Tiresias

While on record wishing to explore every possible avenue to stay in the location (doesn't have to be renovation, completely knocked down and rebuild if we could somehow edge out some more room somehow would be completely fine by me) if we have to move, I hope it's just a short hop to Leazes. I think the current site should be turned into parkland to replace that which is gone but would be nice to have something impressive there, to have something in that place in the city skyline (massive statue of Joelinton???), I would hate for it to be replaced with just more generic student flat buildings.

Moving it is absolutely inevitable the money will win out. I know I'm not popular on this but leaving that location is absolutely heartbreaking imo.

Really leaning into the Bond Villain lair reveal there

Largely agree with this he's really good but he's just not an outright finisher, he's rated on all the other stuff he brings to the game. He's an elite level ayoze perez more than anything

As i don't really pay much attention to the general area of the forum the Saville profile pic is a tad confusing to be honest...

Good that motd2 lineup was dreadful, stayed up to watch following our win and just ended up annoyed

I knew Steve Crossman a bit growing up and still weirds me out hearing his voice on radio. If he gets MotD will totally freak me out

If Guardiola was fielding Joelinton it would have been called a 'false midfielder' or something and some tactical masterstroke. I think he's been better in the middle than some give credit for but its not quite his best. He sits somewhere half way between a left sided central midfielder box to box type and a winger. He somehow remains influential and involved in the general play despite theoretically being up on the wing. He's massively tactically flexible without complaint or without willingness to do all the dirty work of whatever position he finds himself in

Going to take a wild punt it was Jose himself

I'm glad he's playing better. He gets such hate maybe because when he's bad he is incredibly frustrating in possession but some do act like he doesn't have that higher gear.

Anderson is a funny one. Until last season he was essentially a no 10 in a quite old fashioned (now) way, not enough pace to play out wide, not strong enough to play in the middle of a 4-3-3 and as such pretty uncommon site in the premier league, and hence why he always was going to struggle to get starting spot with us. Then he seemed to be a bit bulkier and was tried in that midfield 3 and for a moment thought may add that technical edge we sometimes lack, but he unfortunately just didn't produce a huge amount. I can see him being fine for Forest, you sometimes want that technical player in the middle in counter attacking teams to be that pivot to launch attacks, but in Howe ball you need to impose yourself and bully the opposition which he never really did

Forest seem to be doing something that happens every now and then when a manager gets a decent set of players and doesnt over think things sets them up fairly solid and has some exciting players and it does very well. It's not grind it out, it's not regressive or anything it's just also not super 'cunning' or anything, and it will do alright and then the players will get sold and it won't sustain. They've done very well, but Chris Wood won't sustain that many goals I suspect, but it's not a cunning trap it's a solid team overperforming currently a bit, it'll even out probably.

I get what you're saying he's got issues but he still scores and assists loads, clearly outstanding. The big concern is for a bunch of seasons how much he played every minute for arsenal at such a young age that he was perpetually knackered

GET THE FUCK IN BIG JOOOOOE
