Everton home game would be a great and realistic time to see Thiago and Rico back and starting under the lights.

Excellent news. With likely/potential player losses in the summer it will be good if he could have a couple of months playing time this season.

I hope that’s expected back to make some meaningful impact and not a couple of cameos in the last 2 games ?

We managed without Ivan last season and without Thiago this season, we aren't going to break the bank on another one.

The trouble is I think teams have worked out that the way to beat us at home is just to sit back and hit us on the break. We'll be more effective away from home from now on and struggle at home.

Not sure why you got a dislike for that post. Seems a reasonable opinion to me.

We are replicating results in 2nd half of season apart from draw against Man City.
Not including Plymouth our home games have been against current top 6 teams plus Spurs, so not sure how many you expected us to win,

I'm not sure it's about home/away.
If the opposition have some quality/athletes, and get people back quickly, we're going to find it hard unless we're playing very very well, or they're playing a very high line.
Spence was very quick, enough to control Bryan most of the time, and only let him get a few balls in.
Schade didn't use his pace enough to get down the line.
In the middle we don't have a striker that's going to get on the end of things unless it's a break and he gets free in space (until Thiago is fit).
So Schade and Bryan are going to have to have outstanding games to get away from good fast full-backs and provide enough to our small few attackers in the box.
This is probably because of our over-reliance on the front three to do it on their own and improving things would mean more support from the full-backs or midfielders (either with their own risks of doing so if it doesn't break our way).
Spurs got the points, being more defensive, but the converse of that is that they were quite lucky to do so, not creating all that much, and we could just as easily have beaten the bigger team.

I think noting that free flowing Ange ball had to be changed because they were sh*t scared of us and got two goals against the run of play is a sort of moral victory, even if they won't openly admit it.

The good thing about this is that there's one less well resourced team seeking a new coach. At least for the time being.

I think you'll find that the trend will continue. We need a more physical centre forward to help us counter the deep lying defences that we're likely to face from now on.

I think it's likely that our opponents will play in a more aggressive way at home. That should give us more opportunities to get in behind their defences with our speedy forwards.

There's plenty of talk of Igor in the Kev thread, I didnt want to continue with Igor on that. So he's not out to Oct/Nov this year apparently says Mr Fruit .What is a more realistic time frame ?

Lovely footage just posted of a Brazilian Day lunch at the training ground hosted it seems by Igor. He looks happy and fit but to my untrained eye looks like he has lost a shedload of weight. No sign of Gustavo though in the film.

They've not all jetted off for a week in Dubai then, for a winter break/training camp??

Indeed he does seem to have lost weight. He looked definitely chunky around the stomach in the team photo a while ago.

Probably for us as fans the biggest frustration is not seeing more of Thiago, Bryan and Wissa together more with KS coming on. We all saw the damage they did against Newcastle at home and it would have been frightening for the opposition. Hope he can come back at least for a couple of months and help us push for that top 10 spot.
