Who were you expecting to be on the bench that wasn't on the bench?

You should know better then to get into a discussion with those who worship at the feet of XG, its one of the saddest/ most useless stats in the game. People get so blinded by it they are convinced that is the best thing since sliced bread.
I miss the strappy paper thing on the nose that everyone use to wear to make them breathe better.

Imagine if we could effectively have swapped Doherty and Davies for Edouard as our final piece of summer business.

who else should have been on the bench?
Bishop
John Lacy
The backup striker....oh yeah ooops. [emoji28]

Luka Modric
If we had another Striker he'd be playing and Kane would be on the bench.
Bishop
John Lacy
Good job we don't have one of those then.
Finney Is Back

I agree with most of that and said the same thing about our play after the West Ham game.

I agree with the general jist of the article, but there's couple points i don't agrree on.
no point trying to get best out of Kane, he doesn't want to give it. I've seen several articles now with mention of the first three games and Kane, not one have them has mentioned that he did not play in those games.
Stop banging on about Eriksen and the hole he left. He's been away for two(?) years and his style isn't the only way. There is other ways to play and open up defences. Move on fgs!
Agree about ERiksen...but we do need a creator in attack
glasgowspur
Luka Modric
That should be our number one priority in the next two windows imho.
Then someone to replace Harry.
We are going nowhere until we can get a player to revolve around.

Decent article on Santo here: https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/fo...ar-solskjaer-nuno-espirito-santo-b963204.html

It could have done with a bit more context around timing of the managers … Ole has had time and shown NO progress
Nuno has had no time at all and people want him binned

Agree. But the
"inability to build a side based on the highly-structured possession football which is a staple of success at this level"
"a man trapped between the way he knows how to play and the way he is expected to play"
"Both squads are under-coached, less than the sum of their parts and reliant on individualism in the final third, so the contest may be decided by a series of individual battles, rather than grand tactical plans"
bits, which are most pertinent, are about his style/approach, not the amount of time he's had.
Santo has always been an organised defence, boot it up to flashy guys and see what they can do, type of coach. Much like his predecessor. If anything Solskjaer is fighting against Mourinho's legacy, while Santo is continuity of it (just coming from a much nicer guy).

Not really
The sample size is 9 league games here
You really are only commenting on his time at Wolves and not the other clubs he managed with your statements
I mean what you have described is NOT how he played in Spain for example

Be better if we had the question too with the answer
