The Doctor

Choudhury would move Infield and Ricky would come on in that case I'd expect. Hope Aluko smashes it and that Hague worthy Vestegaard-Thomas axis is gone for good

Really poor to pull off, got to go for the pinfall from there.

had a look on my city women's save and currently tenth in the championship with Graham Potter as manager and Joel Piroe up front. They've got Rudkins number tbf

theyre 2 points off where we were at this stage under Enzo and well clear off 2nd compared to where we were. Yes, that is because they don't have an Ipswich chasing them but still, credit where credits due they've started this season on fire

games he's not started is 11.8, games he has is 13.5. he's started in games against the below average teams

Games he's started: Sheff Weds, Charlton, Birmingham, Oxford, Middlesbrough, Norwich, Stoke (not sure why people are saying he started v Wrexham? he came off the bench that one). 24th, 13th, 9th, 21st, 2nd, 23rd, 3rd - average position: 13.5 Games he's not started: PNE, Cov, WBA, Wrexham, Swansea, Pompey, Hull, Millllll, Blackburn. 5th, 1st, 17th, 14th, 20th, 19th, 6th, 7th, 18th. Average position: 11.8. Middlesboro and Stoke aside, he's played in the easier games (and both of those games we chanced).

That will remain a problem for a while because someone at the very top is a loser begging friendships from celebrities, so will do whatever the players ask in the hope they'll be his mates.

running in behind is what he does best. Which is why it's baffling that we choose to play him in a system thats designed to play with the ball in front of the opposing defence.

playing a crunching defensive midfielder with 3 goals in 225 appearances up front just does not happen anywhere.

ball was already out of play when he starts to go for the tackle, which makes it even more laughable he only got a yellow

good result and I hope that's the shot of confidence both Daka and Mav needed but we can't hide from the fact we tried to defend the lead from deep from the moment the second half kicked off, and if it weren't for a motm performance from Begovic, we'd be on the end of another loss. Martis tactics and game management are woeful

unless he's built like a Tuilagi brother he's not gonna be strong enough to deal with the judo throws the stoke cbs were leaving on him, it was both arms around and throwing him to the ground.

Very competent, surprisingly athletic for his age. as a number two and a Stolarcyk mentor I quite like him

I don't believe the conspiracy that the refs are here to enforce the psr points deduction, but I don't know what they'd do differently if they were, entirely one-sided refereeing.

it's a clear red come on, you cannot go in with both feet off the ground, you're not in control and it's text book reckless endangerment

ball was already out

balls already out before he goes in and he's off the ground, it's a straight red for reckless endangerment of a player, no other decision is correct

stoke should be kicked out of fa football tbh, a club with leg breakers in their DNA

red every day but the refs bottled it

Daka doing a good Ayew impression but why are we asking him to just hold it up rather than countering on them?

oh yea. the only midfielder not on a booking. Faes and Vestegaard both making another howler

hanging on, is Marti gonna be proactive and change it? obviously not

I mean, that's what happens when at half time you decide to stick 10 in your own box. Not one attempt to step out and follow the first clearance up

a bolt out of the blue against the run of play and then hanging on. or a second one, Patson

mav, Monga, Fatawu behind any forward that isn't Ayew levels of selfish. let them all roam as they fancy and no defence in the division could handle it. But that's not controlled enough for this Bilbao Brendan
