Re: Mixing it up a bit
Just we didn’t start pumping long balls last season when we made a slow start, there no chance VK is going to start “mixing it up” this season after 3 games. It’s not pumping long balls It’s playing measured balls over the high press or into space over the top to utilise our pace as Muric did for T...

But play a RB 2 CH’s & a LB seems to make more sense at this point

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
I actually don’t really want Mattsen
And I have a feeling that if he comes and a Premier League winger or ten sail past him, when he’s out of position, like he’s not really there, then
£31.5m if that’s true may seem just a little exorbitant.
There said it!
