Quit Aberdeen today with zero league wins and only two wins total under his belt - one of them against Bonnyrigg Rose at home. Seems to be getting a sympathetic response from the media - he really does enjoy a lot of goodwill, he’s a PR master.
I mistyped - it’s 30 goals in 25 games! I somehow doubt he’d put up those numbers in the Premier League.
And yet another season without a trophy - I find Kane to be an undeniably brilliant, but extremely odd player.
Another hat-trick today - he now has 30 goals in 25 Bundesliga games
Seems like continental Europe is a great place for players to pad their stats these days
Whereas the 433 relies on four players, two of which are Simms as a lone striker (meh) and [insert name here] as a RW. Never thought I’d say it but if Wright and Simms can click then I think the 352 will work.
Sheaf coming back into the side will surely help with the latter. As for the defensive issues, I’m honestly starting to wonder whether we will regret letting Fadz go…. (Yes, I know he was sent off today)
Lots of criticism of the 352 system today, and we’ve never looked that comfortable with it. But if we can engineer a strike partnership between Wright and Simms that hits its stride before the end of the season then I have to think that gives us the most attacking threat, as opposed to the 433...
Regardless of your personal crusade on this topic, I think it’s only appropriate for the costs of defaming someone to be picked up by the person doing the defaming, rather than their employer!
I wouldn’t stress it too much. I’m not rounding up, so Fabio was like a 7.0 while Simms was an 8.8. I thought I’d be too harsh on Tavares to give him a 6, he did what he’s being put out there to do!
What’s the evidence he was on a huge contract at Bristol? Is the Somerset Saddlebrains your source? Is Bidwell’s salary far less than ~£8k/week? Seems like a lot of conjecture here.
Don’t think I ever mentioned him specifically, but think last night was a pretty good illustration of how you can slot in a passenger or two against sufficiently weak opposition without it ever harming your chances of winning the game.
