Dunno who said he can’t defend but in the 2nd half he tracked back and won the ball as davies had gone missing.

Think they all to a degree having been playing that way for 4 years. As I said in an earlier post the players need to work out how to pass and move in tight situations. I like what udegio dies he passes then runs forward. I don’t like Emerson being almost in CM. He needs to offer an outlet on the right otherwise kulu is easily nullified due to lack of pace. May be play porro ahead of Emerson if kulu is not doing it.
Son was never a smooth player in tight spaces, has always had that heavy touch in him.

Kulu and Madders seemed to link well in congested areas.
 
Will be a like new signing never having to see that fraudulent, inconsistent bottle job all season

Strangled us for three seasons, do one
Were you even watching today?

He had a fine game.

You are beyond mental with this bloke.

He might well leave us, fine, he goes with our blessing (apart from yours). I hope he has a great career at his next club (unless they play us of course).

Never mind, I see you have lined Skipp and Richi as the next to leave on your pathetic hate rank.

You've mentioned that you go to games. I'm betting my village's annual budget that you don't come up with this shit around your neighbours when we're playing.
 
Is Ali Gold paid or sponsored by the club in any way?

If so, the club is within its rights to ask him to stay positive about the club - If not, then agreed the club are making themselves look like twats ..

You're confusing journalism with spin-doctoring.

I've never bought into the paranoid idea that Gold is a paid Levy shill....... This further discredits such a suggestion.
 
Any positives, negatives, major takeaways from the game today? Aside from Kane scoring 4.
I'd say that everyone played pretty well against a Europa League team who are three games or so ahead of us and top of their league (with all the hell that's going on in their country of course).

The players that really impressed me - Maddison, Sarr, Udogie, Romero.

Son and Kulusevski looked like they were getting back to their best.

Emerson and Davies were decent in defence, especially the former. PEH had a fine if not spectacular game in central midfield. Vicario made a couple of good saves.

As subs, Solomon and Gio did well.

No one played badly.

Yep, that saves me from posting, that's spot on.
