Conte and Tonali absolutely are similar to me as players 

 

edit: Conte was excellent at what he did, mind

 

 

 

You must have been a special player, dude.

The solution to our ongoing midfield crisis, potensially?

Haha had to re-read that - Christ, that sentence of mine needs the end rearranging.

Cruyff revolutionized the game both as a player and manager. I guess 30 years ago is not exactly recent years anymore. This age thing. Fucking hell.

Did he revolutionize the game or was he just following Rinus Michels' tactics?

Michels and Cruyff sort of co-developed Total Football from everything I’ve read - though Cruyff never seemed given to modesty!

Interesting stats based analysis on why we’re underachieving this season. Very superficial though:

I love they use the word “stable”

Good. Think everyone can use some nice weather and a reset/re-focus for the remainder of the season.

I see Roberto Mancini being linked this morning obviously because he’s Saudis team manager. Lazy journalism trying to rock the boat.

[The College Dropout]

It's lazy. But hiring people is often about relationships.

Watched the presser again today. Watched almost all of them since Eddie joined. Watched zero before him.

 

Such a class act. I have huge loyalty to him. Hope he is here forever

Shunned by Saudi Arabia this year. Worrying.

[Sibierski]

Probably say it’s just the club utilising the better facilities there, and as there’s no friendly to be played, there’s no reason going to Saudi.

 

No reason to suggest something that’s not there.

looks like he's had some ECT.

Ignoring the rest of the international callups, I wonder if Howe has forced Hall onto the England "Elite Squad" because he couldn't stand the thought of being stuck on a 7 hour flight with Hall. 

[gbandit]

Glad someone had the confidence to say what we were all thinking 

[huss9]

some better more direct  questions asked of him in the presser today.

not the usual love-in.

If you mean Bin Salman he probably doesn’t even know who Newcastle United is.

You’d be surprised was on the yacht when Staveley convinced them to buy NUFC.
