Last season our difficulties came in beating those sides who are in a relegation battle. Having beaten both Burnley & Watford already we may have cracked that issue which could enable us to have a significantly better season than previously. Norwich, Watford, Newcastle, Burnley, Wolves...
The BBC posted an article talking about the importance of a good start for both ends of the table. The stat was that after 10 games the table seems to settle and is quite indicative of the final standings. Momentum can be vital in picking up points as the winter sets in
Friends of mine in a similar position were offered the opportunity to remain in the house rent free until their new house was ready (approximately 4 weeks) to enable the purchaser to get a discount on stamp duty at the end of June
We recalled Karbownik due to the injury to Lamptey. I would suggest he wasn't quite ready which is why he didn't get game time, however after a pre season he could be a lot closer to being ready. Moder has been managed superbly and really contributed to the first team since his loan was...
I disagree, the difference is what we do when the opposition are gaining momentum within the game. Last season our biggest issue was not making the most when we were on top, a 2 goal lead is very difficult to come back from and we need to turn some of those draws into wins
I am certain he will become an England regular in the near future. He has many desirable attributes and will grow into the Arsenal side over the coming weeks
I can understand why he chose to play 3 CB's against Burnley. They are very direct and physical and having an extra CB leaves much less chance of being beaten down the flanks. I can see him sticking to something similar Vs Watford. The big decision is who plays as WB's and how.do we engage them...
Duffy was loaned out last season which allowed White to get plenty of game time, he was our best CB today because he made the least errors however both Dunk and Webster were moved to accomodate him and ultimately I'd rather see Ostigard or Tsoungi given a place in the squad to aid their development
I would argue Chelsea have taken the advantage having just signed Lukaku, Chelsea's biggest weakness is at the back but their formation helps them keep a huge number of clean sheets. The biggest question for me is if Liverpool will make it into the top 4
This plan has been in place for a long time but we have had to invest in the squad more whilst waiting for the level of quality the academy can produce to be high enough to compete with the first team.
There could also be a lack of attacking expertise in the coaching set up to develop and...
Football is the most entertaining sport because it is such a low scoring affair with very few matches not finishing even or a single goal victory, because of this it is vital that we ensure we make minimal errors and have ways to deal with errors that do occur. The consistency of performances...
It is a different scenario for them to deal with especially after a public suggestion from TB that we would be aiming for top 10 this season. We look to be competitive across the park and have got plenty of decent results against decent footballing sides, if we learn to win ugly then we could...
