You never mentioned the upturn in form. You said "it's become pretty obvious had Muric played all season we wouldn't even be close to the relegation zone we'd already be safe". Two very different statements.

And there's no way of knowing if that is fact, obviously.

15 different goalscorers. Not bad.

boatshed bill

A great opportunity for some neanderthal pillocks to cause trouble.

Muric does help that partnership though - for a start they don't have to receive the ball 5-10 yards from the goalkeeper for most of the game and know that anything in the 6 yard box Muric is going to come for. Just look at the positions that our defenders take up in possession since the swap - it'...

I'm not sure the wide players should be thought of as wingers (chance providers), more as finishers.
Assignon and Taylor are more likely to provide crosses.

It's not obvious at all. Saying itvso many times doesn't make it true.

Muric's inclusion has certainly coincided with an improvement in results but let's not underestimate the improvement throughout the team, particularly the development of the defensive partnership of O'Shea and Esteve.

boatshed bill

It's true that Sheff Utd could have been 2 or 3-0 up at half time, but that would have meant them scoring all of their chances and us missing all of ours. That's not how football works. The McBurnie chance that Muric saved with his feet really should have been scored, but I don't think any of their...

Yes, they may well have been robbed. But all they should expect is an apology, just like we got.

I'm sure there'll be plenty on here delighted if VK was to leave.
No more head-scratching selections, baffling substitutions, clueless tactics.

Have you ever played football? Has somebody ever kicked your studs at it hurt you? The only person hurt in that situation is the person who performed the kick, Ramsey didn't even flinch which means minimal contact with the sole of the villas players foot yet he went over like he'd been shot and in ...

He is very well thought of at Coventry.

I'd put JBL on the right and play Luca on the left. Hard to find an argument for other wingers ahead of them when fit and in form.

A definite option.

I think he'd be replacing Vitinho on the wing when he's back fit. Exciting indeed.

If he gets to match fit i'd say he'd replace JBL.

boatshed bill

I would absolutely love it if we could sign Assignon,. regardless of releation.

boatshed bill

A couple of days ago there was some Blades fan on TS saying that they were better than us last season and still are.
That's got to define delusion

boatshed bill

Jesus. It just offers us something different. We need different profiles of player for different moments in a season and with Jay Rod probably on the way out there is room for a Mcburnie type in the squad. Why do people have to have such extreme reactions "people" know that he is nothing like what ...

The sad thing is that it has thrown itself on the floor. Of course, it is fine for people that don't go to games but just watch it on TV or stream it etc. I still enjoy going to watch lower league and non-league, but really can't be arsed with the rest.

With Beyer and Al Dakhil VK said they wouldn't feature, just complete their recovery for next season.

No point in reverting back to Trafford now.

I've been taking them for years.
Don't know how much good they are but I'm almost scared to stop in case they are working, even if not particularly well.
Exercise is still the best thing to counter the effects of ageing, IMO.

boatshed bill

Similar in a way to Vydra. Scored loads from midfield for Derby.

I could do with 2 knees one hip and a hernia, if anyone's got any spare cash let me know.

I like Wilson. I'll never understand why Kompany wasted weeks playing as a number 10, when without Kolo he's our main threat out wide.

At a guess, because we could cover the left wing with JBL and WO has the ability to find shooting opportunities around the box.
Whether it's worked or not??

boatshed bill

I would say our defence isn’t world class, but we still have some elite players in that back line. Stones, Walker (world class in my opinion). Then Maguire, Chillwell, Shaw, Guehi, Lewis, Tomori are all top players. Depending on how we set up we could blow opposition teams away this summer. Maybe s...

And the Luton game is but one example. Presumably at a time when we he was awaiting a hernia op. Twice this season we've been away at top sides, had a man sent off early, and then shown won the rest of the game. Twice Foster has been lone striker in those games. That doesn't happen if he's not tryi...

He's recovering from a hernia. Before he had a hernia I heard various criticisms of Foster, but amongst them was not a lack of fitness or effort. On the contrary he stood out in the Luton game for his workrate. I'm not sure its wise to default to an assumption that any player lacks basic profession...

The reason he uses that technique is for the tactical advantage. If it was seen as a technical flaw he'd have had it coached out of him years ago

The point is that he failed because his technique (performance) wasn't good enough for the technique (tactical).
If you get my drift

Why do people dislike him so much? I wouldn’t say he’s particularly ‘not nice’.

No, I don't get that,
Unless it's all down to him being considered better than Nick Pope?

He only had fitness issues because he barely featured for Swansea after being denied a move to us in the summer.

So did we sign him with fitness issues or not?
Did we sign him for a reported £12million or not?

boatshed bill

This has led me to rewatching a few times (aware I'm overanalysing this now). The moment Berge receives the ball their strikers are miles away, he then dallies for an absolute age and one striker comes towards him and one goes closer to Muric anticipating the pass back to him. They are on the edge ...

Crikey. I didn't realise it was that much. I had £9m in my head but it was a while ago so could be wrong. I dread to think how much money we'd have lost on him had we paid around those figures. We were never going to pay that. We loaned him, I believe, knowing he had fitness issues. Sounds like he'...

I'm just glad we didn't sign him in August 2022 when I dread to think how much more money would have been chucked down the pan.

But we didn't, so your dread is wasted.

boatshed bill

I don't think I am. The quotes from both Mcguiness and Cathro both imply the use of studs as the first touch to give then a slight advantage in being able to play both ways. As soon as you take a touch with the sidefoot it attracts the press from one side, it's a trigger for the press and you then ...

It was a shock to receive the message this afternoon Woking - I thought he was steadily showing some improvement. It's not good is it? I'm told his daughter has been asked to go down to Swansea.

Let's just hope things improve for him.

Totally agree with you, CT.
Very sad news.

For what it’s worth Pope or Heaton are country miles ahead of both our keepers. Our drop off from them is comparable to Ferguson to Moyes.

Agreed. Except you should have said "were"

I guess I'm in the minority, but I just don't rate O'Shea.
Yes, 100% effort, but positioning and decision making aren't good enough. We'd sell him at a loss.

Said this before, but Everton, despite their position, have the 4th best defensive record. Not a coincidence that their manager SD makes them not mess about at the back, but just hit it long to the likes of Calvert Lewin.
