    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I'm not sure if it's been intentional, or if the players are trying to adapt on the pitch, but the way we are using the inverted wingbacks has changed massively from the start of the season. Earlier in the season udogie/porro where inverting and the CMs where pushing up into the box, or able...

    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    It's just so naive tactically from Ange, and if not stubbornness just downright idiotic to not look to rectify things. Every single game this season we get cut open by a long ball over the top, and yet we never adjust the line, or the way we set up to have more players around defensively...

    Bissouma, Madison and Johnson need hooked at half time or a massive rocket up the arse.

    I love gio as a player, but it makes sense as to why he's not being used if he's not gonna be here next season. It's a tough system to learn, and there's no point wasting the minutes on players Ange thinks aren't gonna be here next season. Gutting though, as always liked him as a player...

    Sin-bin trial plan recommended for professional games

    Like at the start of this year there was a big push on refs to yellow card players for dissent or crowding round them. That has dropped off as quickly as it came - the refs have absolutely no consistency, and bringing in a new law, will just make there even less consistency as it'll be one...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Brentford -

    How he was still on the pitch is beyond me. Numerous fouls and clear dissent on multiple separate occasions, plus a dive for good measure. Never really felt anything towards Brentford as a team, but they are a bunch of wankers. they where full of those dirty niggly fouls that can injure...

    PEH has made a huge difference in there. What a turn around.

    Antonio Nusa

    I know it's disappointing to not sign these types of players, but in all honesty, the amount that Brentford are paying for an 18yo with limited playing time is insane. Realistically we have bigger needs in the squad in CM and possibly CF, and we only have finite resources so would it have...

    Conor Gallagher

    Especially when you consider Chelsea are playing a double pivot, in Ange's team he'd be more like the player he was at palace in a CM3 being able to drive forward and make runs into the box. I never used to rate him, but unfortunately having to watch Chelsea due to the brother in law, he's...

    Ex-Player Watch Player Watch: Mousa Dembele

    As much as I love moussa (he's definitely top 5 at least) for me the best midfielders I've seen in my time have to be Carrick (such and underrated player) and then Modric by far and away the number one. Modric was just on a different level.

    Conor Gallagher

    Personally I like the way he plays, he leaves everything on the pitch, good leader, decent eye for a pass, good finishing from a midfielder. I appreciate he's got the PL experience and English tax on him, but think he ticks all the boxes for the way Ange sets up. Especially if we have...

    I'll hold my hands up here, I didn't think he was captain material, but fuck was I wrong. He leads from the front, the change to playing through the middle has really suited him in this system, and he steps up and is accountable. Love his reference to Harry in his interview, he's just such a...

    Don't even care about how he plays over the next month or so, just glad to see the guy back. Absolute Rolls Royce of a midfielder, does it all effortlessly, to the point it sometimes goes unnoticed. Just glad we are in a position we can ease him back in, build his fitness, and get him back...
