Does show you how different the leagues are. Villa spent £90m in the summer, Hibs £1.4m. The quality is showing already. Yeah Hibs are all feisty and up for it, but even the slightest bit of quality from Villa and they carve through them. Should be 2-0 up without even breaking a sweat.
He was certainly overshadowed by Toney and plenty of my Bees supporting mates moaned about his lack of consistency, bit like Maupay for us. I've always liked him and he seems to be taking his chance very well at the moment. Even Wissa goes under the radar a lot. I think if Brentford have a top...
Brentford are a couple of years behind us in the development of their team in the Premier League. When we were in there position a few years back only really Bissouma was attracting interest and he went to Spurs, but all the rest was in the 'potential' bracket, nothing concrete. Now we've caught...
He loves scoring from cutting in from the right and then spanking it into the top left hand corner! March > Adingra > Mazuli. The right hand side is sorted for years to come 😁
The 'big' clubs are well aware of Evan already, just as they are with all our players. RDZ is just managing the minutes of an 18 year old lad who's on the brink of becoming a top top striker. We made a right hash of the expectations we lumped on Connolly's shoulders, I doubt we'll do the same...
England have just lost the middle of the park, Toone just been anonymous again.
Spain have been excellent since the goal, but again, a goal from our own mistake again.
Hemp and Russo have shown the Spanish defence is suspect, there's plenty there to suggest we can get back into it.
Not...
Problem is Man Utd still hark back to the glory years of the Ferguson era where they won nigh on everything and that just isn't going to happen again for them, unless the Qatari's take over maybe. At least Arsenal recognised this scenario and accepted they would very likely win nothing and...
You're right @The Wizard, they truly seem to lack any identity, cohesion in their play. Just a group of individuals hoping something will happen and invariably it does two or three times in a match and they score, which just masks their deeper problems. They were so pedestrian yesterday. It's...
No point derailing the thread. It's just an accepted term for Americans in England, there's no point going into nuances that aren't there.
As to your other point. Of course we're rusty, not up to pace from last season. We're only two games in, we've had the spine of our midfield removed, to...
Septic Tank = Yank
De Zerbi ball is high octane, in your face, we're going to score more goals than you and we're going to keep possession for longer periods. Ok, it might be more sophisticated than that, but it's a good surmising. That also means we are going to concede, we're going to have a...
Everyone is still getting into gear from the summer break, so not surprised he's rotated. The great thing is that if we're chasing a winner on 50 mins he's got a shedload of attacking subs he can bring to hammer Wolves with.
I think they're deservedly two up. For all the Aussies effort they really have nothing upfront if you snuff out the opportunities for Kerr. Sweden have played this tactically very well and Australia have been a bit naive.
The only thing about the goal was that Arnold was a wee bit static...
