In March we played Newcastle with a line up of Sanchez, White, Dunk, Veltman, Gross, Bissouma, Lallana, Moder, Trossard, Maupay, Welbeck. We looked comfortable playing with just 3 defenders and a midfield that were willing to play their part in supporting both defence and attack.
Burnley will...
A fabulous player to have in the squad but unlikely to be first choice when everyone is fit. We have plenty of options early on so should be able to deal with his absence easier than Wellbeck's. Hopefully back after the international break
Tau was always likely to only be a squad player and as such would be allowed to leave if a suitable offer was made. Similar to Bernardo, Propper & Jahanbakash all could have stayed and played a small part but reducing the squad size was out aim this summer
Our tactic is to find market value. To put that into FIFA terms we are looking at players in the low 70's who we believe will become players in the high 80's but trying to convince the selling club that they are only going to be a 75 and offering the player a wage in the low 70's. There is no...
Losing Aguero is going to be difficult to cope with, if they can get the best out of Jesus they could walk it otherwise it could be a 4 horse race. Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd & Chelsea all have a decent 11 or even 15 but injuries and stubborn tactics from the opposition could scupper some of...
I don't think you realise the huge amount of money made each season by people purchasing tickets via touts. The club wish to sell the tickets to their fans and ensure that individuals are not lining their own pockets with matchday tickets. Equally a requirement from the Goverment on the FA and...
I believe he has spent most of his career playing on the left of a pair but that is also Dunk's favoured side. He switched to LCB so Dunk could be the centre of the three which was a really good balance of skill set and ability between the three
The referee should run the game and only use VAR when he or the assistant referees have doubt in their decisions. All goals should be checked for offsides and hand balls and then bookings and bans should be awarded retrospectively after a match for challenges that go unnoticed by the officials
This has Potter written all over it, rigidity in defence and fluidity in attack. I hope we deploy this against the weaker sides who we struggled to break down last season
We might sign a new striker but if we do he needs to be better than England International Wellbeck, La Liga regular Andone & a 25 goals in a season scorer from the Championship in Maupay.
Some consistency and the opportunity to develop working relationships on the pitch could see us break into...
We bought a 3 bed house in 2014 and installed a combi. in 2020 we extended to a 5 bedroom with a family bathroom/ensuite in the master and a wetroom containing shower, toilet and washing machine on ground floor. Never had any issue with the boiler
I would want to be on site for as much as possible, it is amazing what you could live through during such a project. Running water, a comfy bed and the ability to use an oven should be manageable for a few weeks. There will not be many projects that impact the use of the existing property for...
Most of the top sides have moved to a 4-2-3-1 formation to allow the fullbacks to be full of pace and involved in a team attack. Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd and England all played this way.
The 2 of Bissouma and Moder are intended to hold up the opposition to allow the 3 to get back and...
I'm certain that our transfer strategy for any player £10m+ will be that they offer a better option than we currently have available. There is no point in signing another striker to compete with Maupay, Connolly, Andone, Zeqiri. We will either bring in a player of greater quality or stick with...
