  1. To be fair konsa pulling the guy back to was pathetic and unnecessary. The guy was in the touch line with cash getting back around. Just let him go and defend the next phase
  2. Work rate disappeared second half. You could see this coming from the first minute of the second half. Stopped rubbing no control or fight
  3. I agree when fully fit he has something that most teams don’t have and that’s the ability to drive us up field at pace and with purpose also he is very good at joining up with our counter attacks with his pace and power
  4. I’m sure I’m being thick here but excluding wages etc when it comes to transfer costs am I right in thinking hypothetically and simplistically if we sold £30 million worth of players we would have £120 million to play with based on 4 year contracts excluding and money still owed on a player that leaves ?
  5. Amrabat on loan at Man Utd I’m throwing in there. If we had signed him I would have been massively underwhelmed and disappointed. Seems to be the central midfield version of Anthony (I know he is left back today ) likes to showboat take lots of time and try Hollywood passes but actually provides no quality at all
  6. I always thought he looked busy at Brighton but not an outstanding footballer. Certainly not worth the money or probably even half the money Chelsea paid for him and I could see him struggling to get in the team next season. Bassouma who ciacado replaced is in my opinion a much better footballer
  7. He was stretching his thigh first half so wasn’t surprised he didn’t come out for 2nd half but it didn’t seem to much to worry about
  8. Just out of curiosity are we looking at contract talks with him? I guess we would wait to the end of the season and see where we are with Europe but it must be on the cards
  9. I agree taking that job is similar to taking the PSG job. Do a couple of years with no real chance to build something and I expect they would see him as 3rd 4th 5th choice probably behind the likes of some like poch however what I think the gerrard to Emery move has showed me is that with the growing headache for most clubs these days of FFP having an elite manager who can make players better rather than a Jose who has to buy a team of the best players is Worth their weight in gold. More valuable than almost any player.
  10. Not sure how selling both Ramsey and luis would not have to much of a detrimental effect on the team given they are both key first team players. If we have no head room with FFP (which I doubt) then why would we sell players that we know work in the way we want to play for what most likely would be lesser players therefore taking us backwards. Seems like wanting to sell players just for the sake of wanting to sign players. If it’s not broke don’t fix it
  11. To be fair it could cost both us and Liverpool given spurs got a win against Liverpool due to a Liverpool goal being given offside due to VAR being pathetic. If we miss out on top 4 by a point or Liverpool miss out on the title by a point then it’s made a huge difference and that’s without the slightly subjective but fairly clear to most errors
  12. I remember ridgewell and baker too. It’s like pau and konsa when fit are playing a different game
  13. Just watched the highlights and I’m not on the conspiracy theory bandwagon but ffs putting the offside lines against Bailey who wasn’t involved rather than Moreno is almost as bad as ruling out Liverpool’s goal vs spurs and as for that Penalty on Watkins that shouldn’t need VAR to give the pen because it’s clear and obvious but for VAR to then not overturn it, Jesus Christ that’s mad.
  14. Quote from Emery said “he is going to be out for the rest of the season maybe more or less in September or October he is coming back “ if we had him back by October that would a result for sure
  15. I think we should look to loan someone to cover bouba otherwise we spend a big % of our budget to cover someone for less than a year. Or ideally Tim comes in and performs well enough
  16. I thought for the most part he was excellent yesterday picking the ball up and turning in dangerous areas and driving. Yes end product was not great but that will come but first time all season he looked like Ramsey of last year. Power and forward drive and we are going to need that for the run in. It’s mad that he has hardly played this season, even more annoying that he got injured playing for England
  17. It’s 6 points realistically as we have about 20 goals better on GD but still without bouba it’s a big ask given as we saw yesterday Utd are a god awful team but reputation alone will see them win more games than they should. Can’t see anyone other than them catching us unless we hardly pick up a point
  18. I agree time to throw him in now. I have seen some of our youngsters come on and think nope nothing there but with this guy I see him and I think he has that something that could make him a top player. It’s not the way I would like to see him come in but that’s the cards we have been dealt
  19. This is getting ridiculous now have any other teams had three season destroying and career ruining (in the sense that no player returns better from an acl) in one season to key players. I knew the league was corrupt but I didn’t realise that the premier league gods were so keen to keep the premier league top 4 a closer shop. But hey nobody has suffered as much as spurs from injuries
  20. Annoying how shit Utd are and yet we should have scored 5 or 6 but lacked the composure and they we get done by the worst set piece defending you will see and then another piece of awful defending from a basic cross. Really poor and annoyingly at 1-1 I txt my son and said 2-1 Utd rashford 96th minute and I got that wrong too. Unfortunately like those games when we bottles going top this looks like the game that starts normal service for the sky teams getting champions league. Feels this league is corrupt but hey that’s probably just my sour grapes. However I am Adamant this Utd side are shit but I expected them to win lots of games 2-1 1-0 where they are shit just because that’s how the premier league works
  21. Frustration I would say. It’s very clear we are so much weaker with these two at centre back with our 3 best central defenders injured. Weirdly the media don’t mention out injuries at all do they given that out back 4 has arguably 3 starters missing. Spurs have one centre back injured and another suspended due to his own idiocy and they choose to play 2 full backs at centre half and sky don’t stop taking about how unlucky they are
  22. May as well tossed the fa cup off in the first game if that’s the effort we wanted to put in
  23. Given how good our home record has been our passive performances since Sheffield Utd at home are becoming concerning. Energy is none existent. I am not fussed about this game as such but I could see this happen against them in the league too and this is a shit Chelsea team that got battered by wolves at home 4 days ago. Also Carlos and Lenglet are woeful
  24. He is very poor to be fair, offers not one positive attribute
