Can you be average and pony?
Look at every club in the top 6 ...
who?
I thought he struggled to impose himself on the game. He was loose with the ball and didn't win any 50/50s. I don't think he's a bad player but we overpaid and he probably wont been seen to his best until we have hounded him out of this club. Ideally, he shouldn't be starting more than half a dozen games for us this season and maybe ten next season but such is the mess the clubs is in, he's one of the first names on the team sheet.He was sluggish on the ball at times, including a few heavy touches in relatively dangerous areas , but I thought his overall defensive work was miles ahead of the work of some others that had previously been tried at DM.
His instinct to drop between the CBs works especially well with a CB like Romero who likes to regularly push further up the defensive line to disrupt opposing players. It was looking like a back 3/back 5 more often than not. Irrespective of what you think of a back 5 in a vacuum, I think we can all agree that this team needs some defensive solidity above anything else at the moment.
He should be the primary choice at DM going forward.
Gray is one of those players who will end up at City to replace Rodri...
Bergwall is the type of player who will end up at Liverpool and thrive...
Romero is already mentally wearing a famous white shirt... Just not ours!
We'll no doubt extend Bissouma's contract!
WE'RE the problem, not some of our better players!
For fuck sake. He's 19.
Is he trying to say we were previously more interested in developing young players than winning games?
Every time he talks now it’s a car crash.
He's thrown Gray away like he did Moore. Funny thing is, both were playing well (better then most of the senior players) when he discarded them.
Ange is again all over the place. From playing Gray every game to not even trusting him to come on as a centre back (instead deciding to move the FB to CB....an FB he also didn't trust a little while ago as well).
It took me a while but I’m so done with his shit.
Exactly. Strongly suspect he said he’d play youngsters to get the job but never really believed it.
Same thing with selling Kane. No other manager would take the job unless Kane stayed. He agreed to it because he wanted to be here.
We needed a manager that wanted to be here but the conditions involved just resulted in candidates saying what the club wanted to hear
he is a coward. its easy to take the piss with the kids. hes scared of bentancur throwing a tantrum. blokes an utter coward.Ange is an idiot. Gray has been playing very well all season. Someone this team could actually count on to put in a performance.
Leaving Gray out of the starting XI recently is a mistake. No way can you say Bentancur has been a better use of minutes.
