    The "over achievement" thing is said by a few including ETH and pundits, but who were we meant to finish behind? Liverpool yes but otherwise who, so 4th was realistic and the over achievement was in terms of time line rather than the capacity of...

    It is not just where we are but how we are, the latter is unacceptable
  • Zed 101 replied to the thread Who replaces Ten Hag?.
    Completely subjective and unprovable either way, may opinion top 4 high probability, but either which way it is completely irrelevant to ETH this season Does something need to be done about the backroom of the club? absolutely and INEOS seem to...
  • Zed 101 replied to the thread Who replaces Ten Hag?.
    I understand your reasoning, however Southgate has done nothing to suggest that he can manage at club level, I am not saying he wouldn't have any success, but there is no real current information to base an assessment on, international management...
  • Whilst I understand what you are saying, I would circle back around to the big club mentality and how we are willing to accept mediocrity as fans.... name another top club where he would have kept his job?
  • Zed 101 replied to the thread Who replaces Ten Hag?.
    Well I guess that is based on how much belief you put in a subjective metrics as shown above.... that Tuchel is ranked as top 10 and ETH 7 tells me all I need to know about how accurate and useful this is based on the current season (not at all...

    Yeah but when you watch Klopp's Liverpool you could see the progress and potential, the problem was early days they were inconsistent, would have blips against some poor opposition but even when they were doing this there was something you could...
  • Zed 101 replied to the thread Post match vs Bournemouth.
    Objectively Bournmouth were the better team, playing better football than a team which cost probably 5x as much to assemble, it is a result but as with pretty much every result we have had this season (barring odd games) we were lucky to come...
  • Ten Hag: "It's very difficult [to keep changing back four]. So everyone who has a little bit of knowledge about football - a little - they know it will affect your results and performances." .... "So I think it best to expose the defence, I...
  • I agree with watching games not stats, ultimately both Bruno and Rashford offer either brilliance or disaster, which will get them the MotM when brilliant.... unfortunately we do not have a Worst Man of the Match to contrast, in the right system...
  • Zed 101 replied to the thread Minutes to teenagers….
    It is interesting and positive, what is particularly pleasing is that Garnacho and Mainoo have probably been our best players this season, like others have mentioned that is also worrying given the money we have spunked down the drain
  • West Ham are not finishing 5th or higher so it is kind of a moot point, and if they did almost certainly Villa or Spurs would be 6th and take the additional place, if we were talking about finishing on more points that Villa or Spurs (which is...
  • We would have players with 12 fingers
  • No but it isn't an either/or choice! As much as I want to see the back of ETH a return to LVG style possession (or prime Barca tiki taka) is one of the things that would probably having my switch to the ETH remain camp, besides one of the...
  • Unlikely, unless have a massive change in players that could keep possession that well, in addition our quick players are most effective with space to run into, we have been useless for several seasons at breaking down teams that sit deep, if we...
