I wonder if Prem teams will become like the NFL in having defensive and offensive coaches, I think our problems mainly lie in attacking so its something to look into maybe. I noticed recently Aston Villa have a set piece coach shouting his head off on the sidelines alongside Dean Smith. I realise t...

Or is it simply they in relative comparison to this division and the league below our owners are one of the poorest? Dunno, I've never seen their financials, neither have you, so you're making an assumption to suit your agenda and that's why you're excited by the Newcastle takeover because it clear...

No that’s fairs, however it’s merely down to the fact that no one bats an eye lid at the other owners with precarious backgrounds. Man City’s owners are hailed as some of the best in football for everything they do for the community. Yet they come from just as shady backgrounds. Just shows that Man...

Are you worried them owning Newcastle football club is going to bring there culture to the north east? I really don’t understand this view at all.

Could be interesting. If they replace Bruce and spend big in the transfer window then they need to get it right first time, because it has the potential to go wrong having such a big upheaval.

Anyway, let's get back on topic. Brentford have a very good scouting system and they do their homework very well. More importantly they were very much a buy to sell for lots of profit club and that enabled them to stay in the championship. Will they be able to do the same in the PL? That remains to ...

Brilliant manager who struck fear into officials and opponents the majority of the time.

Another assumption are we assuming that’s a continuing trend with every managers contract onwards again assuming that the article is true, exactly my point lots of assumptions but nothing is 100% factually true.

Still a strong line up for us.

I see Norwich are playing a 5-3-2 / 3-5-2 formation so our midfield and defence will need to be on form today.

Defour was defensive. Played very deep and ran the midfield. A fair comparison to what winks does.

Winks does the same as Brownhill, gets the ball and passes it to someone more creative.
More often than not he passes it sideways, or very short distances.

Winks doesn't sit there pulling strings

Gallagher isn't anything like Defour. You should watch some more football.

He has a more attacking/forward thinking style like Defour though was my point.
Winks is more defensive and less likely to sit there pulling the strings like Defour did.

To be fair I don’t think anyone has suggested that? I see him as more of a Defour type. Passes the ball around well and helps us create more by increasing the tempo of the passing. Defour was exceptional because of the speed in which he passed and the fact he rarely got less than 80-85% pass comple...

I think he’s plateaued out. Promising 2-3 years ago but has not made any improvement. Absolutely nailed on for Palace or Villa you’d think.

Winks is a completely different calibre of player. Someone that can get the ball and spray it about.

His stats aren't much better, aside from him playing double the amount of games and making an allowance for that I don't think he's the player you claim he is.

Here come the usual suspects who can't seem to understand when some fans have concerns about a player and then proceed to spend the next couple of years taking our concerns out of context in an attempt to belittle/bash us.
