its 'fans' like you that deserve this shit. silly fool.
I'd argue that the only people that deserve "shit" are those that feel other people genuinely deserve shit. But each to their own and all that
Gosh I have been a fan for such a long time and heard it all!
Please be careful when you use the word Moron in the future!
Unless of course you are looking at yourself in your mirror!
Have a great day now!
oh have ya. worrying that you are absolutely clueless then aint it. pleb
On the ignore you must go!
What has the managers or coaches taught VDV ? what coaching have they done with him or the other CH's ?
from what I can see we should get in Usain Bolt's coaches in to coach the CH's
Playing a high line and getting the CH's to run back fast to cover for mistakes ISN'T coaching in my book

Bit harsh - clearly coached to play out from the back and get the ball moving but I assume you mean defensively one on one / aerial defending?
NO they are told to play out from the back, Coaching would teach them when/where to look, or when not to play out
Playing out from the back was designed to draw the opponent on to the defender creating space in midfield, Defensive coaching has now countered that by how forwards press,
so now CH's need to be able to see the long ball pass before its there (think Eriksen/Kane passes) trouble is too few CH's can see that pass (Toby could) Lots kick it long but that is after they have "looked, looked & looked again" by which time their defenders have covered that space/movement
I think Destiny Udogie and Micky are going backwards. They are not being taught the fundamental well enough. rusty I've seen Pochettino and Conte walking fullbacks through the distance between fullbacks and centerbacks during phases of play. I saw a session Pochettino did with Rose about what his angle of attack should be depending on where the line outside them was and where the winger was. I guess it helped he'd played against Owen and Ronaldinho himself not the A leagues finest. Lots of people on here not seem to know the diffrence between coaching and tactics.

Any news on his Injury?
It’s pretty obvious it’s another strain - won’t be seen again until mid Jan. stupid keeping him on that long
He’s not injured. He felt it tight which will likely be cramp as he’s not played. He will play on Thursday no doubt
Genius management as ever. (Phillips not available till Jan).
He’ll be fine for Thursday mate.
You think it was just a bit of cramp? HmmmmHe’ll be fine for Thursday mate.
The latest from the club app was that he felt a tightness in his hamstring but there's nothing confirmed on if he actually re-injured it.
Ange also claims that they had planned to take him off around that time so they are treating it as a precausion. Romero seems to be the more seriously injured (for now).
He’ll be fine for Thursday mate.
I'd hope so too but throwing him straight back into a 2 games per week cycle is asking for trouble..... That Davies injury is such a kick in the teeth; can't even ease Mickey back into things.
My heart was in my mouth when he went off, but then noticed that he walked off quite normally, so hopefully it was just precautionary.
He's such a big miss when he's out, but I worry that we are just going to overplay him, and assume that every hamstring injury will take longer to heal.
