Yeah but who? Lewis? Levy?
What a dumb thing to tweet without any context
It's almost as if they want you to click on it...
Extra £10m...that's what Eriksen did?
Plenty of nice parking places for the yatch
I heard he's negotiating for 10% of Barca's future Yacht rights.
There are a few members here who would hate ENIC if they spent £500m every summer on world class talent and won the league every year for the next fifty years.
After NWHL he is there to complete the Sagrada Familia?
1) Luckily, we can get away with inconsistency now we have four excellent midfield options. It's his profile that suits us most and it's his profile that we've been missing for over 3 years.
2) Whilst no, we don't necessarily need his goals, him making up 10+ of our goals in the league this season would be a good reply and would help greatly. it's another option. We'd all like that profile you want. It's hopefully what Perisic can bring us and it's what we all hope Spence will be.
There have been signs of exciting wide play albeit sparse.
I think we've shown we are far more than just a one dimensional team though. We didn't play the same way against Liverpool as we did against Norwich for example. We played teams that set up with a low block against us last season and comfortably beat them, we just don't talk about those games because we happened to create chances.
If the easy way to beat Tottenham Hotspur was to play a low block then every team would do it. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you can't break teams down on the day. There's been plenty of games over the last few years alone where City and Liverpool have failed to break us down and those are two teams we look at an admire for the way they play and their ruthlessness.
I think what's important is that we go into games with the right mentality every game. I remember Brighton at home specifically last season, where we had a great chance to extend our lead into fourth place and the intensity was all wrong. We were slow, we were narrow and I dont think we had a single shot on target.... bare in mind, we had already played Brighton twice that season and put five goals passed them....
Sometimes that happens. Conte needs to make sure those days are few and far between.
Good post. Not sure Conte would ever do this, but dropping a CB and going to a Barca 4-3-3 or our old 4-2-3-1 would be another way to get an extra man into midfield. I'm sure he'd rather do 3-5-2 or similar to keep the patterns of play at the back similar, but, if playing an inferior team severely parking the bus, and limited by personnel, I'd hope we'd at least consider it.
We want Messi....
Don't hold your breath.
This has fecking annoyed me.
This has fecking annoyed me.
If we won a big prize once and didn't at least try and build on it, then the haters would have a point.
If we entered a period of sustained success, the fanbois would.
The problem is, there are certain members so heavily invested in their opinion that these scenarios don't matter.
If we moved the ball quicker and used our width to our advantage, we wouldn't need to switch our formation at all against inferior teams severely parking the bus.
Getting another midfielder on isn't going to help us against bus parking teams. It's just going to make the middle of the pitch more congested.
You don't think getting an extra attacking midfielder on would or even could be good against bus parking teams?
