    Yeah, it's a good point. I think my point was if our club could get some coaching stability like the boys had under Poch then we could perceive him very differently

    Mathys Tel

    He also works really hard. We had years of watching Sonny and Moura with no defensive smarts. Tel may not be at Sonny's level but if I'm a full-back I'd rather have him ahead of me in the tougher games. He's not scared to get stuck in. It's a strange comparison but in some ways he's like Dirk...

    Archie Gray

    I still think it's going to be a tough squad to make. The midfield options are Rice, Andersen, Hendo, Wharton, Scott, O'Reilly, Bellingham, Rogers, Foden, Mainoo, G-White. For me, you have to take Rice, Andersen and Wharton in Gray's position. If you take Gray as a 4th specialist then you have...

    Mathys Tel

    I do think the club have some big decisions regarding the attacking part of our squad in the summer. Muani goes back to his parent club and on balance I don't think we should be buying him. Richi has a year left and could easily leave. Obviously, we've already let Johnson go from the squad that...

    Xavi Simons

    I'm thinking that if I was in an opposition player I wouldn't want to play against Sarr. He has boundless energy and is in your face for the entire game. He stifles you in possession and he makes you chase him at pace when his team have the ball. I think it's easier to setup against Palhinha as...

    The Kids Are Alright AKA The Parents’ Thread

    Thanks. You won't go far wrong with a load of natural love and providing a trusted and safe environment. When my nieces visit, I always have off-limits rooms in the house available for them to hang out in. If the pressure builds on them, they can just debunk to their safe place. It's the same at...

    Pape Matar Sarr

    One assumption here is that it was Frank's choice. I very much doubt it was.

    The Kids Are Alright AKA The Parents’ Thread

    Such great posts. You clearly have practical experience and knowledge in this area. I can tell you get it. What I've also noticed is that you then have other neurodiversity like PDA where that child's autonomy works differently to typical. You can't even tell them to do anything really like...

    Micky van de Ven

    I still think Romero's biggest weakness is circumstantial. In the team he currently plays in he has to take too much responsibility and that leaves him unable to be a great defender. His body and mind is in that red zone in key moments in matches. Now stick Romero in a team with Ledders or Jan...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Atletico Madrid ***

    Our one big advantage is PL intensity. If we take our foot off the gas and just go through the motions then we end up in a pre-season paced game and will lose against their better players. If we treat it like a relegation scrap then I think you are right. We will probably prevail. The...

    AFCON 2025

    Your first paragraphs nails it for me. We live in a football world where the officials never have any consequences for their performances. You are spot on. The ref should have not let Senegal come back on and awarded the game 3-0 to Morocco. From what I remember reading, this entire tournament...

    +++OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool+++

    It's not even as complicated you make out. 2 hands in the back is a foul. All these incidences are fouls. You don't need a library. You just need the laws of the game. This is why Arsenal went public with their statement. On their example, it was absolutely clear that 2 hands were in the back...

    AFCON 2025

    I sit on both sides of the fence on this one. On paper, this is our governance bodies actually using the laws of the game for a change. Article 82 states that if a team refuses to play or leaves the ground before the end of regulation time without the referee's authorisation, it will be...

    I think all this goes away if VDV steps out on the pitch tomorrow night and has a stormer. We're obviously treating him as a senior player and leader. Food for thought that he's only 24. All his best years are ahead of him.

    +++OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool+++

    I think a lot of fans are now getting to where I've been for a very long time with PGMOL. It also runs all the way up to IFAB and FIFA. Ultimately, money was ring-fenced over 20 years ago to screen hundreds of officials up and down the country to make sure the best operate at the elite level...

    Callum Olusesi

    It certainly adds fuel to the fire of what happened last season and the debate whether kids should be used in a crisis. We had Olusesi on the bench for long periods during the injury crisis. I think he got 1 single minute in Germany as Ange persisted in sticking with his senior players even if...

    Igor the Departed

    Yeah, you're probably right but I'd love to have his throws in the mix. AM won't be ready for that.

    Igor the Departed

    Vic Spence, Danso, VDV, Souza Gray, Sarr Simons Muani, Solanke, Tel If Gray or Sarr are in the red zone then we might need Gallagher in the middle. No point going out on a whimper. An early goal for us would be interesting.

    Richarlison

    If we remember back to most of his time with us the other massive question was about being fit for selection. He was the perennial crock in our squad. I don't want to jinx it, but this season he has been pretty robust. These are his league mins 20/21 - 2872 (Everton) 21/22 - 2528 22/23 - 1008...

    I don't think Romero and Palhinha are back until the weekend anyway. Weds is a chance for VDV to redeem himself alongside Danso. I'd be bold and stick Spence and Souza as the full-backs and leave the Gray / Sarr combo together but only if they're not in the red zone. We need them for Forest more.
