If teams keep gifting us pens and tap ins may be OK :) They've done OK tbf for free transfers, particularly Nmecha imo. Feel its harsh to discount Piroe though, he's had 0 chance and plenty of players have been written off pre Premier League chance and done fine. Personally I'd prefer a more ...

What are you basing your opinion on?

In the quiet moment before Leeds swing the ball wide, reality thins like mist. From that shimmer steps Tanaka... not with the noise of boots on turf but with the hush of someone who has politely asked gravity to have a rest for a moment. Brentford’s defenders blink, certain he was a midfield shadow ...

Is it a private bet between you and Cjay??? If you admit he’s correct you have to stay in and eat bacon for a month??? Confusing…. My subtlely is erm too subtle for the second time in a week it would appear. I have hidden a clue below but try to figure it out on your own. I believe in you Cjay tal ...

I think the two goals will give him a lot of confidence Definitely - should make him feel that he belongs at this level. Looked like a little boy lost at times and I think people greatly underestimate the mental side of things with footballers. Most footballers are very talented but there's need to ...

Especially about the pre-determined substitutions, and when they happen.

He did for once.

Glad I stocked up on bacon.

Up until Citeh, the 5/3/2 was not in Daniel Farke repertoire, but has started both matches since with it; not because these two particular games favour the formation, it's because he's stumbled over it, and its worked for the team. I take your point, that this is my opinion, not fact tho ...

Tbf not making changes in the Championship with the level of players he had made some sense (because law of averages said better players would win in the end more often than not). Premier league not the same with one of the weaker squads, better managers many with better players. Isn't like "let it ...

Has Tanaka nailed down his starting position at Brentford The last few weeks at Leeds United have shone as brightly for Ao Tanaka. The Japan international was integral to securing four valuable points against Premier League giants Chelsea and Liverpool, yet curiously, his place in Daniel Farke’s s ...

Unconvinced Joel would get the same space in the PL, but you maybe right. Dave! I believe Piroe has to play just behind DCL if he is given opportunities. I definitely think Piroe has the ability to thrive in the 10 role next to DCL or Nmecha as the 9. I am trying to recall which game it was but I ...

You're turning into Arsene Wenger.

Ian, he's made one half-time change in two and a half years, and only because he had to because of injury. I genuinely hope he succeeds :) (evil laugh). The tactics he employed against Chelsea and Liverpool were top notch, but he's got a way to go before convincing me that he's the man for the job ...

It is thought - its his job - and he gets paid £3m per year to do it. It's a decision you'd expect any manager with a lot less experience and paid a fraction of his salary to make. But not the 'only' decision that could have been made. I think a lot of managers would have shut up shop, gone ultra ...

12-0 to our creative midfielder. Is there a case for Gruev, a more defensive footballer away from ER? With the formation likely to be 3 centrebacks plus Ampadu and Stach I think another DM (Gruev) is overkill. Fair enough against Liverpool where the idea appeared to be to try to keep it tight ...

Bogle has grown on me, especially after the performances he put in last season. This season was always going to be difficult for all our players and I am sure that all those remaining from the Championship knew that. Bogle has however been a bit off key this season and I think he can, and hopefully ...

The point I'm making is when you're paid a quarter of a million quid a month (57k a week), you shouldn't be congratulated for making a basic decision. Farke could have replaced Dan James with Meslier. It would have made the same sense as we were 2-0 down. Now ask yourself, if Dan James wasn't ...

A vague "some people" thrown in there..... no clue who some people are . Me neither. It is like a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that is not there. https://images.greatart.co.uk/out/pictures/generated/1500_1500/406827/Fabriano+Sirio+Ultra+Black+Card.jpg Endless blackness, clue ...

That's better. Nice of you to give a little evolution lesson as well from apes to you. Thank you. How old do you think I am? Glad you finally grasped the point I was making which was factual rather than opinion. I have no problem with people giving their opinion, regardless of whether it is right ...
