But then so many other teams are also in the same boat or a lot worse. New manager, new players, new tactics - of course there is going to be some improvement to be made after 7 games. I’m not sure where your expectations are, but mine weren’t that we’d be top 6 going into the 2nd...

I didn’t think this evening could get any better :lolol:

Detailed construction drawings for the North Stand have already been prepared…

I'm not sure it's a positive they only managed to score 4 from all the clear chances they had.

Dunk is likely to play every game if fit over Igor because he is a vastly superior player! It's difficult for Igor to get a look in because he's not as good.

Just picking this line out, your conclusion for why Dunk is ahead of Igor is because he is captain?

From Barney Ronay in the Guardian: True, it helps if an opposition manager chooses to shoot a whaling harpoon through his own foot, which is basically what Fabian Hürzeler did here by playing if not the stupidest high defensive line of all time, then perhaps the stupidest yet. Clearly, Hürzeler...

Not sure if we were slightly more sensible 2nd half, or their finishing was slightly more shit?

I agree re Webster, but actually felt at times we matched them as a team, but our tactics gave them chances from very little. Going to SB with Sancho and Palmer in great form and playing so high, just seems :shrug:

Football is pretty boring without discussing tactics, performances etc. I’ve never gone hyperbole with this player is rubbish or the manager needs sacking, but I think it’s reasonable to observe that tactically we’re giving a lot away at present without notable gain.

Only 3 starters haven’t played in the PL before, although one of them up from the Championship. I’m going with the new players aren’t the problem, rushing into new defensive tactics is.

I’m trying to think who in world football it would suit!? Perhaps in German football theyre less inclined to try the diagonal into the channel for the winger, but here in Blighty we still love a ball over the top. The only players I can see benefitting from defending on the halfway line with...

Our high line defending looks more like some kind of fringe comedy event.

Maybe needed to create a void space for foul waste / services to run under the first floor joists or there is some structural steels needed for the flat above and rather than box them in separately they lowered the whole ceiling to ensure the 1 hour fire separation and acoustic performance...

Exactly my thought! Had Baleba gone down it was his free kick - thought he was very unlucky and just stayed running on his path.

On the Savage and Sutton phone-in Chris Sutton seemed to suggest that in their day you’d likely have got away with it; I’m of the opinion that mid-90s that was still a booking, the kind of booking the likes of Savage, Scholes, Keane, Gerrard etc. regularly got, so this thought that they used to...

I think that’s at least a yellow 30 years ago, he’s lucky it wasn’t a straight red and a 3 match ban. He left the ground with both feet at full speed, that has been a no no for a very long time in football,.

Just need a CB not to go charging into a midfield pressing position and leaving an acre of space behind him. Maybe tactical, but in that moment just drop, the opposite of what Van Hecke decides to do. There wasn’t really any danger until VH left his position, that’s the key decision that leads...

Because the last 14 years have been an absolute joy!! :lolol:

This is why I needed a good accountant!
