I often ask what goes on in training as well. We cannot do the basics in an area of the pitch. And most glaringly we have no leaders on the pitch. Amorim kept saying we have to get through the pain of this period so we can implement plan next season but at this point do it with the kids.

How they let Woodward flounder in that role for so long really did us in. Praised for his commercial dealings yet in charge of all the wrong things when it came to football side.

100% agree. I’m fine with swapping during a game even from time to time. But give people the chance to play in best role. It’s these little things that add up to game play issues. Not everything needs to be a chess move.

Also I would like to see zirkzee and hojlund together more. They actually have complimentary strengths. If you are going to switch things up let’s be more attacking about it.

Agree. It’s been a times where Amorim has set us out and I don’t quite understand the game plan. It’s almost as if he isn’t aware of the players strengths. Bruno needs to in an attacking role. Dorgu on the side we literally bought him for. Figure out where Mainoo should be playing.

Oh yea. The markets were whacking him left and right so he had to walk that back quickly. Still pretending he “won” of course.

It went away for a long time but I noticed in the last few years it came back!

Yea it’s a strange one. Im sure he is being compensated from all sides to make this happen but definitely feels PSR driven.

I like what I am seeing. Makes himself available and puts in a good shift on defense. Definitely one to grow and see how he progresses.

That should have stood. They wouldn’t even be able to say who was fouled. Terrible inconsistency

Yea this was frustrating but mostly on ETH. He clearly never understood the level needed in the EPL and his transfer record shows that. Given the fees involved this has to be up there with one of our worst transfers right?

And did! They had a good plan set for post murder but Bob was too consumed with chaos for chaos sake.

It has to be Salah. Unless there is high chance for rotation.

Yea a lot of people wait because there is a cost to see your doctor. And the worst part to me is it’s mostly tied to your employment. So a lot of people are stuck at jobs they can’t leave because it’s the only way they may qualify for insurance. It’s a terrible system.

It’s a mess. Your deductible can be up to $2,000 as a single person. And forget about dental coverage. That’s a separate and even less useful insurance coverage one would need.

Yea it’s quite controlled from us which is nice to see. Also less panicked in possession.

This is important step but the key is to keep this standard. We have seen other coaches attempt and then over time they soften once they realize the rebuild won’t be happening after a hopeful transfer window.

Dreadful. Lots of individual errors for the goals conceded. Decent energy in spurts but still a long way off it. I also don’t love having a midfield two. Rather have 3 in there but would need to tweak system.

Excited to get Yoro in the team as well and have Maz compete at wingback. Really happy to see us capitalize on mistakes. That’s the point of pressing. Very promising.

ETH subs were so frustrating but it was clear he only trusted a portion of the squad. It’s refreshing to see new approaches.

Oooh I’m going to do this as well!
