  1. Can't blame him for the subs (sounds like all 3 were enforced) but do question his tactics especially with a 3-5-2. Think that we need to figure out our striking position and imo it should be Ings with Watkins probably on the bench
  2. Well even if they do come after Emi, they'd have to get rid of 2 of their 3 current first team GKs, which probably wouldn't be the most ideal considering the squad limits
  3. Very interesting article just put out by The Athletic & Gregg Evans(yes I know) about Lange. Some mentions of his time at Wolves and other tidbits. Johan Lange: the quiet man plotting Aston Villa's revolution – The Athletic Thought that this quote was very interesting, apparently a new data analyst/ recruitment person will be joining in the immediate future.
  4. Believe that Purslow actually has $$ invested in the Club (iirc about 10%) so wouldn't think he could leave without some sort of notice/sale
  5. according to the rumor mill, Shevchenko wants a UK coaching role... don't think Watford would go for him but I think he would be a good shout (based on his work with Ukraine)
  6. ironically enough it was this fixture last year at the end of May
  7. Yep. against the "top 4" teams the 3-5-2 can be valuable, but when we need to have that creative influence, we need more width and I don't know if having Watkins and Ings up top really helps with that
  8. meh. not going to get too disappointed about the result. I don't think we can play 3 at the back in games where we will have to break down the opposition (with Targett and Cash as wing backs)
  9. if they came up, it would be more interesting than the usual suspects (Bournemouth, WBA, Fulham, etc)
  10. (not posting for the article, just the tweet!)
  11. best of both worlds. United penalty bet comes thru and we still win
  12. why is a Brighton fan site making a Emi Martinez meme? do they know something we don't?
  13. Over here stateside we will have Robbie Earl and Andres Cantor on commentary this weekend...
  14. I bet 70ish league teams would happily switch places with them as perennial Championship winners and PL relegation candidates
  15. Even Lee Dixon and Arlo White on commentary mentioned how electric the atmosphere was after the first goal
  16. could clearly see him taking something during treatment after the first corner. I don't understand why we just didn't take him off after that. Not a fan of taking chances with concussions.. Assuming that Young or Nakamba will draw in next weekend because no way should/(will) he be available
  17. imo if he tries to hold up he ends up getting sent off for a "foul"
  18. don't think he was that standout -- but I'd like to see him off the line more (specifically for the Mings backpass error). if our situation comes to Martinez quarantining/not in the squad again I'd seriously consider giving Sinisalo some match experience if he's as highly rated by Cutler as reported
  19. our set pieces have looked quite good with MacPhee. On another day we score from one of the routines
  20. i'm considering trying to make it over for this game (if nothing drastically chances in the next month). don't think it will get moved as hasn't already but never know.
  21. The next edition of FM sort of announced.... Will also be on the Xbox Series X/S console & game pass as well as Steam and the usual other places Football Manager 2022 - Release Date - Nov 9th Will be interesting to see what the new features will be. I know they mentioned adding female players & leagues, but I'd think that would be a few years down the line in terms of finalizing a database.
  22. I was in my kindergarten class on the day. My mom rushed to pick me up early as we lived in the DC area and didn't know if we were going to have another attack after the Pentagon. I get to explain/teach the historical significance and impact this had on us since to my high school US history classes tomorrow. (all of whom were born several years after 9/11). Will be very somber. The videos I've picked out are pretty emotional as well
  23. all I'm asking for is a Ghazi stoppage time pen winner vs Manchester and the penalty machines
