I used to play hockey at a high level - totally different sport, I appreciate that, but muscle injuries are the same. I’ve seen team mates bounce back from pulling up this way in less than a month I’ve had others who have had half a season wiped out. Depends on whether it’s a strain or a tear...
We lost, but it wasn’t a total disaster. Today the team showed passion and togetherness that has been missing for years. Those fans in the stadium made so much noise and were championing the team until long after they left the pitch.
This was a loss, but this was not a disaster.
This is the...
I think he’d be a great signing for us and Ange’s system. He’d certainly be a very welcome addition to our midfield cohort. He’d have no guarantee of being a nailed on starter here, but I suspect the point is to build to a place where no one is.
I can’t see his squad role here being much...
You think that’s bad… back when it was Championship Manager, before it changed to FM, I used to add a new manager to take control of Arsenal. I’d transfer list all their players and with the funds raised spend all of their transfer budget on my terrible Tottenham early 00s reserves, signing them...
From Harry’s perspective I see absolutely no sense financially to him moving now. If he sees out his contract he’s in a far stronger position to negotiate terms, including a hefty signing on fee (as clubs won’t have to stump up the weighty transfer fee they would now). They’d also likely be a...
Oh I agree, but what’s needed is acceleration and pace over 20-30m.
Interesting you should mention Dier, because in 2015 he was recorded as the one of the top 10 fastest player in the Premier League, he’s obviously since had injuries, but even back then I don’t think anyone would have said he...
Top speed, whilst important, isn’t the most informative metric. If you look at sprinters it takes them 60-70m until they hit their top speed - how many footballers do a full 60m sprint? Not that many given the length of a pitch and the patterns of play, which also means the recordings of top...
