I went Cuti. He set the tempo for everything we did. When playing out from the back you could see the lack of confidence VdV had when stepping out passing forward. He always looked for the pass to Cuti and it was Cuti who then played the press breaker.
With DS and TN offski for peanuts, it got me thinking about our record signings through the years and I'm struggling to think of any that were successful enough to warrant the price we paid. Was Rebrov a record signing, or Pav, Soldado, Bent, ? Anybody with better memory than me remember who...
I’ve often wondered if a keeper standing in the middle of the goal for penalties is the best tactic. Bear with me…
Let’s take a keeper facing a Harry Kane penalty. Kane shoots both sides, so I don’t know which way he’ll go. But I do know the length of his run up and routine. I suspect Kane has...
Genuine question, because I really don't know how VAR works for offsides.
1/ What is the engineering tolerance of the parallel lines they use? Are they considered to be parallel with the byline (and if so, which one), or perpendicular to the touchline (which one)? Since they are determined from...
I can't see us having ME and Gill in the squad, given neither are nailed on to make first choice XI. If we go for ME and PP in the same deal, I my guess is Gill goes the other way.
Very similar players, but ME seems much harder to knock off the ball then Gill and so better suited to the EPL. On...

Son and Perisic are constantly occupying the same space and looking for the same runs. Perisic is the older, more experienced and aggressive of the two so Son is generally the one to concede.
We look so much better in a 3-5-2, potentially with Kane as an 8 behind two from...
It's Catalan.

The Wolves will buy Trincão
It is a four-way game involving Barça, Wolverhampton, Adama ... and Francisco Trincão. The young Portuguese striker was on loan to the Wolves this summer - precisely because Barça needed to release too much salary. However, Xavi does not have him and...
My 2c on the inverted wingbacks. They were packing defence and we have no obvious aerial threat. So crosses from the byline were never going to work. By cutting inside onto a shooting foot from 20 yards they were more likely to nick something. Not saying I agree.
With the various merry-go-round moves and rumours of late, let's imagine that Poch jumps from PSG to Man U mid-season.
If offered a straight swap, would you take Poch back and let ManU have Conte, or would you stick with Conte and face Poch in the Old Trafford dugout?
fwiw, I'd find it a tough...
all of the big names being thrown into the ring - forget it.
They won't come and they aren't what we need.
Right now our biggest concern is not qualifying for Europe, it's avoiding an embarrassing bottom half finish. What we're missing is pride and passion and a sterile European manager is not...
