Teams are beginning to shift their style of play a little last few weeks with more teams playing 4-2-2-2, so it might be that we have to adapt to that style of play,

It finished over a year ago, they are just waiting on the verdict.

You cant spend too much, but you can sell hotels, womens teams to fund it and pay managers and agents through other companies you own though.

Opta predicted table, I cut off the teams who are way out of the mix.

6th is gone, its 7th at best imo. I have Chelsea finishing 6th this season and we aren't catching them.

I'm just hoping we can scrape Europa so we can get used to playing twice a week without having to go all out next season and play some absolute fodder so Wissa and Woltemade can get some confidence.

I imagine Eddie will say he may be available vs Brentford and give nothing away.

This is one of the main problems he's never on the ball much and thats where he should thrive.

Football Between the Lines podcast is talking about Howe in vs out.

Yeah I was expecting a bit more too tbh.

So many players like that who just have immense seasons. Papisse Cisse went 13 in 14 for us in the PL, then went 24 in 102. Never buy a player who appears to be at their absolute peak when they rely on service or play in a different style or formation, unless its clear they have a lot of talent.

Too much at times but those times are so rare. i think he would awesome in the Europa league mind

What’s affecting our confidence is we don’t have anyone who we know will score. Last year we could rely on Isak we knew he terrified defences. This year teams don’t really worry about our players

We need 23 points from 14 games. 7 wins and 2 draws and that might still not be enough. Most of the teams we are competing with have both Burnley and Wolves to play.

He played with an attacking talismans in Mbuemo at Brentford and a team who farmed goals from set pieces and created consistently high quality chances every game often on the break. Wissa probably never faced a low block in his life before he came to us.

We needed a talisman really, I don’t think he would come up here but Eze I don’t thinking has started a league game since October.

Neat and tidy is nice and all but this team needs some goal threat. Outside of Barnes we don’t have any match winners or good finishers. Bruno I’m not including because he’s doing things he needs to do because others aren’t.

We likely need 56 points for 7. This game is one of the easier ones against probably the favourites for top 7

It’s a must win if we want top 7. Based on their fixtures, we need to beat these and Bournemouth at home to get top 7. Unless we go and pick up some away points which isn’t happening.

Must win

He is. He’s probably also not playing with a player like Mbuemo who is levels above our attacking threat. We don’t really have a cohesive attack, at Brentford everyone knew their job and the patterns of play.

At his age once the metabolism slows down he’s got nee chance.

Eddies ultimate problem is he work out how to manage the volume of games. Although this squad is really unbalanced.

Woltemade may have been 3rd choice to replace Isak but Wissa was probably 1st choice to replace Wilson?

When you know the other team can’t finish there is no real urgency to defend
