What’s happened to Ajax???

Said in midweek - if things are going as good as this you might see him spend a few years here

Fascinating stuff - think this is around 2004 The diamond is basically what Pep played with Messi and the end formation what Pep sort of plays now

Maxi hauled off after 65 mins

Todibo was brilliant last week vs Mbappe I can see us making a move for him next season Watched a bit of Moffi and Boniface last week - very impressive

3-1 to Al Nasr at HT Been a decent watch

Was convinced it had been dumped as it wasn’t on the main 3 channels like normal on Tuesday Then on Weds it was on TNT5 - thank goodness as I can’t be bothered watching 1 full match - plus the panelist’s on the goals show make it really watchable

Watched them about 4/5 times this season - don’t seem to have any structure about them - hard to work out what kind of team they are

If we get a real too class 10 I think the front 3 can really go up a level

Yeah he’s defo not a 9 - more of a RWF For him to be playing CL football is just incredible - if he continues this way it will be a fantastic loan - I wouldn’t even mind another season at Feyenoord - Dutch football really suits his game

4-2-3-1 Pope Trippier Lascelles Botman Hall Tonali - CM Bruno - CM Barnes Anderson - 10 Gordon Wilson 5 changes to the starting line up

We are too often playing with a flat 5 in midfield - he needs someone behind him and 2 either side of him to be at his most dangerous - pretty much isolated all the time Our midfield 3 is my biggest worry - in terms of its shape - it just isn’t working this season - nothing fluid about it

Are BT not doing the goals show this season???

I just don’t like how we are set up in midfield - it’s just too predictable Either we play with a double or single pivot - I hope it’s the former - should be Tonali and Bruno sitting - then Anderson - Willock - Joe - Isak or Gordon on front

Yeah the academy is very much in keeping with the 5 year plan - still a way to go - good thing is we are starting from the bottom and the only way is up

Give it a few years and we’ll have a much stronger set up - clearly out of their depth

What a bloody poor goal to concede

U19 in B&W tops - we should be wearing the same tonight

How much space do Bournemouth leave between their midfield and defence - every single attack

Dont know why they appointed Rudi Garcia - poor choice imo

Perfect 3 dimensional player in the sense he can play all 3 roles in the front 3

Defo need a top quality RWF

Looks like we have 2 Botmans available according to Skys yellow ticker

Hopefully Kelvin Phillips can get more game time too - Think Phillips - Rice is the combo needed to let Bellingham (Foden/Maddison) loose as the 10s
