That's more like it

Well, ideally you'd have more than one, but ok, maybe he's worse at taking instruction in a high pressure environment? Same thing applies. I agree with Dropout, it's not saying this is definitely the case, just that it's something worth examining. It's not as though Schar was dropped for being relentlessly shit, and I think most would agree it's the natural time to be looking at developing the future rather than wringing every last bit of juice out of our veterans. But in the short term we're at risk of losing certain things.

It can't be completely discounted e.g. Thiaw might be lacking certain things we don't easily see i.e. vocal organisation, particularly when pressure is on at the end of a game.

Hoped there'd be some sort of explanation like that.

Probably. Makes the lack of action tonight crazier though.

Said in the Woltemade thread, both him and Thiaw seemed to have shrunk in the first half tonight. Came on better in the second though.

Starts on Sunday?

Feels like this game has swallowed both our Germans so far.

Probably. Point still stands.

There's a balance to be struck, but yes there's truth in this. A lot of our supporters are arseholes.

He has - Howe said something about it earlier in the season, I think before we signed a striker. I don't think Gordon will be taken off them until he misses a couple.

Full translation?

You think he'll be ahead by the derby then?

I too would like to rub in Ramsdale's performance tonight to all those who thought no one could be worse than Pope.
