I thought the suggestion was that shifting BTA would finance the Grimes deal. @Saddlebrains ?

So is he going or not?

Such awkward timing that we’re playing them on Saturday.

So we’re skint and Doug refuses to sign anyone he can’t turn a profit on but we’re now bidding for a 29 yo midfielder who wants the move because we’re offering far better wages than he’s on now? 🤔

Did you even watch the situation yesterday? Dovin was kicking from his hands and the striker was outside the area. Overhead kicks are a foul if there is another player challenging the ball with their head because it’s dangerous play. No idea what your point is here.

No because usually the ball is being kicked off the ground, not out of the hands. Anyway, you’re being deliberately obtuse. What does allowing players to stand a yard in front of the keeper to block add to the game? Nothing.

No I think the point is expected stats generally correlate with actual performances in the long term, and our expected stats were better in a 433, so let’s use that. I don’t think we look better in a 532 than 433.

Because in order to block it you’ve got to be very close and risk getting kicked or a ball in the face

Some of the threads on here were embarrassing Might dig out the ones where people genuinely wanted to sell the whole team for pennies

Agreed I’ve only recently discovered his twitter though, and he’s quite funny. So wouldn’t mind keeping him for that.

Which is why I want us to ditch 532 when wright and EMC are back. Our underlying stats in a 433 under Lamps were godly.

You think the keeper should be allowed to be challenged when he drop kicks it? All it would do is cause scrappy, dangerous situations and would have no benefit to either the skill or spectacle of the game.

I'm not trying to pile on and I generally agree, but not taking the ball to the corner is one of my massive pet peeves because it basically shows you either have no understanding/appreciation of the state of the game OR you're just very selfish and care about personal glory/stats more than the...

Having a shot was the quickest way he could’ve given the ball back to Watford other than literally passing it to them. It was an awful decision.

Didn’t really think about it that much but as a player who’s not currently starting games what a stupid thing to do. Might make Lampard think twice about bringing him on if we’re seeing out a close game.

Why so polarised He's very raw with some good physical and technical attributes but he's not putting it all together yet. Only 20 though so there's plenty of reason to think that will come with time.

Unfortunately the rules aren't really 100% clear on that. Should be a foul imo though.

Ffs ahahahahaha

Lampard believers rn

You want Lampard sacked you buffoon
