It’s almost like he doesn’t have the fitness to play so many games in succession at the end of a season. He’s a great player when in form, but has sometimes spent the latter part of tournaments not contributing. It’s a brave manager, however, who leaves out or substitutes a player like Kane in a must win game. I remember Taylor (?) doing something similar with Lineker and was roundly condemned went it went wrong. That sort of thing for me separates a manager who can make inspired changes to one who is just very much ‘safe’. I’ve seen nothing inspirational about Southgate in any of his decisions to date. Almost as if, when there is more pressure, he starts to bottle it.... Edited 7 April 2021 by Lambert09 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say he should have even be subbed because he's an 99% guarantee pen' scorer. But he should have put on Vardy. If you look how Kane plays alongside somebody with pace like Song it seems like pretty easy call to have them playing together. But either way I have zero faith in him tbh. I've seen this before which I don't understand. You are talking domestically aren't you? Didn't he score at hat trick at Old Trafford earlier in the season? Or at least 2. He has a good record against United, Liverpool and Chelsea. He always scores in North London derbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because they'll be taking over Rockliffe hall for a couple of weeks i'd imagine. Boro's training ground is there, there's a golf course and it's close to the Riverside. Minutes away from Teeside airport too for the visiting teams to fly in and out and for any foreign based players. Also if fans are allowed in, the Ground is 'out the way' and would probably be easy to manage from a crowds/covid point of view.

Yes Posted 7 April 2021 Share Posted 7 April 2021 Traore might be possible but realistically I don’t see us signing any Wolves players. It’s more so the fact that if true and they’re looking to sell those 3 its far from what they were promised as fans, a lot of Wolves fans a bit like Villa have been promised the world by their owners and have been convinced they’ll be fighting for top 4 and beyond in no time, which while possible why those 2 in particular think they’re the only ones with ambitious owners I don’t know.

The Bear Posted 7 April 2021 Share Posted 7 April 2021 Duncan Castles hasn't got a clue about Wolves. I wouldn't take anything he says as fact. Probably just going off the headline loss in the accounts (which would have been a profit if not for Covid). If anything we're in a stronger position now that FFP has been binned.

The Bear Posted 7 April 2021 Share Posted 7 April 2021 (edited) It would benefit all clubs with ridiculously rich owners. Yourselves included. More so those clubs sitting below the top table who have previously been restricted in their spending by FFP.

Foxxed Posted 7 April 2021 Share Posted 7 April 2021 Ug. It's doubtful but not impossible that Liverpool will win the Champions League. But it's possible that Chelsea win it and finish outside the CL places. And would take up a Champions League place. I really want to beat the Hammers to help secure third. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should a Premier League club win the UEFA Champions League they will automatically qualify for the group stage of next season's competition regardless of their league finishing position. Should a Premier League club win the UEFA Europa League they will automatically qualify for the group stage of next season's UEFA Champions League regardless of their league finishing position. A maximum of five Premier League teams are eligible for UEFA Champions League qualification. In the event that a Premier League club win the UEFA Champions League and another win the UEFA Europa League and neither of these clubs finish in the top four of the Premier League, the club lying fourth in the table will drop into the UEFA Europa League group stage. https://www.premierleague.com/european-qualification-explained#:~:text=Should a Premier League club win the UEFA Europa League,for UEFA Champions League qualification. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bats8711 Posted 7 April 2021 Share Posted 7 April 2021 It seems every few pages this comes up, but if an English club wins EITHER European competition and finishes outside top 4, we're fine. But if they win BOTH, then 4th place isn't CL. To put it lightly, that would be quite a gut punch both emotionally and financially. I think people are slowly starting to realize that there isn't "no chance" this is going to happen - as seemed to be the consensus a month or so ago. I mean, the CL QF draw was pretty much the worst possible one for us. Even before this week's results I thought there's just as much of a chance of Chelsea winning CL outside top 4 as Liverpool. Do I think Chelsea would beat PSG / Bayern / Man City in a final. No. But I certainly wouldn't feel very comfortable if it got to that point with Arsenal also progressing. I mean, surely Arsenal are favorites to get to the final playing Prague and then winner of Zagreb + Villareal? To sum it up - if you're not concerned about this, then more power to you. But I certainly am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
