I wouldn’t worry, Spurs will bring the poisonous egos back in at centre half as soon as they can and be back to where they were.  I’m not really sure them getting a point is a sign of anything. Certainly doesn’t change the dynamic for us, and it does also mean they keep the coach and don’t get a gen...

Incredible how well he is playing. Absolute warrior, and if I had to pick now, he'd be my HOTY, Fernandes & Summerville are superb, but this lad sticks everything on the line for the cause. If we stay up, and sign Disasi, that is 3 top draw centre backs, arguably as good a combo as any in the l...

I think you always need a no nonsense centre half. Head in the way of everything. Collins, Dawson etc. Complimented by a classy, ball playing partner - Ogbonna and others. Mavro is the former to Disasi and Todibo the latter.  What is Kilman? He should go back to playing Futsal. Quite how Potter didn...

Apart from the set piece nonsense, I feared playing these more than Arsenal. Arsenal are looking blunt in everything but cheating set pieces, and I thought we defended them superbly yesterday. We should go into the rest of the fixtures full of confidence.  I’m convinced Disasi must be Chelsea’s best...

What I like about Hermansen is he catches when he can and takes all the pressure off. For Areola’s shot stopping brilliance, he loves a punch that just keeps us under the cosh 9 times out of 10. 

 

Earlier in the season I called Todibo all sorts. My word, he looks like a Rolls Royce since Nuno got hold of him. Three exceptional centre halfs out there tonight. Dinos has had much stick “the greek tragedy” I remember people calling him. The bloke is an absolute warrior, not a tragedy.  That is so...

I’m afraid Magassa is woeful

Is Magassa trying to be this shit? Fucking hell. I’d sub him. 

Kante seems to be streets ahead of Magassa

I always think in these situations just win your games and let the rest sort itself out rather than desperately looking at other results. Sure, it’s annoying City can’t beat Forest at home, but it’s now a 4 horse race. We’re all going to drop points, hopefully we drop less, or, worst case, get and k...

This plank was desperate to give that and had to embarrassingly admit publicly he got it the wrong way around for 5 yards away

We had a penalty against us against Newcastle last season for just happened to Fernandes.

We can’t afford to be two up top and a man short in midfield here. Suicide tactics, and making us have to go long and bypass midfield. 

“Lower profit from player sales”

If your busy model relies on selling an academy product for £100m+ every season, you’re not fit for purpose.

I work with public market companies. This sort of announcement would undoubtedly lead to a change in CEO and shareholders wanting proper answers. 

Kilman was his usual nervous, timid self against shit opposition. I would feel sorry him, but he cost £40m+ and picks up an obscene wage for someone scared of his own shadow.  Taty was more his 38 minutes than Wilson in his 110. He is far from perfect, but his mobility and movement is exactly why he...

I see having Ward-Prowse starting was beneficial for Burnley against Mansfield

What’s worse is he’a a few yards away and sees it clearly!

What is Hoddle rambling on about. It’s not a red at any level of football. 

How embarrassing from the ref. Changing his mind on some League One cloggers demanding it. That gets overturned and that lemon ref gets a ticking off from his bosses. Idiot. 

I don’t think Traore is even good at what he’s meant to be good at. Running fast, bulldozing his way through people.  He’s shit. As I’ve always thought. 

Cor this is drab. Some of these fringe players just aren’t good enough. Magassa after some early promise I’m really not sure about. 

Kilman even looks out of touch at this level. 

Those last 5 games make you wonder what on earth happened in those Christmas fixtures and Wolves. Is it just a new coach? Or just having Argie running tirelessly up front? Too little too late, maybe.  I’ve long thought that shocking offside decision vs Forest is going to be pivotal.  But greenshoots...

7 minutes is scandalous. Fucking joke. 

 

Probably unpopular but Wilson yesterday for me showed why he should be the one coming on, not starting. He doesn’t have the legs anymore for a starting role. Let Pablo and Taty tire defenders with constant running and bring Wilson on for 30 minutes when it’s easier to find space.

I was critical of the keeper change, but in fairness, he is a very composed keeper despite his previous form. Fair play to him. Still looks a bit small but will probably make less errors than Areola even if he doesn’t make as many unexpected world class saves.  Fernandes is absolutely class. He’s th...

Utterly bizarre again, bringing Hermansen in. Areola isn’t perfect but is guaranteed to make a worldy a game. 

Start your best Premier League Striker if we want any chance of staying up. We continue to make it needlessly harder for ourselves this season. 4 Premier League games and neither of the new Strikers have a single goal or assist between them and they did not come cheap. Sure they work hard, but that...
