Saint Troy

I think this is an interesting question. It’s not that I don’t think we shouldn’t be punished, I do think sporting sanctions for cheating are right, but it needs to follow now with a sweeping change. Financial fair play misses are clear cheating and ejection from the competition should happen in the same way.

It’s not the same though. He called for tighter rules, they were brought in, that’s what we have/haven’t broken. I’m not saying we should be kicked out but I don’t think he’s basing his option fully on propaganda

I suppose enough to bother doing it? It’s more about the principle than the actual gain.

Leo Scienza is greedy, if he passed to Larin the striker would have another 3 goals by now ps if love Leo and the above is slightly bollocks but think Im just picturing a potential repeat of the Tadic Pelle love in

11 perhaps with the two with a game in hand!

Assuming it is TE… I understand the flaws but there’s been a little more quick attacking intent the last couple of games?? Am I clutching at straws?

Or shit ones!

Any decent streams?

I was telling someone about his horrific statement in the echo the other day. Got it up on my phone and read it, it was nowhere near as bad as I remembered. Not pretending it was great but funny how things read differently depending on emotions at the time

Interesting, the shuffle may be better, will watch out for this a bit more and see how others deal with it

Genuine question - what is he supposed to do when unsighted? I assume he leans one way to try and get a view of the ball (which seems sensible). If he leans left it’s the same problem to the right, if he stays unsighted he’s unsighted so that’s not great either (but is that technically what he’s supposed to do)?

I didn’t read your post like that - read it more that we don’t need to replace because they’re banging them in and will improve. I just don’t see Armstrong scoring the goals to take us up that che could. Thought his movement 1st half was ok / poor. When we’re static at the back it’s a hard job for him I admit but didn’t think he offered much at all. If someone is going to stay static up top they need to be able to win headed ball. Ches movement, including dropping a little meant we had players between lines and it opened up space in a way Adam couldn’t manage. Liked him wide, liver his effort and do hope he’ll do well but not sure we play in a way that is ideal for his talents

If one of the two that’s been banging them in is Armstrong then you may have seen his goals on teletext only! Offers so little movement in the centre (although much greater movement out wide). There’s a need for a good striker for sure - if they are already at the club or not is up for debate, never a better chance to blood Ballard. If che stays and plays I agree he’s going to score a good amount

Agree about Charley. Got in to game when Adam’s went up top. Adams created space and Alcaraz has ball moving fwd rather than static back to goal. AA doesn’t cut it in that system up front at all. Liked him wide and his energy was great but first half made next to no runs and offers little in terms of back to goal or balls swung in. Felt for edoize first half. With full back so deep and narrow he is always 1 v 2 and little surprise no end product. the system is great when the oppo is set. But when we break a line we need to be in a position to move fwd quickly and not there yet. A few times we seem to just wait for them to get set. charles looked good and helped us get a better hold I felt. exhausting to watch!!

sweet - he could be good in 7-10 years then!
