To me our late potter years where is suddenly clicked had midfield option of Bissouma, Caicedo, Mwepu, MacAllister, Trossard, Gross and March. That midfield if it was together today with the rest of this squad would be in and around the top 6.
Even that summer at the start Gilmore came in...
They were a better team than us, big atmosphere which players didn’t deal with, playing seasoned internationals with a lot of European experience playing with confidence..
🤷♂️ they are the best 2 wingers we have got for the way we play. They have been missing for months. We may well play well here and there without them but more often than not as is clear at the moment we can’t. It’s not the only short fall we have there are many.
Winstanley hasn’t exactly set the world alight at Chelsea with billions to spend and DA changes his colours and commitment to the cause pretty regularly. There is more to it than that.
One big difference he has a prime Gross, Bissouma, Caicedo, Mwepu, Macallister, and trossard in that midfield 5 as options.
That said what he’s currently doing tactically isn’t working he needs to adapt.
Not so much the minutes more the personal. It’s clear as clear can be we can’t seem to play how we want without Mitoma and March. It’s clear as day the CM area overall is lacking quality wether there all fit or not. It’s clear that RB we are short and LB we lack depth. CB if we are honest with...
I thought he did ok. Hard to judge a game v city when so many other players who may start were not available. I liked his corners they beat the first man which is an improvement on almost anyone. Hit flat and with pace. Defensively he was ok, body position wise he gets what he needs to do block...
Sort of garbage I’d expect from a Leeds fan. We deserve it because we once won something and we are a proper club. If they get up on merit fair play to them but not because they were good in the 70s annd had one good side early 90s and therefore they have a Devine right to be in the premier league.
I think there is clearly talent he’s still a kid trying to play the leading role on a football pitch. Physically he is outstanding - decision making he is still like Bambi in headlights. I addition I don’t believe he is a DM maybe more box to box. When he drives into space he opens up distances...
Easiest thing is football is selling players that everyone wants. Hardest thing is selling the ones on the back of what is now being described as a poor season (I don’t agree) by some when there under contract. Easy to say let’s move on 10/15 players.
Realistically we will finish around 12th...
It has been poor and we probably should be doing a bit better. It’s more the personal that are injured and the lack of CM depth and quality coming home to roost that anything. CM tonight and in other recent games has been so easy to play through at times leaving massive gaps to drive into.
I’d guess - RDZ stays, TB digs out a couple more ready made PL players out of the budget, the kids who have had a rough ride the past few weeks develop into more PL ready players and there is a good season ahead. But realistically a good season is 8th place or so and a couple of good cup runs.
Strikes me Bayern still view Alonso as there man long term and are playing the waiting game for him. The Barca job it seems they never wanted Xavi to go. Pool have eyes on Slot which in terms of style of play makes more sense that RDZ. Only job is the Utd one potentially tbh or something back in...
This is pretty fair. Newcastle have lost 10 on the road this season they appear to have reverted back to having travel sickness.
He seems to have somehow got Mateta to be a footballer which seems to give them a focal point to attack. So I’ll give him some credit for that.
With soft to heavy going I don t fancy much carrying to much weight around will be looking under the 11st bracket.
Limerick lace was 25/1 overnight into 12/1 in places is a fancy of a lot at the moment EW betting.
Panda boy and Mr incredible carrying good weight and still likely to be...
Shocking decision but the Leicester argument makes sense saves the embarrassing situation if that and also I suspect will mean there won’t be an appeal from Everton also saving the embarrassment potentially of relegation not being sorted until after the season ends.
But this is the type of...
