He’s shaping up to be a Robbie Neilson/Lewis Stevenson type that never gets praise but somehow manages to see off all competition for their position. He came back from injury in poor shape, but he’s worked so so hard under Ole and he’s being repaid for his effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasquale for King Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Imagine getting beat off Man Utd, at home for the third time in a row, haven’t scored a goal against them this season either. Played Sterling who has NEVER scored in 23 games against them. Oh and I swapped out Fernandes for Debruyne in my fantasy team this week 🤬🙈. MAD PEP OOT!!!!!

He has Telles this season and now has some great assists and goals. Great finish today, could well be playing against Mctominay and Scotland at the Euros.

Tazio Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 So Mourinho starts playing the forwards the fans have been desperate for. So far 2 goals for Bale, 2 assists and a goal for Kane. And helped by Son and Moura not letting the Palace defenders have any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole landscape of the loan system has changed hugely. It used to be players going to smaller clubs to get experience, now it almost like clubs hire players they may not be able to afford. The last transfer window had loan fees running into the millions publicised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they might need to look at the loan system in general - most of the January transfers are loans as it's more or less used by clubs who are struggling.

It worries me to be honest, the big five European leagues top teams hoovering up young talent only to loan them back out to gain experience, then clubs like ours who tend to employ ex players as managers don't have the contact's say managers of other clubs have.

151 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Read an article today on a Villa page about Steve Bruce saying John McGinn is his best signing (value wise probably) in his 23 year managerial career. The thing I didn't realise was McGinns grandfather was Celtic chairman at the time? Bruce said he can't believe Villa were able to get him over his "boyhood club".

McGinn would probably reply in kind saying Bruce was the worse manager in his playing career How he keeps getting gigs is beyond me. Thought Allardyce was a goner for good before another desperate club brings him out of the cold. Pulis is another one and I see Mark Hughes is getting some studio time now - maybe a way of getting him back in the minds of desperate owners.

Footballfirst Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 5-2 now, with half an hour left. Who knows how many more goals will be scored. Another VAR farce in the first half when the keeper brought down Foden, but no penalty was given either on or off the park, despite it being a stonewaller.

Tazio Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Lamella as usual indulging in a bit of shithousery with opposition players. Then continuing his aversion to touching the ball with his right foot decides the easiest way to score is to pop a rabona in from 15 yards through a defenders legs. Love the lad.

To even think about doing it there. He’s pretty interesting to watch during games due to way he’s completely one footed. He’s come up with a whole range of outrageous techniques and ways of using the ball to always use his left foot. Bale does it to a certain extent as well but will use his right if he has no choice.
