Weghorst could have scored an easy chance but passed it back. When you have a hammer for a cutting edge, it usually costs you
How was mctominay bad when he was on for barely any time? Your bias is showing there.
He's awful though.
I wouldn't sign him but he was hardly the worst player today.
I guess the hope is that football will be much better next season. At the very least we will sign a striker and a midfielder, which should make the football much better. If it isn't, then he will get fired in the next 12 months.
This.
I reckon the new owners will install their own CEO and DOF to replace Arnold and Murtough. Depending on who the DOF is and their vision for the club, it could have an impact on ETH's future and job security, regardless of how well the results are going on the pitch.
Am hoping it was merely a best there was available with no money and an emergency loan mid season.
It seemed an odd time to take Martial off today.
He brought Weghorst on pretty much as soon as Moore came on for Bournemouth. His worry was probably the set piece threat that Moore provides them.
Which bias would that be?
The problem with this though, is that Wan Weghorst typically is very bad in the air. He loses more duels than pretty much everyone.
Why wouldn't you think this? Since Martial has built up his match fitness Weghorst has mostly just subbed. There is just no one else to play striker. If the budget to buy another player was there we'd probably have seen the club buy Gakpo and play him up top.
Last time I checked Ralf was on the phone with his mate in Russia, trying to figure out how to play out of a high press. He was a joke of a manager, always has been really.Hmm... So either one of those options is correct
a) You are not very good in reading comprehension
b) You have no clue what an extreme position is
c) You are the king of the snowflakes who considers somebody as extreme who is firmly behind the manager but doesn't consider the managers work this season as fantastic but "only" good to very good.
Very extreme. Shouldn't I be on your ignore-list by now? I would be inconsolable, if my negativity caused you a headache.
No one denied that the schedule has been crazy. But City is pretty close, right now on 55 games in comparison to our 58. Real Madrid is also on 56. The differences in the Prem are pretty hefty though, Arsenal currently is on 47, Brighton even on 42 while Liverpool sits on 50. But i guess thats the cost of going for a lot of competitions. Would have been even more important to try to rotate a little more if possible. The successful teams will always play a lot more.
Largely the same squad plus the ever awaited DM, the ever awaited RW and a pretty good CB plus Eriksen. One as an interim manager coming off a terrible start of the season with a team on the low. But yeah - everything is fine as long as we can assure ourselves that everybody who dares to doubt is a weirdo
The funny thing is that any Burnley fan will tell you Weigo isn't actually that good in the air for his height.
The only good thing the Rangnick period has going for it, is it allowed us to bring Ten Hag in. Rather than knee jerk Conte in, which many on here wanted.
Me too.
Not underrated around here.
Its also pretty regressive to bring on a player who offers nothing in open 0lay to defend set pieces against Bournemouth with 30 mins left. If we could keep the ba or score again we would be less likely to need to defend set pieces
Yup, there's also the fact that if we concede an equalizer while he's on the pitch, we've pretty much given up all hope of scoring another.
People said the same thing about the DDG renewal despite all signs pointing to the contrary. It appears to me that ETH genuinely rates Weghorst as an option, and I fully expect him to push for a permanent transfer this summer.
Martial certainly isn't going anywhere on that 250k a week deal.
