Hmmm something of a difference in quality between the two . . . in my opinion anyway.

Adingra looks much more effective on the left, and mitoma looks average when tired at the end of a season
Couldn't agree more - but managers (ours anyway) seem adamant that they won't do it. I'm sure I can remember both Hughton and Potter (and probably RDZ was too) being asked about this, and insisting it was more advantageous to have all ten outfield crowded round the penalty area. I know they know for more about football than I do - but honestly, I still can't see it myself.
Our fastest player, poised on the centre circle for when one of the defenders, realising the six yard area is far to crowded to.....err.... fanny around in, scrambles the ball free and whacks it upfield, could be worth four or five goals a season, I reckon!

I’m sure the opposition to this is someone like Mourinho, who regularly left 2-3 players up the pitch because he believed that it meant the opposition had to leave at least one more back. This left his own box less crowded and meant his defenders could attack the ball more easily.
Then again he always built sides of giants…
Agree. In the good old Goldstone days I swear that most teams (including ours) left one or even two players on the half way line when defending a corner. It was always exciting when it got hoofed out and the chase was on.
I know it could make a grown man cry , i like Yasin but i thought Facu was further along than him and i know i am beating FH with that word "process" but it is the very firm and inflexible structure involved within that word that worries me so much .
Bowen against Wolves at home and Bournemouth away was outstanding , and a poor West Ham took 4 points so with the pace we have it must be worth a try

Wonder how flexible this process is as someone posted earlier.
Keep thinking about that Ali Mc interview how RDZ made you feel 10ft tall. Not everyone becomes a poor player over summer.

Shame we couldn't have sorted this, can't see him getting any minutes now Solly is back.
Depends on the injury to Mitoma, if (big if) his season is over I imagine he will be the first choice replacement given we appear to be managing Solly’s minutes

In the case of Alex Dawson it was more down to the fags and beer meaning he had only to chase down half the pitch.
It’s a part of the detailed tactical battle these days depending on opposition. Against Arsenal for example, we nullified their set piece threat by leaving 3 up meaning they had to at least match us or even leave 4 back

Has done nothing with his chances this season. Still looks lightweight. Good player but I think he’s in the wrong league.

A little harsh, he started the season really well. He’d have every right to feel hard done by for being dropped back then. Agreed he’s not done enough lately though.
Sadly I think he’s falling victim to our never-ending pursuit for progress. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the swap for Watson be floated again in the summer if they come up. They get a Prem ready winger with experience. We get a shiny new toy.
