  1. Of the four players who played on the wing he looked the best by a bit of a distance. Bailey definitely looked promising too, but Traore is a good player. He put himself about a bit too to get the ball back. I'm a fan.
  2. Yeah he looked good. He looked our best CM and I say that thinking he needed a loan.
  3. Why did he deserve it? Playing well against rubbish pre season opponents clearly doesn't mean much!
  4. Nakamba really hasn't come on leaps and bounds. He's the same very limited player he's always been. He's so woeful on the ball.
  5. George Weah's cousin for Southampton. I think there's a youtube of Redknapp telling the story. EDIT: Yet it was Souness who signed him—I'm clearly misremembering things!
  6. People say he's very beautiful at least.
  7. I'm not sure if I'm getting the comparison as our best starting 3 last year were surely Grealish, Watkins and Traore. And now it's hard to compare as it remains to be seen how we'll line up with two strikers.
  8. Emi has more soul than that other guy!
  9. I would want that myself, but Smith talked down the idea of playing Watkins on the left. There's debate whether that includes 'the left of a narrow front three'. Although his heatmaps put him on the left a lot, I think drifting to the left from a central position is very different to playing and starting on the left. He'd either have to take people on on the outside or drift centrally, and I don't really see either as massive parts of his game.
  10. We've done an 'all the right backs' situation but now with right wingers. Surely Bailey is going to end up on the left. Or if we play a diamond or wingbacks then it doesn't matter.
  11. If I remember correctly Højbjerg was utter dogshit against us in that game we won at the end of the season. He was miles from all our players. He looked hopeless! It's the only time I've seen him play though.
  12. I feel we jump the gun a bit with the kids based on a few friendly performances against only weak opposition. I think JPB needs a loan. Cantwell is ready.
  13. This is giving me flashbacks to the period when Jack is out. This isn't good, especially if our midfield is no better.
  14. Every time you say this, which is every time someone says it, I get more convinced you've only seen him play at best in the games against us. He's a great player and he would be great for us. I have some Newcastle friends and I've seen more than my fair share of their games.
  15. I think Grealish slowed us down at some point around 2014/15. Slowing us down is definitely not a complaint I'd have levelled at Grealish the last three seasons. He also did some pretty amazing through balls.
  16. I don't even want to see a pissed up passed out Grealish! Get it away from my eyesss.
  17. Do you think we were really planning on spending no money this summer? Our owners are meant to be ambitious.
  18. It was invented in the 1930s according to what I just read! You must be very old!
  19. Me neither! I emailed them to ask about it two days ago and I don't think I've had a response.
  20. I have learnt my lesson!
  21. Thanks. I like it he says we're discussing Bellingham!
