No but those two golden boots do cloud his judgement many a time, and his team mates are beginning to demonstrate that frustration.
So who reckons Zaha will come to us for less than HK's wages because I can see an apple cart and it is going to get upset, big time ?
I don't give a damn what any other player thinks (or not) about Kane, he is the best goalscorer in the PL this decade and if those around him don't like it then Poch should ship em' out. A damn i don't give.
I didn't see a single instance of players demonstrating their frustration and any of them are quite welcome to step up to the plate and perform as good as him in the PL and CL.
Storm in a teacup, nothing to see here, now move along.
I guess he's looking forward tremendously to visiting Villa, Derby and Notts Forest next season, rather than testing his skills in the Champions League...
It's like this an Aussie Rules and NFL. In fact I can't think of another sport where stoppages and "time on" are left to an arbitrary referee glancing at his watch.It's a huge overreaction and I don't care but why on earth isn't the clock stopped when the ball is out of play or there is a stoppage? Reduce the game to 80 minutes.
So what you're saying is that we should replace most of our existing attacking players with players from other sides who have similar - or often lesser - output?Defensive players are not the reason we are not breaking down teams like West Brom.. Levy and Poch need to invest in pace in attack. Salah, Mane, Sane, Stirling, Martial, Batshauyi, Lacazette are the level of attacking we should be buying. They don't come to sit on the bench they come in to challenge the players we already have. We also need a player like Mahrez to challenge Eriksen who has looked off the pace recently.
And yes if Bale is fit I would 100% pay £80 million to get him back as he definately has the abilty to break down packed defences
Sissoko's 18?If only we had an exciting 18 year kid on bench. Someone with low centre gravity and great dribbling skills that can run at a packed defence
This, he made a great opportunity for himself late on, and any other day of the week he'd be curving it low into the bottom corner, but instead opted to side foot pass it through 2 or 3 defenders for Kane...yup! If anything Alli was a tad too deferential late on when he tried to pass instead of shooting!!
At WHL due to fact we were on fire teams looked terrified and that led to idiotic defending further helping us. The two big wins at Wembley against Liverpool and Dortmund (not suggesting we didn't deserve to win) were both aided by horrendous defending. We needed an early high scoring win at Wembley against one of the lower teams to scare and raise questions. Right now I'm more confident of scoring against Man City than say Brighton. We've got big issues and it's concerning.
Well that was shit ... and I'm only talking about the mobile network connection at Wembley.
Diabolical goal to concede that allowed WBA to waste time as they pleased. A miracle it took 82 mins for Foster to get booked. Ref must have deliberately waited so long so he knew he would'nt have to produce the red.
We as usual struggled to break down 10 defenders + GK. I'd rather play Aurier and Rose against teams that sit so deep because I feel they stretch play and try to move behind better than Trippier and Davies. A decent goal but we wasted so many good opportunities through dallying and allowing them to regain shape. Poor game from us.
That’s another issue all together which is a problem. If we limit who we target because we aren’t prepared to pay the going rate wages wise. How can we expect to improve?So who reckons Zaha will come to us for less than HK's wages because I can see an apple cart and it is going to get upset, big time ?
There is no magic formula for when to pass and when to be greedy. There are general rules like *give it to the best English striker of our generation unless you have a very good chance to score* but it's not a science. The key is respect between the players, even when bad decisions are made, including by Kane. Poch it seems is very good at cultivating this mutual respect - for example, all this stuff about the players eating together, and shaking hands with each other in the morning. As long as there's a good atmos within the squad, frustration on the pitch won't turn into animosity or - much worse - apathy.yup! If anything Alli was a tad too deferential late on when he tried to pass instead of shooting!!
Swear some of these teams aren't barely putting a foot wrong defensively. Understand we were complete and utter shite today but when these teams go to etihad they'll be blasting the football into each other's face, falling over and giving de bryne ten years to find an unmarked Sane. Definitely think these teams have sussed us out and feel comfortable and confident along with raising their game because it's Wembley.
