Nor do local kids - it’ll be half term week! (Sorry if I’ve misread the intention of your post and that is actually what you meant!)

That was 22-23 Mitoma. Back at the level where you worry if we can hold onto him.

The biggest difference between him and the other new signings is that this guy has the physicality to deal with the PL. Very strong lad who knows how to use his body but gifted technically too.

He’s only been a Spurs fan a few months then?

We are getting (and have been for weeks) overloaded everywhere which rings huge tactical alarm bells.

Sorry, I must have completely missed when Guehi got rolled by the attacker who went through on goal and missed (whilst Guehi gave up). Bit of a trademark move for Marc that getting rolled by the attacker one as you must be well aware by now. He’s a good player but I would be concerned that he...

Thank you. Will try.

Whilst I’ve got you can you please try and solve my conundrum with privacy messages I keep getting?! I’ll tag you in the other thread!

That’s a separate matter to your original comment that you’d love to get Barco back in our squad. With the current system we’re playing and with the players we have it just doesn’t make much sense. He’d be behind Pervis and Ferdi, arguably Hinshelwood and maybe even Solly in a months time.

The last thing our high line defence currently needs is a less than speedy full back with questionable positional awareness.

I think the more I reflect on it the more I have it down as my greatest Albion away day. From the cab to Gatwick all the way up to the return home, just an unforgettable web of memories all tied together by the pure euphoria of when Pedro’s penalty went in.

When was the last time Veltman actually played as a centre half? Specifically as a centre half in a 2. I think it’s one of those ideas that sounds good but there’s not much evidence to show it is.

I keep getting this annoying privacy message pop up every time I open a new page on NSC. I suspect it’s something to do with my phone as I’ve not seen anyone else mention it! Any ideas?

I think this is a good summary. The high line/high press does have positives and can lead to goals for us, but it should be deployed as a sub-game plan within a match. Not used for an entire 90 against strong opposition. He needs to coach the team to use the shape of good mid-block. We don’t...

Parklife!

Central midfield. Him and Ferdi could interchange in a fairly fluid system making it harder for the opposition to track them. Wieffer, Adingra, Enciso and Minteh on the bench will all provide options to change the dynamic of the set-up depending on the match situation.

Wonder if there’s a chance Ferdi starts in right midfield with Veltman at right back? Ferdi is reportedly comfortable anywhere so it would make us very flexible. Rutter could pop up on the wing and Ferdi could invert into midfield, and one of the midfielders could push on. Or we could...

Not sure that in anyway counteracts what I’ve said. Of course analysts will be aware. How that makes it through into their wider plans of preventing us from scoring is a totally different matter.

Nope. They will no doubt have done analysis on Hinshelwood, but he will still be (for now at least) low down on their priority list of players to stop. You can’t man mark/double-up on everyone, and - at the moment - Jack probably falls into that bracket of we’ll cover him through our general out...
