    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC vs Manchester United ***

    The side/system genuinely confuses me, there are definitely moments/spells where we look unplayable. Part of me says, same show, different day Part of me says, Solanke/Gallagher/Kudus, at least one of them should have scored, how do you compensate for that? Positive view - Gallagher's best...

    Luca Williams-Barnett

    He is, but he needs to be in squad, and get 10-20 minutes. One of RDZ's flaws is his system is predictable, LWB could actually bring some of the unpredictability of youth to the system that could make an impact.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC vs Manchester United ***

    Don't see it but RDZ needs a win here, I'd argue a good win but expect he'd take a scrape by win. Follow that up with a decent win against Coventry and we could try to build momentum. Lose here (badly would be a mess) and the pressure on the Coventry game at home (with our crowd) becomes too...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Not sure, maybe it's definition of culture/mentality/whatever (conversation I had with @thfcsteff), it feels like a lazy narrative, this squad has lost more than anyone bar relegated sides for two and change seasons now (and some of them went down with better home records than us). I know...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Don't agree, and the comment is beyond the scope of RDZ. Over the last 3 seasons (including this one), the team has (not hyperbole) lost the ability to win almost any games, and while our fans and critics are happy to jump on board and brick on the team/squad/gaps, just compare our results to...

    Luca Williams-Barnett

    Complete true, but the real question is what is our strategy? Are we Chelsea where we have no loyalty/interest in youth other than a mechanism to monetize? or do we have some real intention to always have a youth player in first team? (which would have dependencies, like x in pipeline, x on...

    Luca Williams-Barnett

    Brings a challenge for us, up to a couple of years ago, none of the young players we let go really gave us regrets or looked like wrong call. All of sudden, Parrott, Vuskovich, Lankshear, Phillips and now if we potentially lose LWB, the decisions look a lot less smart, a review is needed.

    Naughty Emirates Marketing Project - Spot of Compo??

    Who it affected the most (just European qualifications), interesting, it's us for CL mostly, followed by Everton (for EL spots)

    Luca Williams-Barnett

    Think him being the only Academy player in photo is a message to him. I'd include him, but we also have to protect him, it would be better to have him make an impact in a side doing well, than expect him to save a side doing badly

    Naughty Emirates Marketing Project - Spot of Compo??

    They shouldn't have, and there will probably be some push back once City's fate is more clear. That said, there is a difference in sheer scale of breaches, the fact that City has actively worked against FA, threatening, using country to country trade pressure and actively stating at points that...

    Levy's Plan

    It's way more complicated (as you hint at in last line) It's 3 trophies (2 cup finals and a 2nd place) instantly Quick AI check says between 2012 and 2024 if you removed City/Chelsea, we would have 5 more CL participations by league place alone. That's massive, real, immediate implications...

    Naughty Emirates Marketing Project - Spot of Compo??

    It is as @Kandi1977 said, immeasurable damage. Think about it just from a Spurs perspective, if City and Chelsea were stripped of their titles, we would have 3 more trophies in last decade or so. That completely rewrites the story/success of that era for us. and that's just affecting where we...

    Conor Gallagher

    We are expecting to use Conor for what he's good at, i.e. off the ball work, pressing, and contributing with goals from midfield (something he has shown he can do for Palace/Chelsea). What we (me) don't want to see is us playing him as a #10 and expecting a Maddison type performance (it's won't...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    The 6th place is still the best place finish Brighton has ever achieved, despite being one of the most widely praised clubs for how well they are run (well after he left). I could be wrong, but it's also the highest any of the non top 6/Villa/Saudi Sportswashing Machine group have finished probably since...

    Pedro Porro

    I'd be tempted to play JPVH there, with Tosin central Still have JPVH passing without the lack of aerial coverage in the center. Problem is he would probably get cooked by quick wingers

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Let me start by saying, no stat will help us if we don't start winning games soon, and consistently. That said, xG (especially as being applied in our case) is deeply flawed. The example would be (think it was against Everton) the chance Fernandes had running into box/edge of box, where he took...

    Conor Gallagher

    I have no issue with us listening to the medical team, but you can't expect Fernandes/Maddison/Gallagher/Kudus/Marmoush to all play the same if in the #10 position. And that to me is the main mistake RDZ is making. When Maddison comes on for his 15 mins, the team looks lots better, and everyone...
