The Doctor

Can't wait to see this bloke taking up the bertrand role the moment we get in an actual manager.

given the rumours around Ederson to Saudi during the summer, I can see Man City earmarking him as the long term successor so a bidding war seems very likely

honestly she'd fit better in the Tories anyway given she's a culture war rent a gob like the rest of their MPs

wasn't this trialled back in the Puel days?

why did it jump 0-0 to 1-0 when the keeper picked it up

Our squad is struggling because it's being sabotaged by an inept coach. Only 4 teams so far this season have scored in every game: Newcastle, Arsenal, Man City and Us. But, our overall attacking stats are crap (1st for shot distance (as in our average shot is from the furthest distance) then 19th for xG; 18th for progressive carries, shots on target, passes into penalty area; 17th for progressive passes) for the simple reason that we only apply any sustained pressure going forward when we're behind. We've been level for 258 minutes in games this season, taken 15 shots in that time (so, a shot every 17 minutes). We've been 1 or more down for 249 minutes this season and taken 30 shots in that time (a shot every 8 minutes). Cooper is obsessed with a "just don't lose" mindset and it hamstrings us massively, leaves us having to make comebacks like today, because there's no desire to start on the front foot. Get in a manager with some bravery and 11th - 15th is more than achievable with this squad.

Wilf is better when we are looking to press high but expect to not have much of the ball, his distribution is non-existent. At home to bottom 8 sides we should be getting on the ball and dominating it, for which you want Winks.

I feel like we've had this discussion before and so many vote off the basis of that game alone. why people are ignoring that but for Mads that'd have been a record scoreline I don't know

the man is a metronome, he's reliant on getting the ball and being able to pick out runners ahead of him. Invaluable to have, but you need runners ahead otherwise it's like playing with 10. he's being killed by Coopers anti-football perversions

should be: Mads Ricardo Vestegaard Okoli Kristensen Winks Skipp Fatawu Buonnoatte Mavididi Vardy 2-1 win. will be: Mads JJ Faes Okoli Kristensen Winks Skipp Ndidi Ayew Mavididi Vardy 2-1 defeat

eh, subs and goals would be about 3-4 minutes straight away. Throw in the interruptions with fouls, goal kicks, free kicks etc and you can see 7 minutes easily. yes, timekeeping by refs is wildly inconsistent and not every ref will punish time wasting (all the more reason to go to a stopped clock) but it's hardly a massive injustice that you can't explain normally

he's different gravy, given Edersons getting on a bit I can see Man City circling for him in the next 18 months

ah, so the answer is a shit ton more than Bolton then

how much have we spent in comparison to Bolton, only to put up equivalent attacking stats

yep. the players arguing on the pitch and looking like a league two side at times in the first half will go ignored because the result is respectable but it's a clear sign of a disunity in the squad and that comes from zero faith in the manager

Mads once again keeping things respectable so that results don't reflect just how badly he keeps getting the set up wrong

pure footballing pervert, get him sacked

5 from one team

this is exactly why starmer shouldn't be accepting hospitality and should pay for his tickets in the regular seats. the footage of him on MoTD swearing at Vardy for diving on top of the ball after a nudge from Gabriel is what football is all about

getting electrocuted for a bit at 3, gonna be better than watching this

this is true, and ultimately why we've ****ed up so badly by giving it to this gremlin - when you get into the midseason sacking pattern, what you inevitably end up doing is bringing in more and more firefighters and then giving them a permanent job out of decorum when they get survival (see Kelly and Shakespeare for examples). that said, much as potter is a project manager and a builder, I would like to think that the Pontypridd Pulis hasn't managed to completely rip up the roots Enzo left in such a short time. There is a team with good passing intelligence there to unlock again which is a big part of Potters game

or maybe he actually does want to get back into football if the project is right and the club are in agreement with his terms? shame we couldn't have just paid the money in July rather than saving it to sign Ayew

not even kidding, his goals per shot ratio is obscene.

Serge Aurier is a free agent, just saying

correct. Ipswich are bottom on all of them, passes in we're also ahead of forest, shots on target ahead of Southampton as well
