Zola then Vialli

could see why Howe put him upfront when Isak went off, a couple of scrappy goals will do him the world of good. Would still rather see Barnes one on for him and not Murphy though

don’t think he is, HBA was stupid talented, in the top 5 most naturally gifted players we’ve had. It was the mental aspect and coaches we had at the time that limited his output. Isak is the better player as he has the mental aspect screwed on right but talent wise it’s bloody close.

which is also borne out by the relative increase in squad values vs purchase price. We’ve had to pay first xi prices for pretty much every position on the pitch.

Keep it tight first leg and we’ll do em at home

More positive is that the uptick isn't just an accident from persevering with the same thing. We've tweaked the midfield and from nowhere the set pieces have some variety.

Away first and then potentially have something to chase at SJP second leg or first leg at home and hopefully have something to hold onto away? Think I'd go the first option

genuinely thought Murphy was going to do it at the weekend

of course quite possible that the slow down in intensity this season is in part down to JBs input

What’s the reason for Razer not doing the comms recently?

Ditto, it was a choice of Bruno or Barnes.

you must be pretty worried seeing where you are before he left

Id compromise with our keeper and centre backs where experience is key. younger players who can develop and potentially sold in all other areas.

A cf is exactly where we need to be going abroad for. DCL has premier league experience but his stats do not tally to his price tag

were Barnes, Vlad and Kelly missed off for any reason? it’s also only half the story putting hit or miss against them, the real question is whether there is the same output for less cash if you went abroad. you’re really looking at the Barnes and Gordon transfers for that, the other fees are pretty low and what you’d likely pay abroad anyway

Liverp……… and prove should be in ‘ ‘

so you think Miggy should still be our starting right winger?

didn’t you know it was John Cena tribute day?

Spurs goal difference looks nuts compared to those around them. Everyone between 4 and 11 on around 0 and spurs at 13.

If 12 is the minimum from 4 games what is the realistic maximum?

His one on one bs Diaz was fucking awesome as well. all kids should be shown that as textbook defending

any one of them you could accept in a game, for and against you. all 3 on one game is poor. the game did flow well and I’d agree outside the big calls the officials managed the game well - damning with faint praise there I get. He was also very quick to card Pope, so either Popes going full on fuck you, you bent ref at him or the refs realised he’s fucked up and reacted almost in defence

if we go on how we all judge other players surely that’s irrelevant if the final output is wide for a goal kick. I quite like Murphy btw, no problem with him in the squad still but he has the same failing as Miggy in doing lots of good work but being let down at the end

Pretty good odds he buries that one on one (actually either one) if he’s in that position

Just had 8 kids kits from soccer04, 2 lots of home and away, a Welsh home and 2 keepers tops. All top drawer. £115 for the lot
