  • AneRu replied to the thread Ethan Wheatley.
    Liked the work ethic, hopefully we get to see more of him on the ball in the coming matches.
  • AneRu replied to the thread Kieran McKenna | Ipswich manager.
    In as much as the heart says feck it let's go for the brightest prospect and see how it goes the brain says we need an experienced head to see us through turbulent waters and solidify us in the top 4 and then get a bright prospect after a 3 year...
  • Comes up with the goals but his goals come at too much of a cost because surrender any form of control with him in midfield. Don't know what happened to him because ball winning used to be one of his key skills in a limited skills set. If we want...
  • AneRu replied to the thread Amad Diallo | 2023/24 Performances.
    Works harder off the ball, is a more assured passer and if game time had been invested in him early he would have come into his own become a more creative force. It's not like he is trying to displace prime Giggs and Ronaldo either, you can't...
  • OUT
  • It's difficult to know what actually happened but ETH took the team to their limits last season and burn out could be a factor.
  • AneRu replied to the thread Who replaces Ten Hag?.
    I don't think it's a question anyone looking to hire him has to trouble themselves with because a new specialist role has emerged in football specifically to assist managers on team building. If I remember correctly he was Vini Jr's big advocate...
  • Football is increasingly like level tech industry where there are a few individuals with skills desired by many rich employers. The distribution of these skills is just random, take for example Woodward being a fool is the reason why Klopp joined...
  • Because eventually you will need to be reasonable and be seen to be reasonable. These things have a way of coming back to haunt you when you least expect them to because everyone else watching and someone will remember and base their choice...
  • AneRu replied to the thread Who replaces Ten Hag?.
    Zidane is a long short by like a mile. But to think that Ashworth and Berrada are doing a Moyes, literally sitting on their laps rather than preparing for the biggest assignment of their lives is almost an insult to their professionalism. Yes...
  • Levy has always had CL designs, no way he was going to strengthen us at the potential expense of his side. This one was always a difficult one to pull off and it wouldn't have been beyond Levy to string us along all through the summer, a la Barca...
  • AneRu replied to the thread The left-back market….
    No we must cut the chord on Real Madrid cast offs, bring players in with an upside for once.
  • Truth, Casemiro looks done but he had no chance having to sprint 50m every few minutes. Wouldn't be surprised if a Juve or an Inter pick him up and squeeze four years of acceptable performances out of him.
  • AneRu replied to the thread Who replaces Ten Hag?.
    The authority a guy like Zidane would command in that dressing room is unrivalled and the fan base would worship him from day one. He doesn't have a set style but in his second albeit less successful spell he did win the La Liga in difficult...
  • It's madness. We all know that Rashford is the first player to let his head drop but put him in a semi functional team he delivers, push Bruno up the pitch he delivers. Ten Hag and the structure behind him failed to identify the striker Bruno and...
