Player of the season and PL defender of the year if you ask me. Not an exaggeration to say if he'd had this season at Man City he'd be up for the Balloon d'Or.
With RDZ the key is the defence. JP isn't as bad as some on here are making out. But when you have a nervous player, who is inexperienced and (in all honesty) probably doesn't have the passing ability or composure to do this at this level (yet?) the whole thing goes to pot. If you have a bad...
I do think though that Mac and Moises have to be starting every game. I know they had the WC too, but they're not going to be here next year and are two of our greatest ever players. You just say to them 'look boys I know you're tired, I know you're hurting, but it's four more games. That's it...
Spurs too. Obviously we've played really well since, but that shocker and the Man U game has rather shot our already tired legs and fried us emotionally. Doesn't help we've got the three best teams in our last five games either. Last night was a bit different but I don't think the Everton game...
I'm really f***ing worried. It's mad after this season.
Moises is irreplaceable. Mac is so important. Colwill is a player very hard to replace as LCBs are so rare. I'm worried about Europe. Just look at West Ham.
Criticism of JP a bit harsh but important to remember he was signed pre RDZ. He doesn't really scream an RDZ CB to me. He asks a hell of a lot from his CBs and JP has hardly played. I don't actually think he'll be here next year as he's a decent traditional CB and we are likely to be getting in...
My worry is he is irreplaceable. Everyone keeps saying we will find another gem. You don't always find another gem, especially to replace a genuinely world class midfielder. In fact even if we found another Caicedo he'd be three years off Caicedo MKI. It's a real worry and I think the only...
It's not as simple as that. You don't have a huge advantage playing every 7 days Vs every 10. You do have a serious disadvantage if your manager feels he can't pick your best players each match. Or they're injured because of the added physical demands etc. This is purely down to the congestion...
Basically you can thank the world cup for this. We've really drawn the short straw with the fixture congestion but that, Forest and Everton were really f***ing poor. Like dog piss poor.
Life under RDZ certainly isn't boring huh? Definitely the best football I've ever seen but I also the first half against Everton the first half tonight were the two worst halfs of football I've seen us play in the Premier League. Even when CH was doing his 'just defend don't shoot'. It's looked...
