Trying to recall this?
Mate, everything is a feeling. The difference with me is that often I woll try and explain it and invariably leave it.
Nothing proves my opinion right but equally just saying Solanke doesn't have a mentality issue doesn't validate that assertion neither.
It's in the very big box of unknowns.
No problem for me.
Watch the break from us in the 2nd half. Solanke misses his shot. Gets his feet all wrong. Was a good opportunity.

I call that a missed chance. Not even to get a shot away.
You have to shoot to call that a missed shot.
He got how footing wrong, I don’t know how that translates to mentality though...?
And it might not, depending on who you are.
I really enjoy sport. The rivalry. The intensity. The capacity for calm in moments of great stress.
I live in Earlsfield, near Tooting. Jimmy White was my favourite snooker player. Fantastic talent but world title - nope. Mentality. And White had some great chances.
The very best players in all sport have this undefined,hard to pinpoint mentality. And then a select group have even more. It's unreal.
So I view much on the basis of the metric that applies around mental strength.
It's why Sunday is impossible to judge on how it will go, because our mentality over the last 2 years has taken a battering, but if we can win.....
So on Solanke, just my take.
And why I think Archie Gray is a possible star. Something about his mindset.
ridiculous. You obv hate him for some bizarre reason.
I don;t debate with deranged people. It's like mud wrestling a pig.
Fuck off Pig, on IGNORE
Fair enough
But if you are going to say a player has a mentality issue, it’s reasonable for people to wonder where you get that from
Of course. I welcome it until or unless it gets personal or just a circle of difference.
But ultimately, that which isn't fact is just opinion.
I doubt anyone at the club will defer to me for advice. Shame!!

Misses training today with a hip injury.
Blimey.
And yet he is in the England squad.
It's unreal.
Iron man.
The club needs to be firm with Solanke and all players.
We need all our players but if they aren't fit to start this Sunday then there should be no way any can join international teams. It's pure bullsh!t.
If Solanke isn't available for Sunday then he should be stopped from joining the England squad.

Another one to look to sell in the summer. Been a disaster really as he cant stay fit.
We need to be cutting our losses on these players.

Yep, it might seem harsh and nothing to say whoever we buy stays fit, but it's crippling.
We have too many players who fail to stay fit for prolonged periods.
You aren't any use if you can't take to the pitch.
If he's not fit for Sunday then he shouldn't be allowed to join up with England
I can only assume it's touch and go because if it were more than minor Solanke could easily have advised Tuchel that he won't be available.
Who fcuking knows, other than Solanke’s availability in this match would surely have helped us, in both boxes.
Just doesn't seem able to stay fit. Not what we need.
Love Dom when he's fit, but If Newcastle make a high bid, let them have him and promote Lankshear.

Hmmmmmm...
Not if it's another team though!
No idea why ypu say Newcastle as opposed to any side who meets a club valuation.
Promoting Lankshear doesn't seem to improve us in the slightest, so I don't understand that thinking per se.
No doubt at all that Howe has been disappointed with Wissa, and maybe the young German is just finding the transition to the PL and weight on his shoulders a bit too much for now.
Solanke needs to stay fit but that looks less and less likely, and I just think we need a better main striker, although I would keep Solanke, plus a better striker if that was within the club's gift.

Looks like Tuchel thinks Solanke overtook Watkins for second choice behind Kane
Hardly. A lot of players in that squad are players being given a last chance to impress, many won’t be on the plane come World Cup day.
Watkins has been poor and it’ll be a wake up call but his actual tournament squad will reflect who he thinks is where in the pecking order.
I mean Dominic Calvert Lewin, for fucks sake..
