I'm not sure I quite agree. Three years ago our LB options were an out-of-position Kieran Trippier or a constantly injured Luke Shaw. I think if Rico hadn't done his ACL at Newcastle he'd have had a great chance of going to Euro 2024. Now, as...
I tell you one thing that’s really nice about watching us play however the game’s going? I am never, ever worried when the other team get a corner. Before the jinx police get me, that’s not me saying we never or will never concede from corners...
I thought their press in the second half until Igor’s goal was quite impressive, and we lost the midfield battle for a while. But I was just never worried when the ball entered the final third. They’ve got the cutting edge of a blancmange.
Defended brilliantly albeit against one of the most toothless teams I’ve seen come here. Really quite poor second half until Thiago scored if we’re being honest – lost every duel and couldn’t hang onto the ball. But who cares, Thiago’s back, the...
All our failings at the moment are psychological. Lacking composure all over the pitch, whether it’s making the right final pass, taking care over that crucial first touch, not lashing out when provoked, not giving away pointless fouls when the...
The biggest worry for me at the moment isn’t so much the setbacks but how we’re reacting to them. It doesn’t seem to take much to send us into a complete tailspin.
Some great centre forwards have been late developers – Welbeck, Vardy etc. Just don’t think he should be written off quite yet. Plenty of other fans around the country right now are doing just that with Thiago, and we all know that to be b***ocks.
FWIW, I ruptured my Achilles on the weekend so won’t be able to stand at the Forest game and the ticket office were brilliant just now about finding me somewhere seated instead.
I’m aware this post is largely tongue-in-cheek but I do think there’ll come a day when Delap surprises a few people. He’s still raw and his ill-fated Chelsea move has clearly been a huge setback in his development, but I reckon there’s a player...
That there’s absolutely no mention of Fab in the team news article is either a good sign or an absolutely terrible one. Hope it’s the former and not an injury that gets the dreaded entire news article devoted to it.
