He's been very good this season, showing why he's played for Barca and has 40+ french caps. Moreno coming in on the left side of the midfield for Zaniolo also added some solidity and got Moreno further up the pitch where his strengths are better utilised.
-
The constant work he's put into improving his game is really showing and he's moved up a level again this season.

Interesting listening to JJ Watt on the overlap that the thing that surprised him most about football vs NFL was the agents fees and it's like the wild wild West vs NFL. Agents had a big anti competitive legal win in the summer led by the same legal team taking on FFP, technically they shouldn't be capped but they are definitely feeding off the huge amounts of money available in the PL and holding so much power on where a player moves. Money has ruined football, and agents are a by-product of that. The horse has bolted.

Realistically to keep us in a shout with 4th place, Newcastle need to win this weekend, if Spurs win, they most likely will get 9 points minimum bringing them to 69 and a better goal difference. I can see us getting another 6-7 points, if we were to beat Arsenal I could see us getting 9-10 points and even then that might not be enough for 4th if Spurs win this weekend. 5th and qualifying via co-efficient seems to me the most likely scenario for us to get CL football and in truth that would be preferable if it meant we win the conference league too.

I'd take that now if you gave it to me!

Us winning the UECL to cement a CL place seems a real possibility and would be an incredible way to end the season. The most stressful way to achieve CL football, but would be fantastic
-
The most positive post you've made in weeks, PL has gained points on Germany based on those games tonight.

Arsenal level...
-
City leading...
-
Arsenal should still win both legs, not sure on City, but Atletico and Arsenal winning would go a long way to help. We also need to do our business.
-
Ollie will be 29 next season has a contract with us until he's 32 and he's in his prime, can't see anyone paying the money we'd want for him. As crazy as it sounds though, depending on FFP if we were offered 100m+ I'd consider it, if it meant we had room to buy 3/4 top top level players to take us on another level. Spurs have sold Bale and Kane and still pushed on. Unai also has a history of getting goals from his number 9s everywhere he goes. Can't see us selling anyway and Ollie has been brilliant for us and would be difficult to replace.
-
Luiz is crucial to us, and a top top player, but it's a team game and missing Kamara has had an impact on Dougies form. Kamara has been our biggest loss this season.
-
Spurs should finish 68-70 points, Brighton away is a very tough game for us but if we can get 2 more wins before the palace game that should cement 5th and give us a chance at 4th on the final day of the season. We should have a clearer picture by game week 36 as to whether 4th is achievable for us as Spurs will be expected to win their last 2 games. Very tough run for Spurs now and Newcastle away is always a tough game despite their form and injuries.
-
No game is a banker in this league and even at 2-0 what happened yesterday can happen. Disappointing, but perspective is needed, we're in a brilliant position and they key point is we still are, and 4th place and a european trophy is a real possibility. We need to strengthen every season, and irregardless of how well we do this season we still need to push forward to close the gap to the top 3.
-
I can see Spurs getting 11 points which would put them on 68, we need to win 3 imo, we need to be targeting beating 1 of Arsenal and Liverpool, I think we we'll beat one of them not sure which. All tough games but we have the capability of winning at least 3 more.
-
Blessing in disguise, we need a player of his quality for every game but he's played a lot of minutes, we need him fresh for what hopefully will be another 5 European games and 4 league games to end the season strong.
-
Conference League win and a 5th place finish that gets us into CL and build Unai a statue. Newcastle had no European football to contend last season. Would take that every day, not overly worried about getting 4th as long as we can get into CL, which is far above my expectations for this season. Before the season started od have taken top 8 and a Conference League win.

Fulham thrashed Spurs 3-0 last week, they will definitely lose a few more, wouldn't be surprised to see them lose 4/5 more. We need 3 more wins from 6 or 1.5ppg and that should be enough for 4th. I also think Arsenal are beatable next week and 4pts from this 3 game run would have us right back on track. Every game is winnable but tough now for the rest of the season and today was never a banker, disappointing not to win from 2 up but overall we're managing with a huge amount of injuries and suspensions.
-
Utd are currently worrying about West Ham and Newcastle winning today I. Their battle for 6th. We need to get 3 more wins and I believe that will be enough for 4th.
-
The catastrophe fpr some posters is incredible, I guess it's how they deal with things not going there way. We're currently in 4th place. Spurs still have to play Chelsea, City, Arsenal and Liverpool. I'd rather have the points on the board.

Important point in the end, should have been more, Dougie needs a rest
-
It doesn't really matter what utd or Spurs do, we still need to win 4 more games and finish the job.

Sportswash! - Let’s oil stare at Manchester City!
VillaJay replied to Zatman's topic in Other Football
I just can't take to Pep and no matter how many titles he wins or how many passes his teams make a game, his achievements are always with stacked odds, The Messi era, City's cheating and oil backed club, Bayern all achievements that should have been expected. He didn't invent football or tiki-taka, his well known liking of nandrolone and links to proven drug cheat team doctors he hires at every club also raise questions, plus he just seems a very unlikeable guy too. Mourinho for me, was a better manager, what he did at Porto, Chelsea and Inter was far more impressive and box office with a love him or hate him aura. -
Great to see him show some end product to his game today, he's lovely to watch on the ball but up to now felt a little like he was a bit of a highlights player, if he can step up and add goals and assists and even just influence goals and assists he can play a big part for our run in.

TNT on the whole is really poor, getting carried away with City beating our B team today and no real balance to their reporting. I find it really mad, the lack of preparation or knowledge that these pundits have on whats happening at non big 6 clubs, it should be a pre-requisite. Even the commentators seem less prepared, whatever about Martin Tyler and old school.commentators today, but at least they did their homework. More football on tv = lower quality coverage.
