The reason Man U are so poor defensively is because of Ole’s tactics. Structurally they are really poor and give far too many shots and chances away. Man U also happen to be one of the worst pressing teams in the Prem too.
With a better manager, Man U so far better and Maguire and Shaw look...
We had cover for McCallum last season and we didn’t really need to dip into that. We really should be fine with Dabo, Maatsen, Kane then DaCosta barring a really unlucky injury run.
It means we have a settled team and there’s not much chopping and changing.
Context is everything and we find ourselves in 4th place after 17 games behind 2 relegated teams and Bournemouth. It’s certainly a good thing at this point.
In my opinion, today was one of the best games I’ve been to in my time as a Cov fan!
Honestly, to go 1-0 down and a red card could’ve easily turned into a 3 or 4-0 defeat for a lot of teams. Yet, we were the better team throughout the whole game and looked the more likely team to win...
If COH finds a killer instinct with his shooting, his days here become numbered if he doesn’t drag us to the Premiership with him. He’s a fantastic player!
With Fury, he’s clearly got the knockout power, but he’s a lot more of a technician than his peers and is happy to pick someone apart for 12 rounds.
Something I’ve picked up from Fury’s own words is that his newer trainers have actually pushed him finish bouts too.
Fury was great, totally outclassed Wilder! But, Wilder showed some guts and heart to stay in the fight, even rattling Fury a bit at the end of the 10th.
Very glad I set an alarm to wake up for this, an all time classic.
Agreed.
Joshua was roundly bested by Usyk. But, there was a few shots that did hurt OU and his face suggested as much. If AJ loosens his inhibitions a bit and throws dangerous combos, his chances improve.
Usyk is very technical boxer who has as much pedigree as anyone competing today. However, he was cut up worse than Joshua despite having our boxed him.
Joshua has become too conservative (since around the Parker fight) and is seemingly more content to outbox someone and win via decision than to...
Our home form is going to be instrumental to our fortunes this year. If we maintain Top 6 home form, we’ll finish comfortably in the top half.
It’s our away form that is the only cause for concern. We leak more goals and score a lot less.
That’ll be the difference of whether or not we can ‘do...
Fair play to the Cov fans for staying in the stands! It might seem a silly point, but the Spurs fans left in their droves when they were 3-0 down on Sunday.
