    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Maybe if we get few loans with options or obligations to buy. Gallagher alone will be around 50m if he's on sale and I doubt we find a striker for less than 35m.

    Match Threads Chelsea vs Spurs

    Arteta won FA Cup in his first season. And he got the job late in December and didn't have preseason with the team and didn't buy anyone in Summer to suit his system and wasn't able to get rid of anyone. Ange deserves more time, but we need to see progress next season and not just for a month or...

    Fragile Fanbase

    Fans are at fault. We should have some fan take the ball and hide it before opponents have set pieces, I've heard Premiership uses only one ball. Other option is for some fan to try to shoot another ball and hit the game's ball while it's in the air just before opponent gets a free header from...

    We bought a player from the most counter attacking team in Europe to play in opposite system, he was poor last year and then we spent a lot to get him. Too risky signing for no reason, unless Levy is playing 4d chess and wants good relationship with Forrest and first dibs on other players or...

    If he is shit at training or has bad attitude then don't play him at all and don't have him anywhere near the bench. If not then start him. Everything else is pointless when our midfielders are in shit form or just bad.

    He wants total football so there's incredible work ahead of him to come even close to it (we saw glimpses at the start of the season). I guess set pieces aren't a priority for him or he doesn't want to comment on them because indirectly it could make Jedinak/Vicario look bad and then some...

    "Lads, they can't defend set pieces".

    Surprised this Gil sub hasn't worked, fully expected a hat trick from him, followed by some Beatles reference celebration.

    Enjoyed us more when Sherwood was in charge, at least we had some exciting youngsters playing. I still believe in Ange and I think that next season we won't be shit but right now it's so bad.

    Exact lineup I would choose for this game, finally. We are fucked then.

    Youssouf Fofana

    Ange wants total football so probably wants midfielders that are good at passing, even if not defensively solid like Wanyama (then again he seems to rate Gallagher). Fofana seems to be great at progressive passing and dribbling, some solid defensive stats, shit in air. But stats on fbref make...

    He will get you 10-15 goals every season if semi-healthy. It's not bad plus he works hard defensively. We should sell for the right price but otherwise he's a good squad player to have.

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    I saw only youtube videos but I agree, he looks decent. Often starts the dribble from around centre of the pitch and ends up in goalscoring opporunity. Also seems to have Moura-esque leap, very good explosiveness in that regard even if he isn't the quickest. But again, youtube and actually...

    One time we gave him a chance to start games and he wasn't injured he was pretty good. That was for Mourinho, he was unlucky not to score a few goals, had some issues with turnovers as he was a bit predictable in favoring his left foot, but he was pretty solid for us. Plus that team really...

    Great news for us then. Although Disasi isn't terrible in air either.

    Thiago Silva might get a hat trick on corners. Palmer will cause us problems and we are easy to play against, think we lose this one. Our record there is horrible, maybe we snatch a draw.

    All it takes is one game. Brighton showed to others how to overload midfield against Conte and everyone started using it. Someone realized that Mourinho gave Aurier licence to bombard forward (but not Davies), teams adapted to our asymetrical formation and we started dropping points. Hopefully...

    If he gives some minutes to youngsters then yes. Donley will be 20 in January so either needs a proper loan (like Skipp, Walker, Rose had) or minutes in the first team. Guys like Moore need to believe that we will give academy prospects a chance. And if we still can't defend set pieces then most...
