    Been going back through the full Jesus & Mary Chain catalog for the first time in years. Every single song and album is/are excellent. They are responsible for so much good music we’ve enjoyed from other bands since the late 80’s but they don’t get their full due. Diving into Talk Talk next...

    Here's the Ronny one. It's even more ridiculous than I remembered... And the Josimar one... Plus one more from a beloved Argentinian...

    Reminded me of Ronaldinho (?) against England in the ‘02 WC

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    There is a reliance on the two #8s chipping in with 5-8 goals each in that system for sure. But if our top 3 scorers last season included a CB and loanee DM plus the fact we don’t have a fit #10 currently, what are our options? It all needs time to come together, as it did at BHA under RDZ...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Saudi Sportswashing Machine with Guimaraes, Tonali and Joelinton. Many pundits (for what their opinions are worth) commented on them having the best midfield three in the PL and none are a creative #10. It can work, especially now while we work on getting our real #10s back to full fitness. We have the wingers...

    Luka Vuskovic

    Exactly. They’ve been given chances but haven’t used them to stake their claim to starting every week. If you’re good enough, you’re old enough. Who would you drop to gift developmental minutes to Bergvall, Gray or Vuskovic? Tel is playing out of necessity but will be dropped to the bench...

    I forgot to add this to the thread earlier … Liam Delap is a disgrace to football. A talentless thug, gobby brick and all-round nasty p.o.s. Tried the same no-look, elbow first challenge on JVPH at least once which broke Spence’s jaw last time. Unsurprisingly the ref did nothing but the club...

    Dejan Kulusevski

    Having a fully-fit Deki back will make such a difference. He is effective where others lack the final touch or choose the wrong option.

    Mohammed Kudus

    Yep. Their Right Winger (Ndoye?) could easily have been sent off for two yellows in the first half.

    RDZ never had a creative #10 at BHA, but a fully cohesive team playing a system. That’s the part we need to be patient with.

    My Dad was always cracking jokes about the Purley (Pearly) Gates when we drove through there on our way home from London.

    Dejan Kulusevski

    He’s only 29 and has never been a 90-minute player for us anyways. Let’s not write his career off just yet. Also, he’s not the long-passing type nor is he even close to being a sufficient defender to play in the Pirlo-role. In the few cameos he’s provided since his return he has instantly...

    I can see Marmoush lining up on the left but in actuality playing inside off Solanke with Robbo providing the width when in attack. Players aren’t positions. Their responsibilities in and out of possession are more accurate measures of their roles. For instance, Madders, Marmoush and Gallagher...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    If you do play that, you need a solid midfield duo behind them and the wingers being diligent in tracking back. But agree it would be fun to watch. One of my gripes last season has been the insistence on playing 4-2-3-1 when we don’t have the wide men to make it work. Tel, RKM and now Marmoush...

    Madders had a shoulder injury, not a setback to recovery from his ACL injury. Hopefully back in the squad for next weekend. Let’s also remember he’s never been a 90-minute player for us. I expect Kulu to make the bench by the end of the month, and start getting regular gametime (not starting)...

    I don’t think Marmoush is a traditional #10 like Madders. He’s more of a second striker-type.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    The lack of a #10 who can link midfield and attack is what we are sorely missing. Once Madders and Kulu are back I think we will start to see what this team can be. Overall, we dominated the majority of the game at a notoriously difficult ground for us. We weren’t great but were solid and...

    He made a through-ball pass inside their wing-back which Tel was very close to connecting for a clean run on goal in the first-half, a pass I haven’t seen him play before. But you’re right in that he hasn't kicked on in the past few seasons. But then who has?
