Re: Kompany to Brighton?
I think we may have forgotten that Vincent's wife apparently wanted to return to the north-west. Brighton couldn't be further away. I am also convinced until it's proven otherwise that he wants to build/rebuild a VK dynasty here to prove that a name can succeed at a small club and then succeed at a ...

Re: Assignon & Esteve
Assignon does have a similar instinct to find an opportunity in another area of the pitch which VK's system allows, so Assignon and Maatsen are both likely to make a goalscoring play or assist where an 'old fashioned' full back might not. Trent also has this instinct, but does it in a more advanced ...

Doesn't matter where Maatsen lines up, he isn't a 'traditional' full back.

It probably needs a combination of those two ideas alon...

The Muric howler is no more or no less of a howler whatever the outcome of the game. The fact that we lost two points, just affects the anger levels on here.

Re: So do you drop Muric after two massive costly howlers?
England's No 1, Mr Pickford, made an epic fail last night of Muric proportions, yet for some reason it has hardly had a mention, certainly not on this thread. Yet another reminder that an error does not define a keeper, because all keepers make them.

Re: So do you drop Muric after two massive costly howlers?
Eye off the ball, lack of concentration, poor weather conditions, pass played between the posts all combined and a total misjudgement, nothing at all to do with technique. He could have employed the inside of the boot technique (not instep) and still misjudged it with the same result.

Re: So do you drop Muric after two massive costly howlers?
He was probably looking where to pass it to, seeing who was unmarked and took his eye off the ball for that split second like we do when checking the rear view mirror. It shouldn't happen but it did. He made a bad choice and we've all suffered the consequences but he'll be hurting the most.

People are so entrenched in their goalkeeper views, that until we have a clear number 1, with a more than competent number 2, that will continue.

A lot of points made, but the majority of them, clearly agenda based. Only two posts prior to this one have pointed out that a back pass to a keeper should never be between the posts.

If season ticket price increases in the prem were approx 25% for all teams then our price increase would be one of the smallest so maybe we should just compare our price rises with other clubs this season and next season. I don't think we would narrow the gap against other clubs in £'s.
