  1. Top 10 goalkeepers since 2000

    Just to give this thread something different, here are five non-obvious picks only from the Prem, not including the obvious Cech and VDS. Howard Fabianski Foster Hart Lloris I've based them on a combination of saves, pen saves, punches, claims, clearances, tackles, assists, clean sheets and...

  2. Aston Villa vs Manchester United

    Holy.....we just scored with a corner! A corner!

  3. Aston Villa vs Manchester United

    I knew it wasn't great but that's abysmal.

  4. Aston Villa vs Manchester United

    Villa looking pretty sharp with their passing

  5. Most two footed passers in the PL

    Inverted wingers yes, but not those who are so totally dependent on one foot, and I maintain that even an inverted typically shows more crossing capability. Case in point using your examples from the 22/23 season (when all four of them played): Player Minutes Crosses Minutes Per Cross Salah...

  6. Most two footed passers in the PL

    Why is Anthony a right winger if he can only place with his left foot? Surely that means he's better suited as a left winger or a left cf (winger as I don't see the goal scoring). No wonder we've never seen him in the corner.

  7. Great or well known players who never won a trophy

    Inspired by the Harry Kane thread, I was wondering who else in the present or past was known for being a pretty decent footballer, but surprisingly never won a trophy. Le Tissier came to mind (I think?) as one example. I only watched him when I was a kid, but I remember him being a magician on...

  8. Can we stop complaining until we see an actual ETH XI?

    I'll allow it

  9. Burnley vs Manchester United

    But on a positive note, we took a good corner. Which is maybe the first time in seven years?

  10. Can we stop complaining until we see an actual ETH XI?

    Yeah I should have been more specific - an ETH 'preferred' XI is really what I meant. A mixture of solid existing players and solid bought players playing with intensity in the managers system. We saw that for a few months last year before injuries and dramas but we didn't see it at the end of...

  11. Can we stop complaining until we see an actual ETH XI?

    I see a lot of posts on here moaning that we don't have an identity and our tactics are all over the place. I've never agreed, but I couldn't quite put it into words. I really 'enjoyed' this video, which made it pretty simple for me; the tactics are working, our players aren't. WHAT A SURPRISE...

  12. Where on the pitch do the best transition sequences start?

    That makes sense. Though based on our games so far, I've not seen that happen. Instead I've seen rapid counter attacking when our passing accuracy breaks down. Does this tactic really work within the quality of the Prem? Not many teams and players truly panic from what I've seen. Most are...

  13. Where on the pitch do the best transition sequences start?

    tl;dr High turnovers are bad. Agree/disagree? Where is best to turn over? Can we do it? Context I was watching a FourFourTwo video about Sofyan Amrabat and a stat came up about transitions and high turn overs. When I dug out the full table they were referencing, one of the things I found...
