I didn't miss your point. Pelle worked in the system you described as he was Pelle. I don't think that Onuachu would work in that system because he's not good enough. I think Selles is using him in the right way, ie coming off the bench when what's on the pitch isn't working. As for Selles being useless, I think him, Onuachu, various other players, the ownership, the scouts, the board, are all out of their depth.

Not speaking to the police chief before sounding off was naive of her, but, she had a point. The wokeness in this country has gotten ridiculous, and fair play to her for highlighting it in this situation. That all said, why you insist in banging on about the far right, and opine that she's considered a racist, I'm not sure. By all means have your opinion on something, but your desire to give people a label if they have a different one to you is one reason why you consistently get a kicking on here. You don't help yourself.

Are you seriously suggesting that people who think that the police went over the top are "far right"? I know people (2 can play that game SoG) who are lefter than lands end who think the police were ott and that Braverman had a point. If you could express your opinion on issues without being so quick to pass judgement/opinion/criticism of other peoples views, you'd possibly be close to bearable mate.

I think it's a bold prediction.

Eyes mate. What a stupid question.

They were both flat track bullies in shit leagues mate. Apart from one header, tall Paul has offered zero goal threat. People can moan all they like that he ain't playing, but to me it's pretty obvious why he's not.

He'd play a striker if he had good ones. Playing tall Paul just because we have him doesn't make him good.

Forget stats, and comparing the Belgian league with the PL. We need something different. This is the only different we've got, other than kids.

Exactly...it's the best we've got, unless you'd really want tall Paul standing still up top.

Opinion or information?

I think you're confusing mobility with being lazy. He's mobile in that he can make half decent runs, which is more than tall Paul can. He's more physical than the lightweight Mara. He offers more goal threat than both.

Aribo is a bit random, but I guess he's playing up front where he'll be more mobile than tall Paul, and more physical than Mara. Selles has got to try something different I suppose.

So that's what your Avatar is about. It looks uncannily like David Tennant with tits and a blond wig.

Working

Referencing how we played with Pelle is pointless. Pelle was superb, and tall Paul has shown none of his qualities - he's a big lad who can play down the middle with his back to goal. He has no pace, his movement is poor, he rarely jumps, and hasn't shown himself as someone who'll hold the ball up and bring others into the game. It's not that Telles isn't good enough to play him in a different way, it's that tall Paul isn't good enough to offer any more. I know that we're desperate, but expecting this lad to morph into a player that he isn't, is an expectation too far.

Was that a Russian claim, or something that's come from the West?

Blue

This ain't 1984 mate, strikers need to be mobile these days. It also helps if a big lad can jump. He can't. Selles didn't play him cos he's not good enough.

His movement is poor. No amount of games is going to change that. Selles played players who could move their defence around. It didn't work, but we'd have been no better with tall paul imo.

Mitchell

Tall Paul isn't up to it and Adams is injured. Who did you want him to play up there?

There's not enough class on or off the pitch in football. It was quality, and I have no problem with some fans applauding it.

Lock

Yep. Forget the focus on the offside (the scorer was onside so correct decision), the issue was Bazunu stood over near his right post and taking about an hour to dive about 6 inches to his left.
