    Tosin Adarabioyo

    Could be but if we want to challenge on all fronts next season we're going to need a bigger squad especially in defense. And he's a very different profile than Davies. If we make it all the way through the Europa league next season that could be as many as 17 extra games, plus FA cup and league...

    Tosin Adarabioyo

    Then I think you're being a bit unrealistic. A player who is comfortable passing out from LCB who also has the defensive attributes to play in a high line like we want to play would be highly sought after and wouldn't be coming to be 4th choice on our bench. We're talking about getting someone...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    He said twice something along the lines of "I wish I could put that in some of the other players". After a long think about his wording. Suggest you watch it, I certainly interpreted it as saying that some of players don't have the right attitude or mentality. He also said some will buy into it...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    That's true and one thing I found interesting is in 2 of Ange's post match interviews he said he wishes certain other players had some of what Romero has. Sounds like he's calling out some of the players for bad effort. Not sure who he means but I'm not sure if that's a good sign that he's...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Nope, City had 62% possession in that game. The counter example to what you're saying is that City don't really change their game, although they do make adjustments depending on the opponent. I've never seen City sitting back and playing a low block though. They don't make that kind of...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Very sensible post. I would just add, when teams figure out how to play against your main system, which for us is basically a 2-3-5 in attack, you need to be able to counter the counter. So in my opinion we need more than one way of playing. for example, we use inverted full backs and wide...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Today was far less worrying than the games against Newcastle or Fulham. If our play is good, and attitude is good, the other stuff can be fixed. Particularly set pieces. That's a lot easier than teaching a team to control a game through possession. Today we looked like we partially corrected...

    I don't get this thing about left and right CB suddenly. I've said this before but plenty of great CB pairings have been both right footed. Vidic/Ferdinand, Terry/Carvalho, Nesta/Cannavaro, Puyol/Pique, and plenty of others. Because Dragusin had one bad game on the left side, suddenly we need 2...

    Premier League 2023/2024

    And that shows why he's probably the best manager ever. Changed the blueprint in a way no one would have expected to make it work in a different kind of league

    Premier League 2023/2024

    I was saying this in the match thread earlier - but Pep learned that tiki taka isn’t enough in the premier league and that you need strong, physical defenders who can defend and attack set pieces. Now they have another one from a center back playing left back. Now this Man City is like a...

    He reminds me of De Gea in his first season in the league. Like De Gea did I’m confident he’ll adjust to it over time

    I wouldn’t even pick him in the England squad at the moment, he’s been absolute rubbish

    He really needs to stop getting started by default. He's not playing well enough.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    Almost all the players in your lineup in your signature were signed in the past 1-2 years. Most of our key players were recent signings. I'll judge after this summer if we get the players we're missing right now.

    Eventually you can, but the only way to learn the attacking part - dominating games - is by doing it. It's like saying why learn to swim when you can just walk around the pool.

    People who leave this early in a NLD shouldn't retain the privilege of attending games over someone else who might want to and wouldn't just leave when the going gets tough.

    I think if you ignore the set piece concessions and they only had Saka's goal, we'd be saying we played pretty well and didn't deserve to be losing. We can't defend set pieces so ofc we deserve it but in general play we're ahead in basically every statistical metric. Only goals matter obviously...
