    For having two holding midfielders tielemans seems to be just gliding into the box with no fucker near him. 

    It seems like Mainoo is playing as an AM. Piping up everywhere in attack but I've barely seen him in defence. Strange move to play him that way.

  2. With Botman out, if Burn moves to CB and Tino, comes in at LB for the rest of the season, there must a chance he can get in the england side, because Chilwell is awful.

  3. Didn't Burn play CB the entire first half season under Howe with Targett at LB? He was excellent then in my memory.

     

    It seems crazy a couple of poor games this season and suddenly he's incapable of playing there for some.

  4. I used to always be in the stay at St James' camp. But with all the PSR stuff recently, it's made me think we'll never reach the top without a new custom built stadium. It's another negative of PSR really. Clubs have to trade away their heritage and price out their die hard supporters to try and squeeze every penny they can.

    He lacks pace when playing on the wing. As a central midfielder I wouldn't say he is slow by any means. He's faster than Bruno, Longstaff & Miley. Probably on par with Tonali.

    Tonali is meant to be very fast isn't he? I remember it coming out he had the fastest sprint time in matchday 2 of the champions league.

    Just been absolutely humped 1-7 at home to their Chelsea counterparts.

     

    People wondering why we didn't put the kids in like Klopp. :lol:

    It was 2-1 at half time. Hell of a collapse.

    What’s going on with Dele Alli. He finished his loan at Beşiktaş and is with Everton but hasn’t played at all this season. It says he’s got a partial muscle tear with no return date. Is he essentially finished?

    I thought there an issue that if he plays for Everton again they have to pay Spurs a silly amount of money.

    I can't help think Man Utd are just chucking people into positions at the club that already have people in them. They are obviously top quality but will they all be fighting against each other.

    I was thinking how we took so much time to make our moves for things like our CEO, CFO and sporting director but Man Utd are just hiring people from everywhere. Our way is frustrating at times, but I feel like it's more likely to lead to consistent success. What Man Utd are doing seems wreckless and poorly thought out. Hopefully it blows up in their face.

    Never seen Ederson play, could he replace Bruno for rotation/inury or suspension?

    Tim "South American Football Expert" Vickery said he's a similar sort of player to Bruno.

    I wouldn't be surprised tbh. They are clearly pissed off at being asked for £20m, it wouldn't be that hard for little Dan to advise them off the books. Not ideal but would be quite hard for us to prove anything unless he went specifically after our targets.

    If the papers have gotten wind of it, I feel like it wouldn't be too difficult for us to gather evidence too. It's almost certainly nonsense though.

    Is there any truth in that a player has to play in 37% of games to be considered a first team asset on the balance sheet?

    No, it has come from a misunderstanding of a tweet someone made suggesting what they thought would be an improvement to FFP.

    I’ve always maintained I expect us Howe to get us to 7th/8th and qualify for Europe if we can get players back and the majority of the team stays fit.  
     

    Im glad we have a performance to build our confidence on. Massive clean sheet that.  

    Is the 2023 because there others haven't started their accounts yet? So we might be 8th behind Villa when they release their accounts?

    Thought he was very good today. 

    Was shocked to see it was him overlapping for that first goal. 

     

    Avoided a yellow again? How long does he have to keep going or do they never get wiped again. 

    Got to survive 5 more games.

    I cringe when I see that tackle. Barbaric. 

     

    He only got an 8 game ban. Should have been a lot longer IMO.

    And the commentator says 'got to be on the brink of a red'. Yup, absolutely borderline that one.

  15. Net spend is a bollocks stat without context. Bournemouth got into the PL with a bunch of players that were with them from division 2. They're not going to be able to sell them to reduce their net spend. The players they spend money on would take time before being sold for profit. For example, sell Solanke now and it would balance out a lot of what they spent.

     

    It's like us now. We can't balance our expenditure by selling players because most our players are Ashley era players and aren't worth anything. The only ones worth anything we can't afford to sell.
