He got man of the match again at the weekend. Will be interesting to see what we do with him going forward.
-
Not much I dont think, why?
-
I've told you there what you can expect from Ollie Watkins. A goal every 3 or 4 games, which means him missing more one on ones than scoring them. That's what he is. Want a higher conversion rate, pay more than £30mil for a striker. The bulk of our players are of a similar standard now. We are crying out for one or two top premier league players in my opinion, which might move us on to the next level.
-
I dont agree with the last bit, I think that if a team playing in the champions league bid for him he would jump at the chance. It would be a weird move for him to us therefore given that we are midtable.
-
I dont know what people expect him to be. He's a £25-30 mil striker which gets you a goal every 3 games roughly. Good spell he goes 1 goal in 2 for a while, bad spell 1 in every 5 or 6. Harry Kane will get you a goal every game and a half roughly, but he'll cost £125mil. I suppose it's what the owners want to do really, we've now got a load of £15-30mil players, which gets you about 10th in the premier league.

It was pretty poor last night to be honest. Stoke didnt really get out of first gear I felt. They seemed both bigger and older than our lads, the latter probably the case as I know we have lots who could play out on loan.We had plenty of chances, like the first team today but just couldn't finish. Gerrard there again watching on. There should be enough motivation there for those coming through.
-
The one goal thing is really annoying. I think it's our last 6 or 7 losses have been by one goal, while our wins have been by 2, 3 or 4 goals. Does that tell us that we're close to being a decent side? Im not sure. If we could convert a lot of those narrow defeats into draws we'd be far nearer european spots. No points from Wolves, West Ham and Arsenal this season. Teams that we should really be competing with.
-
Where did you see this?
-
The bulk of Kanes goal return fir England is close range goals, tap ins and penalties. I though he was decent throughout.
-
This is odd now we're going in to April. Will presumably be playing this and the Burnley home games midweek in May.
-
That's phenomenal. I know theres games against weak opposition in there but wow!
-
Brilliant header! He must have a great record for England defensively. Always seems to be a clean sheet when I watch him for England.
-
Cant do any more than that. After Kane, who else is there to compete with, Calvert Lewin?
-
Does anybody else use lines from films or tv shows when they talk in everyday life? Not just random lines it's got to fit the message you're trying to relay, but you say the exact line in the voice or accent from the film.

To be fair, other than Ashley Young who was free, I dont think weve signed any player who was 30 or over in recent years. Possibly Heaton a few years ago if that was for a fee but a keeper also? Maybe we do need more players who have been there and done it. Or atleast we need a combination of youth and experience in transfers.

Mings is clearly first to that ball if he stays on his feet.
-
It's an instance of Saka absolutely bossing us from minute one and Mings losing his cool. If Mings stays on his feet he takes that ball away and beyond Saka. Mings created a challenge and a problem out of nothing. I'll defend him for a lot if things, and I think he gets a real unnecessary bad deal from the media and fans. But if an opposition player is dominating us Mings becomes more erratic in his challenges/discipline, its happened loads.
-
The problem again for me is the indiscipline. Mings didnt need to do that, he was in possession of the ball. It wasnt even a 50 50, he had the ball and chose to slide through Saka. And then McGinn comes flying in. And so both will probably be suspended at some point. I dont mind our players picking up bookings for fouls. It's the unnecessary ones that annoy me, like Konsa v Leeds. Maybe all teams do it though.
-
Thats staggering if so. Why are we having a player that's never scored one taking them.
-
Really poor today.
-
Didnt see it live, watching the highlights. But was that the refs decision to send him off, or lino/VAR? Very harsh red, challenge looks like a 50 50 to me.
-
It's not that they predict that, it's what the market price is.
-
I got about two thirds of the way through reading this thinking you were on about Ant from Ant and Dec.
-
The good thing now is that we have genuine competition for places across the team. In past seasons the eleven generally picked itself irrespective of player form.
