Why not? Play in-form players outside their comfort zones. If you don't try it, you'll never find out if it would have worked, will you? By all means have a plan B at the ready if it goes pear-shaped. I'm sure Potter and De Zerbi played players out of position at various times.

Who said this has got 0-0 written all over it?

Do you think the same about the theory that Putin has Kompromat on Trump? Is that a conspiracy theory with piss all evidence?

You're right. Wolves very nearly succeeded in keeping City to 1-1, despite having 4 touches in the opp box to City's 85. The implication of your post is that we can't afford the luxury of a 4-2-3-1, unless Fab orchestrates one of his fluid tactical displays, that tbh, I don't pretend to...

And if he's the central striker, he can go between them. Not only will he terrify them, he will beat them in a straight line foot race. Few defenders can match him. Maybe Van der Ven. If you think we need width against Wolves, then we already have two very good wingers in Mitoma and Adingra...

Minteh is the fastest player on the training pitch, at 35.4 km an hour. Over a short distance, he's electric.

Yes.

Wolves are against the wall, so will fight hard. Being the central striker could be even more bruising than usual. I would keep Rutter where he is, and put Minteh in. He has just a bit more physicality than Adingra.

I liked the bit from Gerdes where he says 'I'm not an economist'. He isn't alone in that on Youtube*. But I think he was right to advise caution over an imminent Russian collapse. He said that he can't tell how long before something bad is going to happen. He favours some political or economic...

I sense that this isn't a drill and it could be an important joint operation.

I thought they were all in military camps in the far east - in Khabarovsk etc? I guess not. If I find anything about it, I'll post it. In the meantime........see my next post.

Somehow, ordinary Russians should be made aware of this. Perhaps a message on Ukrainian missiles and drones? 'Leave Ukraine now or die' '600,000 Russian casualties, now for the North Koreans'

Indeed. I also enjoyed the free Ben White stuff, especially when it became clear to Leeds fans that he was, actually, really going to leave them and return to the club he was registered with. That was good fun.

The obvious example would be Ben White, who we loaned to Leeds, in the season they got promoted. Ben White got regular football, and substantially increased his market price. While Leeds weren't a PL side in the loan season, they became a PL team at the end of it. TB/PB decided they didn't want...

MacAllister and Caicedo have just had a man-hug on the pitch, while a Chelsea player was down injured.

I probably should have been clearer. Teams from lower leagues are not on my radar. Nor non-league football teams like Rangers. I was talking about PL rivals, or clubs that piss me off, like Leeds.

Yes, I also enjoy seeing them do well. But what I really enjoy, is the knowledge, that when they leave the club they are loaned to, their departure will weaken that club, and that club will have to lay out a fortune to replace them, just to stand still. Alongside that, we get the benefit of...

It's because the criteria necessary to be a member of Brighton's squad are being raised. It's not so much that the club is raising the ceiling (we've been told several times there isn't one), but that it is raising the floor. This is why we have lost players like Maupay and more recently...

Another one? I'm still ahead of you though. But it's another sign of the paranoia at the top isn't it? How many people does Putin need to kill, before he thinks he's killed enough?

Good, solid advice from the NSC Ukraine war thread.
