Women’s football will keep improving but never to the level of beating men, nor should there be any need for that to be the barometer. Tennis is the shining example for what women’s football could become but it’ll take a long time of growth. Women’s tennis has had a very close level of exposure...

Doing it briefly when you’ve been subbed on against tired players is not the same. Did add bite that I’d not seen before against Liverpool though so it’s a positive.

Yeah it’s definitely the white handkerchiefs that do it. Not the fact that they are a well run club in a league where they pull in a disproportionate amount of tv money to their competitors with no state run clubs to compete with, in an attractive city to live in.

I’ve genuinely can’t see how he’ll ever fit into a Pep team. Every time I’m invested in a city game, ie vs us or Real the other day, I’m happy to see him come on. Sure he’ll have individual moments against shit teams like Luton I guess.

Yeah I definitely think a wider discussion about the tactics is one of the reasons why he needs to go. It just hasn’t worked and he should have changed it if he didn’t have the players. I just think the players got off far too lightly yesterday.

If we’re relying on the manager having to give specific tactical instructions to the players to defend a 3 goal lead against championship opposition, it tells you exactly what the problems are with this team. It’s not like Coventry had some kind of genius tactical shift that required specific...

Work rate and stamina. Garnacho has massively improved in that aspect this season, I don’t think ten hag is willing to pair Rashford with another player who isn’t really going to get up and down the pitch properly. I’m not saying that’s right or wrong, but it’s the only thing I can think of.

Christ, we have a midweek game :lol:

I have no idea what he’s doing at this point. He’s a complete shell of even that injured player under Ole. Obviously people will claim he’s always been shit, which is definitely not the case but he’s a worse player right now than the one that made his debut. He plays like he hates football and...

That’s been the case every time a manager gets sacked though. We bought in Casemiro and Varane who were supposed to be that. I’m at the point where I think it’s just so hard to know what’s going wrong without being on the inside. Ineos have a huge job as I don’t even know where they go with the...

He’s definitely had plenty of subs come on and win us games so that’s just the nature of substitutions. Eriksen played in midfield the whole of last year but I know what you mean. I don’t think he really had any midfield options, so if Mainoo was close to an injury, it is what it is.

Eriksen played deep most of last season, we just didn’t have a defensive player on the bench. If he felt Mainoo was on the edge of an injury, I’m not sure he could have done much else. I’d still think a midfield of Eriksen and McTominay should be able to see off a championship team with a two...

How is putting on Eriksen conceding possession and control? Isn’t that one of his best qualities. I don’t think the players he took off were playing particularly well. You’re starting a different conversation there. Im not defending his recruitment and nor do I want him here next season. Im...

So we take off a 19 year old kid for a danish international and that causes us to concede 3 goals to a championship team? He’s clearly not taking him off for tactical reasons. I’m bored of even coming across as defending him because I don’t want him here next season, but this squad, mentally...

He put on Danish and Brazilian international’s against a fecking Championship team, who were two of the most experienced players on our bench. There wasn’t some kind of massive tactical shift from Coventry. They attacked a bit more. You don’t need a change for that, the players need to take...
