Erm, last 6 matches:
W2 D1 L3
conceded 13
the 2 wins being against teams currently 17th and 18th.
smashed twice away in that time (0-3 and 0-4)
Not trying to pick an argument here, Mr Pink, but that is poor form for a side with our aspirations and ability.
Holding out very little hope on this one. We're woefully out of form, and it's Chelsea. Away. Ugh.
Most of the team picks itself, with injuries (Werner, Udogie, Davies) plus players off the boil (Maddison, Bissouma)
Vicario
Porro Romero Van de Ven Royal
Bentancur
Sarr Lo Celso
Kulusevski...
It's to do with which items are cash-flow related. Companies typically look at their Operating Profit (or Loss). So, the actual money received (e.g. ticket sales, matchday sales of food and drink, merchandise, tv money, prize money and sponsorship) less the actual money spent (firstly wages on...
Yep, also came in here to post this.
With the current erratic performances, especially from all the midfielders, it's time for Hojbjerg to start. It may only be a game or two, but we need his steadying influence in the middle of the pitch.
Whether Bentancur can get fit enough or Bissouma get his...
Yep, not against that at all. Just wonder if he's had to play more minutes than ideal, post-injury, due to the absences of Sarr, Bissouma and Maddison, and that stepping back the mins now might be for the best. By no means a physiology expert though. Maybe playing more and building up the...
Bentancur has been very out of form and doesn't look fit. Perhaps we start Hojbjerg, who has been pretty solid, then bring in Bissouma and/or Bentancur later in the match, as they can hopefully give us 30ish good minutes, but probably not 60-100 mins at the moment. Bringing those two on, along...
Thanks BathYid. Would be interested to read more about this.
Also, with our strong FFP/PSR position, maybe we swoop in and relief Barca of some of their financial woes by kindly taking their best players off their hands.
Bit harsh.
As Tucker said, Hojbjerg only made mistakes after c70mins, when he was getting tired from the relentless City press. He practically carried the midfield vs City as Bentancur and Kulusevski had poor games (almost certainly due to fitness and conditioning, with Bentancur back from long...
Maddison was not remotely fit to play vs City. He barely even touched the ball. Unless something will have changed dramatically in 5 days, I can't see him starting or, if he does, being effective.
Bentancur also looks like he's played too much football too soon after his 2 lengthy injuries.
We...
Creative idea, but strongly.l disagree
If we need an extra player anywhere it's in midfield. Seen some good analysis on thr game at their place where we overloaded central areas and it was pivotal to stopping them and getting our game going. Expect Romero to step up with Bentancur when we have...
Agree with this.
There could well be deals to be had now for summer signings who will go into our first XI or at least offer it competition and we can get a march on most rivals. In particular we could perhaps nab one or two established home-grown players without such a hefty HG/PL premium -...
