He has adopted a style which is fast catching on though, i'm seeing many teams playing a similar style, watford yesterday for example, i think where many teams are different is they probably change it where required

Hes a defensive midfielder, not an inverted full back, his talent is running around and getting in the face of the opposition, not knowing when to come, when to get close, knowing whats around you, he just isn't ricardo, he's robbie savage

Not sure about that, they'll want that title of winners, but they know there place in first 11 is safe, thats more likely the issue

Just listened to when you're smiling on dog walk. Enzos post match interview worried me. Opening question. "What do you think went wrong today Enzo?" "I don't know, i need to look back and analyse it as we had many chances". "You only made 2 changes out of the 5, why was that?" "Because i thought all the players playing well, Abdul, Stephy, Wilf, all played well" I think these 2 answers tell you why we're having the problems we're having, especially embarrasing for Matty Fryatt who prior spent the whole podcast saying those players didnt have a good game and perhaps itd been better to change it. Every Pro i've heard on our losses or near losses are baffled by the Enzo way.

I think those in the game say even the best of strikers wont always score, so its up to the rest of the team to take the responsibility, and lets face it, Abdul and Mavididi were total doggo

I thought Vardy as an outfield player did well today, as a striker with the job putting ball in the net, he was doggo

A season in the PL even if relegated again would be far better than not getting promoted this season

You can only think it would be a season of championshp survival, but at least we'd know that the EFL has our best interests at heart

Vestegaard in no mans land aswell. Hamza is not a defender, we use him to fit Enzos system, instead of just changing the system to suit the players we have available

There is no doubt, Coady and Souttar could have done a decent job at this level

The scenes when we're 2 nil down in play- off semi against Cov and Enzo brings Vardy off for Nacho in his first change on the 85th minute.

Enzo - Hi Pep, it's Enzo..... Pep - Enzo who? Enzo - ????? Pep - Only kidding, what do you want Enzo, Kevin is about to give me a massage. Enzo - i'm in trouble Pep, think im gonna blow this promotion push, maybe i should play 4-4-2, or 3-5-2, we have great players gor that system, we have ricardo and Justin overlapping, connor could play in a back 3, nacho and vardy could do the job, what do you think? Pep - have faith Enzo, it isnt the system, its that the players arent playing it well enough, they'll get it eventually, exactly what i've told Vincent. Enzo - of course you're right boss, do you think i should make subs earlier? Pep - if those players cant play 90 minutes better than the opposition, then they need to get better Enzo - so wise boss, so wise.

I think teams know how to set up against us, congest the midfield, isolate the wingers, play on the break. They know we aren't going to change it

Gonna be toxic unless we're 2 nil up at half time

Seems like a cultish religion tbh, the faith of Pep ball. Kompany and Enzo both disciples. I doubt myself though, i shout for him to make changes, "cant you see 3 fresh pairs of legs could make the difference, like it did in first half of season", but then i say, surely Enzo knows more than i do, otherwise hed change it. Its something Ranieri did so well

This For me, ive saif this time and time again, we have the players, we just need to use them to create our best chance. If anyones gonna blow it, it'll be Enzos arrogance. The sky presenter had a sly dig at half time saying we have £95m on the bench, so why not use them when it appears we're flagging, it seems so obvious to me. Why not just bring Souttar on, or go 2 upfront, or just change players for extra energy like Praet.

Nope, we get a points deduction/transfer embargo and it actually gives him a free go at it, he keeps us up (if we go up), hes a hero, he fails and it'll be seen as there wasn't much he could do in the circumstances

I agree with a lot of what you say, or i did. I thought we blew CL both seasons for not strengthening in jan, and when we were looking for a manager, i thought benitez good for the club as hed steer top in football finance matters

We'd have minus points, maybe even a transfer embargo, possibly no fatawu, ndidi, yunus, vardy, albrighton, vestegaard. It would eclipse the great escape but its be better than being in the efl on minus points and an embargo

Yes get up and give it a go but with one eye on relegation and another promotion push with parachute

End of summer window, i was pretty angry we hadn't signed anyone, i thought as a result we'd get relegated, and i was right. Top issued a statement saying they were trying to adhere to PSR ffp rules and the future of the club. It seems despite this we probably broke psr anyway. The reason for this attempting to keep our European squad by paying them more than their worth, failing to make Europe left a £40m black hole, unable to sell on players without a large loss and our low finish 22/23 also cost us. Can anyone explain to me how this is the clubs fault? I think i was wrong to be angry summer 22, i just didnt believe what was happening, its clear now we are a unique cass, i cant see how this could have been forseen. Maybe theres something ive missed.

Its vile, so anti sport, very american, all about a fan being a customer (see Boehly)

yep, been trying to post a video but having no joy, it's so easy to see, we should be appealing the red card

Frame just before he trips himself up, wheres the foul? I cant see on video any contact. Doyle nearly pulls him with his arm but pulls back
