    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    If that is the case, then to me it's frankly ridiculous. I understand that it has taken Klopp, Pep and Arteta time to build their teams, what I don't understand is the willingness to put our current failings down to Ange carrying out all of the above while we lose 4 in a row, and fail to take a...

    As someone said we have at least a dozen players to shed before we get to Deki. Until a couple of months ago he was our biggest chance creator and the guy who covered more ground than any other player per match. He is off form but he produced a couple of bits of magic against Liverpool eg our...

    Left to fend for himself too often. Two good center backs and we cant keep a clean sheet. System breakdown.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    We've conceded 58 and are close to letting in 60 for the second season running. Until Ange fixes that we'll win nowt. It need to be in the mid 20's like the top 3. yet by all accounts we have good defenders. So where does the problem lie?

    There is another possibility - the system doesn't work. Maddison, Benta, Biss, Kulu, they all look poor. Watch the first couple of minutes and see Biss hit 3 or 4 short passes straight at opponents. Add to that Son who simply cannot keep the ball under pressure and Johnson, who loses the ball...

    What has Maddison done to earn so much credit. The guys form at Leicester was inconsistent at best. People saying Kulu cant pass have short memories. he is only 23/24, and while he has been relatively poor of late, that relates directly as to how he is being asked to play. When the Doc supported...

    Can't have 3 lightweights up top. Richie and Kulu have to play. Vic Romero Dragusin VDV Porro / Kulu Sarr Bentancur Kulu/GLC Werner / Johnson Richie Son Maddison is not in form. Lets see what Kulu, Benta and others can cretae.

    Have a look at the list of players who have created the most chances in the EPL, Kulu is still well placed, despite a recent dip in form. In addition he regularly covers more ground than anyone else during a game. The guy has played on both flanks, behind the striker, and once or twice he was...

    The problem with the current front 3 is their lack of ability in terms of playing with their back to goal, which is why opponents are able to win the ball and counter quickly. Johnson is poor defensively, and none of them press consistently or effectively. If Sonny gets challenged from behind he...

    Need someone to hold the ball up. The current front 3 can't.

    Match Threads West Ham vs Spurs

    Conceded the third lowest number of shots in 2024, only Arsenal and City have conceded less, probably because we keep the ball. United have copped the most. Makes me wonder how we are conceding so regularly, something ain't working. Liverpool have faced more attempts than we have.

    Juve Kulu, at the grand age of 20 won two honour's, scoring one goal and created another in one of the finals. He has created 55 chances this season, we've taken 3 of them. He is a creative CM. In less than a full season on loan at Parma he scored 9 and assisted a higher figure. He is 23 FFS...

    Ange stated that he took Kulu off because he kept playing centrally instead of staying wide. The strange thing is that we created two great chances and they both came from Kulu. Son hit both posts from the nudged pass he made, and Timo shot wide from his fine long ball. The system we are playing...

    IMO Kulu is wasted out wide, just look at his You Tube highlights at Parma, and his form at Juve where he picked up two honor's. City were very keen at one point. I've said it before professionals are coached to not give the ball away. Put in a poor cross or corner and you'll be back in your own...

    I think 3 of Kulu's goal's have been scored with his right foot. He often checks back onto his left when there is no clear target to aim at. He had no problem setting up Son on the weekend when Sonny checked back into space. He did the same thing against Palace, Sonny hit the post. Believe it or...

    What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 23/24

    Just before he was carded he crossed the ball, and we made a crucial clearance, the camera shows how Mc Ginn runs into central midfield, and runs parallel to Udogie. Suddenly, he runs about 10 metres, full tilt in our lad. The pace he ran at clearly indicated that he intended to to knock him...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Wolves

    In my earlier post before KO I said Biss should not be in the team ahead of Bentancur. Bissouma is a ball watcher. Decent player in certain circumstances, but nowhere near benta in terms of creativity, or goal scoring potential. Before injury last term Benta had a bout 6 goals and as many...

    Ange has already ruled out changing the system during his presser. I like the idea of 3-5-2 but I think it would be more effective if Porro and Udogie were fit. I hope Bentancur gets minutes because he is much more likely to create or score than Biss. We need goals and creativity, prior to his...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Ange has managed for over 20 years, other than his first job at Sth Melbourne in the NSL, 3 seasons is the max he stays anywhere. Unless he has great success next term, there is always a possibility that he will move on. He is 58 now, if he gets his message across and gets the players he wants...
