    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    And Postecoglou has beaten him 0% of the time, and it's not like we haven't had luck on our end - remember Raya's pass straight to Romero last season? They were missing half a dozen players for this game iirc (Odegaard, Merino, Calafiori, Rice) - the only one missing on our end was Bissouma...

    Cristian Romero

    Yep. Check Page 104. That's what Tom Barclay is talking about above - some clubs fly players back post-international breaks at their own expense, to get them fit, give them more rest, etc. We generally don't. Romero is complaining that he had to organise a flight back home himself, and that...

    Cristian Romero

    Like I said, attention to details, the little things. An extra day of recovery at the training ground, an extra few hours at home...these things make a difference. We generally don't do these things, and in my time, *generally* (lots of caveats) never have.

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    It's not just social media. Media themselves are starting to ask hard questions and make unflattering comparisons that were largely suppressed last season because of the 'lost Kane, new style, needs time to adapt' factors. He's gotten away with vibes so far, but for his own sake, he needs to...

    If that's the case, he's been in dreamland since game 10 last season. :p

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Think it's a language thing. I just interpret it as consistently beating someone, which Arteta does to Postecoglou. Didn't mean to imply we get battered, which we largely don't outside of that first half at home last season.

    Believe me, it is mate. I get it out of my system and then I'm unburdened and serene until the next weekend. ;) Anyway, don't see what's got you hot and bothered - I'm just giving examples to show why Romero's insinuation of unprofessionalism at the club doesn't surprise me. Fits a pattern.

    Played 3, won 0. Two of those games at home, which have contributed to us losing three straight games at home to them for the first time since 1987 - not even in the 2000's when that lot were winning the league unbeaten, did that happen. Yeah, I 'd say Arteta wipes the floor with him mate...

    Typed it out mate. :p Thinking about it, didn't even get through everything - I could go into detail on Levy insisting on micromanaging every part of the stadium project himself and burning himself out as a result, the shambles on the commercial side as our commercial income remains below-par...

    I don't find it hard to believe at all mate. Remember, we're the club that once made players take Ryanair to save on plane tickets. Think we even made Soldado take a Ryanair flight over to sign for us, after paying 26m for him. Before the new training ground, we used to have no professional...

    *** OMT: Mighty Spurs vs Scum ***

    He's not a good lone striker. But Postecoglou has not yet tried to pair him with a physically dominant striker to see what he can do, and to me it's baffling because that is the role he excelled in when playing with Harry. But, of course, that would mean a change in formation to play him with...

    https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/sep/15/set-piece-goal-part-of-mania-for-detail-that-separates-arsenal-from-spurs There's a growing narrative that the reason Arteta wipes the floor with Postecoglou is because he focuses on the minute details essential to winning in the league, while...

    Cristian Romero

    Like I said, players look better in better teams. When you have Mbappe, Vinicius, Rodrygo and whomever else attacking the other side, players like Romero can look magnificent because they don't have to defend as much - other teams are too scared of that front three to get after Madrid. Romero...

    Johan Lange - Technical Director

    I'll say one thing about this guy - I get the feeling he was hired more because Levy likes the way he works than for any intrinsic talent at building a team. Freely admit it's just a hunch on my end, but the signs are there, imo. There was a moment under Paratici where I felt we were breaking...

    Romero liking, and then unliking, a tweet by Argentine journalist Gaston Edul claiming the reason we lost is because we don't work in a detailed way like other clubs apparently do - with the proof being offered being that Romero apparently had to arrange his own flight back home after...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    I don't think so. It's the invincibility of youth - you don't tend to get as down about things, and there's an optimism about the future that allows you to overcome setbacks. Even if things go tits up, playing regularly will help them far more than if we meander along (like now) and they only...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Not for me. He doesn't offer enough attacking-wise to make up for his defensive weaknesses, which he hasn't really rectified. He's fine as the wing-back in a side with a somewhat lower line. He might even excel there - if he's given license to cross from out wide with a three man backline...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Agreed. He really needs to do a Poch and just unleash Bergvall, Gray, Spence, Moore et al for a few games. Even if they don't do well, they offer energy and bravery, and we need both. Poch got time in part because he threw Mason, Bentaleb, Rose and Harry into the mix in his first season, giving...

    Set Pieces

    Think he's a better shot-stopper, but Raya is a better commander of his box. On playing out from the back, think they're both roughly even - ditto when it comes to sweeping.
