Decent side that. Olise, Munoz, Sarabia, Wharton and Hwang on the bench.

I'd take Mateta over Hwang, Andersen and Guehi over any of our CB's. Not a lot between Cunha/ Neto and Eze/ Olise. Munoz has better output than Semedo too. Glasner is far better than GoN. The biggest thing is they operate as a team and look streets ahead of us.

The biggest problem with this hybrid shite is it doesn't work.

They're like some weird religious cult. I wouldn't be surprised if they chant 'the stats must be right' every hour on the hour.

I think that may be the most useless stat I've seen this season. And in a sea of isolated competition to win that is some going.

Passive Max is definitely an issue. I hope Mosquera is the pacey answer at RCB and Santi B can organise properly or we have to buy a new CB who can and put them in the middle but I think 3-4-3 could work with the rest of the squad, especially if we buy a 9. Sell Kilman and buy a CB and STR...

I think we could. Palace, Atalanta and Leverkusen show how 3-4-3 should work, not this hybrid shite we've endured with very little defensive success this season. GoN would do well to adopt this as I don't think it would take much to do it properly and Sarabia as one of the 10's would fit...

He reminds me of Bellegarde and we can't find a space for him either.

It was pretty clear the tactics weren't working and Gonzales was hooked on 60. Lemina cane on and didn't do a lot so Chirewa and Barnett were trying things without them coming off but it was the midfield that was diabolical, they literally couldn't pass the ball to anybody. Pond and Voice were...

Needs to look at himself too, he was one of those at fault and as a senior player you'd hope he would help the younger lads.

No idea on Stockport, difficult to argue they needed him given their success. I've seen both Voice and Pond play in that defensive midfield slot when Collins tried 4-3-3. Both were ok but Pond is defensively a CB. Voice is only 17 so has room to get better but I just don't see it with him at all.

Pond is definitely a Lg1/ Champ CB. Got good size and decent mobility but nowhere near technically. Voice just looks a bit shit to me but 🤷 I agree with you on the coaching approach and I get it as it's very much a French/ Dutch/ German youth style and it's difficult to argue with their youth...

It's not a good interview on the whole and as a coach he should take responsibility not his young players. He did nothing to change things when Sunderland did and he persisted with trying to play it from deep with 2 head it and kick it centre backs who can't do it. He picked a powderpuff...

This idea of players vacating the middle to isolate players is for the birds. It's literally never worked with any team yet managers still try it. People think Liverpool do it and it couldn't be further from the truth. Lage was completely shit at it too. Thankfully GoN doesn't do it and likes...

Alonso does the same with Wirtz, Hlozeck, Hofman and Tella. Atalanta do the same. I think we could do it with an actual centre forward rather than a poacher.
