Mings - jeez. A left-foot but that's about it. well-trodden path now but I don't get it. I have to admit I am not sure what the story is with Henderson - has he recovered/played? Similarly Grealish, Maguire still out.. I am just wondering Southagte's rhetoric on injured players when he started...

I am also of the opinion that this clearly has a long way to go and the conclusion is not set in stone. The current impact on finances for the biggest clubs might mean their interest is reliant on very complicated deals which may/may not appeal to TB. The idea of selling the assets has to be to...

But not everyone sees the "negatives" as 0/10!

Like many have said, AC is very young. I still think his initial inclusion in the squad 19/20 season was circumstantial to a degree - I am sure at best he was going to be a 3rd/4th choice striker behind Maupay, Andone and Murray, maybe even Ali J (Cant remember what Locadia was doing) , and with...

Incidentally, Ali J put a similar sort of pass through to Welbeck at Leicester (league game) : Welbeck missed the 1v1 on that occasion.

Looks like it .. was that post Sheffield United game, last one of the season (c1986?) Cue the older chap in a tweed jacket swinging a corner flag...

we got "something" in 23 games this season. Only 9 wins is disappointing in the context of how those opportunities were squandered, but it also shows how close we have been to a comfortable mid-table finish.. another 4-6 points from those draws and daylight robbery of defeats, is all it would...

Can’t quite understand why anyone needs to feel “angry”. I read the post that GP is lucky that fans not in the stadium? That’s probably true .. I too am dreading the negative moaning , angst, because we haven’t won a game that we either deserved to or on paper “should win”. Whether you want to...

It’s because we get a little desperate to hang on. Like the “winning at home”stat it becomes a burden. So keen to defend the crosses, bissouma clearance cannons off Lallana, white on the floor and Webster knocked over as a result means the gap to shoot opened up perfectly for SB.

Pleased that we didn’t get less than it felt we deserved ! It was very frustrating to yet again lose a lead so close to the end, but a point against a top 6 side is very acceptable especially with the injuries as other have pointed out. Moder and gross did “ok” in make shift positions , thought...

I don’t think Welbeck helped AIi last night.. he made no attempts to get across his man , or to attack the near post when Ali had the ball in crossing positions. We were light getting players into the box with him too. I thought he played well enough, was as threatening as any other player on...

Me too - and funnily enough I think it would depend on the shorts and socks colour! If they go with the colours in the shirt (purple, yellow, it will be horrific. However, if they go with a solid dark colour, like the edge neck/cuffs, then it could be brilliant! (IMO obviously!)

The Albion : I was convinced that Trossard, with a season under his belt, a good pre-season etc. would be our player of the season by some margin, bringing goals, class and mesmerising play in abundance. He has shown it on occasions, but not consistently as I think he should. I am with others...

I agree with you.. although I wouldn't use the term "bad" - he has been guilty of missing chances that he himself would have expected to score and I think on that front specifically, he has lost a lot of confidence. The issue is that this sentiment gets taken too easily and often to "he's...

I understand the sentiment I think you're expressing here, but I don't think the comments Maupay refers to, social media/abuse as part of an "official" launch of an initiative right after the Sheff Utd match, can really be classified as "supporters critiquing his own performance". . I don't...

I think we are agreeing - investment and coaching will help as it will for any young player. Not sure that I agree that his movement is simply about confidence - his link play and movement has been instrumental in many of our best attacking moments. Kane does this now of course too, albeit the...

On a completely rational front, Maupay is daft, and has let his frustration get to him, and in that moment acted unprofessionally. On a completely irrational front, there is something incredibly annoying and tedious about the way that referees and their assistants behave at the end of a game. I...

For all those suggesting Maupay is some kind of "out of control hot-head, unable to control his emotions.. he is on 1 yellow card according to the Premier League Official stats! Same as Ali Mac! Less than that destroyer, Pascal Gross and that younger hot-head, Tariq Lamptey! ..and yet he does...

The highlighting of other teams "game-changers" is stark and their impact on their respective team's results is too. I would temper it slightly on the basis that reliance requires them to be fit, available, engaged at all times. Ultimately, they are not much better than us, for whom relative...

We are all WFH still and unlikely to return to Office until September. we moved into new office 3 years ago More flexible working in place now for all "office-based" positions, 3 /2 split Office/Home, but complexity is evident. I want to get back in full-time - for me the physical split between...
