    Even strikers aren't judged only on their finishing and goals. If you're scoring half a goal a game or more with some consistency that will make a decent argument for starting games regularly. Goals are hard to come by. That's regardless of position, but will typically be one of the attacking...

    Fully agreed. Increased competition now with Danso in and hope Romero and VdV manage to stay fit. But his return could open the door for a back 3 more often if Frank wants that. If he returns to the level he was at before his injury it will be good to have him back. And a good chance this...

    Will interesting to see what Frank does. Personally I hope we don't go too reactive/defensive. But could see Frank go for Sarr as the "10", Bentancur and Palhinha. Problem being what do we do with the ball when we have it. Assuming Kudus is back and fit we could always go for the "give it to...

    Defend really well, defend set pieces well, don't make stupid mistakes, Vicario having a good game, get a goal or two from a counter attack or set piece?

    Rankings like top 10, top 5, best in the world etc are difficult. I think Romero and VdV are good enough to be candidates to be in a conversation about being top 10 in the world, even if they're not actually in that list for most people. That's quite good. Our main issue with Romero and VdV has...

    Absolutely. From what I've heard the worst damage can be if a player gets another blow after not having sufficiently recovered. How we apparently dealt with few Vertonghen situation is a shame on the club, hopefully not to be repeated.

    Alternatively you're not as good at knowing what other people are implying as you think you are. I agree that Tel's development will be interesting to follow. To me he clearly has talent and seems to have the mentality. Has his weaknesses/shortcomings as well of course. I agree that we need...

    Richarlison

    But supporting Richarlison may help him perform better while he's here, no? If so wouldn't that be a good thing? Then the people in charge of transfers at the club can do their job and sign a player that is or has the potential to become a top player. Richarlison performing even somewhat...

    Richarlison

    So several things we agree on that we don't condone that have actually happened? I don't want us to adore him (like we did Kane or Son or Bale for example) Nor am I asking for a standing ovation for a 5/10 performance. Nor am I asking people to pretend that they think a player is good enough...

    Yeah. The Kane example is only one data point. I think that's rather obvious to everyone, including the poster who originally brought that up.

    Richarlison

    We're talking about different things I think. It's possible to support, actively support, without accepting mediocrity over time. Our support for or acceptance of a player doesn't impact our transfers business imo. But a lack of support and acceptance may impact the performance of a player...

    Very often with young unproven players who the manager seems reluctant to trust the answer is yes, they can do worse. Starting him against Arsenal would be an immense ask. Wouldn't mind Sarr there. But would prefer Richarlison. Sarr can win headers, but how would he do in physical duels...

    Richarlison

    Depends what we mean by support I guess. Enough has been written about what footballers experience on social media. Does supporting mean wanting him to do well or does it mean cheering him on, singing songs supporting him and the team? Does support mean booing the team off at half time? If the...

    Not for me, would start Richarlison. But I can see why the question gets raised. Frankly I struggle to see either of them getting much joy out of a start in that game. But Richarlison brings more physicality, experience and even with his weaknesses he's likely to be more of a presence in a game...

    Yeah, it's inevitable with Europe and if we don't go far in Europe/cups.
