We can spend it on renewing Soumare and Faes' contracts
-
Could be worse, we could be losing 2-0 at gome to Nathan Jones
-
Monga delicious. Soumare
-
I was worried he was gonna take Soumare off. We're all good

Good job these are doggo in front of goal

If Daka wasn't wearing ice skates tonight he'd be doing alright

I wish someone in the media would just ask if he's injured. He's not playing in the 21s or making first team squads. Something must be up with the lad.

Might as well be to be fair

That's where having high performing players from the Academy on the bench would be beneficial. At the very least you know they're going to bring much needed energy and a desire to impress.

Premier League 2025/26 Thread

I love how they mentioned global in both job titles and the gaffer ended up being a free agent that lives in the city -
Expecting a draw, but wouldn't be shocked if hull won or if we did another Man U and won with a worldie. Ricardo I assume doesn't start and James looks a bit fatigued from international duty. Teams must be looking at us a realising how we can be got at. The fact that regardless of opposition, every game feels like a 50/50 isn't great.

We only really look decent when the opposition sit off and give us too much respect, even then, we aren't actually creating much, we just have possession on the edge of their final third. The only time we look genuinely dangerous is when our backs are against the wall and the players are in attack mode. The style of play is fairly easy to combat and there's very little for the opposition to think about. We give them plenty of time to get into shape and then all they do is clog up with width of the box then wait for us to make a mistake or pass it out wide and hope a winger can either smash one in or pick out the 2 or 3 people in the box who are against 4 or 5 defenders. When we're chasing a goal, the ball goes forwards much quicker and we put men into the box. We need to remove that fear of not having possession. Man for man we're better than a lot of these teams, but we neuter ourselves by playing into the oppositions hands. Most are more than happy to sit in and hit us on the counter. Without wanting to sound like a dinosaur, a lot of possession obsessed teams really complicate and stifle what is a simple game. That's not to say that everytime you get the ball it needs to be treated like a hot potato and launched. But equally, every time you get the ball your thought should be how quickly can we get up bodies up the field and attack. Our seems to be, let's pass it around until everyone is in their pre-defined position and then play laborious passing sequences while the other team get everyone back.

It wont happen as its not Marti's style, but a man can dream We do stuff like that when were desperate to score at the end of games. Would be good if we could take that tempo and desire into the first 80
-
Just observing that you were giving it the biggun about being loud during 2 of our most successful seasons It'd have carried far more weight if you'd said you giving it the beans between 2005-2007. I appreciate the compliment though
-
I'd kill for actual ambition to attack out wide rather than funnel everything into the middle of the park at walking pace, then passing to Abdul or Monga and hoping they can beat 2 or 3 men and create something out of nothing.
-
So both seasons we were champions, probably not the best examples to be fair
-
If Hull don't waste a half treating us like PSG then they'll have a decent chance, that is assuming we continue to play the same way.

Aside from the big chances missed column, which isn't as important as possession or passes. Spot on to be fair. When the other team comes with no intention to play for 45 mins, most stays should see our way -
