It was the 52nd minute VDV scored in...I believe it all ties into the system.
We need to control the game better up top like I say. If we are not taking those chances we have set the structure for the match. Tippy tappy around the box with no penetration.
Kill these games early and we dictate the game better imo. Including defensive structure.
The best example that comes to mind is Luton away last season. Richi missed two good chances in the first 15 mins, then we scrambled for a late winner.
Those early chances go in then we set up better defensively for the remainder of the match. Bringing them out more and giving us more chances on the break.
Oh, and of course the set pieces were an embarrassment last season. Hope we have worked on that.
But, you're right overall, too many of our wins were tight nervy affairs which could/should have been much more comfortable.
Instead of being able to ease off and reserve some energy we were having to go balls out for the full ~100 minutes every week. Which might explain why we looked so knackered in the run in despite no Europe and early cup exits.
Yeah of course.
I was hoping we would get a decent no.6 but I'm guessing Archie Gray is that now (Not saying he isn't decent).
Just a better protection in front of the back 4.
I would like us to play with a 3 man midfield away more often.
Perhaps.
Bisoumma/Maddison - Sarr/Bentancur/Bergvall
Gray/Skipp
With inverted full-backs, it would make a stronger midfield and defense.
I really like Kulu but I think he won’t ever reach his peak playing in England. Too slow unfortunately
we always play with a 3 man midfield
True. It’s a wet loan or nothing. Dry loans can get in the sea…so they er become wet.

Looks like both of them still want Doue, shame.
Because if it turns sour we’re fucked. We don’t have excess 80m punts if that goes wrong …. It would set us back disproportionately to clubs that can afford an 80m miss
We’ve been able to financially absorb lo Celso and ndombele but unable pitch-wise to kick on
Getting a big purchase wrong matters and the reasons are obvious
Agree.
No more 'options'. It's 'obligations' or get fucked.
Cheeky cunts.
Villa had a FFP deadline, same as Chelsea - hence why they've been active and hence why they both did the majority of their transfers pre June 30th.
Utd have signed Zirkzee and they've ridiculously overpaid for Yoro, anyone can do that - we could have put down £70m for Eze if we wanted to but we're not a stupid club unlike Utd, guess it would have appeased the fans though.
Bringing up false equivalences is pointless and ignoring evidence compared to other clubs who normally go into the market with an idea of how they attack the market and ensure their purchases are hits is equally as pointless - if those clubs aren't doing business it just tells you that there's no movement on the market.
I've seen so many people use Liverpool as the benchmark of smart recruitment and signings every Summer yet here are the same people now not using Liverpool as a benchmark when it suits the argument and they have Michael Edwards in charge of recruitment over there by the way.
We pay 60m for a striker that doesn't work out and we aren't fucked...
But if we pay 80m for a striker and it doesn't work out and we are?
Makes no sense to me but then again I see it that we are fucked even if we spend 10m on a striker and it doesn't work out because I am only interested in winning.
Whatever it costs, if the striker we sign isn't good enough then we won't win and that means we are fucked regardless. I don't care what the striker costs we have to sign a really fucking good one.
I meant more with a 6 behind Bissouma and Sarr rather than Maddison in front.
A lot of lineups looked like a 4231 on paper with Maddison as the focal point of the midfield 3.
For away days.
They can fuck off with the OPTION I agree. Especially if we have Girona on the line interested as well.

Let me know when you're interested in debating as opposed to using gifs and bait to troll which is pretty much all you're good for, until then I won't hold my breath.
There are still many issues that need to be clarified, especially PSG/Bayern both need to move their players before buying someone at this time. Rennes is no hurry to sit down for negotiations, so everything is probably not over yet
But if Rennes are in no rush and the player is also keen to wait and see if PSG or Bayern come on line, then we need to move on and get our business done so Doue probably isn't happening. Ange has said repeatedly that he wants players who understand the challenge of winning at this club and want to be here.
That type of player would be ready to commit without waiting for PSG.

And yet some in here don't see why eze would be beneficial even at 60 million
The issue with Eze is that he will play in Maddison's role. While it'd be good to have someone rotate with Maddison, for 60 million you'd expect us to strengthen our very imperfect starting XI.And yet some in here don't see why eze would be beneficial even at 60 million
