Isn't there a code of conduct baked into the contracts both players and the club sign, that translate what the club values into the actions players should take and should not infringe upon, that clearly outlines the commitment to honest and ethical behavior, acting with integrity, and complying...

Pardon? There’s nothing to be decided about Greenwood- he’s done at this club, forever. The one thing that this club doesn’t need besides dropping points: PR hits. From the long drawn out sale/no sale, to the Greenwood ordeal and mismanagement of that situation, to Sancho, now Antony. At some...

Good catch. I should’ve customized my Bobby Knight parody rant with hehs after every sentence :lol:

Pretty sure this is how the conversation went between Sancho and ETH after the Arsenal game: Sancho: “We in here talking about practice. I mean, listen, we talking about practice. Not a game. Not a game. Not a game. We talking about practice. Not a game. Not the game that I go out there and die...

ETH inherited Sancho, whereas he clearly favors the strong, pacy, defensive minded type. If we could just stop the revolving door of recruiting approaches and coaches we could build off of past and present talent. I wouldn’t want to go on a tangent, but he needs to fix that midfield if he wants...

Does the sample apply to both? Last year yes, this year no. Last year they were pretty comparable metrics wise, and equally putrid output wise. This year Antony has had far more opportunity to show what he can do and create going forward, meanwhile Sancho hasn’t. All that said, you’re right. If...

This is probably a marriage that needs to end. On one hand, Sancho has made 58 appearances, but only 15 of those have been for 90 minutes. He’s looking at the team performances and thinking how shocking it all is (poor performances throughout, Antony has been ineffective, why doesn’t he get a...

No midfield, no control of the ball. We spend all match chasing the possession and defending, dead legs in the end. Our forwards can’t do anything without anyone feeding them the ball. It’s the ever present issue and wasn’t addressed in the window. Also, this team is held together by band...

Not quite about Casemiro. But that aside, you’re spot on- this is exactly why we needed a class #8, and none of the shit we brought Mount in for.

In my opinion, it depends on the pairings: * Two attacking 8s (Bruno and Mount) and single pivot (Casemiro or Amrabat)? 5/10 * An attacking midfielder (Bruno or Mount), a ball carrying 8 (Eriksen) with a DM (Casemiro or Amrabat)? 7/10 * An attacking midfielder (Bruno or Mount), a pressing 8...

Or maybe #9, with Martial changing to #0.09 (his xG and fitness probability)? :D

Read on the interwebs Hojlund will start Sunday @ Emirates. Is this for real? Does he even have a number? (Garnacho took #17).
