As is taking Toney!
It's a surprise, but Toney is a fantastic striker. He's much more like Kane than what Watkins is, if Kane needs a rest or gets injured. He's even as good at penalties as Kane is.
Maybe he was before he went to Saudi
I didn’t say Brentford quality but Brentford style. There is a distinction. It is a Brentford setup, which is downstream of a less expansive Woolwich setup.
We are trying to play Gooner football without Saliba, Gabriel, Timber, Calafiori or fucking hell even Ødegaard. What makes that team is their huge set piece threat and their impenetrable defense led by a tireless press. Where’s our big set piece threat? Are Guehi/Stones/Konsa anywhere near them two CBs? Sure, we’ve got Anderson and Rice; a top engine room to be sure, but neither are really creative midfielders or dictators of pace. And trust me, they will tire. We are leaning too heavily on that starting XI and only have middling replacement level depth now. There’s not a single game changer who can deal with a low block on the bench. Not a single one.
It’ll just look a lot like when Woolwich struggle to break open stubborn defenses. Constantly playing for the corner. And yes, Jude will be the central culprit of this. He is not a passer. He doesn’t unlock things. He doesn’t make quick decisions or unexpected passes. He’s essentially a thicker version of Dele with less pace.
James and Anderson with Rogers and Bellingham further forward ... almost a 4222. Rice isn't good enough with the ball.
Palmer's carring an injury rather than poor form, should be no where near.
Agree with Henderson, especially now he is staying. When he had one tournament and done i can see the logic. Still wouldn't agree but at least understand
Woolwich won the league, are CL finalists, league cup finalists and fa cup semi finalists. Yes please Tuchel, copy them.
Oh no, we don’t have Odegaard .. no we just have Jude motherfucking Bellingham and Eze (who replaced Odegaard FFS) . Oh and instead of Timber we have James. And we have Harry Kane, not Gyokores. Rashford, not Martinelli. Anderson, not Zubimendi. Guehi is extremely good, one of the best centre backs in the league. And we have Man City’s starting left back who ended the season with numerous clutch goals, calafiori? I think we’ll be fine.
Yes there is. Eze = more goals from outside the box than any other player. A perfect low block beater.
Yeah, and still winning. We have weaknesses (so do Woolwich) so you maximise your strengths and play off them. Which is what Tuchel, a CL winning coach, is going to do.
Jude is one of the best players in the world and his all round game and tactical awareness are levels above dele. Such a silly comparison. Dele was purely end product - Bellingham legitimately can play any midfield role. I fear you rarely if ever watch him because it’s embarrassing to hear this as if a guy a whole season ago who was a ballon d’or shortlist player at that age with those numbers is some mug.
Real Madrid fans don’t tolerate the player you describe. Instead they love Jude. Because he is a world class, complete midfielder.
Hahahaha some people in this thread.
Rice isn’t good enough with the ball?! Holy cope, if he’s good enough for PL & CL TOTY he’s probably “good enough with the ball” to play for England.
Just say you don’t like him because of the team he plays for and move on. Don’t try to rationalise the bias.
Happy for Welbeck to get in. Had a good season
They didn’t want to come round for dinner again, huh?
Getting a bit over the top now. Probably all pissed off because the flights and hotels were already booked.

Totally agree ; stuff happens..
Maybe Harry Maguire’s mum should be the next England boss
Fair point on rashford
Don't agree Saka it's to do with fitness... its a general thing in the prem this season with wide players.. just but that many open play goal involvements in general from that position.
We will get to the semis most probably, just very little hope of much else with this team
Expect retribution from

None whatsoever. Scotland will, as always, be home before the postcards. England will get to the semis minimum.Expect retribution from
We know our place.
You never know!
I am often wrong. But on this? I’d be stunned.
