Feck sake. Flicked over to Bayern vs Arsenal and missed the Valverde goal.

We definitely won't be in the CL next year, so he could play all the EL games and cup ties. Add that to the injury woes we have at the back, and he could easily play 20 odd games in a normal season as even 4th choice. He did well, but we haven't...

Fair enough. The only mitigating factor I can think of is availability of personnel and a potential for the recruitment of key players to make this all make sense. But if this is all by design, then I can't really understand it, nor is there any...

Me personally? No, I don't think the way we're setting up is adding enough net benefit in any sense to justify allowing every team free reign on our goal. But the root of the problem is clearly the gaps in midfield, which are caused by us...

Totally, and I have argued that exact point. But just in the spirit of playing devil's advocate, just wondering if anyone else is seeing the makings of something coming together? Upon reflection, I find it hard to believe EtH actively wants...

Always good to play devil's advocate on these debates. I would be happy to see the back of EtH and this bonkers way we play, but curious to understand does anyone see any positives in what we are doing? We've been on this endless cycle of hire...

He always goes on about us in his post match pressers, regardless of where they are in the table. Am sure EtH scribbled down what he said, just in case though.

The funniest is when they just start abusing each other. Every reasonable opinion gets blasted by frothing at the mouth conspiracy theorists. Great entertainment.

Think given it seems a natural follow through from passing the ball and there's not much force, probably right decision.

I'm not defending AWB, it was rash and stupid. But if you allow the opponent unimpeded entry into the 18 yard box, it's inevitable we'll concede pens. Dalot, AWB, Antony, doesn't matter who. Mistakes will be made if you're under constant barrage.

What are the positives to take out of the last three games? 7 points dropped from winning positions in the last 10 minutes, so we could be looking at a very different position in the table. Some of that EtH isn't to blame, but how he structures...

We're such a dangerous team in transition, which is a great asset because being able to counter punch when under the cosh is one of the most demoralising things you can to a team. If we could just build up pretty much everything else around...

It's not up to Elliot to avoid AWB's challenge. It was stupid and unnecessary.

Textbook Bruno. The good, the bad and the ugly.

Didn't do himself any harm today. Well done.
