  1. Aye passing sideways 5 yards
  2. Think the league is actually pretty good on the whole this season. The top teams are poor compared to what they were but almost every team have a few class players
  3. He'd be fine for us given a capable partner in midfield. Definitely a contender for our best player this season - granted, that doesn't take much. No fucking way like, he's had a few decent games recently but he's been pretty shit in general

    Said this a few weeks ago myself. He's s*** at the other side of the game but is untouchable at transitioning attacking play and imo has now actually improved his end product a lot. Take him out of the trenches, which he clearly doesn't like, give him a free role and get the system set to have Gini supporting him. Sign the right CM and you can play Moussa in his box-to-box free role and Gini in the #10 and build a central trio based on those 3. Thauvin wide left, Perez or a new real right winger wide right and Perez/Mitro/New CF up top. That's actually the true and real way forward. We do actually have some pretty decent players in our starting eleven, unfortunately they are totally undermined by three of four shocking players in key areas, i.e., left back, central defence and central defence. Also the goalkeeper so make that five. We do have decent players but I don't think its really possible to build a decent side when the spine of your team is so weak

    He's lost the fucking plot man

Aye give him freedom, let him run wherever he wants trying to find space. I also agree that his end product has definitely improved lately

    Think we should try Sissoko as the attacking midfielder again like he did in his first few games
  9. That's basically the best signing they could realistically make IMO
  10. Having a midfielder that can run quickly all day and has a decent touch is very valuable
  11. He's like a really really shit Thomas Muller
  12. Not really, Snodgrass has quite a bit of talent, Naismith can run and has a knack for being in the right place at the right time
  13. He'll probably get a few goals and will work hard so not a bad purchase
  14. In that thread he linked you yourself seemed to laugh at the notion that we could possibly get relegated if you have a look I laughed at the fact our target should be "avoid the drop". Ambitious I know. A graphic came up from sky sports asking, "Will NUFC avoid the drop?", and your next comment was "Avoid the drop FFS" which seemed to suggest that you thought we would do much better than that Didn't everybody think that back in August? Our squad is not very good but we shouldn't be in a relegation battle. Well isn't that the point TCD is trying to make?

  17. Not qualifying for the Euros with Holland isn't great either. A mixed year at best I would've thought

    Thanks again for this remarkably enlightening information that absolutely noone on here other than you knew. Ian W was saying the possession style we played would eventually come good tbf
  19. Would have been an absolute meltdown here if he was on the bench again
  20. Alright defensively, shit on the ball
