That's a great record to have

Oles achievements are discussed with reference to getting the United job You're right in that people give more credit to achievements they're familiar with, but the situations aren't the same.

The drop off to Pereira/Lingard was a big problem last year. We either misjudged what kind of player vdb is or tried to kill 2 birds with one stone by getting backup for multiple positions. Then performances by Matic, Martial and others made the signing seem even more bizarre with hindsight...

That was pisspoor from henderson

Shaw fizzed that in and Pogba and Mctominay are stood waiting for the flag

Every squad in the world has 'deadwood'. The difference now is they're young(William/James/vdb), on short term contracts(Mata) or have a decent enough reputation(vdb). Our squad is being managed well.

Sutton is painful

Are there any decent studies on laterality of players and finishing? If the majority of keepers are stronger on their right, do statistics show more near post goals from left footed players cutting in from the right, than right footed from the left? And then the reverse for far post finishes?

Shaw is so good

Surely a broken foot there

I'd be tempted to put in an actual academy striker when Cavani isn't playing. The lack of presence in the box is so blatant. Cavani would have two by now

That's a stonewall penalty to be fair:lol:

:lol:

Loved seeing him struggle with Spurs but I hope he does well here. A successful Mourinho and Roma is good for the game.

Part of our terrible expenditure on players is due to penny pinching. Being proactive in the market saves you money in the long run. We sat on our hands whilst teams in the league signed the top talents in Europe and then we had to play catch up with reactionary signings.
