How a team in the EPL can let in so many simple cutback goals is genuinely beyond me. It’s fecking embarrassing

Why? There would be 0 benefit. Might as well do it at the end of the season with a full plan in place. A caretaker is not going to be any more likely to get us anything meaningful this season.

well, his parents were abducted and their lives were in danger. I don’t know about you but that would rattle me pretty hard.

The new owners have said multiple times that this is a 2-3 year plan. Anyone expecting everything to get done in 1 summer will definitely be disappointed

Sure, but you don’t build a stronger team by replacing your best players by better players when you have other areas of the pitch that don’t even have a single decent option. Like I’m not even sure if we had a single natural right winger that summer. I know Jadon can play on the right, but his...

I wish they pressed him more on the Sancho signing. He said both him and the club really wanted Sancho, but also admits that Jadon prefers playing on the left, like Rashford. We were crying out for a right winger that summer, and they spent 80m on someone who would essentially compete with...

something similar happened before and ETH explained that because the team had already prepared for the game in a very specific way, he’d rather have 1 player out of position than 2. Meaning this game we could very well see Dalot on the left as they would have the option of preparing like that...

Oh for sure, got caught out of position directly leading to goals more than once, poor passes etc.

And it was an utter disaster.

Extremely important win. It wasn’t pretty at all times but we got it done and that’s all that will be remembered. Well done

Fantastic game by everyone. Such a pleasure to see and a great setup for villa away. Beat them and we can really look forward to gaining places the rest of the season

I’m pretty sure ETH said he’d be back yeah

Yeah I found it really odd as well. Ten Hag didn’t really say anything extreme at all. I’m in the ETH out camp but I really can’t fault him for the way he has handled Sancho. The guy has been literally useless under 2 managers and has the nerve to complain when he evidently doesn’t perform to...

No he didn’t. Ten hag said other players had a higher level than Sancho in training that week, which is why he didn’t get picked. It simply means someone else worked harder than you, not that you didn’t work hard.

I don’t mean day to day performance, I mean merit. Such as not giving 250k to a 20yr old with 1 good season
