Unpopular opinion now I guess, but for me the Man U game showed me all his weaknesses, the amount of time he could have broken the back line with a decent run behind or dropping off more to pull out centre backs. Too much plodding alongside the CBs for me, didn't see much if any of his strengths...
It was clear to me after seeing Colwill shouting to Dunk & Webster and pointing at the empty Defensive Midfield space (or Man U AMC space) that De Zerbi had sent him on with instructions for one of them to fill that hole even with no Man U players there. It was a very smart move as that was the...
Exactly.
But as a side note, is anyone else just LOVING the selection headaches Potter is facing? It feels like ages since we last had such depth in quality and competition for places. Great problems to have, lots of flexibility in the squad now too, one of the many reasons I'm optimistic for...
I suspect many of our attacking players will be looking better now the "shackles are off" from Hughtons defensive football.
Not just because of the less restrictive mentality, but because they will have more time on the ball to show what they can do. Someone demonstrated this quite well...
Some good stuff on here.
I've been a veggie for 10 years now. Long-term goal is to become vegan as my reasons are ethical, I use soya stuff where I can and have tried Veganism but it IS very tough when you leave the house. Thankfully it seems much easier these days due to its popularity and...
100% Young Fathers this year. They've been growing and growing as a band so that makes their latest particularly sweet.
Going to see them in Brixton on the 10th
I said fans should get used to this treatment when we got promoted to PL years back.....

Only good thing is that its better than the Hansen days. They just wheeled...
I agree with a lot of stuff people have already commented on. He needs to play 90mins against a Fulham or Huddersfield for us to get a decent opinion on him, Wolves at home is the perfect opportunity for him, if he doesn't put in a decent performance then i fear for him (and for us).
The way...
Really really looking forward to this. The Jack Rodwell saga is still clouded in a little mystery, so be good to get a look into that and what went wrong at the club.
Really not liking the Man City doc. Its very watchable simply for the access and insight, but its basically a 8 hour long advert...
What can we see differently from last season in terms of how we line up and play?
I’m expecting much of the same with better players. Maybe use of 442 a lot more than 4411
Very impressed with the signings so far. Most players are an upgrade from what we have and some offer slightly more...
He's completely brain washed you with his passive aggressive nature.
Don't get me wrong, what he's doing for our team on the pitch is great but I don't think he should be allowed near kids.
How Gareth Crooks earns his money.......
Watch a football game and highlights of others. Put players who scored in a "Team of the Week". Write a few words, exaggerating opinion. Do nothing for 5 days. Repeat
