Love his defensive ability, aggression and his passion!
The only bit he could work on is his distribution - a hyper-critical observation - but he/Micky will often have the ball and the likes of Timo, Son or Brennan will make brilliant runs into the space behind the defence and they will...
not sure he is robust enough to tackle, has never really had to hold the line (up top or at the back), is not especially good in the air and can't really cross (although Royal's crossing is not great)
Despite the clear deficiencies in technical skill that we need in the Postecoglu midfield, he offers something different to the players we have, namely 1) availability, 2) defensive discipline and 3) leadership qualities.
We can have extremely talented players who are limited in their value to...
Isn’t the issue that he has 18m on his contract, so from his agent’s perspective having interested parties helps contract negotiations?
Just can’t see a Chelsea HG player, current captain with a cup final to play and a player the manager has publicly stated he wants to keep and play moving to...
Johnson made some fantastic runs but the ball wasn’t put into the space in front of him by Porro twice in the first half.
Given we hardly had the ball in their half in attacking possession, he did ok and was no worse than our other attacking players. His final ball still needs some work.
Absolutely. Still traumatised from it.
I was in student accommodation on a placement in Milton Keynes, watching the game with an Arsenal fan of all people.
On my way to the stadium feeling far less confident than usual when facing City. Mainly because we’re missing Sonny, Madders hasn’t played for months and we may have to cope with a midfield including Højbjerg and Skipp.
I expect a 3-1 loss tonight… :(
I suspect it will be as simple as
Porro Dier Davies Udogie in defence
Højbjerg for Bissouma
Sarr (automatic starter) and either Skipp or GLC
The front 3 picks itself: Decki Son Johnson
I’d like to see GLC starting
I suspect Bentancur is not ready yet to start but with the international break...
Agree, but they have to perform.
Van de Ven looks a really promising player who is already very good, but prone to individual errors (as are Romero and Porro) and I hope Richarlison can hold up the ball and improve on his runs into space.
Sure, I understand where your sentiment comes from, but the reality is we "can do better" if we can sign someone better. But I'm not sure who would make you happy.
I'm not sure we can "do better" tbh.
Spurs, if we had a spendthrift owner could I guess splash the cash on a player like Vlahovic...
Sure, but the subtle details are relevant - we got close to £100m for our greatest ever player in the last year of his contract who wanted to leave, cannot find a suitable ready-made successor because he does not exist and players quoted to potentially replace him have issues (dodgy knees...
