Farke didn't trust last season's subs, he gave them a chance to shine at Stoke & they failed miserably. Some players don't suit certain teams or fit the system. Apart from Anthony, who else of any quality Farke didn't used off the bench? Players like Gnonto and Joseph who people love now. Conor ...

Rodon, Struijk & possibly Ampadu are all better than Charlie. At least four Leeds coaches didn't fancy him. Agree to disagree, as a pure defender I'd say very little difference between them. Cresswell ranks really high in France for the defensive data Only really Farke had an opportunity to use CC ...

Gnonto & James have scored more goals & made more assists than Anthony. Even Ramazani beat Anthony with goals/assists on limited game time. Soloman only one assist fewer than Anthony. This obsession with Jaidon Anthony needs to stop. Missing my point. I wouldn't swap Anthony for Ramazani, Gnonto or ...

Farke's here - Team news Busy week. Third game in seven days. Early kick-off. Some late decisions. Those who played 90 on Tuesday have only had recovery sessions. This afternoon will be a proper session, and we will make decisions there. Several players with knocks and question marks. Wober, busy ...

There are some contradictions here. We dominate a game and lose. I cannot recall any posts - post match where you highlight we were unlucky etc. Your analysis is in the main critical of Farke’s tactics and / or certain players. Results in a significant amounts of games are often down to fine m ...

No issue with what Carrick said, they has the pen call, a few situations they didn't make the best from and Meslier made a few good saves so he isn't wrong really.

I don't think the squad is better no.

Dunno how you can watch that and not see a Doak clone.... The trouble with giving players 10 minutes is they invariably try too hard and fail, especially when young. A little easier with experience. Sunderland were forced to play him as a striker/target man, not his position but he did his duty ...

Has Gelhardt played for England and scored 16 goals in a PL season. If so then yes he probably deserves a chance :) He does have 4 assists and 2 goals in just 938 Premier League minutes which is a better ratio than Bamford and infact is only slightly worse than Bamford in the Championship. Think ...

19 for me.

Quite good on a logo apparently

She's brilliant.

Compare her to many interviewers who can barely muster English

Hated him as a player.

But he's very good on stuff like this

Yes Piroe does drop deep and the consequence is there's then very little space between the lines. However as you correctly point out the higher defensive line should allow more pitch for wide runners to run into. However we don't seem to be able to align the run with the pass even though it would ...

Waited till tonight's fixtures before doing this. A pleasing win vs Middlesbrough made for a pleasant warm glow. An on paper very difficult fixture came through in pretty decent style. Saturday will be a totally different test and in a strange way every bit as tricky. An away fixture vs a side happy ...

As said previously if you've watched the game back then fair enough because I know you try to see things objectively. However sometimes it's about the unseen things such as occupying centre halves higher up the pitch which creates space on the flanks for our runners. For example Wober was very ...

Weston MacKennie !!!

He sat in the Man City goal and allowed his gravitational pull to do the work?

I didnt want to disappoint you, as you would be expecting me. You have to admit its guess work based on chances created.
