    Down to a shit goal vs United? Color me shocked. Also, Ollie is good off it, but has no idea what to do once actually in possession of a football. Ings, otoh, is good on it, but can't seem to compete enough physically. Kinda wonder if we need to be eyeing a more complete forward who can mix it with defenders better.

    CouDignho?

    Lost every bit of creativity we had when he went off.
  5. the_eristic
    Sad, he's one I would've liked to see here, BUT....... does that mean we can finally loan Januzaj?
  6. the_eristic
    He's a true winger, is he not? Probably needs a loan for the rest of the season given the system we're playing now, but we're so short on bodies, the club might not want to let him go.
  7. the_eristic
    He's put in a few bad dives before (which seemed to start after they took the legit pen off him vs Brighton last year), but this one was impressively ridiculous.

    Saw that old sloppiness setting in towards the end of the first and knew the script. We still have some kind of mentality problem where we lose our focus and edge when something doesn't go our way. Need someone on the pitch who can settle things down and direct traffic, so to speak, but we don't really have anyone who fits that bill.

    Muscle injuries. Would fit right in here. Great player, though.

    Great play at times in the first half, but Ollie has to make better decisions and be sharper in the box. Cash pen was pointless, he has to be smarter there. Then, whatever the halftime talk was, it was rubbish. Came out slow, didn't react to their changes in time, then took the wrong players off just as we were getting back into the game. Konsa has a case that Lukaku's arm sends him to ground in the first place, but those will always be given to the Sky 6. Overall verdict: Should've stayed in bed.

    Sands is a good young player but nowhere close to Prem standard at the moment imo, needs to go to Germany or the like for a couple years at least.
  12. the_eristic
    Yeah, January would be too soon. I can see one of the big Turkish clubs being interested in Summer if he can prove his fitness.
  13. the_eristic
    He was, but picked up an injury and seems to have been in and out of the squad since.

    That save is up there with Guzan vs QPR for one of the best I've ever seen in real time. Phenomenal. Regarding his kicking, it's been off for a while now, but I can't help feeling part of the issue is he's been told to kick towards the flanks to prevent the ball coming back at us centrally where we lack height... but we also lack height in wider areas and the ball is never going to stick like it did to Joe Gresford. He also looks to throw it out quickly to start a counter several times per match when he claims, but we never seem to have anyone showing for it.

    Will make a good VT code name for him to confuse new members in a few years.
  16. the_eristic
    Shambolic decision aside, we need our midfield to support the attack better, when it's getting up to Buendia and Watkins, they have no real options and have to either wait and be pressured and/or play it backwards.
  17. the_eristic
    They've all got nothing on JBowz.

    Making massive business decisions based solely on a single letter, now that's a gimmick I can get behind. Aston Villa Vegas Villains Vitoria Setubal VVV-Venlo Viking FK Vissel Kobe Velez Sarsfield Melbourne Victory Varbergs Viktoria Plzen Valladolid ...Le HaVre?
  19. the_eristic
    Decoy. @bodymoor2 is the real account.
  20. the_eristic
    Will score his first and only PL hat trick against us if we sell him to another Prem side, guaranteed.
  21. the_eristic
    Will be genuinely angry if we sell off Bert. He's a very rare player who has the magic in his boots that makes you excited to watch football, which we desperately need right now!
  22. the_eristic
    I rarely watch them in the SPL, but I've watched most of their European matches and I don't think anybody currently playing for them would cut it here beyond just being bodies for the squad, which is not what we need. Doubt Lange would sanction stuff like raiding Rangers or collecting Liverpool castoffs anyway.
  23. the_eristic
    Just some journalist looking for a former player to make a lazy link, Mings is probably the biggest "name" of them. Then again, their owners could be looking for an England player or two to aid in their sportswashing like City.
  24. the_eristic
    I'm sad his time here is over, but something had to change quickly and the manager always has that sword over his head.
  25. the_eristic
    Nice goal from Josef Martinez last night.
