The Doctor

he's not even using Marescas system, he's just inverting the fullback. Kristensen doesn't then tuck in to form a back three, Ndidi isn't crashing the box or making the under laps for Fatawu. Ricardo coming into midfield is the only aspect of Marescas system that's being used. then you look at the subs at the weekend, particularly Ayew on for Kristensen. ok, it did end up working with Ayew scoring but it's pure schoolboy tactics of "losing? throw more attackers at it"

eh, we were flying close based on the losses in 21/22 and 22/23, hopefully the KDH and Maresca money has brought us into compliance for the three year period. we'll have to see when the accounts for 23/24 are published

says we'll get an FFP sanction if we go down, which we probably will - we've argued successfully we were an EFL club on the 30th June 2023, so the PL didn't have jurisdiction to punish the breach. the corollary to that then is the EFL do have jurisdiction, and will try to punish us for the breach

16 hours, 145 views and zero interactions? gonna go out on a limb and say that's not real

it's baffling given we don't even create that much. our strikers must have the best conversion rates in the division

sell regardless. the way we avoid situations like the summer where we're relying on lawyers to avoid points deductions is making sure we're maximising the money coming in, and for a club of our size is making sales. the season we signed Soumare was part of the problem (big outlay with no income to offset it) but Daka and Soumare at least fit the buy young talent and sell it on after a few years model. we then proceeded to let several tens of millions of assets completely depreciate (Youri, Cags and co) and we need to not make those mistakes again. Does it mean accepting ourselves as a Brentford or Brighton, a stepping stone to top six clubs, yes, but that's better than becoming a financial mess constantly flirting with the drain like Everton are and we're in danger of becoming

so long as he doesn't start I can tolerate him.

yes and it could help with PSR. his book value is around 7m so anything above that is profit as far as PSR goes. if he puts in competent performances then 10-15m should be achievable.

the Internet doesn't use typewriters mate, you don't need to double space after every full stop.

yea, and on grass we play shit for the most part like the data suggests

nah, Allen was in charge when Clarke had the heart attack and was sacked like a day or two after, Megson was in charge come the replay

this is where the timing charts are important: The little red card I've drawn on is where Phillips gets sent off. You look at that, we create 2 good chances against ten men but barely anything of note for the previously 77 minutes. You cannot rely on opponents getting sent off and having the man advantage as a creative strategy.

Enzoball doesn't work under Cooper because Cooper doesn't understand how Enzoball worked in the first place. He's a limited tactician so sees the inverted full back (because it's a very obvious aspect) and not the rest of the tactics that make it function.

Not great today again. Ipswich fans gonna play the victim for the red but Phillips should have walked first half for that assault on Facundo.

swear this bastard must spend his freetime shagging rabbits feet and eating 4 leaved clovers, every single time it looks like things are gonna be bad enough that the board will have to get him gone, we pull a spawny result out.

When Soumare looks like one of your better players, you've ****ed up somewhere massively. That Ayew goal will keep him in charge for a while longer but todays performance should be the final nail in the coffin for anyone defending this Taff twat.

Bouba drank it before coming on the pitch, it's why he looked a bit sharper than usual.

ahahahhaha all coming from Soumare finding the one midfielder in the division slower than he is.

got to score there but him being subbed on is a joke. Ayew for Kristensen, literally just schoolboy "throw more attackers at it" tactics.

Cooper fanboy gonna be on here later to brag that we're still 15th then.

top ambling from Soumare there.

get the rat faced **** off.

need to get that down to 240p so it looks a bit more fluid in his movement.

Sou-****ing-mare? Just **** off Cooper you troll.

Time to get in the trash gothmog you twat.
