Fucking anti-football bastards.
 
Apples: Richarlison - Did a keepy-uppy (and got scythed and then hounded by the media for a week as a result).

Oranges: Cash - Cynically injured 2 of our players in back to back games; one of which had only just got back after 9 months out.... And plays that way every week.
neither of which has any relevance to the point I made.

If its too hard for you to understand, maybe not getting involved might be a good idea
 
Optimizing the true value of today's key assets tomorrow. A line-up to please The Chairman, with explanations of why they've been selected:


BOTTOM LINE
Vicario (long term goal)
---
DISTRIBUTION NETWORK
Porro (corporate synergy) ---- Romero (ballpark figure) ---- Van deVen (contains the overheads) ---- Udogie (essential in the supply chain)
----
TAKEOVER TEAM
Johnson (on-time delivery) ---- Bissouma (gets the ball rolling) ---- Maddison (MD/blue-sky thinking) --- Bentancur (healthy balance) ---- Werner (runs with the concept)
----
CEO
Son (primary key asset)​
 
Agreed, against these low block teams I’d like to see us try an extra attacker/creative in MF at the expense of a 6. Not sure it would work but worth a shot.
I get that but you could put 6 attackers on but you still have the sane issue of trying to break a team down. They don’t need to change shape no matter how many we play up front because all they are doing is smothering the game and killing space. What teams are happy to do is concede the ball in wide areas when they are set because if we cross it in it’s easy to defend. It’s trying to drag them out to create space in behind which we are trying to do but if they don’t come out you have to just probe away and create something. That’s why we should always have Madders on the pitch when it’s like that. It might take him a while but he will break teams down because he’s the only one we’ve got that has that guile to do it. Taking him off against West Ham defied logic for me.

Not necessarily correct.

Players like Maddison have to also be on form- he isn't, and you need other players to offer distraction.

Never straightforward and regardless of team never easy.

We need the 3 points and only once we are 2 up does that become somewhat comfortable.
