On the showings of last night I can see them beating Arsenal in the cup but that no goal decision could quite easily cost them a European place. They're a much better side than any of us give them credit for. I hope I'm wrong and love to see them back down her with us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBurnie and Sharp as the front two? I dont get that. Surely you start Mouset who has a bit about him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could get a couple of decent strikers then I’d say they would have a chance of Europe. Mcburnie had a free header and straight at the keeper got to be scoring those. Premier League quality strikers aren’t cheap that’s the problem they will have. They’d need to spend big big. The amount they spent on McBurnie was crazy but that’s the going rate and he’s bang average at best for that level. The boy can’t even get a regular game for Scotland and we are criminally short of options up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of their goals are scruffy and I totally get that it doesn’t matter but you’d expect a team in 5th place in The Premier League would score the odd worldy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd expect that well coached but limited ability wouldn't get you to the top 6 in what is portrayed as the best league in the world. I agree with you in that they are where they are largely thanks to the manager - as individuals not many of the players will have a host of clubs queuing up to try and take them at that level. Just think it is a reflection of the league as a whole that they are in with a chance of Europe playing that way. The top 2 are great and Leicester have had a really good season but beyond that many of the traditional top teams have far more flaws than they had previously and the rest are nothing to write home about.

SiJ Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I think that system covers up for some of the shortfalls in the playing side. They are so well drilled and the system gives them a very solid base, though a large part of that seems to be the goalkeeper who probably is good enough to play at one of the big 6. I'm not so sure how many of their players outside of him would really flourish elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 We’re O’Connell and Fleck injured? Their bench looked poor to me , not surprised they voted against the new rule to have more subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Personally really enjoy listening to Keane when he’s a mardy bum. Spot on about De Gea. You just know that keeper on loan at pigs will be their number one before long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
