David Edgar Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I don't think anyone in the universe expected Murphy to win that header. The man is allergic to physical battles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the godlike 1 in a million Burn rocket header. It was just meant to be that day (we were the better team regardless).

At least we've found someone worse at passing a football than wor Jacob FBRef mention claxon Just popping in with my usual response to any FBRef mentioned to remind everyone that FBRef is absolutely hopeless and notoriously shit at stats, even at a "free service" standard. UnderStat and FootyStats are endlessly better than FBRef among the free stat sites. UnderStat being the site that comes out on top for stats if doing a direct comparison between US and FS – as the depth level of available stats on US isn't half bad for a free service with G90, xG90, Sh90, A90, xA90, KP90, xChain, xGChain90, xGBuildUp & xGBuildup90 being some of the available stat options. That said, even US and to some degree FS, aren't worthwhile sources for actual stat-keeping – no free services are. Once you've experienced the genuine in-depth play-by-play stat-keeping done by companies whose databases require payment to access, you'll never look at sites like FBRef the same way ever again. I'm aware the price points for paid stat-database services are way, way, out of reach for anyone that aren't looking at stats for work-related reasons, don't worry about that Just feel responsible to point out that all the stats on FBRef sites and the likes aren't worth anyone's attention, your eyes provide more genuine insights about players than those "stats" do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he would be on the bench and never played like Big Will. Say what you like about Murphy but him and Isak have a crazy pairing and understanding - the grass isn’t always greener.

We’ve had one actual striker most of the season and Osalus not got minutes, fact is if it’s not broke Howe down doesn’t change things and say what you like about Murphy as a whole it isn’t broke. I’m not even convinced Howe wouldn’t have sent him out on loan again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingxlnc Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 It’s crazy to think what a huge difference just having Minteh and Anderson would have done to our summer plans and having strength in depth. Anderson would have become 4th choice midfielder ahead of Willock in my opinion and Minteh would have been a great option against tired legs. Given the terrible transfer window we had in the summer it’s not been a bad season in that regard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigen Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Overrated. He is fast and powerful. But average technique and can use only his left foot. A good sale for 35m. Your regret is Anderson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) I don’t think Anderson is good enough. Once we get a new CM I want someone better. I don’t think he’s all that some of you seem to think. Ceiling isn’t that high imo. We should aim for a starting CM so there’s more or less no drop off in quality when we rotate. That it a younger one with a massive ceiling (but very good even now) Edited April 6 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotRich Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I’m not sure I have any regrets having won a cup and being on for CL qualification, personally. We might’ve won two cups and the league, I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I just mean when you look at the depth that Aston Villa have - letting those two go, and getting Vlach who has played 0 games so completely pointless, it just means there's a lot more work for the recruitment team to do this summer, whereas we'd have been in a slightly better place without it.

U are talking like we made those deal on purpose. Don't u know the backstory on why we have to sell minteh & had to do that dodgy Anderson deal?

KaKa Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Would have been such a good option for us on the right side. Really poor that we weren't on top of managing PSR better so we had to lose both him and Anderson, who would have been great squad options on the cheap. Hopefully we've learned from the whole fiasco.
