Two players on their bench who wouldn't have claims to be starters for us. Christ I despise them so much. Utter cunts. Is that the same Chavs that signed 600 players in the last couple of seasons?![]()
You are such a monumentally thick, boring and frankly lazy cunt of a man that you can't even be bothered to realise that the whole conversation was discussing what managers do in general, not what our manager does specifically. I know reading is really fucking hard for you but once in a while stick those fucking mega prescription glasses on and knuckle down.
It's more acute as we play the fucking arseholes on Sunday...Well yeah, but then Chelsea aren't exactly normal. Even City don't have their quality in depth.
Liverpool, Woolwich, United etc when all squads are fully fit aren't hugely far off ours.
And I responded that they always have an eye on development. Guardiola is the prime example here. He gave minutes to a teenage Foden, Palmer, Sancho, Bobb when he already had a Billion pound squad with superior players, in those positions, at hand. It was literally with a view to their development.I don't agree. I said that the manager wouldn't play an option he considered inferior at the time because they might develop.
They never give their youth a shot in the early stages of cup competitions? Ferguson, Wenger, Klopp, Poch, Mourinho have all done that.You're yet to say (type) anything that proves me wrong on that point. Managers select the best players for the job on the day, not because they want to develop for the future.
This sums up last season: https://www.givemesport.com/every-premier-league-team-ranked-injuries-suffered/Feels like there is less to this than anyone thinks. We're good enough to play in Europa and hang into other competitions long enough to create lots of extra matches throughout the year, but we haven't invested in squad depth enough to handle the fixture congestion the way higher ranked clubs do
I would like to see some kind of brainy analysis of our historical record of injuries versus that of others PL clubs, all the same. It seems as though we're especially beleaguered for some reason.
Thank YouThis sums up last season: https://www.givemesport.com/every-premier-league-team-ranked-injuries-suffered/
We have 9 players ruled out by injury or suspension right now. Which is second only to Southampton's 11.
We need a deeper squad and managers willing to rotate more.When we bought solanke, he didn't miss a single game last season for them, comes to spurs injured a couple of times.

Everything I've posted has proven you wrong on that point. EVERY manager/coach has an eye to the future. WHEN they give that opportunity to youth is dependent on circumstances.
Lol why bother mate. He will never, ever admit to being wrong.
Its not about defensive records. Its about conceding goals against the run of play and dropping needles points. Were shit when it comes to that.Suicidal tactics? Only three teams have a better defensive record. Pool, Forrest and Utd.
Forrest and Utd have 12 and 11 goals less scored than us.
He doesn't want to admit he's wrong either. We sort of both believe we're right.
Not that your contribution was needed. I discuss things with him as I quite like him and he's not always wrong about basically everything like you are.
Tit.
I'm very committed. I saw your very quickly deleted 'contribution' to a conversation I was having earlier.
At least mine had actual context to what was said.
And, for the record, just cos you believe youre right it doesn't mean you are. Facts are facts.
Sometimes I quote you and then I decide to fuck it off because god it's boring.
So funny as I actually never see you ever say you're wrong about anything ever. The hypocrisy is staggering.
I admit I'm wrong about things plenty.
You should try it some time, you might like it.
So wrong. See, you don’t know Ange at all. You don’t have an intimate knowledge of what he’s been through like us Aussies do. He is so far from the type to stay quiet that he walked out on a World Cup after qualifying because he’s not a yes man and he does rock the boat. You’re getting the public persona confused with the private.I dunno what he’s saying behind closed doors, but Ange is never gonna rock the boat. He will stay quiet, mumble that he’s the manager and it’s his responsibility and rinse and repeat.
