And now we’re getting to the point of the season we start playing

#Lampardout

I can’t quite work it out with Sakamoto - that’s just my take on his work. He appears to be slightly wider than BTA. that’s not to say that’s right - he does cut in a lot but seems to put more crosses in than BTA. BTA seems to drive more and MVE does the crosses.

I think our right side operates slightly more central - atm BTA plays almost like a second striker whilst MVE operates the right wing I think when Sakamoto plays it operates the same as the left

I’m gutted how his career has panned out. If he weren’t made of glass he’d be as good as Grimes

It was - at the time he was the best finisher I’ve seen for us, probably still is. Was convinced he was going to the very top When you mentioned him I thought about reconsidering my team. But Gyokeres’ all round ability nudged him ahead for me. Same with Wright.

I find the problem is we've had Gyokeres and Wright in that timeframe - who for us were doing it at a miuch higher level, the level we've been playing at and especially our forward play pushes them down. Not that they weren't class. Stockdale is a great shout - he was a really solid keeper.

I’d counter that as above 1 they’d suffer from the same issues Newcastle have done. history should be respected - but ultimately the last time both sides were relevant on the world stage barring 1 or 2 runs was 20 years ago. there’s a generation of players who won’t recognise the standard of...

But given the collective purchasing of the premier league rights - it doesn’t matter if it’s Celtic or Brentford. They’d suffer the same issue as Newcastle - no matter how much money they have… no fucker wants to live up north

What would they bring in that the premier league already doesn’t bring in?

It’s more they develop it by association with the premier league - I agree their tinpot but currently their worldwide appeal will be bigger than the Scottish league

Difference is with us v Bournemouth we’re effectively in the same playing field. Scottish football is shrinking into the ether. The standing of the football is dragging rangers and Celtic down with it. as the world moves forward their will eventually be people more familiar with the...

But rangers are massive - surely anyone would jump at the chance to manage them ….

It’s almost like the league and to an extent Celtic and rangers have been left behind. I don’t doubt that they have worldwide following. But the only metric you can look at that on is social media followers (I know o know - not the be all and end all) both sides lag behind even Leicester City.

Agreed. See Celtic getting poached by Southampton for Van Dijk. I’m just intrigued at how a big club is measured nowadays.

Are they bigger than Spurs and Villa though? What metric do measure it on. both get similar gates, have world wide fan bases and more importantly play in a bigger league and can offer more money. i

Nick Proschwitz, Denzel Slager, Matthieu Manet, Josh mcquoid, Jack McBean and Yakubu to start with

point of interest " On loan from Frank Lampard's Derby County"

If I recall we played some good stuff with him and Chaplin in the team but for whatever reason - they both couldn’t finish their dinner. I liked Thomas

I went for the Lampard method - just out score the opposition. Even the corners had be salivating - Hamer whipping it in for Reda and Ostigard
