Not Sure Borthwick is going to ever get England to where they want to be. The game is moving away from the kick and defend style. South Africa played that way in the World Cup semi and final but the conditions were torrid for both so it suited it. I suspect they’re trying to evolve from that now...
I think he'd be a good signing for us. He's not a 'wonder kid' but at only 22 he has plenty of scope to improve and has been doing a reasonable job in an average side. Also with Son seemingly having lost some of his top end pace we desperately lack someone in our attack with blistering pace to...
Why? For taking his time to weigh up a career defining decision? I think he was anticipating a deal weeks ago which would have been straightforward. Now his wife is heavily pregnant and supposedly is unable to travel thus him most likely not being there for the birth. I get fans are invested...
Makes sense to sell him now if he won’t stay on. We can either do a rebuild this summer and then another one next or just get it all over and done with now.
It’s not really about that’ll though is it? For me it’s about the difference they make to a team rather than where they did it. Slots history is of rapidly improving teams and turning them into winners whilst playing an attractive, aggressive style of play in the process. Besides, I’d argue he’s...
Ok so which youth/squad players are going to come in and instantly take us up a level? To be honest I just don’t see the quality there. All good blaming Conte for picking X, Y and Z but if there’s no better alternative then what’s he meant to do?
Some see it as gutless to play that way yeah. Play poorly with no courage when it’s 0-0 but only start to play well when you’re already losing. Pressure is when there’s consequences for poor actions. There’s less pressure when you’re already down 2-0 because there’s no real difference in going...
No one should be happier or benefit more from Conte's comments yesterday than whoever our next manager turns out to be. He's just gone in and done all their dirty work for them whilst exposing all the constraints that continually get swept under the carpet.
Then you’re not listening to what he’s saying. He’s saying a manager can only do so much because there is a glass ceiling at the club implemented by those above. It’s like going into a fight with one hand tied behind your back, it doesn’t matter who our manager is. I could understand your...
A straight red would've been very harsh but the ref already had the yellow in his hand for Ziyech before any of the shenanigans took place so thats one for the challenge which means he's escaped with nothing for the lashing out at Royal (even though he missed his face) yet Royal got booked for...
