It's horses for courses, and I think we have demonstrated so far that we are a little more adaptable now than in the De Zerbi era.
I would expect that we would setup more defensively against the better sides (i.e. like we did at Arsenal), where we were competitive the entire game. We were a...
A very good footballer and would be an amazing signing for us - but we do have some options already that play a similar role. Being kept out of Arsenal's side by captain Odegaard which is nothing to be ashamed of.
Yesterday was much better than Denmark but still nowhere near the levels required to win the thing.
Why Southgate felt he'd need Gallagher in such a match is beyond me. If he really needs another DM alongside Rice then Mainoo has proved he is a much better option than Gallagher or Trent. I...
2 reasons:
Southgate is dreadful tactically.
Our defence is average at best.
I hope Southgate proves us wrong, I just feel that with a different manager we'd stand a much better chance with the attacking and midfield talent we have, which I think is the best in the world bar none if all are fit.
How to disappear completely is a masterpiece of a song on what I think is otherwise a fairly weak album by their standards (Kid A). How it builds up, his voice, genius. Sends shivers down my spine every time. Definitely underrated.
Other honourable mentions for Lucky and Where I end and you...
I tend to listen to Drive Time more often than not on the way home from work and I find Andy Goldstein very entertaining. Cundy and Jordan both decent too. I don't listen in the mornings as can't stand Alan Brazil.
Experienced in Europe and will be very organised and hard to break down. Rely more on individual talent up the top of the pitch with the likes of Dybala. Will be tough but certainly nothing to be scared of.
It depends how you define 'fast'? Are we talking explosive quick changes in pace or someone who can run the 100m in 10.something seconds?
Mitoma is frighteningly fast over a short distance as is Lamptey (particularly a couple of seasons ago when he burst onto the scene).
I would be very surprised if they were to go for RDZ over former player Xabi Alonso... who by all accounts is absolutely ripping up the Bundesliga right now
I thought Igor did OK yesterday, he played better than JPVH. But I felt he was ponderous in possession at times and often held onto the ball for too long. When our forwards asked for the ball to feet he was a second or two late to make the pass... that can make all the difference with our style...
