Kovac has Monaco up and running now. Could've gone with him since he tonked us 7-2 at home when we sacked Poch, but were too scared of appointing him since he "only" won the League with Bayern the year before.

Neil Lennon's banter army. What a show.Ross County hold on to beat Celtic. That was a fun watch.
Yeah its turning in to a strange team to coach. Much better players than your domestic rivals so its hard to get the players to be fully at it every week. Then you have a massive jump in standards for the CL games. So a hard balancing act & a very different challenge than most managerial jobs.
This isn’t working for them. Not enough creativity and dynamism from Herrera and Gana Gueye. Get them off and replace them with any two of Rafinha, Draxler or Verratti . Also a problem Mbappe hasn’t shown up. Maybe the hype train is weighing him down
Yeah neymar seems like one big distraction. Talented player but is he worth all that comes with it. Seems to be injured a lot too. Yes, there recruitment seems a bit random to me. Rather than a specific plan & type of player to add to the teams style of play.Not to mention the circus that is having Neymar in your midst (and senior management that give him more power than the head coach).
And then there’s the dogs dinner that Leonardo had made of general recruitment.
The formation was fluid, as is generally the way.
The guy is flawed, sure, but he is a good man. I am not bitter towards him. In fact, I wish him well. Gave me the best days of my Spurs-supporting life.
I think Kovac has bested Poch whenever they have faced off. Granted I think it is only the two times.Impressive by Monaco. They are playing on the edge in terms of pressing and tackling but it is working beautifully at the moment.

PSG looked like they had their eyes on the Barca replay but you cannot take anything away from this Monaco side. They executed their game to perfection.
Ive watched 30mins, I’m going to watch the rest later. I would have started Veratti and Draxler too, I would have started Draxler instead of Kean on Tuesday- I know he scored a set piece but I thought Kean offered fuck all apart from that.
Rumour has it Everton have slapped an asking price of £70m on Kean.Not a good game from him today (just like the rest of the players) but I do see some raw skill from Kean and he seems more mature than he ever was at Juve and Everton. Kind of a shame Monaco scored on their first attack I would have liked to see them play a bit more. They totally caught PSG by surprise by pushing both WBs high and outnumbering them. Well we got a strong solid defensive game from Monaco.
I saw 80 mil. He has been good for them no doubt but it is a bit much.Rumour has it Everton have slapped an asking price of £70m on Kean.
It does seem a bit steep, but having seen a bit of him lately, I think he he has some very interesting raw ingredients, almost like a slightly smaller Lukaku.I saw 80 mil. He has been good for them no doubt but it is a bit much.

Maybe they would accept £45m-£50m.Haha, that's ridiculous. 25-30 tops

If Kane and Son were to push for the exit, what kind of price tags would you put on them? Got a feeling there is a touch of the Daniel Levys about you, my Viking friend.I'd look elsewhere then

It is definitely steep for a player that is a fringe player at Everton and more or less a backup at PSG. I still think that price tags like that should be for nailed on starters.It does seem a bit steep, but having seen a bit of him lately, I think he he has some very interesting raw ingredients, almost like a slightly smaller Lukaku.
