well there goes our only plan b

i get the idea of what we are trying to do. but if we're facing 10 men behind the ball we either need an aerial target to cross to or central midfielders who are competent finishers who can get on the end of cutbacks. we have neither, currently

tonight had that feel about it, didn't it? hit us with a low block and we simply have no answer

this is really poor. they've got something to defend and once again we're totally struggling to offer anything meaningful in terms of presence in the penalty area. a top class striker has been the difference here tonight between us and them, however you want to paint it

will be voting tactically based on whoever is best placed to defeat the tories where I live

no. though I think it is testament to him and what else he offers that he hasn't scored and yet people are mostly still eager to see him start. when he's running channels, chasing stuff down and stretching defences to create space for midfielders then there's nobody better. but when the...

well the tactics twitter accounts are already analysing the way we play under RDZ. 1579418400094584833 as I said last week, some obviously similarities with potter, but this thread shows excellently how we want to use the central zone to attack the opposition. also shows how good we are when...

damn. that's absolutely awful. not least because you could see he was a very talented player. I hope if he does want to remain involved in football in some way then the club can make it happen EDIT: just read his statement and he does so I hope that's here with us. but as others have said, main...

I understand the lallana one, actually. our passing in buildup was nowhere near good enough last night, didn't move the ball nearly quickly or accurately enough. think lallana is one of our best passers, so bringing him on to induce a bit of calm in the buildup made sense. completely agree re...

yep would certainly like to see one of undav or ferguson get some significant game time against arsenal in the cup. or both maybe?

tbh there'll be a lot of top six teams who lose by the odd goal to others around them. even city lost to this spurs side once or twice

not here to slag off someone who didn't play today, but it is a bit concerning that we were chasing a goal for most of the match and still the only other striker we have didn't come on. is he THAT ill suited to the way RDZ wants to play?

yep certainly hope he doesn't come in for any of our guys, but we have to recognise that if we continue on this path we're on re youth development then at a certain point, maybe not too far away, then the panacea of youth talent in the PL will eventually be us

yes but the post you quoted merely mentioned 'a budget', not £50M, which came from elsewhere. there's a fairly large middle ground between abandoning the strategy and signing players a la nottingham forest and only signing young prospects and not having a budget for the first team

yep, as much as he's become know for managing on a budget, I highly doubt you get one of the most promising young mangers in europe unless you tell him that there'll be a couple of quid to spend

a lot of similarities but also some differences. our lines were a lot more concrete yesterday, less of the positional staggering that we saw under potter. also kept the ball longer, to draw their press out, which we didn't do as much, at United for example, where our attack was more built around...

has always been the case that he needs to be adding end product to his game and then he'll be top class. that was there today. beautiful cross, for example, which welbeck should've put away

and looking chaotic and like a headless chicken is the criteria to be a good keeper?

think we deserved that, and given I was expecting a thrashing today, overall very happy

for someone with such a good high-claim record it is surprising how much of a liability sanchez is from corners sometimes
