Been decent but not 100 per cent sure bentacur is what we need next season if we want to challenge for title. Need a midfield maestro plus bissouma for me.
we’ve done pretty well since he’s arrived, and given most players improve once they’re fully settled he might be better next season.
I think we are 3rd form wise - which is what we’d be hoping for.
 
the reason teams like burnley, the old stoke have this defensive/time waste style for 70mins most games is they believe keep the score 0-0 or be 0-1 even 0-2 behind until the 70 min mark then the attacking team will be thrustrated and nervous and chances will come Burnleys way using high balls into the box and winning the second ball, if they get 1 goal back then the attacking teams really panic's
That was my thinking too: keep it to 0-0, or 1-0, then throw the kitchen sink at your opponent for the last 20-30 minutes. Crap to watch, but can reap rewards. I actually said to the guy next to me that it's like watching Stoke😄
 
Fans were great today. Conte was getting the fans going because there had been a break in play for a while due to an injury and everything had gone dead. The five minutes after this point was the loudest I've ever heard the Lane. Literally deafening.
Good luck with the sign language
 
It's because they've watched Spurs put 4 past Villa, 5 past Newcastle, 5 past Everton and even 3 past City.

With a more attacking style they might have scored more, but they're thinking that instead of a single pen, they end up conceding 3+ goals.

We've also showed that we struggle to break down a packed defence.
If a team such as Burnley, show no attacking ambition, other than to try and nick a goal, in the last 20-30 minutes, then in my eyes, they deserve to go down. However, if those tactics work for them, then fair play.
