If Graham goes onto a bigger club he will get a much rougher ride from the fans of those clubs that a few boos at the Amex. If that is his ambition a thicker skin is probably a good thing to put it on his xmas list
He is so much stronger on the ball and can now hold off defenders. There was a moment in the second half where he had a defender trying to wrestle him off the ball but stood firm and won a free kick.
Player of the season so far for me and hope it continues as boy do we need his creativity...
He would be the first to admit he should have scored yesterday but we need someone in addition to Maupay not instead of him.
Even with the missed chances he is still one of our best chances of scoring at the moment and we create more when he plays
This season Maupays numbers stack up against...
I don’t think we should or expect us to be in the proven PL striker market as that is out of our structure.
However £20-£25m plus high wages is the entry point for strikers with potential but we are not even in that market at the moment.
We seem to have no issue with the risk reward of...
I don’t buy this statement there are risks to all player purchase as we have seen with AJ, The DJ and a number of midfielders on our books we paid £10-15m for as showing promise but remain gambles
We all know the hit and miss nature of signing strikers at this level but ‘do nothing’ is not an option if the club genuinely wants to push on.
Personally I feel another striking option is an absolute must if anything to give us another credible option to our only recognised striker (given we...
Who has it galvanised the press don’t make the distinction between those who did and didn’t so now we have all been labelled as booing when the reality was it was a very small minority.
I expect our manager to rise about the minority even when directly questioned something like ‘I heard a few...
It was a minority so Graham really needs to learn to rise above that. Responses like that annoy fans in the same way reading Barbers programme notes where he always focuses on a small number of fans rather than acknowledging the majority.
I don’t think anyone (even those who did boo) left...
With Dunk, Webster, Duffy at CB and Biss in front of them that should be enough defensive cover but then we layer Lallana on top of that who has shown he would rather stroke the ball around the deeper midfield with Biss than create any problems in the final 3rd. Adding Groß or playing Moder or...
We struggle against any team who sits in behind the ball as we simply do not have the quality to break them down. That’s why we have struggled at home as many away sides know this and just sit in and hit us on the break.
I hope Maupay is not going he is the only fit striker we have who has proved he can score at this level. Also started every one of our wins this season but has become a victim of this false nine experiment of late
When it is perfectly legal for a then 17 year old to rock up to the situation with a AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle then you know the country is not even trying to help itself resolve this issue.
Removing guns from America is like asking people in the UK to surrender their mobile phones
So Lewis Dunk 29 is being replaced in the squad by younger and more longer term options like Coady 28 and Mings 28??
Sure you want to lead with that argument?
Whatever the reason Southgate has a blind spot regarding Dunk and he is worthy of more than one cap when other inferior players are...
