He was good until 37. But his body can't handle it anymore, and he doesn't have the game awareness that Messi does... He's an absolute top notch bellend, and in the top tier of players to have played the game. His dedication to his craft, and to...

And unlike Messi, who's done very little when not actively involved, Kane is everywhere on the pitch, all the time. He has incredible stamina. And the fact that his game is not based on explosiveness means he does not need to adjust and put...

I just want to comment on all the people talking about his "poor form". He's underperforming his xG by a bit, but considering he missed a pen...that's not terrible. And his overperforming his xA. And, remember, if he gets into position but the...

Reckon Newcastle are in trouble... What a shame.

I'm not sure that's strictly true. Jensen seems to cover across more, and drop into those spaces just on the left, similar to where he used to play when we definitely played 4-3-3 with Norgaard, JDS, and Jensen. When Dams plays, it's definitely...

I think things like Gabriel and Havertz going down holding their face should be retrospectively punished with 3 match bans. There needs to be a standard set. And the Timber pull on Isak...that's not just a penalty, is it? It's denial of a clear...

I said it once, I'll say it again. The standard of officiating is atrociously bad right now, and is ruining the game. If we cannot get consistency, we cannot have a game. I don't mean that every decision needs to be identical, but VAR needs to...

Needs to dish out the cards. I would have carded all of Gabriel, Havertz, and Timber. And that was a stone cold penalty.

Rarely watch many other PL matches, but watching this one and it’s not just us, the officiating is so poor.

That's it, though. KA and the team looked at it, they looked at their options, and they arrived at a solution that worked. That's great work, and shows how important a coaching team can be. Look at Moan U in comparison, who can't seem to fix...

It worked. And, yes, it's not always about winning the initial ball, and not even about the second ball...but what happens next. We got the ball into the right areas and showed confidence in our defenders to be able to win the ball back quickly...

Was listening to the Athletic podcast on Arsenal Liverpool just now, and around the 12 minute mark, they're talking about Arsenal's build up change between Brighton and Bayern. How Raya played a lot more long balls. So I looked up stats. Against...

Maybe Forest aren't as good a pressing side as Sunderland or Hull...or maybe we're learning from our mistakes. Big improvement from the team. We played a lot more direct balls than against Sunderland in the cup. Think it paid off, even if they...

I reckon I could do a decent job as an analyst or tactician. But to put it all together like KA, or like TF did… nah man, these guys are insanely good at what they do.

Not good enough at passing through the press. Specifically. And we’re not great at it, but not many are. But if we want to play this way, we need to get better at it, as teams are just going to press us like hull, Sunderland, and Leeds second...

I don't even thinks it's that. We're trying to bait the press. But then we're screwing it up. See mistakes against Hull and now against Sunderland. We're not good enough at baiting the press and then playing through. TBH, I'm not convinced any...

Meh, sorry, the international bread kinda screwed time. Chelsea was more than a month ago...

My last comment was meant to be the opposite of doom and gloom! Results haven't gone our way, yet we're still 6th. And our ability to beat the top teams is still there, it's against teams who treat us as the bigger threat where we struggle...
