Matchday discussion

Because he’s 18 and he’s not good enough to start for us in midfield presently given we have plenty of better options there. Correct me if I’m wrong, but he played a lot of games at fullback for Leeds I believe?

We may end up playing close to 60 games this year. You can’t expect perfection every time out ... particularly when injury riddled. Roma certainly aren’t Leeds … they still have a few guys who would walk into our team. Guesty hit the nail on the head … we had 24 shots … they had 19 … that’s an awful lot for both teams. Despite how it came about, the draw was a fair result.

The more important fixture is in a couple of days. And I expect us to go hard in that one.

 

The most important game is the one that might bring silverware and that is the cup not league

 

That’s not true and you know it.

A Carabao and 12th in the league will get the manager sacked. Yes we need to win a cup … and we’re still on track for that … but league is still king for this club. There is far more money involved.

 

I agree…….unfortunately club football is (wrongly) all about Champions League……and money…..

I of course don’t know…..but my guess is that the club wants to push for top4 before any cups…..

However……it seems we do have a manager that wants to win something this season…..and that will only be a cup…..so he needs to play his best players……
The problem…..the best players can’t play every minute of every game.
Ange wants to be 3 up in every game so have can then rest players…..but no opposition will just give up…..this isn’t Scotland

 

Typical Levy way let’s get the money and don’t worry about the supporters wanting to win something.He seems to have brainwashed you

 

Pffft.

I’m just a realist … I’ve followed this club more than long enough to know how it operates and what it values.

I just don’t take it to heart anymore.

 

Me over 60 years and I remember what winning something felt like

 

Just watched Ange press conference and he does not do himself any favours with his incessant (I won’t change whatever happens attitude).Does he really mean if we are leading in a cup final with a minute to go he will still go gung ho.This arrogance is what gets people’s backs up and could be his downfall.I really want to back him because we are entertaining but please be prepared to change to get a win sometimes

 

So do I … the FA Cup in 91 was my highlight … that’s 35 years ago
