    Would really like this signing. Him plus a top striker and it’s been a frankly ridiculous window.

    Micky van de Ven

    I’m with you, I’m very happy we’re moving on Romero and betting on Micky. I think he’ll show how good he is again in DZ’s system,

    Because it’s not also just about tactics. It’s also about selection, fitness, confidence, form etc. No tactic is inherently good or bad in isolation. The fact that we conceded a similar amount of goals playing two widely different styles proves it.

    Micky van de Ven

    It just isn’t 99% of the job when playing in a high line though. He still has to do a bit of it, and he showed in the Europa League final he could be effective doing it, but in general playing in a high line brings the best out of him. And I think there’s a difference between the team falling...

    If you’re a high line manager I think he’s as close to the top as you’re likely to get. He looks like an absolute monster in a high line. He looks average as a box defender.

    I genuinely don’t think it was effort so much as a complete lack of of confidence. And then the lack of confidence led to stress about the relegation scenario. Which led to even lower confidence.

    Doesn’t sound like Micky has much time for the previous gaffer. 😳

    Challenger Clubs vs The Big Six

    This is what I find interesting, is that Villa fans seem to genuinely believe that it isn’t possible for them. Either because of the Birmingham location or something else. And then they look on us for being lucky, and annoyed that we’re able to spend so much on transfers and meet SCR because Bad...

    Challenger Clubs vs The Big Six

    Yeah, Villa fans are definitely mad at the regulations, but they seem to weirdly have reserved a special place of hatred for us, equating ‘hosting Beyonce’ with getting bought by oil money. Our version of being lucky is that we’re in London, and can host concerns and the boxing, apparently...

    Challenger Clubs vs The Big Six

    I’ve been meaning to start a thread on this, because I’m interested in the debate. I had assumed that ‘The other 14’ would actually look at Spurs as an example, and be happy for us to some degree that we built our financial power over the course of a decade plus, executing an extremely complex...

    Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

    I think he’s taking a fair amount of inspiration firm Mandani, in that signals and visual cues can tell a story. As well as easier ‘quick wins’ that in reality don’t make a huge amount of difference to people’s lives (because the bigger structural things take years to solve) but do help people...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    Yeah…honestly I made the mistake of under estimating Spain. I was so confident that England could beat anyone. My only concern was France, which I thought was a coin flip, but everyone else I thought we had too much physicality for them. And when you combine that with the fact that it looked...

    I agree with you 100% on Southgate.

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    I don’t think it’s beyond tactics or subs, but I do think it’s gone too far in that direction (in the country at large) and not enough consideration applied to executing better on the pitch. And I think it’s often spoken of as if doing X or Y change would have made a difference, and not enough...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    My point was that if we can’t accept Tuchel’s words at face value then I literally can’t debate with you. Because we just have a fundamentally different perception of what those words meant. It’s not to deny you your opinion. I have just read Kane’s interview with The Athletic. ““The last 30...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    But where has this come from? It’s never been Tuchel’s profile. I think he picked a side to bring ‘the best’ of the Premier League, which as we’ve seen in how our clubs have dominated in Europe has been largely because of a physical advantage. I think it’s a strong thesis to try and apply that...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    They already didn’t care about our wingers because they moved 6 into their front line even when we had Gordon on. They seized the initiative and imposed their will. Maybe Rashford is fresher and it forces them back a bit, equally maybe it doesn’t work and Rashford ends up on the floor trying to...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    What I don’t understand is how you think he didn’t give them the permission to be further up? He’s literally given interviews saying this was the case, after the semi and after Croatia. Clearly it’s a repeated problem he and his team were concerned about, Again if you just chose to believe he...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    He can bring Rashford or Saka on, but they would have to be willing to stay up the pitch and be an outlet. If he didn’t think that was going to happen, I see why he didn’t do it. They had Gordon on for a good while after the goal, and he was defending. Rodgers was back. He was telling the team...
