Spot on about Sterling.. He got it wrong with Palmer though. He's already easily their best player and looks like an England International for years to come. I wanted to keep him. Especially with our depth being poor this year. Strange decision and it ended up being a bargain and one of the few shrewd signings for Chelsea.
The manager that is lower on the table. Man U still getting some results away whilst they deal with their pretty awful injury crisis. Ten Hag is handling it much better which is embarrassing on our part because I don’t rate him at all
I don’t think our injuries stack up to yours t
Or Pep...
I can see Newcastle sticking with Howe until end of season and then signing Emery
It depends on how much Villa are willing to give him to invest or how much Newcastle would say you have to spend. Otherwise he might see it as a sideways/backwards move and hold out for a bigger move.
they wont sack pep only way he'll leave city will be on his terms
I was obviously joking but he's not been at the top of his game this year.
Matip. Tsimi. Robbo. Bajcetvic. Thiago. Mac Allister. Doak. Allison, Konate and Jota recently came back from injuries.
having kdb and haaland out hasnt helped, add in the loss of gundogan and mahrez and replacing them with average players like nunes and kovacic.
or lack of depth.....
Still should be doing better than what we have and the fact that we keep falling behind to lesser teams and can't keep a clean sheet is the alarming part. Before that game we only had two more wins than Everton..
Yeah thats all of them. It’s not even fatigue as to why we are in this shithouse form. Howe keeps selecting his favorites like Dan Burn at LB, never thinks to rest an old age Trippier ever, Longstaff starting in the middle, Wilson starting in games over Isak, Almiron playing 90 minutes every game etc, and he never really uses his subs or bench well. Plus it appears he has zero plan B In the game and always sticks with plan A.
That was a pretty clear penalty. You can't slide as a defender with your hands up and block a potential goal.
I still think it's harsh particularly the proximity of the defender.
I agree based on what the rule should be. I would have never changed the rule or interpretation from what it had been for decades.
