We put fuck all crosses in due to that silly inverted full back thing, that’s where he’d get more for us

This is the worst team/squad we have had in 20 maybe 30 years. Comparing man for man doesn't take into account Kane and a peak Son being worth 3 players each. I'm not interested in who is better out of Gollini/Kinsky. - by Mohammed the Secret Shirtlifter hates Brennan Johnson - 09 May 2025 03:49PM

Back four is good on paper, tactics make it not so much in reality, Bentancur is decent, Bergvall will be but not fit, Maddison not fit but is above average if not great, Solanke is good but not Kane and not the Isaak level but better than plenty, Son very good on his day and class is permanent but he’s old, Spence is good. It’s not great but it’s far from awful, we will look much better under someone even half decent - by Rob - 09 May 2025 05:22PM

Solanke is a cart horse. He’s basically Iversen if Iversen loved anime - by Nenge Mboko - 09 May 2025 05:28PM

Totally disagree unsurprisingly. The system doesn’t play to strengths like Bournemouth did, but now he’s actually fit again you can see he’s not awful in the slightest - by Rob - 09 May 2025 05:32PM

Solanke is NOT a good player. The Viking is better than Lolo. - by Mohammed the Secret Shirtlifter Spitting facts - 09 May 2025 05:55PM

What are his strengths mate? Hes not quick not clinical not skillful. Not good in possession. He gets a fucking anime portrait done of himself every time he scuffs one in from 3 yards the fucking headcase. - by Nenge Mboko - 09 May 2025 05:34PM

Hold up play is good, actually half decent with his feet and manages to get aqua from players, good in the air, gets in good positions, appears to now take a nice penalty too. He’s quite good at all these things, Kane was excellent so fuck me is it a drop off, but he’s a much better footballer that Richarlison - by Rob - 09 May 2025 06:20PM

But we use him to hold up the ball. I thought we didn’t play to his strengths? - by Nenge Mboko - 09 May 2025 06:23PM

Every striker would get more if you gave him more chances. That’s a statistical inevitability. But if we’d won zero penalties this year he’d have less goals. None of these things are objective analysis of his strengths. He’s not a good finisher. His career shows that. One semi impressive season - by Nenge Mboko - 09 May 2025 06:49PM

*get away - by Rob fat thumbed iPhone cunt - 09 May 2025 06:21PM

this is true. he looks like a thunderbirds puppet and i can't see his eyes in any photos from last night but he is a decent player - by Tone - 09 May 2025 05:34PM

He’s 28 at the start of next season and has had one good year in the top flight, in terms of goals. Like Marcus Stewart and Michael Ricketts before him. I’d like Rob to answer if Bournemouth “played to his strengths” the year before his good season, when he got six league goals. - by Nenge Mboko - 09 May 2025 05:37PM

He's definitely not worth 65 million quid even though I prefer him to Richarlison - by Dougal - 09 May 2025 05:45PM

Like preferring Fred to Rose, but sure you can have that one - by Nenge Mboko Would like us to sign a mentally stable striker at some point - 09 May 2025 05:46PM

What is it about Fred that puts him above Rose in your view? - by Dougal - 09 May 2025 05:49PM

Rose is deffo the better bastard of the 2, Fred took the easy way out, rose got on with it and hooked up with Myra Hindely. Power couple p with - by sleek - 09 May 2025 05:57PM

Killing himself and not being a burden on the taxpayer was his one redeeming act. - by Nenge Mboko - 09 May 2025 06:01PM

She was every bit as violent and depraved as Fred, but there’s an argument he wouldn’t have been anywhere near as “successful” without him, in terms of luring several of the victims - by Nenge Mboko - 09 May 2025 05:55PM

So really Rose is the better one of you judge them on their stats because she's got the assists as well as the goals - by Dougal - 09 May 2025 07:04PM

*without her - by Nenge Mboko - 09 May 2025 05:55PM

I don’t think starting 11 is that bad. Unfortunately because of the cavalier play (I thought that pressing graph was yelling) we haven’t been able to keep them fit. He has blamed injuries for poor results but he has caused the injuries. - by Skipper - 09 May 2025 04:50PM

A whole new foward line and a manager whose team isn't cut open by 2 simple passes and it's not as bad. Our recruitment has been laughably bad. - by Mohammed the Secret Shirtlifter - 09 May 2025 05:00PM

Definitely not 30 years. The squad from 1999 till Jol was absolutely fucking rank - by Dougal - 09 May 2025 04:16PM

That's nearly 30 years. This squad is pure AIDS - by Mohammed the Secret Shirtlifter - 09 May 2025 04:30PM

It's not great, I'll give you that. I'm not sure we have a single world class player and we've pretty much always had at least one - by Dougal - 09 May 2025 04:35PM

In our darkest days we always had one or two that would get the juices occasionally flowing. - by Mohammed the Secret Shirtlifter - 09 May 2025 04:37PM

Yep. It was the spurs way to have at least one superstar in the squad. In my time, from Hoddle, Gazza, Lineker, Ossie, VDV, Ginola, Madrid, Jane? Berbatov to name a few - by MichaelTakeCBE isn't sure any of our current squad is fit to clean their boots - 09 May 2025 04:46PM

Paul Walsh - by RJM - 09 May 2025 04:50PM

haha come on now - by Tone - 09 May 2025 04:51PM

Klinsmann and King - by MichaelTakeCBE being slightly more sensible - 09 May 2025 04:52PM

*Kane - by MichaelTakeCBE - 09 May 2025 04:47PM

2000-2002 was grim really. In terms of squad. Campbell was the only class player during that time and look how that went - by Nenge Mboko - 09 May 2025 04:44PM
