I mean, this isn't really a solution for us. Or at least, it's a solution that works for everyone. Let's sign top players on top form and we'll be so much better. No shit.
Instead of hoping we sign primo Pele and Maradona, backed up by primo Makalele to sort our midfield, we might try something...
It's a good read. And a reasonable framing of the stakes for next season. Was the the opening 10 games a post Conte bounce? Or a new manager bounce? And can he instil more resolve next season.
The overall trend looked like improvement this season but that's in doubt - tarnished by a second half...
Yeah, we could run up the score against them if we're at it. But I think we've been so poor for months and the soft concession of chances suggests a lackadaisical attitude throughout the squad that wasn't there earlier in the season. The consensus now is that we're just going to have a big...
Interesting to see if Spurs wanting to fight to retain 5th place is as strong or stronger than Burnley needing to win to stay alive to the last day. Nice little microcosm for us related to general lack of determination in our team. Is that perception or real?
Every manager needs out-and-out top quality attacking players. It is concerning that the argument for steadiness, patience, and resolve with the manager is that we'll just magically get our signings right in a way we haven't been previously. I mean, nobody is saying we should bin Johnson, but it...
Anyone thinking Brennan Johnson isn't a major part of the solution going forward is miles off. He's not a development player, he's a major signing and one I expect Ange intends to have central to his plans.
The idea that we'll just sign better players wholesale - replacing a very recent 47...
It's still a major lack of shooting and crossing that's gumming us up an awful lot. Is that tactical? Is it viewed as too much a percentage game to cross from out wide rather than the inside channel? Is it considered too much a percentage game to shoot from 20 yards rather than well inside the...
Aside from that honeymoon period I've found him very frustrating. Always seems to want more time and touches than the tempo of the game will allow.
And I'm a bit hacked off at him because he clearly can do it at times, but melts away. Him and several others shy away while our form goes to shit...
Has anyone been watching us lately? Concern that we'd trouble City to help Arsenal to a title is laughable. I mean, it's incredibly optimistic in a way, but unreal. We've checked out and have zero confidence. We don't need dodgy lasagne. We don't need to play the kids because they'd likely do...
Spurs are on the beach, just like Brighton and some others. Anyone who saw us against a poor Chelsea side will have no concerns that we'll trouble City.
Fans' histrionics is easily more annoying and a waste of time than any issues with refereeing. I'd bin VAR off at the drop of a hat, but a lot of that is based on this constant moaning and conspiratorial nonsense from footy watchers as much as it is about the technical issues with refereeing...
The rules of the game and their implementation make that a peno these days without much argument. But it's a joke that we've allowed the game go this way. It encourages the likes of Havertz and hundreds of other players. Contact should not be the standard in any way for a penalty. He's dragged...
Doesn't matter who he picks. Just play like it's important to score goals and keep clean sheets. All the rest is noise. We need a more determined team - there isn't a formation or selection dilemma that can sort that. Whoever plays just has to up the effort dramatically compared to recent months.
A couple of big hidings, like newcastle or the 1st half of arsenal, and a loss to Burnley would certainly test the resolve of many. If the season ended now Ange would be better off. I don't see changes afoot, but this is setting him up for a pressured start to next season.
The under age set piece defending must be resolved. Marking zones when the opponent can then overload one of them AND choose where the ball goes is mental. And whatever about desire to head it, Chalobah had a completely free header direct from the in swinging free kick. Nobody near him. It's...
It be a good statement of intent to get Maddison out the door. He's like a lardass wandering around 2 yards off the pace for the last 5 months and still full of himself despite achieving fuck all.
He was fucking blind to Leicester's demise during relegation and unable to change the fortunes of...
Well, we sacked him for starters. We've been listening ever since about how lucky he was. But I wonder if we'll ever see days like it again.
But aside from that personality, the Spursy mentality of cocky arseholes who've never won a fucking thing thinking they're the dogs bollix is something...
The age old mentality issue is what blights our club. The lack of fight and lack of basic will to win, will to keep a clean sheet, will to get in dangerous positions is so frustrating and yet so commonplace. They all revert to a fear of losing possession rather than a determination to cut...
