Stop trying to make a case for playing new signings for the sake of it. This isn't football manager. Good reply....I wish our front 6 had Wes's problems....
The_77 Posted 3 January 2019 Posted 3 January 2019 I've been telling lots of people that we should take inspiration from Atleti for how we build our squad into a perennial contender: a hardworking defensive unit that is difficult to breakdown and can create enough high-quality chances a game to get results. I think that's a much more sustainable path to success than becoming a budget Man City. And to those who say that method only works against the big clubs, Atleti seems to do pretty well in a league that has plenty of small clubs as well. The games against Chelsea, Man City, and Everton weren't very pretty but, damn, I really enjoyed watching us stifle nearly every attack that came our way. An early kick off on New Year's was always going to be an ugly game and Puel got the tactics spot on for a satisfying smash & grab win.

Love that comparison, I said at the start of the season that’s what I’d like to see in terms of us going forwards.

Could have been sent off for a terrible tackle and then gave a terrible header away and lunged in giving a free kick away in a poor position. The rest he was really solid. ..... If Soyuncu did the same he'd be slammed, but Evans gets away with it. I may have missed it but havent seen it mentioned. Not singling out you here, but its amazing how a win seems to change peoples judgement! Agree..but this "slammed". are just a small minority repetative group of posters....

Don't forget he's been sent off twice this season. I just think long term evans and maguire should be starting more games together.
