Tbh for the rest of the season we appear not to have many options. A tweak of tactics may leave us less exposed. The 3rd goal yesterday with the ball over the full back was so easy and it’s clear dunk doesn’t have the pace or fitness to get out to him to make a challenge. Even with the blocks...
Saying it as it is I suppose. Europe hasn’t gone. It should have but appears no one really wants to finish 8th. He’s a top pro and a top player and I’m sure he wants to be playing European football.
You could argue 3 of the 4 playing today are first choice. Webster for dunk maybe certainly based on 2025 form. and veltman or Lampety or even Ferdi at RB. We have invested a lot across the pitch in recent times just feels to me we are a CB or 2 light and it’s the area of the pitch I feel needs...
It’s easy to forget he is 21 and with around
50pl games at a guess is our most experienced PL midfielder.
He has Ayari playing alongside him most weeks who is also 21 with 25-30 PL games under his belt, Gomez who is 22 and played less than 10 games and Hinchelwood who has prob played 30 games...
Always been surprised no one has come in for Thomas Frank - think he’s been a fantastic manager.
I’d be most worried if I was Bournemouth as he seems to be the type that lots of clubs would be after.
Glad er was decent before in Germany but has Palace playing well. RB Leipzig would be tempting...
Impossible to say isn’t it.
I’d guess no but only because the squad has once again been ravaged by injuries. We have 3 players who are about 20 years old playing CM most the time and now Gomez who is 22. March has been replaced by a 19 year old winger. We havnt improved at CB or in the full...
Football is always cycles of moving players on. We do need move some along and evolve as a team.
Tbh a really commanding first choice physical CB with pace is needed and the RB position needs to evolve unless Ferdi is the answer there if he ever recovers from his injured toe. That will most...
It’s a decent quick counter - but yes it could have been stopped. Gomez has to go with the man first of all. A new role to him maybe, Baleba would have given Rashford a tougher time there. 2nd Bart looks like he had a 5 yard head start on Rashford when the ball was played. Second he hesitated...
Havnt they made the rule something like if a defender handles the ball in a natural position then it’s not a penalty but if there is any handball in the build up to a goal no matter if it’s a natural position or not then the goal won’t stand? I could be wrong as they change the rules around it...
Let’s write him off after 15 minutes of football and consign him to the scrap heap. He’s not played in 2 months and he has gone from playing championship to premier league. He’s is going to be needed in the run in.
This - seems mental playing big games like cup quarter finals when both sides have had half there squad away on international for the past 10/12 days. It affected both side so not an excuse but players are still humans - you can’t expect the best quality games whilst they are doing this. Players...
Positive for me was a good atmosphere in there and is a nice addition to match day pre match.
Food - £12 for a chicken burger is a lot but at least it was very decent. I’d rather pay that than eat that sad state of a burger from the concourse. Food was served quick even at 330.
Drink pre...
