Adrenaline, passion and shouting ability. That’s one of the best non-compliments through gritted teeth I’ve ever read. Why do I get the feeling you’d have preferred it if he had a **** game? Do me a favor re hyperbole & Noble, you & others here constantly over-egging his game. You think he'...

Here's a question for ya, you know how you often say we get carved open down the middle defensively, how comes you always dig Noble out, yet the one person who's sole purpose of being in midfield for protecting our defence Rice, gets next to no flack at all? You always go for Noble but his job in m...

I thought he did a great job of rollicking non trackers, real rant like I'd hoped, but Haller/Antonio/Mas/Lanzini were the standouts for me. Adrenaline & passion carried him through on a very hot day, so respect due. We we're still cut through the middle though & with better finishing they c...

The lightweight middle needs either wing backs or pushing forward fullbacks to squeeze the middle closer together.

1-2
Haller Antonio

I just see him as average rather than outstanding as midfielders go. 100% He is from West Ham so he gets natural bias , he can't turn a game with ability or bring the necessary leadership we are rudderless with & without him. If he would give players a rollicking a bit more it might help in the...

The most worrying thing for me, although I agree the defensive organisation is appalling, The player's application to get behind the ball, press tackle and be in the faces of the opposition. We are very easy on the eye in possession, but seem to be going nowhere most of the time, is too much time o...

He's not a winger but his role is as a sort of Mane, but without the full set of clubs. He's just about the only one other than Haller who offers pace, a physical presence and a bit of ability to hold on to the ball under pressure. 100% Arguably our most effective player for the last 3yrs, 29 now &...

Change of formation 5 in midfield, dominate possession & get our creatives in the game. ---------------------------Fab ---------------------------Diop ------------Balbuena----------- Cardoso Fredricks ----------------Rice------------------Masuaku --------------Anderson----------- Fornals -------...

[quote=" BethnalGreenHammer74 If not Diop, then why don’t we try Cardoso in there alongside Rice? Turns to Stone It might work. But my issue is that this is not a new problem. It's not an issue caused by injuries. It's caused because of bad management and planning. This was a problem at home to...

Antonio is our X factor , always has been, he's the only 1 willing to run in behind to stretch/rough up defences, which creates more space for others to play. Our other midfielders don't have enough pace to support the final third, or in Anderson's case unwilling to run beyond magnet Haller to get s...

It is too early to be talking about must-win games, but I feel a comfortable victory against Brighton is key. I think if we can beat them comfortably, preferably by 3-0 or more, then it will lay a marker down and set the standard. A loss is pretty much unthinkable, as we have invested heavily and s...

Fab 6/10 felt his frustration when he wanted to catch City out by drop one quick 1 in behind, maybe the latest injury is to blame on his lapses. Fredricks 5/10 very good at covering CB's as last man, but crossing technique with time & space was woeful. Think with a decent run of games he will a...

Once again our problem is the midfield. Wilshire is not strong or aggressive enough to command and control our midfield. Taking Antonio off was a mistake as we need to bully these teams with almost unlimited resources. I'm really starting to fvkn hate Man City but I guess it's just our annual reali...

No 'Warrior' in midfield then take of Antonio our main warrior & leave a powder puff core, shout out to Snodders, who is a warrior (but slow)

Walker is a bully we needed Iron Mike to rough him up

Silva is quicker than Cress

Wish we kept Antonio on & Lanzini off, maybe contract issues affecting his effort

Lanzini needs more strength

Fredricks should play like Walker he has the same tools, but he's playing in a shell imo. We need our fullbacks going forward to squeeze our midfielders tighter together. Cresswell should be Wiley enough to get his body across Walkers path. Wilshire is half a yard off, although he still has had a fe...

Hot potato Fredricks
