Get some midfield in Longstaff in proper NSFW

I’ve been watching the Joelinton who hasn’t been great this season

This isn’t just fatigue, we’ve been utter gash away all season. Play a completely different way and it’s poor stuff. This wouldn’t be good enough regardless of who is in charge.

Arguably 5 in 2

Trippier just needs taking out of this team. Liability atm

All came from Bruno fannying about in midfield, that.

Could have had three here. Almiron’s return to being powderpuff is frustrating.

I’ve heard that stringing a few passes together can actually relieve pressure

Isak is the best technical player we have

Our back line is being opened up at will. Schar caught upfield. Basics not happening.

Coming that. Trippier on toast by Son

Forrest Almiron can be frustrating to watch.

I’ve heard Isak can play a bit. Heard tales of Gordon too

The ball took too long to come in allowing Davis to cover - if you think Isak was at fault you’re looking at the wrong player

If Gordon knows he’s passing that ball he shouldn’t be taking those touches. Play it first time

Yes, we know you know what’s happening behind the scenes. I’ve been particularly happy with the Saudia airlines sponsorship deal this last 18 months which was well above market value.

Not seeing owt but a home win for this one tbh. Only a couple of weeks until a big chunk of the absentees return. Milan midweek is by far the bigger game - I wouldn’t be upset to see reserves and young’uns rotated in. I know that won’t happen though. On the positive side, we do have an excellent record at Spurs

And Wheyse Keyse Lewise has an agenda of her own. That doesn’t mean that it isn’t a reasonable question to ask.

Is it a completely unreasonable question to ask with 15 first teamers out injured of the style of play is a factor? I still think we’re paying a price for a lack of rotation at the start of the season. The problem with the article for me is more the implication that Howe only knows one way to play. I think he’s much smarter than that - he’ll find solutions and I’m pretty sure that our style will evolve as the squad evolves.

I just watched it too - I just find it all tiresome. Culture war shite. Barton’s a fucking idiot, and he can’t disguise it - Piers Moron reads out his tweets and Barton thinks that being abusive is basically the entire point of social media as that’s how you start debates. It’s mind-meltingly dull. And you know what, I can agree with the odd thing - there simply isn’t the same pressure levels in the men’s and women’s games at the moment; that comes from crowd sizes & intensity, as well as the vast sums of money involved. So if the discussion is around handling pressure at that level, that is a place where journalists, fans and female ex-players cannot have a lived experience (though the female ex-players will have a far better grasp than me) - what else though? Sorry, don’t buy that a woman can’t understand football in the same way as any man. All this stuff is just a distraction. Barton going on as if punditry is important on any level whatsoever - it’s almost all shite, and this has pretty much been the case forever. Jimmy Hill knew more about football than most of us ever could, but fuck me I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t have happily seen him booted off TV screens. Punditry may be the least important thing in the universe. The likes of Barton should just do what i do - turn the football on a minute before kick off, do other stuff at half time, and switch it off after the final whistle.

For quite a time we played on the full slope - we were notorious for it My original post wasn’t well worded - it reads like I’m saying that there is still a 10m slope on the pitch, when I just meant the site

Wilson as is good as it gets without being elite level - he’s a first class PL goal scorer. We’ve two players for one position - to me, you’d want to get a young up and coming forward in as back-up, but an established star would likely eat up the entire budget

Can’t see us spending what would be pretty much our budget to bring in Osimhen for a position where we have two quality players already

He played far more games for Man City, who are these days a far more high profile club - they should say ‘former Man City midfielder Joey Barton’ and allow us to forget the cunt.

Joey Barton is the only one to ‘stand up to Ashley’ where I was actually on Ashley’s side. Barton was sent to prison and Ashley didn’t think that the club should be paying him full salary. I don’t, either.
