    We’ve brought in O’Driscoll and Reece for a start. Part of the Carrington revamp is an upgrade to medical and rehab facilities also. But a clear differentiation needs to be made between identifying work loads, treating injuries, the...
  • simonhch replied to the thread Weak midfield.
    It’s a relief to know you have detailed inside knowledge on what the recruitment department and executive management are up to, and are ready to point out their mistakes this early into the window. It gives us a chance. It really sucked being in...
  • feck off home France! This Spanish team is wonderful, but they can definitely be gotten at, especially as the game wears on.
  • I really hope Ronaldo jr. has the same personality. The fireworks when one doesn’t pass to the other will be amazing.
  • simonhch replied to the thread Jarrad Branthwaite.
    The proclivity these days is to have at least one of the full backs be an ancillary center back, while you potentially let the other push up really high. I wouldn’t be surprised to see us line up with all three at some points. Both Martinez and...
  • Tchouameni, Kante, and Rabiot while being a really solid midfield 3, is also incredibly uninspiring. Surely Kante and Tchouameni is enough defensively, with Griezmann the third man to provide some craft. Not like he’s afraid of graft either. I...
  • It’s going to be a real struggle for them after back to back promotions. As many have said, recruitment will be key. They should obviously recruit with the goal of staying up, but do so planning to mitigate for the worst (going down). In that...

    That might be dicey squad management. They’ve lost Kroos this summer to retirement. Modric is ancient too. Think Tchouameni will be needed in midfield. Nacho played a lot of games last season at CB, due to injuries, and he’s now left. They have...
  • simonhch replied to the thread Brazilian Wonderkido - Endrick.
    There’s a lot of talk of the coaching in Brazil being archaic. Apparently when Vini arrived at Real he was this incredibly raw and brilliant talent, who couldn’t even do the basics properly. But with intensive coaching became the monster he is...
  • simonhch replied to the thread This 6 group format needs to go.
    People just fecking complain about everything.
  • I feel like there’s some middle ground to be explored between Marsch and Klopp :lol:
  • The Brazil players don’t seem all that bothered to lose.
  • I mean…..Douglas Luiz :lol: What an absolute tit.
  • The least convincing lead up to a penalty I’ve seen in ages. No surprise at all to see Militao miss.
  • You mean you want 30 extra minutes of this shit?
