Do we think he’s playing Igor at LB or trying the 3 at the back?

Not a chance, surely. This is exactly the kind of signing that the anti-RDZ crowd use to beat him with.

I couldn’t stand him and thought our fans massively overrated him, but his comment about Everton is blimmin’ hilarious.

Can he play number 10 though?

It’s a fine line.

The Palace game swung on total tactical incompetence, unfortunately. They blocked off the midfield and were often 3v1 on the turnover, particularly first half. It made our players look weak, but in reality you can’t ever win those battles when the odds are against you individually. It required...

Totally agree 👍

Haha, I’m glad to hear I’m not on the naughty list this soon after Christmas

You and I don’t usually agree on much. I must’ve misread it 😉🎅

We play with 3x number 10s, so there’s game time there for him.

I’m going into every game now with a “I expect very little attitude”, and this one is absolutely no different. If I’m being absolutely honest though, I think we may be on the end of a filthy spanking tonight, just to bookend a horrible 2024.

People keeping saying how much better their defence is, without saying how much more effectively they’re set up to protect that defence. Personally, I don’t think they’re better than us player for player. I think they have a vastly superior manager in charge, however.

The quality of his chances was much better last night than it’s been historically though. That’s a positive thing, I’d say. It suggests he’s waiting for better opportunities to attack.

I can’t like this enough.

We’ll agree to disagree on your first paragraph, but then again you’re the one on here telling me my opinion is wrong, not the other way around. But if you don’t think there’s a double standard, you really haven’t been paying attention. I totally agree re your second paragraph though. Estupinan...

It’s this imbalanced view and double standard that most of our fan base really struggle with 🤷‍♂️

I’d argue the opposite, but good effort. As I said in my other posts, I didn’t think Veltman was awful last night, he just made a few mistakes that we were lucky they didn’t capitalise on. That’s not that shocking of a statement. And when his sole job is to defend because he’s absolutely awful...

Finishing’s been a problem for 10 years though, hasn’t it. Aside from a year or two of Murray. As I’ve said in other posts, it worked first half. I’m much happier overall with the performance. The issue for him as a manager is how he reacts when the opposition work us out. He’s just not very...

I’m just offering balance.

Part of it is how we use our full backs, to be fair. Our RW is handicapped having Veltman behind him, no matter what anyone on NSC tries to argue. It’s part of the reason for Mitoma’s struggled this year too. For most of the season, teams have known that if they shut his side down, the right...
