We certainly need to get it in the mixer more and stop this pissing around at the back, passing in triangles doesn't score goals - I'm suprised there hasn't been an RDZ in or OUT poll, a shocking stat
Agreed, he gave it large last season unnecesarily and came back to bite him, should have been off for an early bath too if the ref correctly applied the supposed rules for this season
Verbruggen had a great game yesterday BUT if we're being picky (which I know RDZ is) I think he should have been off his line much quicker for their goal
Ajax have actually done us a favour here I reckon, instead of putting all our efforts into a player who isn't that fussed about joining us we can move on swiftly to other targets.
Testamonial speed in the closing minutes, was a good workout against a team that got gifted a goal and came to shut up shop - can never read too much into a friendly, think we'd have gone on to win without all the subs which killed the flow of the game.
I respectfully disagree, when Sanchez burst onto the scene for us he performed exceptionally well but his consistency took a noticable dip. He's still relatively young for a keeper, but his seemingly relaxed attitude would not have propeled him to being one of the best in the world. Most of this...
If you look at the stats, you cannot get a much more progressive, ball playing centre back than this guy (if that's where he'd play)
Not particularly convincing defensive stats overall, but looks like an RDZ type player.
Go on then, how many signings do we reckon we'll need given our European tour has been booked?
With João Pedro confirmed, and Milner and Dahoud looking likely, where else will we need to strengthen the squad?
This is of course contingent on our outgoings but my early expectations are:-
New GK...
Classy post fella, I've got no axe to grind with yourselves after Adkins left. In fact you're a club to look up to in terms of overacheiving in recent years and promoting academy prospects - I've a suspicion you'll bounce back to the PL very soon with the quality young players you've got on the...
Are some people really being negative and talking about goal difference after that? If we win tomorrow it’s all done - it’s by no means guaranteed though
