  1. Agreed and it has had a good run, but contactless is the future
  2. It’s amazing. They just cannot give credit to the system we’re playing.
  3. Rogers needed to release the ball way earlier but getting into space and driving forward was positive
  4. Thought the same. We’re letting them have it. Resting off the ball. I’d like to see more threat, but we’re keeping the defensive shape most of the time
  5. We’ve got more goals in us and their defence is pants
  6. Reminds me of a partridge scene: ”I’ll give you ‘monkey and a bag of hooves’”
  7. I’d love to see a day in the life of Unai. Ultimately, I think he lives and breathes the game, but then he has a way to distil all of that knowledge down in a way that the players can understand and act upon. He is like a v effective teacher: having all of that knowledge is one thing, but being able to communicate it in little practical changes here and there is next level. I don’t just think he’s a good football coach, I think he’s a remarkably intelligent man. I guess Arsene Wenger was like this too. I am sorry to bring him up, but the comparison with Stevie G (and many other former players in management) is instructive. He just cannot begin to appreciate how Unai sees the game; let alone communicate this to the players.
  8. Crowd need to stay on side today: these boys are going to be tired af - probably more mentally than physically - and we need to lift them. I trust the boys to do the job: they’re showing massive character this season and more and more of them are stepping up when needed.
  9. Makes the penalty area his own in shootouts. Controls the ball, the space, the crowd…he controlled the referee for crying out loud. The man is a maestro in these situations
  10. He is getting a fair bit of quiet praise in the media atm, but you’d hardly know that he’s second only to Haaland this season. Can’t help but compare this to the flash in the pan when Nketiah was scoring for Arsenal: next big thing, blah blah. Maybe Ollie thrives off this sort of thing?
  11. Watching him is like watching a child. Has no emotional resilience. Lacks confidence in himself. He's psychologically ruined. Skysports shouldn't be giving him this platform: they might think they're helping him but it's counter productive. It's like watching a car crash in slow motion.
  12. I wish they would have asked him what he saw to be able to come to that conclusion. Instead, they nod their heads in a sort of reverent way, but there's also a bit of 'this guy has lost it, he's nuts' condescension there, too. Modern media: get the soundbite. F*ck the learning.
  13. Fantastic. How can this not give these players a massive lift for the remaining matches? This was special but we might have just reignited a few players
