It may well be coaching. He’s not on set pieces for two reasons I believe. He can shoot really well from the edge of the area if the ball comes out. He has incredible recovery pace and ball recovery if we are countered. I think his delivery is great but I doubt we will see him on set pieces often at all.

Think it may just be wanting to see him taking more responsibility. He used to run the show for Milan, but here he seems happy to do as you say and shift it to someone else ASAP. Same goes for wanting to see him on set pieces, etc.

Lovely cross field ball from Munda. Almost a "worldy"...

He looks to play the ball as quickly as possible, so it’ll happen. The net gain from Tonali is sky high.

The Championship form table looks quite good from a Derby County fan perspective - nicked Blackburn's manager and immediately shoot up to 2nd in the form table whilst Blackburn are rock bottom. Now it looks like Derby are dead certs for staying up given they've got some very winnable fixtures coming up. They were well and truly fucked a few months ago. Ones to watch next season.

Wonder if they'll bin RVN as soon as relegation is confirmed. I seriously doubt Steve Cooper would have done this bad a job.

I'm with LFEE on this, like. Tonali's defensive work is otherworldly but he could be a lot calmer/more careful in possession for someone with his quality and in the position he plays. Hoping it'll come with more experience of the league.

Villa winning the FA cup and not finishing top 7 will also alter it.

If he’s as good as we think he is. He would start for any Championship side.

I would prefer he is loaned out and we get in a CM or two. He needs regular football we need a player close to the standard of Joelinton. If we only get Europa. He would get those Europa League games so he should stay. If we get CL we need to use the money to improve our quality in depth. 1 perm. 1 loan signing.

Oh no, anyway.

Your taking a chance though with how threadbare we are in midfield. Plus would he be guaranteed games out on loan. If teams struggle they seem to sacrifice the young players for experience.

Might be the poor coaching since coming to England. Ten hag and the Chelsea fella might not be getting the best out of him.

East Stand, oddly given its far from an a architectural masterpiece even amongst those who admire brutalism features on the C20 at Risk List “10 outstanding twentieth and twenty-first century buildings across the UK threatened with demolition, dereliction, or neglect”. https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2025/apr/09/its-unjust-charity-fights-to-save-uks-at-risk-modern-buildings

Think that'll depend on who wins the FA Cup, so if the table stays as is if Forest Win the FA Cup, that Europa League spot will go into the League as they'd have qualified for the Champions League so it'd look like: 5th: Champions League 6th: Europa League 7th: Europa League 8th: Conference League But if Palace win the FA Cup it'll be: 5th: Champions League 6th: Europa League 7th: Conference League

It'll be Europa League if a team above us were to win the FA Cup - so given Villa would be likely above us in that scenario, we'd need the cup winners to be anyone but Palace for Europa

Apologies if already asked and answered, but if we finish 7th I’m assuming that’s conference league ?

Birmingham became the first EFL club to get promoted this season yesterday.

Yeah now 5th place issue is sorted, I’d love all the English teams to be unceremoniously dumped out.

It's a bit crazy to me how someone with so much talent has done so poorly in England. I get he has attitude problems but given how good he was in Germany I didn't see it being anywhere near this bad.

Cmon man don't do TCD like that. It's from the athletic.

I want to know who the seven strikers that are better than him are

Which thread did TCD post that in?

What they're forgetting is he'll cost what we say he costs, not what they calculate he'll cost.
