  • There can't be a single attribute a new manager needs to have we can get a manager with a good system and style of play..... this will be nothing and they will fail if the person doesnt have the charisma and personality to handle the job and...
  • I looked like it
  • How's Gomes played?
  • thought exactly the same myself basically playing a version of himself on speed such a prick
  • kinda enjoying going into games with a slightly morbid curiosity about what we will see nothing to play for really Hojlund is due a goal
  • Dalot is our most improved player this season and (Chelsea aside) he's very rarely not performed well - still not sure why Ten Hag played him on the left. silly to compare him with the likes of Garnacho who is younger and at a less advanced...
  • embrace the chaos a midfield 3 of him, Mainoo and Bruno with Mainoo deep and Mount/Bruno showing some discipline

  • what has pleased you about the Mount signing? could the 55m or whatever have been spent better?
  • I agree with you - I was just replying to a poster that he has persisted with a flawed pressing style perhaps instead of Mount he might have bought a quick reliable CB or a quick DM Amrabat baffles me also - the guy isn't anywhere near quick...
  • he has played that style of football - the issue is that we don't have quick defenders so we have to play a lower defensive line. this is why we are so vacant in midfield and easy to run through. Not sure where to find any recent stats...
