  1. Dan Bardell was on a Norwich podcast when they hired Dean Smith and Rashica came up in conversation. Dan said that someone he trusts from the club told him Rashica was actually travelled to Birmingham and was at BMH working on finalizing his deal that summer, but for some reason the plug was pulled and he ended up at Norwich the next year.
  2. Great goal! Good cross from Young and fantastic header from King Carlos...
  3. Gerrard will be gone by Christmas at this rate... We really need to get the next manager appointment right or we'll be in a relegation battle after January.
  4. McGinn is the only one trying to make something happen this half.
  5. We only know how to counter attack... No idea how to build up an attack ourselves when we have the ball in possession without space and time. Teams are figuring this out and are happy to sit back, let us lose the ball with a poor pass/touch, then and rip us to shreds on the counter.
  6. Bailey does brilliantly to create that chance for Watkins just for him to lose it with his world class touch and football awareness... Watkins is just Gabby with work ethic...
  7. Close one from Coutinho there... Was almost a brilliant effort.
  8. I can see it now... "Shite on la Citee! Shite on la citee, ce soir!"
  9. No, you're right... That was a beautiful goal and one for the history books. Our grandkids will hear about the time Leon Bailey scuffed a shot which bounced into the corner of the net. He clearly meant to hit it that way... Genius...
  10. Wouldn't matter with these tactics.... Our CBs play long balls into the channels and our fullbacks play 1-2s with Coutinho until we lose possession.
  11. We're getting ripped to shreds on the counter... Shambolic defending all around.
  12. McGinn is a legend... He's one of my favorite all time Villans and is right up there with Mellberg, Laursen, & Milner for me. The disrespect he's gotten over the past year has been embarrassing by many on here. Statistically, he was our best player by a longshot... He's integral to our playstyle, especially with Kamara taking over the defensive duties and giving him license to roam forward next season.
  13. The issue we're running into is that nobody can pay standard Premier League wages outside of the Premier League except for the top top rich clubs (Bayern, PSG, Barca/Madrid/Athletico, & maybe a few Italian clubs). Players that aren't good enough for us won't have clubs lining up to pay them the same/more than we are plus pay us a fee on top of it. Unless we're bargain bin shopping on signings, the only clubs who will actually allow us to turn a profit on our players are the ones with more money than we do, and we're down to a dozen clubs in the world who fall into this category. Players also know the power they have too, where they are more than happy to be a bit part player and run down their contracts, picking up more money than they would anywhere else in the process. Ask yourself if you'd do your current job for x4-x5 the salary you'd get somewhere else, or would leave for significantly less money, just because you're bored. You'd be crazy to assume things are different for footballers.
  14. Bailey looking dangerous... Space opening up on the counter now that we've stopped dwelling on the ball.
  15. Watkins... Makes the wrong decision, yet again... At least we're looking a bit more lively now.
  16. Maybe that's his game plan for next season? Make 5 changes at half time and hope for the best?
  17. You're having a laugh if you think this is the case... Buendia has consistently been our best performer for the past 7 months and can't get into the starting 11 to save his life. No, Gerrard will put out the same team against Bournemouth and we'll lose that 1-0.
  18. This is why it's so frustrating... You can see after a preseason, Man United look like they're transformed into an organized and dangerous side with no new signings in this 11 they put out... We still look as lost and disjointed as we have been during the 2nd half of last season, even after two Champions League quality additions to the 1st team. Pathetic.
  19. I said Gerrard will be out by Christmas last weekend... Might be out by October by this point... Pathetic all around. Not counting all the big money signings, he hasn't improved us a bit from Smith.
  20. Good thing we bought a Champions League quality DM... You'd never notice it, though.
  21. Glad to see others are waking up to the fact that Gerrard is clueless... Sick of feeling like I'm a raving lunatic in every match thread.
  22. I've been asking that question for 10 months now... Still haven't figured it out.
