Lets look at where we are at the moment. We have taken the decision to move from a more pragmatic manager, who specialised in defensive strength, bodies behind the ball, resolute periods of backs to the wall and goals scored from counter attacks and set pieces, to a new manager, who has a...
Westergaard lined up at the edge of the area. I said to friends at the time..." Ward-Prowse to Westergaard...goal ".....If I can bloody see it from my armchair, why can't Veltman, Dunk, White or Webster or anyone else for that matter. Surely the coaching team discussed this threat pre-match (...
Ryan 6......Time for a rethink.
Lamptey 6.....Started ok, faded badly, poor second half.
Webster 4.....Simply not good enough for this level. Poor positional sense, can't defend. Thinks he is Beckenbauer, trying to beat 2-3 players on a 40 yard run before inevitably losing the...
We have scored in every PL game bar home to Burnley. Goals scored is not the main issue. It is defending, particularly set pieces ( must be in double figures now ) We do not have strong dominant CB's. Dunk has lost his focus and is running around like a headless chicken. White and Webster...
And Biden has no skeletons in his cupboard?
My God, if you are relieved to get rid of Trump, just wait until the press get their teeth into this rather dim, rather dreary, rather tainted, rather corrupt politician. Its going to come pouring out of the woodwork in bucketloads. He won't last long...
Millions of tonnes of chlorinated chicken has found its way into this country, from other parts of the world, for years and intensive farming methods have been overlooked in the EU for years and yet this non-story is still doing the rounds, perpetuated by people who don't bother to do their...
Webster lacks positional sense. Not great for a top division CB. He may look decent carrying the ball out of defence but his actual defending is woeful at times. The other three are better players.
Its an experiment that we all tolerated but clearly has had its time. Talking up BDB as if he is some talented wing back setting up chance after chance is ludicrous. The man is first and foremost a CB. Not really a LB, except in emergencies. Slow turning circle. Regularly exposed at LB.
We seem to be getting it right, moving the ball very smoothly from defence and midfield and looking dangerous approaching the opposition box. Our play in the final third leaves a lot to be desired. We overplay time and time again. One touch too many. Our crossing is dire and our set pieces just...
Out of the frying pan and into the fire. This man has so much baggage in his life, that has been swept under the carpet, that the press are going to have a field day. The real fun will begin if Kamala Harris takes over. Bumpy times ahead.
" We have had some good performances this season "......answer = one....Newcastle away. Chelsea and United were very ordinary and our play was nowhere near tight enough to see out a result. We were well beaten at Everton and were ordinary ourselves. We overplayed time and time again at Palace...
...." with a bit more luck "....is complete and utter bullshit. It was poor finishing. Maupay is struggling and Solly couldn't hit a barn door at three paces. These two, in particular, have missed too many clear chances already this season to warrant another start v Tottenham.
When all is said and done if we had put our first half chances away, we would have got away with that second half display. We squander all our good approach play by certain players continually overplaying. Trossard is flattering to deceive most of the time, Solly doesn't have a killer ball in...
A true legend of broadcasting. He seemed very happily married and I seem to remember his wife ( Nesta? ) joining him on the Holiday Show. Thats why the indiscretions that blighted his later career seemed so out of place. Cocaine, sado-masochism, prostitutes etc. He may have survived one...
Same here.
I usually try and stream via HESGOAL and start with UK commentary. Every time it freezes and comes back, it reverts to Dutch commentary and so on and so on. Tonight I will do the same but with Radio Sussex on as well to pre-warn of forthcoming triumphs or disasters. The lag gives you...
