but it seems he understands he'll have to prove his worth to be the gaffer at Plop one day, so he'll be busting his ass off to succeed here IMO because he doesn't want to end up like Lampard and not fit for the role if/when the chance arrives. That can only mean good things for us; he can't get poached by Plop if he's not worth poaching.

This is genuinely upsetting. WHY THE **** WONT YOU CHANGE THIS **** BULLSHIT DEAN THIS IS ON YOU FOR WAITING TIL HALFTIME TO MAKE A CHANGE YOU SPINELESS clearing in the woods ...sorry, I had to get that off my chest.
-
In possession and all 3 CBs are standing around, completely static. That's just appalling.
-
This is some proper Lambert stuff right here. No cohesion, just prayers for individual brilliance
-
Jesus **** christ, we might have 2 players sent off today at this rate
-
I said it a few game threads ago, that other than the few moments that Bailey has been fit and bossing the pitch, we look every bit as bad as we always have without Jack. Again, is this his ceiling tactically?
-
Alright Dean, we're down now, any pragmatic reasoning to the 5-3-2 went out the window. Make changes now, please. Please.
-
Christ Buendia that was the first touch of a sex offender...
-
Wow it's almost like all of us knew this would be how the game would transpire the second the first XIs were announced. If only Dean could figure it out...
-
Deary me, if I load up that lineup page later and there's three CBs in the starting 11 again...
-
I think it's safe to say that we won't be relegated, and I think Smith has done enough to see the season out. But if we're closer to the relegation spots than Europe by the time the run in starts, we need to think about different options going forward. Mid table might be Smiths ceiling unfortunately.
-
Reminds me a bit of Liverpool in the early part of the last decade. Too big to fail, as they say.
-
I was slinging shit the game thread, but honestly speaking... for losing 1-2 at Spurs to be possibly our worst result (obviously Watford is top) so far says a lot about where we've come. One bad day at the office doesn't change that.
-
I admit it's a bit cherry-picked, just think it highlights that this 3-5-2 is still pretty turgid going forward and the only time that hasn't looked the case in the last month is A. when Bailey was having a riot, and B. against Chelsea in the LC, when we played a 4-3-3 anyways. I love we're capable of playing like this in games like last weekend where the low block is key (and we have the resolute defending for it), but this isn't one of those games IMO.
-
if you forget Bailey's 21 minutes of brilliance, Archer's LC goal is the only open play goal we've scored since the int'l break.
-
The 5-3-2 served its purpose and grinded some good results, but we have way too much talent to keep playing this, especially with teams our level coming up. Hause off, Buendia on IMO
-
5-3-2 still lacking a bit in creative guile, but it's controlling the game as usual and it'll turn the crowd on Nuno in a hurry.
-
Seeing the way the media as a whole is shitting on Villa for beating ManUre with the same kind of shithousery and gamesmanship they've been praised for so often in the past and which was such an integral part of the Fergie era, is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Suck it, Sky.
-
They were always gonna find something to flag for a pen but unfortunately that one is all too easy to call due to the subjective nature of the ruke
-
It's a shame we had to come up on a fixture like this so early, as this and the FA Cup are such good stages for guys like Archer, Chuk, Bidace, as well as a chance for guys like Buendia and Traore to regain/maintain form. And it's a testament to their class that we were toe to toe down to the wire in the backyard of the defending European champs.

Not gonna pretend I didn't steal this for a second, but... Can anyone say Ingzaghi?
-
I hope this sends a message to Smith that 3 at the back can if you give the wide players license to stay forward, which means you can easily fit Bailey and Buendia in those roles. Ings is undroppable. He provides so much creativity from that up top role.
-
The system isn't a complete failure, we seem to have control of the flow of the game. The problem is relying on Targett and Cash as our only outlets of wide attacking play completely neuters us going forward. They aren't wing backs
