Foster and Fofana not having great games. But it's good to see the front three changing position here and there.

Here he is, plus Jimmy Anderson & Harry Kane are Arsenal fans yeah?

They are? That's good to know. I know Rodriguez is a United fan.

Muric Vitinho — Ekdal — Esteve — Taylor JBG — Cullen — Berge — Larsen Odobert — Foster Brighton carry a big threat down their left with their LB Estupinan who sees a lot of the ball and combines well with one of their wingers. For that reason I’d play JBG in front of Vitinho to help defend that fla...

The current system doesn't seem to help so if they use the money gained in the same way they do in the MLS then I can see it having a positive impact.
It would mean more money could go into the lower leagues and would bring something good from the ridiculous money rich owners put into teams.

I don't see why they can't involve players like they have driver stewards in F1. A lot of the time these stewards are ex C or B rated drivers with no real affiliation. Not that it really matters because they are there for perspective rather than making the decisions. Just having someone who isn't in...

superdimitri

The thing I'm worried about most is the fact I'm 99% sure we'll keep Trafford which means Muric will probably want out.
We're not going to keep Trafford and keep playing Muric.
I'd like to see us offload Trafford but it's not going to happen.

superdimitri

I think people are referring to Eliot Tybebo, who is the coach that appears from the dugout when we are attacking or defending a set piece. Of course, we don't know what their exact roles and responsibilities are so it's completely unfounded to suggest that these people aren't doing their jobs to t...

He's pretty well known. A performance analyst who seems interested in set piece routines. For us he's a performance analyst and set piece coach. https://thepfsa.co.uk/richard-bredice-best-and-worst/ You can see what he was trying to do. The players just failed to execute them well. If one came off w...

It was about as close to Nori when he fell over as O'Shea was, I can see why they were concerned.

superdimitri

Foster needs to play centrally. He's not creative or good enough at dribbling to play out wide.
I don't really understand some of Kompany's decisions. I think if we switched Odobert and Foster we would have been s lot stronger.

superdimitri

Not good enough but once again a decision costs us. Last ref was carding everyone and made poor decisions. This ref let everything go so Wolves players were able to slow down play whenever they wanted. It felt like they were refereeing the game. But too many bad performances. Foster should have play...

superdimitri

Why do we get the tough game?
Forest winning 3-1 against Fullham.
Everton scoring a penalty.

superdimitri

Their player was offside as the pass was made. A corner to them could have led to another goal.

superdimitri

They're good at rolling around after they are the ones committing the foul. Good tactic to make it look like you're not in the wrong.

superdimitri

Sums up our season right there. They get a free kick for falling over and score. O'Shea didn't touch him.

superdimitri

Seems Kompany has finally put Amdouni down in the pecking order. Which he deserves until he starts to play better.
Great stuff.

superdimitri

There was a rumour doing the rounds before Brentford game that Beyer had been back in Germany to cool down after a falling out with kompany, Beyer feels he was rushed back to play before he was ready I doubt that if true it did leave to anything like a fall out, but this would not surprise me at al...

superdimitri

As much as I disagree with Assignons two yellows and the penalty I do think it's to be expected in this league. He's just too naive. You just can't put give your opponent any reason to buy a foul and you certainly can't barge into someone that way the box because you know they'll make the most of it.

superdimitri

Weghorst plays similar to how Crouch did. Strength not with heading but with close control. Deceivingly tall, a bit like Glen Little too.

superdimitri

England but it's incongruous seeing players I dislike for several reasons playing for England like Grealish and now Gordon.

No, I dont think actors are allowed haircuts between roles. That's why Gary Oldman has had this in every role he's ever played

Very funny, actually sometimes they don't get haircuts!

I grew into The Pacific and I'm growing into this more.
Does make you wonder how far they can take this kind of thing. I would love to see it become a repeat thing for all the remarkable stories in the war. Including Naval ones.

I hope he gets a haircut, just doesn't really suit Bond to have longer hair like that IMO.
Reminds me of Matthew McConaughey

superdimitri

I was sitting watching them review the offside laughing to myself hysterically. It was like they were trying everything they could to get our player offside so they didn't have to revert the refs decision on the penalty. If it was a closer call, no doubt it would have been given offside, even if one...

superdimitri

You’re probably right in that he couldn’t play the way he wanted with our squad. I would hazard a guess though that he’d have realised that after a couple of games and tried something else. Maybe, but there's a big trend with all the best managers to stick to the way they want to play, to keep thei...

superdimitri

One thing we have generally improved is knowing a bit better when to kick it out of play rather than play a risky pass. It's been good to see players playing the ball out of play or long balls rather than encouraging the opposition more. We can save the Man City play out the back at all costs style ...

superdimitri

A few of his haters really are starting to clutch at straws when criticizing him now. His move to midfield and performances since have been fantastic. He prevented what would have been a certain goal and his phenomenal work rate, pace and tackle raised everyone in the stadium, team and crowd to go o...

superdimitri

Wait, so it's not offside anymore if there's a deflection? Mbeumo was wayyy offside.

superdimitri

They shouldn't be allowed an extra sub. Clearly their player didn't have a concussion.

superdimitri

Fofana doing what he can to give them a penalty.

superdimitri

Kompany talking with our fitness coach. Eyeing up the first sub maybe?

superdimitri

When you're a man up your creative players need to step up. Odobert needs to show for the ball more and we need to pick him out better. Bruun-Larsen has been good but he's been a bit too predictable. Fofana must have forgotten his lucky boots. Gets in the positions but then fluffs it. A game crying ...

superdimitri

I would love to see him put on our shirt for one or two games and show how it's done.

superdimitri

I don’t really get why we’ve brought in Esteve when we have Al-Dakhil. I’ve seen nothing of Esteve to make me think he is an upgrade. The ceiling for both is similar and let’s not forget Al-Dakhil was getting called up to the Belgian side. Al-Dakhil was a victim of our very open back line, and then...

superdimitri

who are are worse outfit than they were last season in the Champ That doesn't make much sense. Like the posts on here stating we are worse now than last season. You would need both teams to play with each squad in each league to know. I think you underestimate the gap in quality between leagues. Be...

superdimitri

I mean you kinda did by referring to their 'brand' of football which is attempting to categorise them a bit - I certainly think they play a better brand than often given credit for - If you're asserting that playing a more 'progressive' / 'expansive' style is harder to recruit for then I'd somewhat...

superdimitri

No I think you're missing the point by lumping Luton in with some sort of dinosaur long ball side which couldn't be further from the truth - who had 62% of the ball when we played at Turf Moor?... Your second point is textbook conjecture - of course they'd get relegated again, sides like Leeds/West...

superdimitri

Those pointing out Lutons relative success are missing the point I made in the OP. Playing the brand of football they do it is easier to have more success with a lower pedigree of players. It's a lot harder to recruit players who have grit, determination and endeavor who also are strong technically....

superdimitri

Admittedly we've been very poor but I do think if we were to replay each game results would be different and we have also been very unlucky, especially if you consider the inconsistencies of some decisions together with injuries. I think Kompany gets criticism for not changing enough, but all good m...

I'm sure I watched them on video, 4 split screens, not so long ago. Actually I wonder if that was on Twitter ?!

Oh you're talking about the live episodes they did. They streamed one or two live on YouTube but they were available after to watch too. Completely forgot about those.

We'll start winning when we know for sure we are down. Then the pressure will be off and we can play without fear again. We should be aiming to finish as high as we can anyway to get more money. I don't think Kompany will know for sure who is going to start and go until the summer. The fact is we wi...

superdimitri

The only complaint I have is the episode timing. I often end up missing the preview shows since they don't tend to be up until the night before the game.

superdimitri

His first touch was sublime. Never panicked and even made some great turns and runs into space.
Took his chance to play well.

Haven't watched it back yet. But O'shea had just nearly vaulted the hoarding into the seats. Who gave the throw taker the ball so quick? When O'shea was still off the field?

They have secondary balls sitting on cones. Players just grab them as soon as they like.

superdimitri

For me bad performers today have to be Fofana, OShea and Assignon.
Amdouni had no impact as usual.

Positives were Berge and Cullen playing well and Vitinho too.

I'm glad Fofana is only on loan.

superdimitri

Just not good enough. Trailing to a very poor side who were just waiting for our desperation to get big enough to gift them a goal.
Can't blame the effort of most players but some just can't be assed and some look like they wouldn't be out of place in a league 2 side.
