Especially decent ones that we bought Solanke for!

‘Getting crosses into the box’
Questionable
Especially decent ones that we bought Solanke for!
Woke up this morning still seething...
Three times in a fucking row they've dunked on us at our own ground, Even when we were utter shit in the Sugar years and they had the Invincibles we didn't let them do this.
If it was up to me they would have been sent out to run after the game and would still be running now. And that includes Ange and his coaching staff. Whoever is coaching corners would be collecting their P45's this morning.

In those first ten games last season there was a greater variety in the types of goals we were scoring too. Greater interplay between the front players and we were getting goals from everywhere, Romero bangers, Micky against Luton, Sonny hat-trick against Burnley, Madders from outside the box.
No we don't even have the ability to get in those positions because it's all shut down before we get to the 18 yard box.
Quite... Someone posted an Osimehn highlight reel here in response to this point last night; yet the vast majority of his goals in the vid game from crosses into a scantly populated box (i.e. born of quick decisive build up play) or him exploiting space (again; something we're not commonly creating).
.....Couple of nice 'drop, control then volleys' though.
.............But similarly there were some nice finishes in Doms highlight reel from last season too; similarly he was otherwise exploiting similar opportunities (crosses & space) too.
They were forced to pay almost all of his salary, he's on 300k + and Chelsea are paying well over 200 of that and they received no loan fee.
You need to be able to be patient and play chicken if needed to get these type of deals, Woolwich had essentially walked away from negotiations earlier in the day when Chelsea suggested a small nominal loan fee and it was Chelsea who came back in later day....
He's right though.... Chelsea wouldn't have done that for us.
Excellent post.
I really worry about a manager who doesn't get the rivalry with our neighbours, or at least doesn't appear to care.
Anyone associated with Tottenham Hotspur FC should fundamentally hate those cunts down the road from day one. Then do everything in their power to beat them every time we play them.
Mate he gets it. Aussie coaches say it all the time in big games. Meant to take pressure off his players.
It’s not even that we could have got Barnes for less than Johnson. Richi for £60M I’m sure we could have found a much better CF , younger and for less. Same with solanke and Wilson.
Really? You think Johnson, Solanke, Kulusevski, Werner, Odobert, Son, Bentancur, Sarr, Maddison, Romero, VDV, Udogie, Porro are better than people think they are?
I think this team is massively overrated by many if they think 5th was under achieving last season or that we should be expecting to beat Woolwich no problem.
Personally, I think Ange’s methods ate getting much better performances out of this group of players than most coaches would be, and we are no longer watching turgid shit played entirely in our own box.
Why not? They were desperate they would have done anything for anyone, it's just we blew our load early with Werner and then Odobert.
Abramovic and all the previous owners almost certainly not.
Boehly is all over the place, and seems to have no understanding of the sport let alone our rivalry.
Either way, I'm not sure we'd have gone for it anyway.
I guess he didn’t want to burn them trying to chase us down. Although they press in the first half more but 2 nd half dropped off more.
All the positive stats in the world don't mean shit if at the end of 90 minutes, the opposition has scored more than you.
Well said this so many times just ditch the wide men. Play Porto / Spence rwb and destiny other side. Put son up top with solanke.
May be then why not just say that! The fans would rather hear that and even the players.
He was offside I think

Do you think villa, Newcastle or Brighton have much better players
I don't, they are better coached and or managed than we are.
