    Xavi Simons

    I am not sure because I have yet to see him used in a way which exploits his best skillset. I think there's a lot of that right now. You surely set people up for success. I do not believe that right now, we are setting up our players for success with regards to allowing them to be their best selves.

    Xavi Simons

    :) I'll take it in spirit and not insult... I suppose that depends on your perspective. I think the facts show that we are repeatedly using a player with some unique skills in a fashion which does not bring out the best in him...a bit like buying a Ferrari and using it to tow a motorhome or...

    Xavi Simons

    I think this is absolutely the case. Everything I have seen from the manager appears to revolve around this supposed 'safety first' however we do not appear to be any better defending AND with this approach, continue to neuter our creativity - to the extent we have people on here who claim we...

    The Case for the Attacking play

    What this shows is that we have been coached to advance in only one way; go wide, lay it off and see if there's any purchase to be had from the wide areas/can a cross be swung in. Look at the lack of movement inside when ONE runner/player in such an area would've created two possible ways to...

    By the way, not only did Richarlison start 4 of the last 5, he scored in three of those four games. BTW, take a look at a few pass maps for this season. I think you'll be surprised.

    Now who is being childish. YOU asserted a 'correction' which you could not be bothered to verify, instead you doubled down. By the way, is an 'authorpedic shoe' a special trainer for writers 😉? Whether Muani seems more purposeful was not part of that discussion. I think Muani looks excellent...

    Just to be clear we are talking about Richarlison?! Our last four games -prior to last night- were against Man Utd, Arsenal, PSG and Fulham. Richarlison started them all. He has played a lot of games this season (I provided the minutes) and Frank has spoken about the importance of being able to...

    I seriously think that Pacqueta is suffering from mental health issues and I hope he gets the support he needs. Not joking at all.

    Oh boy. Honestly, let's not even discuss the rest of your post below your 'Richarlison correction'...just take a moment and look back over the last few team selections will you? Indeed, take a look at how many games Richy has played this season...BTW, 5 goals and 2 assists in the Prem this...

    I mean, for me, that's what this club has always stood for!!! Hoddle, Hazard, Ardiles, Gazza, Modric, Dembele, Davids, Carrick, the list goes on and on...I see Bergvall, and at 19 I see a player who can age to 24 in football maturity in months if we build with him as a key member. Archie Gray...

    I agree wholeheartedly. I think there's a bit of hiding behind the 'he needs more time to adjust' rhetoric personally. And it isn't like between Xavi, Tel, Muani and even Odobert we don't have players who can not just form connections with him, but literally know and have played with him...

    OK. I think it is. We disagree. Richarlison has played most minutes this season, ditto Kudus. The left has been a little less fixed. Two out of three. Yet our main way of getting the ball to them is to ply long balls requiring them to win Ariel duals or second balls, or to horseshoe it wide and...

    I agree on this, even as someone who has been critical. It is absurd how many pressers these chaps have to do, and I think he is doing a very very good job of handling them overall (regardless of how I feel about what is sometimes saying). There needs to be a rule change which allows assts to...

    Your headbone's connected to your neckbone, your neckbone's connected to your, etc, etc...it is a system issue which is isolating the front men. We are simply not looking for them enough/not creating enough for them in an open play at the pace necessary to create from open play in the Prem.

    I hope we make a highlight reel this season of how many times we've been grappled to the floor by a defender who actually starts by looking in the opposite direction to where the corner is coming from.

    We are set up not to concede first and foremost and then to create chances on counters and using crosses into the box where we hope we can convert due to numbers. Tonight was a classic example of that (both brilliant finishes). I think if we had gameplans which actually used pass and...

    Why none of them see that as the move begins, Bentacur gets ahead of Burn and is trying to look towards the ball before Burn headlocks him under his armpit which of course is why Bentancur is then NOT looking at the ball. Given is right too; I've seen us 'defended' by defenders not looking at...

    When he breaks more often than not there is no quick option. In fact, one break saw him tearing away and actually being told to hold it up and play it back. I do think he is looking a little tired? One more assist tonight though...
