A royal dier show
We pushed forward throughout. But that then leaves the defence to actually defend, and they can't think we now know why Conte sets up as he does. Back 4 is a must with these players. All it took was long balls. It was so easy.This club is going to kill me one day.
Let's not kid ourselves, most of that was pretty poor. When we got our second equaliser I thought we'd push on but to my horror Leeds were the only team pushing forward and it wasn't a surprise when they went ahead again.
But great heart and desire by the team to somehow win in the end. Can't fault that certainly.
Build a team around Bentancur and Deki and we can go places. Clear out some if the obvious deadwood and move on. This is the fork in the road. What do you say Levy, Parataci and Antonio?
That was me at half time !
That's right. We need a winning score so take off Richie for Bissouma.
World class manager?
Bloke's a clown.
IMO it's realistic to get De Vrij and Pedro Porro in Jan. They wouldn't even have to be very good to seriously elevate our team.If we can match the quality of players that we signed last January ( Deki and Bentancur ) in this January window , we will definitely be going places . To sort out that defence and get a quality RWB are an absolute must . To be heading into the WC break in at least 4th place with what Conte has available is quite extraordinary . Todays win was massive . COYS
De Vrij would get eaten alive here. He's been out of form since last season.IMO it's realistic to get De Vrij and Pedro Porro in Jan. They wouldn't even have to be very good to seriously elevate our team.
Both should be fairly cheap, and then in the summer we can go again if they fail to live up to expectations.
Brazil have picked Fred so they're a man down in the squad before they start. Bizarre choice.Ramsdale should be the England choice. Not amazing either but good with his feet + at least having a solid season.
And yeah, agreed. France have the best squad but think Brazil or Argentina's team spirit + great squads of their own win over .. and I also expect Uruguay to be the dark horse.
Do the climate protesters come out at weekends, maybe?They can fuck off back to yorksher now leeds fans. Hope M1 is shut.
Ever since he got engaged.....Disagree with this to an extent.
Dier had a very strong start to the year, to the point where he genuinely looked excellent in the CCB role.
Over the past month though he's fallen apart, and it's not helped he's been playing RCB lately given Romero's absence.
He went from very good to very poor quite quickly. It all changed the moment he had his first individual fuckup against Frankfurt at home.
Do tell!
