Guess the media will tone down the whole redemption narrative.
He’s been rubbish since he’s gone there.
Played well twice over the semi finals and this whole redemption story featuring Sancho and Ten Hag was painted.
Ten Hag was right to bin...
I mean I’ll take your word for it and yes you did list the height and ages but I think it just didn’t make a lot sense. Not in my head anyway.
You’d done all this detailed analysis and then to go from that to then implying Chelsea had a...
Look, I’ll accept the points you’ve tried to put forward for the injury comparison and some have merit even I disagree with some of the more subjective stuff.
But with this Chelsea cb thing you’re off the mark and you’re coming up with...
Ooh naughty, moving the goalposts a bit there. You twice stated same profile and even stated ‘like for like’ replacements. That’s what I responded based on.
Not whether they suited Poch’s system. Which I wouldn’t even say they did. Poch prefers...
fair play going through the effort to emphasise your point. Although again I think you’ve massaged this bit here in relation to Chelsea.
Why do you think This? Cos they’re all black? :lol:
They're not all similar profile at all.
Fofana is more...
It didn’t seem to effect 85 goal Newcastle whom the majority of their injuries were in their defence yet they still managed to produce high volume attacking returns. Unless of course you would readily state Eddie Howe is a better football coach...
Don’t really understand the logic here. Why would it suddenly make smaller clubs start winning it? In about 30 years of FA and League Cup finals you can name the handful of non big six teams who’ve won those competitions.
Wigan, Portsmouth...
Definitely my favourite ever FA Cup win. Although beating Arsenal in that semi in 04 was near… (That was basically the final)
- Watched the full game and highlights on with punditry on both channels.
- Gone through the celebrations and vlogs...
- True to the first point to an extent. But then you look at the relative impact in our case and it doesn’t quite fall into line. So basically we’ve had big problems in defence with injuries but our attack has generally been available, yet it is...
I think you’re massaging things a bit here. Days out injured is really the only categorical way to quantify an injury situation.
Some of what you’ve said here is a little loose on the factual side.
- Chelsea can only submit a certain amount of...
Find that incredibly hard to believe. There can’t be that much in it.
James missed at least 75% (can’t think he played more than Shaw)
Chillwell maybe less (Martinez probs a bit more)
Fofana was out the whole season (Malacia same)
Nkunku 75% or...
This is absolute nonsense to be fair. It wasn’t a smash and grab win. We had a higher xg than city as @Lash pointed out but in general it wasn’t a high chances game for either side. City pointlessly passing the ball in front of us and going...
Shhh, don’t let this out. We have to keep peddling the myth.
Does that automatically mean more intensity though? Have to admit when I see these theories I struggle to accept that they’re true. Matches were far more end to end back in the day...
