  1. Heard the same. Apparently he was France's best player at the recent U17 World Cup in Indonesia. France were tournament runners up whils an England side that featured Jayden Meghoma, Tyler Dibbling and Sam Amo-Ameyaw got knocked out by a park-the-bus Uzbekistan side. Composed, commanding centre-back who looked very impressive and seems destined for greater things.

  3. Interesting post but my big question would be why did you leave out the cup games in your analysis ? Surely the most interesting game of Jones’ reign was the Man City game where both goals were scored from open play and we kept a clean sheet against probably the most potent attack in the league. I’m not attempting to fly the flag for Jones here. I’m as concerned as everyone else and one good week certainly does not make up for the rest. I just think the situation is a bit more nuanced than this analysis and most posts on here are painting.
  4. Was this the Hans Christian Anderson story where the Scandanavian Emperor had previously taken a side nobody had ever heard off with no budget and knocked a Ronald Koeman side including Mane, Tadic, Pelle, JRod, JWP,Romeu, Fonte out of Europe and then taken a lower league west London side with no budget from nowhere to the point where they are capable of thrashing a certain more established side 3-0 every year and are now the seventh best team in the land ? Did you not read the prequels ?
  5. Thanks for posting that. Interesting thread. Luton fans opinions seem to be that he’s a really good manager but our players are shit and our fans didn’t give him a chance. Quite a different perspective.
  6. That’s the thing. It’s not clear at all. After Selles arrived we started playing 3 at the back all through preseason and most of our early games. Conversely when Luton had James Justin playing they played a really fluid 442 diamond and scored 94 goals in a season so you could easily argue that 3 at the back and hoof it forward is more Selles than Jones. Bottom line is we don’t know what the truth is so when Rasmus talks about different reference points I’m assuming he’s referring to behind the scenes info he’s privvy to and we’re not and given his record at previous clubs I think there’s a case for seeing how it all plays out rather than thinking we know it all because of what some bloke on Twitter says.
  7. A lot of sides lose out on that stat to City, particularly if they are 2-0 up against them. If you are saying that was a bad performance then you saw a different game to me.
  8. Interesting. The perception amongst the fans is that the Man City game was more Selles than Jones but, given that we started the season with 5 at the back, maybe it’s the other way round. Some hope if that’s the case.
  9. Has he decimated our playing squad ? Do you think Lavia, Bella Kochap, Edozie, DCC, Alcarez are bad players ? Quite a few people in the know think Sulemena has the ability to be top top class. Outside of Romeu who have we lost ? Surely the problem is more that these are young players, still learning their trade, and they are being asked to play in a variety of systems that are baffling to the best of us and often don’t suit their abilities.
  10. Think Sulemana will be our top winger ability-wise but he may well be used as an impact sub to start with. Probably going to be some rotation in the forward positions so I don’t think you can say Edozie will be a definite starter.
  11. Don’t think you’d ever consider Sulemana second choice to Nicolas Jackson. Who knows what went on behind the scenes but there’s no doubt we got the better player. Just listened to the EPL Index podcast where they dissected each clubs transfer window and they rated Sulemana as the best bit of business done by any club in the window.
  12. If we're going for extremely lazy comparisons to African Saints players then Mane would be a lot closer to the mark.
  13. L’equip reporting Sulemana is ours
  14. Meanwhile it’s being reported that we may be in with a serious chance of getting Sulemana https://insidefutbol.com/2023/01/28/rennes-leaning-towards-selling-southampton-target/592943/ if that happens you can forget Tella.
