Disagree with those saying we'll sell in the summer as well.
Sure we'll get interest. But the lad is 20. I just don't think we'll sell at the first opportunity when they have had one good season. Not unless we get a Caicedo type offer, which we won't. The landscape has changed.
We're...
Well, Pervis can't stop Palmer from where he is. All he does is allow Palmer to be well onside. Agreeing that it was collectively a bad goal to give away ... if there is of course a good goal to give away
Yeh, Carlos has been magnificent and it's wonderful to see him chip in with goals.
In my view, I don't care who we've signed, none of them are getting in front of Baleba, as long as he retains his form and fitness.
There is a space alongside him up for grabs, but in my view Hinsh has also done...
I think one of our former managers was quite a prolific user of this phrase. It wasn't that far back, so you won't need a history lesson to remember who
You missed out Pervis playing everyone onside
And I take your point about Webby should have made an angle. But given that he hasn't done, the keeper has got to just try to hit Welbeck hasn't he? I mean it has to be ok to do that sometimes, when there's not much on?
I guess Chelsea would sell, still has 7 years to run on his deal and isn't making their squad, probably because he was a total liability in his first season there. Even if we could turn him around, would we match Chelsea wages and Chelsea contract length? I strongly doubt it, so he has no...
Isn't it always the same with Webster? Haven't we seen this mutiple times?
Comes into the team, looks very hit and miss. Plays 3 or 4 times, starts to look ok. Plays 7 or 8 times, starts looking international quality. Get's injured for 6 weeks. We go again
Difference this time is that...
I mean, is it?
There's plenty of strategies other than just high line or low block.
What a lot of people are asking for, is the best of both worlds, so we're in the faces, trying to get the ball off their defence and when it doesn't work we're not vulnerable in transition.
Just ridiculous to even be having a conversation about the manager’s position.
We’re not that trigger happy kind of club. Even if we were, we’ve only had a few games and he’s just lost his first one. I can’t see any situation where we sack FH this season.
What if we’re bottom, you may sneer...
OK Pep. But what is the point of a high press, if our defenders are just stationed deep in our half? The defender or keeper has an easy pass into midfield and whoever was pressing is now out of the game.
The high press and high line are intertwined
This is what I just don't get. Once we're sprung on the half way line, JPVH isn't getting back, any centre back we can realistically sign isn't getting back
The average centre back is probably 20% slower than the average forward.
I keep hearing about these fantastical centre backs we should...
The way I see it .... FH's approach worked very very well in Bundesliga 2 where teams just don't have the ability to play 2 quick passes to beat the press.
Here they do have that ability. Even Forest and those mid to low ranked teams have the players to play through our midfield 3 or 4 times...
Now is around the time we can start forming pretty accurate judgements on the 2023 signings
And in my mind, the development potential of Baleba, Verbruggen and Pedro and the potential of Barco outweighs the missteps of Igor, Dahoud and Fati. Over 50% of your signings turning out to be very...
Well ... and what if 1 decides to drop and 3 decide to stay in that nanosecond?
This can;t be the responsibility of the players. They need clearer instructions
