Sempiternal

Yes I would too, on face value it sounds absurd.

I read a good analysis recently about how teams basically figured out that flat midfield essentially all rush to the ball carrier so teams were drawing them and hitting one pass into the spaces they leave behind

I like Eddie a lot but I find that really crazy. They are being bought for insane amounts of money, by big teams so I don’t know why he thinks this

Offer Hansi Flick obscene amounts imo

I presumed he meant Unai, not the little racist

Would be my choice if I was a fan of them. Not sure he’d bin Villa though

Sacking him is right imo but they’ve let him spend a lot on players they are gonna be stuck with. The next guy has to be someone who gets more from less pretty much

That is a wild quote.

Oh nah it wasn’t a dig, i just thought I had read it as I remember being happy about it ha

I could have sworn there was an article last season saying they were prioritizing a 6. Maybe mark Douglas.

His weird passing style looks very ugly when it doesn’t come off.

My guess with him is they are banking on his athletic traits and coaching up the rest. Not sure if it will work if he’s not gonna get any game time.

He is yeah but he causes more problems than he solves for me. I don’t really understand the signing. Personally I would have bought a holding midfielder instead. agree about Bruno, if you’re playing someone with his athleticism or lack of, you need to be dominant. He can’t make recovery runs at all

Unironically Guehi would have been good yesterday as he actually run

Yes Brighton was definitely better but I did feel that they basically ceded the ball to us. I just haven’t ever been a fan of this midfield. It sounds crazy but you could see in in the Villa game where we smashed them. It’s just way too open. Bruno can’t play as a lone DM as he’s too slow and doesn’t have the defensive instinct to overcome it. I can’t figure out by we got tonali, he’s a fine player but he doesn’t solve anything for us
