Tuchel is a bit of a mad man. He can be very clever tactically but there is something of a pound shop Jose Mourinho about him, no idea why he used to get compared with Klopp other than being German, he is nothing like him. His selections of players so far has been quite odd, Jordan Henderson still part of the squad is weird.
Where do you think we’d finish with the current squad out of interest?
Isak hasn’t travelled with Newcastle for their pre-season games. On his way to Spurs….

is the beating heart of this thread and the forum as a whole. Incredible watching him set the tempo of discussion, a metronome in the middle of the park , never skips a beat , covers every blade grass , quality on the ball and off it.We may have never suitably replaced modric on the pitch , but we certainly did off it
It's a joy to watch and be a very small part of it
It's a shadydan world , we're all just living in it
Thought you'd be ecstatic at this
I’d be ecstatic about what he earns at Bayern?
Why not, he's earning big wages, isn't that what you asked for?
I highly doubt that.
If/when MGW comes to us, he'll be a starter more often than not IMO.

If Liverpool get both Ekitike and Isak then fucking hell won’t be looking forward to that game this season. Be nice if we could get a win against Liverpool, seems ages since we got one.

The forum Modric if you will.
Palhinha can pass, you don't get to Bayern or the Portuguese national team not being able to pass.
Yes, we might have been the ones who fucked it up, definitely, like maybe 25% chance.
Hope it helps
All too familiar
I'd say Modric is the football pitch Shadydan
In fairness I think that was due to the pressure to get a "win now" manager. We just didn't suit it as a club and - much like governments - bringing in someone who only cares about their tenure has had consequences on our squad.
But at least we've got the trophy drought monkey off our backs. That, I hope, will make a difference if we keep the core of that squad together. Worst thing would be to lose that and be back to square one with players who don't have belief. From the andecotes in the Poch period, it seemed like the only person in the team and coaching staff who thought we could win something was Lamela.
Van Dijk virtually went on strike to get away from Southampton. Don’t think MGW wants to do that or something would have happened by now.
That plank Arnautovic , wanted away from West Ham so would continually kick the ball,out of play during training. Also stood on the side of the women’s pitch shouting abuse at them and kicking a ball onto the pitch.
Danny Murphy said that Bellamy behaved ridiculously when he wanted away from Liverpool concluding with attacking Riise with a golf club.
One way to sort it is to offer an extra 5m to be paid when we win the league or champ lge!!!

Eh… Stefan Freund played for Germany and won a CL for Dortmund and couldn’t pass for shit.
I'm starting to think there is absolutely zero news on MGW coming out from journalists because their papers have told them not to comment as Forest are threatening to sue anyone that does. Bully boy tactics used by some other PL clubs in the past.
