    This is a very serious threat and i for one see drastic measures being put in place and would not be surprised to see a lockdown no matter that our vaccination programme is streets ahead of the rest of europe.

    How is our vaccination programme streets ahead of the rest of Europe? What is this based on?

    On vaccination rates we are behind: Sweden, France, Norway, Netherlands, Finland, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, Denmark, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Spain, Malta, Northern Cyprus, and Portugal.

    If he can't afford the Seychelles, that could be a good counter offer for him 🙂

    It's a 16 hour flight and you're going for a weekend. How about a sensible suggestion. Somewhere nice in the lakes, or up to Scotland, or perhaps York. I didn't realise I had to pick the location too. I'm a benevolent stranger, not a travel agent.

    The obvious answer to the op is that we had to try and stop the sheer amount of goals going in - and it seemed to be working up to the Chelsea match when the wheels came spectacularly off.  If we can return to a frugal keeping clean sheets as against Burnley and Brighton, then Dowell/Tzolis/Rashica will get more of a look in as the season progresses.

    The Chelsea match will have to be seen as a painful episode in a steep learning curve for the team. I'm very confident the team will learn from that experience and we'll see better over the next few weeks. 

    Take a couple of days off, everyone in the world knows what you think.

    Definitely not confused Sir ,However the only thing which you and I  would agree is the that night follows day !!! I absolutely despise everything Labour and the left stand for ,as they despise hard working entrepreneurial people . They are some of the biggest  hypocrites' known to man . In fact my right wing views would embarrass Boris ,which currently would not be difficult . So yes Delia falls into the virtue signaling left wing hypocritical cesspit !

    Perhaps the problem is that you put everyone into boxes. I am quite far left but I'm capable of having conversations with people that have opposing viewpoints, and sometimes we change each others' minds. I imagine you truly hate people on the extreme left, but then state proudly that you are proudly extreme right. So what hope does the world have if you can't even try to find middle ground with roughly 50% of the population?

    Hating people because of their political views is why Jo Cox and David Amess are six feet under.

    Mike Riley, Managing Director of Professional Game Match Officials Limited:

    “Referees will look for contact and establish clear contact, then ask themselves the question: does that contact have a consequence? They will then ask themselves a question: has the player used that contact to actually try and win a foul penalty? So it’s not sufficient just to say: ‘Yes, there’s contact.’

    “I think that the feedback we’ve had from players, both attackers and defenders, [is that] you want it to be a proper foul that has a consequence, not something that somebody has used slight contact to go over, and we’ve given the penalty to reward it.”

    It wasn't a pen and if you read the rules you'll understand why...but since when has that ever mattered!?

     last season we were significantly defensively stronger than prior seasons

    Are you sure about that? Our xGA for the 18/19 season was 1.33 goals per game. Our xGA for last season was 1.34 gpg. The indication being that it was actually poorer finishing that resulted in us conceding fewer.

    If you ran that season again you could reasonably expect us to concede far more goals, almost identical to our previous season in the Champs.

    My point is just that so far we are basing his ability on a very small sample. And also he probably needs the right guidance on and off the pitch when he does eventually make a mistake or have a bad game/dip in form. I think who partners him is important. So far it's exclusively been Hanley?

    That's why I said I'd start him with Gibson. Left/Right combo, Gibson the senior player. But for me O'Mo has to start. Highest ceiling and done what's been asked of him so far.

    Who would you start Satdee in a 2 and a 3?

    Unless I'm mistaken, there's no apostrophe after the O in his name, unless you did in on purpose.

    To be sure his mother is Irish, but the surname is from his Nigerian father.

    Agreed, both Omobimadele and Kabak would seem to be the future and probably sooner rather than later, but they need an old head beside them for now, imo. Especially if we play just two at the back. 

    It's a big ask to pitch two youngsters together into a PL season though, admittedly Kabak had good experience at Liverpool.

    The most important thing for me is to get a settled back line. There seems to have been overmuch chopping and changing of late. Partnerships and understanding at the back are probably the most important when it comes to cementing a preferred line up.

     

     

    I did do it on purpose. It made me chuckle.

    Just FYI you have spelt his name wrong.

    Kabak I thought was dog****e on Saturday. I'd like to believe this was a sub-par performance as he wasnt fit as you say - but if thats the case maybe he'd have benefitted from a run-out last night for the minutes. Against Liverpool might well have been an incentive too.

    Omo could yet make a big mistake or have a bad game and get slaughtered the way Idah is at present and this could see a huge drop in form and confidence.

    Strange neither Kabak or Zimm were given a run last night, suggesting Zimm, talismanic though he is is firmly 5th choice, and possibly that Hanley, as Captain, is undroppable.

    D0g**** is the word that came to mind for Kabak's performance for me too. 

    While I take your point, are we going to not play someone that hasn't put a foot wrong just in case he does?

    I believe Zimbo is injured...

    I'm going to assume that Kabak was not fit on Saturday and therefore not judge him too harshly on that performance. Quite why we dropped O'Mo, who to my knowledge has never put a foot wrong, for a player that didn't seem to have any idea where to stand...you'd have to ask Daniel.

    For my money, O'Mo should be a guaranteed starter. I was gutted for him at the weekend and I hope he was in Farke's office demanding an explanation. A huge part of our success in recent seasons has been the principle that it's your shirt to lose.

    Hanley has looked poor and Kabak can't be fit. If it's three at the back then I'd drop Hanley. If it's two, I'd be tempted to give Gibson a go with O'Mo. The one thing I know is that there's no room for sentiment. Hanley has been poor and does not deserve to play on Satdee IMHO.

    Is your piece based around highlights and stats or genuine long-term viewing?

    I ask because how/what a player does very much depends on the system around them and in what context you're pulling stats from.  Ball retention and turn over in play could differ very much between Russian, Championship and Prem leagues for all number of reasons.  i.e. would Rashica look like a world beater if his debut was in place of Tzolis vs Bournemouth.

    Normann himself has been happy implying that he's a ball winner and likes to get stuck in, But is that because Farke is demanding this from him with the signing?  I mean, I haven't a clue, as not seen him play live.  But it does feel like he's making the point wherever possible. Which is why I'm wondering if you've based this on first hand viewing?

    Personally (Based on highlights) I think for Normann, he's going to have to become far more regimented in holding a position for us and those passes which have served him well in Russia are not going to cut it here when he's distributing to players who have less space, and physically weaker in winning a higher/long balls.  You'd imagine he will be paired with Gilmour as the outlet, but I sense a high degree of (good?) arrogance in him, and think he's keen to deliver a more complete game to us (As per your article)... I Just hope it's not our downfall, really.

    If you're a defensive mid and caught out of position, a lot of the blame usually defaults to the CB who's overloaded, hence why Skipp was always that very important 'invisible' man, that we still crave! 🙂

    Read it.

    Take a look at how many shots Ronnie had to have though to get his goals. Way out in front, nearly double the shots Lukaku had for five more goals. Plus Lukaku killed him on assists, 11 to 2.

    Ronnie actually made Juventus weaker, mainly because so much money was spent on him that it weakened the team, which well be less of a problem at manyoo. He will however get in the way of some of their fine young players playing, disrupt their playing style, and demand everything, free kicks, penalties etc. when he isn't actually very good at them, free kicks in particular.

    A perfect signing for united and Ronaldo. He'll score goals and get the personal glory, United plastics get their photos, and the club sells a load of shirts. Whether it benefits the team or not is irrelevant.

    I would imagine its because it's not as simple as popping into a shop and picking one off the shelf.

    Webber has already said we will be going deep into the window so hold you hard. 

    Do people not have time to read what Webber and people have to say or do they ignore it?

    Just love the accounting of some on here:

    Last season we received roughly £15m for Lewis, £25m for Ben Godfrey and £40m in parachute payments.  Assuming the Gibson and Giannoulis deals were from last seasons budget, that paid for Sorensen, Placheta, Mumba, Dowell, Hughil, Gibson and Giannoulis.  I would wager that we are in credit from the Lewis and Godfrey money.

    Equally, if the reported fees for Gunn, Lees Melou, Rashica and Sargent are as suggested, we're still in credit from the Buendia money.  We still have the approximately £100m PL money to come.

    What's happening is the bare minimum that can be expected from a policy which allows the sale of your best players, reinvestment into the playing squad.  But don't be hoodwinked, some would have us believe that these purchases means that Delia is great and wonderful.  Her contribution to this is zero.  We sat on the 2018-19 PL money and as it stands, no 2021-22 PL money has gone on players. 

    Currently, our net spend is less than that before the 2018-19 PL season.

     

    100% sure you're a boring d1ck head that the club would be better off without.
