  1. As far as im concered its a different type of project than billionaires pumping money in its a bit more nuanced than that. They have already upset none league fans and i know a notts country fan who hates them as its their best season in decades. Its the way theyre doing things thats more palitable than just a Chelsea/City/Newcastle, but every success brings detractors.
  2. Couldn’t give a shit it Southgate picks him or not.
  3. I take joy out of the game…without that what’s the point. A player has just scored in 5 league games on the bounce for the first time in my lifetime and you’re worried about balance. Jesus Christ do me a favour.
  4. I was shocked it wasn’t over turned, my biggest bug bare in football is “touching” the ball is winning it.
  5. Imagine being the type of fan who mentions a couple of bad touches after he scored 5 on the bounce.
  6. Absoluly this, you can criticise his form but fans were just saying he's shit though without any nuance to realse the major problem with the team was lack of opertunities the team created. Tthe fact that not many strikers are prolific these days. Time and time again i had to repeat that we wont get better for less than £60 million.
  7. Currently hitting his xg for the season (just about) with 7 in 7.75xg. It shows what actually managing him and bringing his confidence out can do. The fact creating enough chances can do because he had 1 in about an ex if 3 under Gerrards 11 games.
  8. Ings, chances always seem to dry up when he started. Its the Buendia effect, against tired players. Ings none penalty xg is very similar to Ollies too. Ings at 0.39 to Ollies at 0.4.
  9. i dont think it was a Gerrard bounce but a Beale bounce.
  10. Cheated on his country Cheated on his Bird Cheated on his club Nuff said
  11. Yeah stems from the Bielsa years. He made them put run and run and run annd not only that had an plan. Unfortunately that won’t last much longer. They need to tighten up their awful defence or they might drop. Which is a shame because they’re a team with character.
  12. They’ve been spanked many times by top 6 teams in the last couple of years. They work hard yeah but they lack ability everywhere on the pitch.
  13. Because Jack dived against his boyhood club when it was game over. I like the pantomime. Made the game more interesting.
  14. I would say Yorke was played out wide a lot in a 4-4-2 in his first 4/5 years. Not really a fair comparison.
  15. We have to essentilly learn that if He's targeted like that, it frees up space somewhere else to exploit. Practise and coaching will fix this.
  16. The only game where I can honestly say he should have scored under Gerrard was Leeds away. That was almost half his xg under Gerrard this season. He’s been living on scraps. 4 in the 10 since is fine imo.
  17. Ollie had to play Gerrard ball for half the season. No striker would have a high xg playing that shit.
  18. Oaks

    Tyrone Mings

    I think ultimately Mings will be upgraded. With Carlos coming back soon let’s see how he settles with Mings, then the year after should be replaced. I just think CB might be down the list of Striker, Winger and midfielder. I want genuine quality there first. If we can add a CB in the summer too then great.
  19. Until Emery came in we were one of the worst creative teams in the premier league. Ollie had 2 goals from an xg of 3.5 under Gerrard underperforming yes but not Jesus levels of underperforming(we would all take him right). Since then he has 3 from 4 xg and 6 goal contributions in 7 games under Emery. I think we should all forget what happened under Gerrard everyone was shit.
  20. He was too high, jogged back and no warning for Mings.
  21. Ihranacho has 6 goals in the last 18 months ffs
  22. I thought he was really good in the final third yesterday, but you cant excuse the defending on 2 of the goals. I can excuse mistakes to a certain point, but i think his mistakes was lack of desire and the reason he was dragged off imo.
