I'm not sure i'm any closer to working out how we should be using Ferdi. I hope that FH is!
We've seen him a bit at right back, left back, and on the wing as a sub in the Wolves game.
I feel like he should be playing. He's athletic, physical, tackles, his delivery is good. He's obviously a...
Igor will get his first chance for a run in the side and I think there is every reason to expect he'll do fine, without getting to the level of Van Hecke, I think he can establish himself as the first reserve in that position
True. But so will our opponents. We have City, Liverpool, Saudi etc coming up. They will have it worse than we have.
I just think our situation may be different to the others in that we have 4 or 5 who just need that bit of time and maybe a closed doors friendly and they'll be properly up to...
Personal view, I don't think it will be that decisive. I reckon there will be quite a few draws when they play each other and none of them will get wins over the big boys.
Though I reckon Palace and Leicester will both beat Forest, so I guess they will find themselves in a marginally better...
We curse the international break. As football fans we're duty bound to do so. But again I think it works in our favour
We've got Adingra, Milner, Gruda, Wieffer, Ferguson, either just returning from injury or just getting their fitness up. This buys us some time
I'm on the right side of the north stand. I can hear basically what's going on in my block, but I don't really have any perception of what sounds are coming from other parts of the north, let alone other parts of the ground. Can here away fans sometimes, but not yesterday
My general comment...
I know we payed good money for Wieffer? But does he come across a little like he struggles to organise where his legs should be? He looks a little like a tottering giraffe to me. Not ruling out he'll come good. But I think Jack deserves to retain his place, albeit, he was quiet yesterday
Your comments are fair.
The stick that Steele got was way over the top. Had he let one through like that Spurs second goal, the reaction would have been proper toxic on here.
To be clear I completely support Verbruggen playing, I just think Steele is under-rated on here
Yeh, I was thinking about this too. Part of me thinks it's a, Baleba has played more international minutes (than Jack has in the u21s) type decision. But the more time goes on the more evidence accrues that the manager sees Jack as our current first choice fit CM.
I think it can help you play faster when building from deep. We can take fewer touches.
In the full back positions i think it is important. The great majority of full backs play on the side they kick with for a reason.
In centre back, i think it's less of an advantage, but some managers really...
I think it could be beaten. We would have to properly stuff Palace. A humiliation like they piled on us at their place all those years ago.
But yeh, i'm having a problem getting a smile off my face
Wonderful performance. A real presence and shows real confidence on the ball
His shirt to lose. It doesn't seem like Joao Pedro is back any time soon, if he were we would have a serious selections dilemma, we'd have to accommodate them both
