agree this is probably likely and i can understand getting rid but i would still be pretty annoyed given that we’ve gone into this window probably needing another midfielder and have instead chosen to make ourselves numerically weaker. hard to see how RDZ would be happy with that.
and be...
what’s perhaps most frustrating is the way in which we tend to lose these games. accept people will say “we have an attack-minded manager, this will happen sometimes”, but i really don’t think it’s as simple as that.
everton, villa and today, three games off the top of my head where we have...
steele absolutely dreadful tonight but the fact that this is so often the case that we concede these silly margins from not many shots tells me (as well as by watching the games) that we just seem to give away extraordinarily high quality chances. once the ball is given away in the middle of...
obviously would be great to win every game. but all i really expect at the end of the day is for the players to look like they give a damn and are playing for the shirt. that has not been the case tonight. unacceptable. no excuses
there’s nothing we can really do about bigger clubs coming for our staff other than try and resist as long as possible, so may as well enjoy the aspects outside of that, such as celebrating each win and qualifying for europe etc.
only way i’d conceivably be disappointed is looking back on...
this is a good point actually. current limit is seven. though wikipedia suggest they have 8 currently. so unsure how this would be circumnavigated. perhaps loan to buy deals are treated differently?
EDIT:
reading a bit more about it, u21 players who’ve been at the academy are exempt and FAs...
general consensus seems to be that he needs to toughen up a bit. however if being that physically strong is simply not in his wheelhouse then perhaps RDZ can play to his strengths. seems to be very technically strong so would suit our passing game. think our overall playing style relies a lot...
based on the stoke game, can only imagine De Zerbi will go strong for this game on saturday. We look unlikely to qualify for europe via the league, so a cup may be our best bet
conversely, the game against luton on tuesday will be very tough, and it does feel like we need a win, to get some...
think everyone’s arguing semantics here when that’s clearly not the overall point. take the iconic barca team of the late 00’s and early 10’s, for example. gilmour is very much our xavi, i think the point being made is that we’re very clearly missing our busquets.
