    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    I think you would probably see then that some people are not just using xG(A) as a data point in the bigger equation. Some people are making xG(A) the bible that all arguments are formed from. It's no doubt a phase that the football world will pass through like all the others.

    Mathys Tel

    Yeah, sort of agree with that. I'd probably throw Odo in the same bucket as Tel as well. Where my head is at though is as much to do with Muani. I'm frustrated that these 4 lads are giving us such a great attitude and work rate and he is often getting selected ahead of the 2 of them. We all...

    Andy Robertson

    I don't think it is resale value but can see why that's the label that has been given. The way I think about it is more about the balance sheet value. Robbo is in his last 6 months of contract at Pool. He's running his contract down to become a free agent in the summer. Therefore his transfer...

    Mathys Tel

    I think he will start but I also agree that he should be very unhappy if he doesn't. The timing would be interesting as well with a week to go in the transfer market.

    Andy Robertson

    The big question mark is whether Robbo has adjusted his games based on his age. If in his head he thinks he can still be up and down all the time then we won't see great performances from him. In that scenario we might see some great moments, and other moments where other players need to cover...

    Transfer thread

    Here's the challenge. At 28, why would Henry sign an 18 month deals when other clubs would offer him a 3-4 year deal? Personally, I think we'd need to offer him a 3 1/2 year deal to get him interested.

    Transfer thread

    The voice of reason. There was a clear reason why Pool bought Kirkez. Robertson wants to play and I'm not sure that he gets in ahead of Udogie. If we're going for an older head then go with Rico Henry. He's 28 and out of contract in June. That's the age you need if you already have 2 young...

    Ouch, not like you to be the pessimist. I'm at a loss now who to turn to for inspiration.

    And to me it is progress, because when you sort the defence that is when magic happens in attack. Take Poch for example: 14/15 For 58 Against 53 (5th) 15/16 For 69 Against 39 (3rd) 16/17 For 86 Against 26 (2nd) In this example the "goals against" halves and the "goals for" grows by 50%. In...

    lol - until you look at the table like I just have. They've conceded 42 in 22 games and only scored 23. Welcome to the Prem right?

    25/26 Injury and illness thread

    Yeah, it's a great call. The only thing I don't know is what (or can remember from playing days) is what the cycle of recovery looks like. I do remember a phase where the ankle looks a whole lot worse than it actually is. That is where the bruising colouration drops but the swelling is still...

    All I remember is how tight they were at the back last season in the Championship. Didn't they set records for clean sheets / goals conceded etc? I bet the PL has been a rude awakening though.

    25/26 Injury and illness thread

    Agreed, and to me the available squad looks balanced. There should be enough players in each position to create some competition for places and therefore performances. Perhaps the exception is Xavi where it would be great to have Kulu back in the mix. Then there is the unknown quantity in Souza...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    You may have missed my point. If you take the goals conceded in the first 10 games and then look at the second 10 games it's gone up considerably. So you did a linear extrapolation and come up with 50 goals. I've done the same thing myself earlier in the season and come up with 45 goals which...

    I was assuming Craig wouldn't be considered for the PL HG quotas. However, I was assuming that we could just name him in the UEFA squad as club trained and that wouldn't impact any other player in the squad. He can't go in List B as he's now too old. We are short of club trained and have gone in...

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Burnlio, Sat Jan 24th, 3pm***

    This is such an important fixture but I'm less worried about tired legs. We'll be playing on a Tues-Sat-Weds-Sun schedule. The Tues game was at home so all the players were probably tucked up in their own beds. They then had recovery and training until Saturday. We then switch to the Weds for...

    The problem I have with all these new stats is that they're not balanced versus the optics of knowing football and watching the game. Basicaly, what @parklane1 said above. First of all, football is about not conceding goals and scoring more than the opposition. I never hear our fans talking...

    I would say that's pretty good actually.

    Souza

    Intrigued to know whether this is a player who can make a difference in the second half of this season or whether he's still a way away from having a first team impact. I welcome him either way of course.
