    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    Can't see anything but 5th now - which I think considering the squad we have and the money we've spent will be a disappointing result. The problem with the Europa League is we never seem to play well in it. It always seems to be a grind where we eke out some ok results but never put in a...

    Ha. What in gods name makes you think we're in a position to sign two top class wingers and a top centre forward with or without Werner's money? Over the past few seasons we've spent 150-200m on the front line we have - DL isn't going to just go out and spend at least that again.

    What about if the same player keeps serving up sitters to other players that don't take them and creates space for the rest of the forward line?

    When was the last time our football was amazing? Villa? And then the first ten games of the season?

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Performances haven't been good enough with the squad we've got, can't say I'm as sold on Ange as a lot of people here seem to be. Purely from an entertainment pov he's a step up from the last two or three managers but performance wise I don't think we've made the movement forward we should...

    We should be doing better on the pitch and better in the league with the squad of players we have. Not sure if be clamouring to give Ange too much more money over the summer considering the investment he's already had and the performances we've been serving up.

    Dreadful performance and stupid tactics by Ange. When plan A is being literally torn apart in front of your eyes then 'do it better' is a dumb answer.

    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    Said it during the forest game, we are going to struggle in this run in. Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City are going to have a field day with us if we play like we have been for a while.

    Awful defensive performance today, but then the defence hasn't been great for much of the season. The defenders are good but I think we need a specialist defensive coach, it doesn't seem to be Ange's forte. God knows why Bissouma was starting today as well.

    Glad to see some proactive changes this time. Hopefully it pays off.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Forest

    Think we'll win this game but Man city, arsenal and Liverpool are going to kill us if we continue this kind of performance. Not too keen on our chances against Newcastle or Chelsea either playing like this.

    Those first ten games really were an aberration. Recently, outside of villa, every other performances has been pretty average.

    Defense looks shaky AF again. Ange needs to bring a defensive coach on board.

    I think he's in the same bucket as Johnson, Kulu and Richy at the moment - sometimes really good, sometimes pretty medicore. I like his attitude and I think he has been a success for us since signing so I'd like us to sign him permanently. I'd like to see big money spent on a clinical finisher...

    People talk about the squad, but I think it's the best it's been in a number of years. There are no obvious gaps anymore like there was at CB before we signed VDV and Dragusin. Some better backup fullbacks would be good and another midfielder, maybe a more productive forward but honestly none...

    Match Threads West Ham vs Spurs

    Don't think the squad generally is performing to the level of quality it has at the moment. Really with the squad we have, 4th should be easier than it's proving to be.

    Match Threads West Ham vs Spurs

    Up and down performance, first 20 minutes was good, next 20-25 then West Ham were comfortably the better team. Not sure I'd change anything just yet, maybe bring on GLC and Richy at 65/70 if nothing has improved.

    Think we'll still win second half but I think it's becoming more apparent that these mediocre performances are our default state rather than the performances we put in at the start of the season or the villa game. We should be better with the squad of players we have.

    I like it. I think we should change all our flags to match.

    I wasn't neglecting it, I think the squad now is considerably better than it was when we had Kane. One player doesn't make a team.
