ED - Fair play, decent comeback for you. Obviously the point I was making was that people act like we're the only team in the league that don't play open, expansive, beautiful football. I'm not so sure what's fun about mid table teams passing between their centre backs 400 times and getting turned over though. Aston Villa, whose manager everyone on here seems to throw heart eyes towards, play painfully stubborn football, and will continue to get occasionally smashed until they have a defence and midfield good enough to always receive 4 yard goal kicks.
TM - Winning whilst scoring goal of the month contenders on the break?

what is positive about a 'football' manager that doesn't want his team to have the 'ball'?

Re: Sky Sports' Kudus Analysis

the problem is we rarely 'track' forward. it's why it's so painful to watch, and no doubt even worse to play for the team but let's be grateful to the cunt and never question anything. the never having the ball this season, and the twenty league defeats last year are a distant memory for the sheep like contingent of the fan base

Apologies Dolph, you're right, the similarities between us and Man City are uncanny.

I'm encouraged by Marco Van Basten who obviously watches Ajax saying that when Man U took ANTONY that they had the wrong player as KUDUS was much better.
ANTONY cost £80m and punches women in their FAKE TITS while KUDUS was £38m
I understand that him scoring and Ghana winning means he will be off in January for the AFCON

Tracking back?
Moyes is clever, he’s found a way for the players to get out of tracking back.
Just don’t go forward in the first place.

dolph - You are wasting your time now son, with certain posters. They have backed themselves into a corner and will NEVER change their tune even if we won the League and Cup double and the CL the following season. You ain't gonna win with posters who only have objective opinions, so they are best ignored at this point.

People are acting like we're the only team that track back and defend. You know Pep asks the same of his attackers too right? And pretty sure that until Grealish understood this, he wasn't getting picked regularly.

...on the flip side of that, as Eerie alludes to, can you imagine if Sir Trevor had to track back like a long dog and defend for 70% of the game?

ED and I rarely see eye-to-eye but yes, he's got a point. He's just joined the most physical league in the world (although the FA seem to hate what makes this league special and going out of their way to ruin it) and it's great to provide opposing teams with more problems about who they try to kick into the stands. We've got about five players currently.
Our academy was years ago a place where you learned things that didn't come naturally. If you were predominantly right footed you'd only train with your left for months on end, you had to create mental maps of where players were and crucially you had to learn what you would do with the ball BEFORE you received it.
Kudas has been bought up in this training system but it's nothing new. I think we invented it in the 60's and 70's until it strangely fell out of fashion.
Maybe we've got an old school West Ham player on our hands?
What a lovely thought, eh?

Not suprising he scored he played from the start.
Didn't just come on for a paltry 6 minutes, as he's played internationals before.

I've not been blinded by a few jammy results. He's been given a squad worth about half a billion pounds, to stick 10 men behind the ball and rely on Antonio slogging his guts out up front. We're an injury to him away from seeing Danny Ings feeding off scraps.

Lots of encouraging articles and excitement around this bloke but need to let him get a few games in the Premiership before raising too many expectations.
Great in Eridevisia but it’s faster, less space and time in the Premiership. Alvarez looks promising but he’s at the other end of roles in a team and primarily about spoiling play, getting in tackles and interceptions. Kudus is about creating chances / assists and scoring which is tough in any league. Let’s hope he has that pace, skill and physicality to transfer his form to the English league. Signs are good but as we’ve seen you never know. It will be over a few seasons too he needs to be assessed. That notorious second season syndrome can hit even when a player has a great debut season.
Anyway fingers crossed this is a superstar we gave on our hands
