This would be my preferred pairing too, notwithstanding any additions to the squad.

Because we won a cup that victory exposed how unprepared we were for the extra games that spun off of it. The league this season still has to settle down, a team can jump from mid table to top 4 with a couple of wins, conversely it works in the other direction too, hence I think we will end up...

"I think if you play the first time in your history European football you should invest and not save." On the level no BS hard truth.

Alternatively he's lining up his January Liverpool move with Guehi in tow...

It could be OG's way of saying to Parish "We need to sign in January, look how it's gone despite all best efforts".

I said previously that we need a player in the mould of Geoff Thomas with the shot of Darren Ambrose, which is a lot to ask . Nevertheless I think an experienced midfielder who can help guide Wharton would be beneficial. We don't command the central areas and Kamada and Pino are lightweight...

I like JP. In the end analysis he reminds me a bit of Emile Heskey, big and strong, hard working, yet not as clinical as might be possible. This is an honest appraisal, he brings a lot to the side. The schedule of games has proved what many said at the beginning of the season; we don't have the...

Although JPM is a firm fan favourite, truth to tell, he is a bit of a donkey, and an overworked donkey at that. His skill set is no different from Roy's days, and the missed chances are proving costly. But as you mention, what other choice does Glasner have? Eddie Nketiah does very little in the...

All I can surmise is that this side currently can only play effectively with effort for one half, usually the first half. Reasons? Too many games for size of squad, lack of rotation by manager, no plan B, certain players not up to scratch. It's unlikely to improve in the short term because the...

It certainly appears this way.

A game lasts 90 minutes plus. We've done very little this second half, the same as in Strasbourg. Glasner reminds me of Roy at times, leaves it to late, doesn't trust his bench. Saying that, here comes Uche...

Although it has done us well, I think Glasner's system is starting to be found out. It's either balls knocked into JPM or Munoz as an outlet wide, it's predictable and Pino and Kamada don't do enough carrying to make a difference. With Sarr off and the keen but hapless Eddie Nketiah on, it...

That showed character, well done JP!

I mentioned before that Glasner's system means Mateta is the focal point up front, balls are knocked into him primarily. As long as this is the case, one has to be patient with Mateta and appreciate what else he brings to the system other than goals. But for how long? A striker should put away...

I was thinking that for the one on one training sessions an apparatus that has an open armed mannequin mounted on a motorised boom which rolls back and forth on a light gauge track would be most useful - this system is much used in the film industry, first notably by Stanley Kubrick in "The...

Odsonne Edouard. Just as likely to return as Wilfried Zaha. 5 goals in 9 games for his new club Lens so far.

Just.... no. Imagine him in the dressing room, moody as f***, thinking he's the saviour. Jesus.

Ifs buts and may haves, but we didn't and therein lies the problem.

Yes and if the universe were to align in our favour we would absolutely thump some poor unsuspecting team by a large margin.

In the final analysis it should be acknowledged that we missed so many chances to put the game beyond the opposition, irrespective of how well we did or didn't play. And it's not a one off, it keeps happening. Anyone who has played one a full size pitch knows that missing a full size empty goal...
