    (Brennan) Johnson Again Olé Olé!

    I feel like I wonder this quite often, but do our club employ some kind of sports psychologist, or have someone in the role of advising players on their mentality (besides Ange, obviously)? It seems to help most athletes who have utilized the services of a mental health professional (to use a...

    Son Heung-Min

    Each stat has to be looked at within the context that it's brought up. So maybe after half a season, if Son still has a goal-per-game, that would mean something. But yeah right now, it's pretty meaningless, especially considering the two teams we've played.

    Manor Solomon

    He should get some game time I'd imagine. Hopefully he can get through a tough season without getting injured.

    Wilson Odobert

    I'm glad Ange trusted him with a start. He seemed like a massive nuisance to Everton in that first half, so I'm pretty sure Ange felt vindicated in selecting him. I'm actually hoping he starts against Saudi Sportswashing Machine, too.

    Guglielmo Vicario

    I think someone else said the same in the Bergvall thread. Largely agree with that sentiment as new, young players should be eased into the team. I imagine Vicario probably told Bergvall it was something in the heat of the moment. Either way, I do think it's best for Vicario to try and be calm...

    Vicario let him have it lol. That is a true baptism.

    Putin & Russia

    There's liveuamap as well which is decent, but I find it's sometimes too cluttered and was also very slow-loading (seems rectified now). The guy running the google map I linked is some kind of academic or research fellow-type, not just an armchair redditor.

    Oliver Skipp

    Of course I'm wishing him all the best. I wanted him to be good for us but I get that injuries etc. might have derailed that. Deserves to play at the highest level even if it's not at the very peak.

    Wilson Odobert

    I think our new approach has way more value. Actually getting in young players with potential vs. literal bench fodder is something I've been wanting to see for a while now. I think the last time I got excited about a "big" signing was Rafa VdV from Real. I think one-offs like that can still...

    Putin & Russia

    In case anyone needs one, this is an excellent map that's updated regularly of the conflict: https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1lscRK6ehG0l2V-XvJ16nsyblMsQ&ll=51.30863164145994%2C34.99051123417736&z=10

    Jamie Donley

    I was responding to a comment about playing in the Championship vs. L1, so it's about the level he's playing at as well. Otherwise... yeah, stating the obvious.

    Jamie Donley

    I guess the positive is that theoretically, he'll be playing a lot of minutes there. I'm thinking he will definitely make them better.

    Yves Bissouma

    He definitely needs some perspective, ironically. I'm totally fine with Gray/Bergvall taking his spot, even Devine or another youth player would be good. If a player isn't hungry enough, it's their spot to lose and Ange needs to set the right example.

    Dominic Solanke

    It has :D It's a good watch for sure. I'm not someone who's followed Solanke too closely so it was a good crash course on what he could bring to the team. My only real question is how dependent Bournemouth were on Solanke. Obviously from all their send-offs and goodbye messages, it seems like...

    Pre Season 2024

    I am guessing Ange will probably not start too many youngsters again, despite them being more deserving IMO. Either way, this pre-season has been a testament to the youth team and their coaching staff. And I know Moore's birthday is on Sunday but that would be a real present to be given a start...

    Emerson Royal

    Had a few excellent games for us... almost became undroppable when Porro arrived but I think long-term, this is the best move for all involved. Wish him the best. Arrivederci Emerson.

    Lucas Bergvall

    Who do you think should be our starting midfield trio? You can watch the extended highlights to have some context of how the entire team is performing. Highlights are obviously hyper-focused, and I think if they show all of a player's touches, they can be useful for judging a performance...

    Pre Season 2024

    At the end of the day, the only person I can really blame is the manager as they're the one putting out the team. Just speaking for myself. Agreed regarding Maddison's early-season form, but I don't think he did himself any favors with the way he played when coming back from his injury. However...
