Theregulars

FFS they’re all available without the sponsor! Literally bought the home and third for 20 quid each feeling right smarmy.

How would you identify them from this information?

Loose connections but through someone who works with him and whose kids are at same school.

Saudi-bound in the summer.

Right? So fucking unimaginative to just retread the maroon and blue again. At least do it in stripes or something. A white kit with green as the main alternate colour on it seems weird given that almost the same thing happened last season.

The most incredibly esoteric silver lining

Well played. Justifying his presence in the team. Actually bringing some things we’ve lacked without Joelinton.

Got to play Murphy so he can repeat the screamer and whale yawn celebration

Probably a van full of casino chips and playing cards with sachets of dolmio

Maybe the van had a crashing addiction? Adrenaline junkie trying to revive the highs of travelling across free borders. wont somebody please think of the van

I care about the van

Pisser that it’s another 12:30. Need the crowd for this one with half the squad dead so more liquid accumulation time would have done us a lot of good.

People have moved onto Longstaff as misery flavour of the month.

Yup, that’s Howe shown.

Is it not Almiron?

No, you fucking dullard. I am saying that he is instructing us to press less because he’s having to adapt tactically to the personnel available and the levels of fatigue / physical possibility. It’s grating enough to read your incorrect analysis spouted like a hot take of concrete factual certainty, but you then take it to another level telling people what their points are when you’ve misunderstood in the first place. Genuinely: you don’t have the brain or knowledge for this.

Ah fair enough. Maybe wouldn’t work vs West Ham who weren’t attacking; they invited us to take the initiative and tried to hit us on the counter (doing so effectively a few times). If anything this discussion is further evidence of Howe’s tactical flexibility within a system.

Yeh tbf pointlessly philosophical argument. I guess at Arsenal he spends a lot of time watching his team in the opposing half. Nonetheless a really weird thing to say.

Perhaps because we’re having to be more balanced because of the injuries, totally undermining the already wrong point that he offers no tactical flexibility.

I can’t help you. Mind how you go.

I completely missed that. If that’s accurate then yes, best avoided. Although, being pedantic, does a goalie need to concentrate for a full 90?

And what about the sacrifice of attacking intent and pressing which that involves?

If you think Howe is actually inflexible then in my view you’re not watching the games or you don’t understand football beyond surface level. Clearly on Saturday our tactics changed to overloading their right back with hall, Anderson and Barnes and we went all out attack with the fullbacks. One can make tactical changes without fundamentally changing the formation. he sacrificed 2 defensive positions for an offensive overwhelm and he was richly, totally and justly rewarded.

You really must write all this to the manager - I’m genuinely concerned he’s not noticed or thought about it.

DCL will score; it’s that season. Hope we just attack them constantly with no let up as long as we physically can.
