    What was the trigger in our downward trend?

    My thoughts are that the academy is putting an emphasis on producing winning youth teams instead of producing youth players that can be successful in the first team. I wonder if that is because those in leadership positions at youth level are judged on where there finish in the league/what...

    What was the trigger in our downward trend?

    The chairman stripping costs down to the bone in the recruitment department at the very time when we needed to be better informed and smarter than the rest of the PL. I think this happened because of horrendous overspend on the stadium chasing the illusion of an NFL franchise to boost the...

    The "If we go down" thread

    Good to see so many of you coming to your senses and getting on the train I boarded ages ago! I think, at present, relegation is more than 50% certain. If we can somehow beat Palace tomorrow then we probably move that back to a 50-50 coin toss. It is clear though that the rest of the...

    Remember that penalty against Bentancur...

    You tend to actually need to have touches in the opponents box to be awarded penalties. The only way we could earn penalties is from long throws, corners or our hoofs towards the far side of the box when we get free kicks anywhere in the opposition half (or even in our own half near the half...

    Igor the Interim

    If we're playing 3 at the back and wing backs then I would absolutely go with Souza. If we're playing a back 4 then I think I'd look to have another physical player in there so use VDV.

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    He's hardly going to say "I really don't care about the league, we're just going for the Cup" while the season is still going on is he?

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    We kind of did. If you think we were playing the same gung-ho attacking football last season that we were the season before then we were seeing different things. As the season went on our football became less and less expansive. After the wins against Brentford and Man Utd, we were clearly...

    Igor the Interim

    I think his one on one defending out wide would be fine and his pace would be an asset against wide forwards. He is pretty poor with his positioning, which I think is less of an issue at full back then it is centrally. He has a left foot so can progress the ball down the line (either by...

    OMT - Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur

    Can think of Romero, VDV, Udogie, Maddison and Kulusevski off the top of my head.

    Guglielmo Vicario

    His positioning in general looked poor for that second goal. He seemed to be covering too much of his near post.

    Xavi Simons

    I think he could have a role in a 3-4-1-2 type formation, with him having a free role in the middle. Something like…. ———————- Vic ——Romero—-Danso—- VDV Porro——Gray——-Paulina——Souza ———————Xavi ———Solanke——-Richarlison Though even here we might be better off with Gallagher’s industry...

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    It’s a fallacy that he played the whole game parking the bus. We actually started with quite a high line. We dropped off and played deeper after going one up and we eventually settled into a low block as the game progressed in the second half.

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    Not true. We beat both Man Utd and Brentford in the PL playing defensive, counter attacking football. Those wins basically guaranteed our PL position the following year and we (management and players) then clearly prioritised the Europa.

    These jokers…

    There’s always a team that starts the league quite well and then drops like a stone. After 10 games or so I thought that was going to be Sunderland as opposed to us!

    It was definitely a 4. I agree about Gray at LB. We’d be better playing VDV there and moving Gray central.
