The College Dropout

This was predicted. Our fixtures are difficult and we have fixture pile up.

We did this with Bruno. Because we got on the front foot with his contract. The club tried to strong arm Isak and Isak strong armed the club.

If he’s got any ability he’ll know you’re coming and be ready to start dancing. With Elanga, if you give him a bit of time and space - he’ll throw it away. Thats pretty much our whole squad. Sit back off us a bit. We won’t be able to hurt an opposition. More likely to take a loose touch or pass and create a counter attacking opportunity against us. Same way they did us last season.

Seemingly lot a lot of his ability on the ball with the passing

for a player like Elanga you don’t want to get into a foot race so you give yourself a yard. A player like Elanga he won’t do anything with the time and space. You don’t want to get too tight to an explosive player if you can’t match him. If he turns well, drops a shoulder or does anything you’re finished. You don’t want to him space to run into. You want to control the space.

The problem is he’s at worst our second best attacker.

Didn’t think it was one of his better games. Thought he was poor for the first and third goal. For the first he gets dominated in the buckle up to the shot and Beto runs past him to tap it in. and he’s too late in getting goal side for the 3rd. He’s had way better games. This one he contributed to our weakness at the back.

Yep. He’s a good player. But we’ve become soft with him as a mainstay. Not his fault this goal mind.

Wolves aren’t as bad as the points total suggest. A number of these would do a good job for us.

Villa bottling the CL. Awful every time I watch them too.

More incentive for that top 8 that apparently didn’t matter

We’ll not need to beat them away. 2-1 at SJP. 2-2 at Camp Nou. On we march.

We’ll beat them at home

Lad that did it to us at Villa. Harry Wilson has hit a number of zingers this season. Rogers too.

Oh Etikite is wasteful in the PL too.

I think they are different players but none are close to Kroos or Modric

Behave.

Doesn’t seem very happy they’ve won mind

Let’s go get big Victor Osimhen. He reminds me a bit of Suarez and Demba

The Lloyd Kelly red looked farcical. Juve had their chances in ET. Ran out of gas.

They are alll good players. It’s the lack of leadership now. Mbappe joined and they can’t play as a team. The last 2 CL winning were super hard working. A lot of grafters. 2 fullbacks that can defend. Hard working midfield with experience and ability. Similar upfront.

Ascensio in bad shape. Might be out for a long time. My boy Alaba about to come on. Alaba is FINISHED.

Real Madrid attackers rarely make runs. I would fancy us against Real Madrid man. They stink. IMO we are a top 10 team in this competition. Maybe even 6-7.

Same tbh

Not to me - no. He's good technically, sure. In some regards so is Harry Wilson or a Sylvan Marveaux down a level. But gifted? I think of Berbatov or better. Wolte is better but yeh.. Zirkzee has a nice touch, feet and weight of pass. He has ability but is he gifted? Nope. He's closer to Zirkzee than Berbatov ability wise. Talented but he's not been at the level of Di Maria or Veron like someone else referenced. I still like him and think he can be a success here. But he needs to use his body better. I don't think he's so exceptional with his feet that he's worth having around just for that in any position. He's 24 but not tremendously experienced. Still learning.
