If we play a back four, it would be Fry and Hall for me. If it’s a back three, it would be Fry, McNair + 1 which probably wouldn’t be Hall as both he ...
@jarkko I think your attempt at positivity has been well and truly hijacked I’m afraid! I applaud your effort though.
@ken Some of that has to do with wealthy owners, Ken. Below is a list taken from footballbests.com, with some of those clubs among the wealthiest no...
@jarkko I will add that we will go into next season on an improved financial footing. Of course, the pandemic has ruined any cost cutting to some ex...
Given that Warnock will be here for only one more season (we think), is it not better to miss out on these signings in any case? The next manager, who...
Just discovered that Liverpool centre-back Nat Phillips is the son of former Boro full-back, Jimmy Phillips.
@redcarred I'd much prefer us to be looking at younger strikers with intelligent movement, good technique and composure - pace would be a big bonus ...
Not sure if my earlier attempt to post got through so will try again.... The League One Player of the Season was Peterborough striker Jonson Clarke-...
@k-p-in-spain Strategy is a generous word but I do believe that the thinking is now a one year attempt to get promoted. Otherwise known as s**t or...
I think there is an argument that we’ve improved on and off the field. We’ve stayed clear of any relegation battle, been more organised, scored more g...
@werdermouth It reads like Mr Wilson has been taking tips from this blog! Very similar comments to one paragraph in particular of this weeks opener,...
Truly dreadful today, as has it been for so much of this calendar year. Former pros often say that it’s the senior players who run the dressing room...
John Obi Mikel is a 14th player for this list.
@ken Geremi and Clayton Blackmore the ones we missed in the end. Good question, Ken.
Would Ritchie de Laet have received a winners medal at Leicester?
@powmillnaemore Aliadiere is a great shout though. So that's at least 9 of the 13 (not sure about Greening and Schwarzer). Struggling for any mo...
@powmillnaemore No Lennie Lawrence was in charge in that first Premier League season. I think Robson would have been playing for Man U then.
Liverpool didn’t win the Premier League until last season and I can’t think of anyone there. The possible clubs are Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea, Blackbu...
@malcolm Yes I’ve just seen that he’s the bookies’ odds-on favourite for Celtic. Chris Wilder was second on the list....
@powmillnaemore German managers are in vogue at the moment (Klopp, Tuchel, Nagelsmann) but I couldn't think of one who wasn't already at a bigger cl...
Eddie Howe would do nicely for me. Or if you want someone a bit more left-field and in the mould of a former successful player, Giovanni van Bronkho...
@ken It's a good one, Ken. If pre-Premier League players are allowed, I can think of: Graeme Souness (Liverpool) Craig Johnstone (Liverpool...
Great posts Werder and good to have your thoughts. I do share many of your concerns particularly around the playing style and longevity of the curre...
@original-fat-bob Thanks Bob, and for all your openers and informed posts throughout the season. A solid, consistent goalkeeper is an absolute mus...
@jarkko With Derby playing Sheff Wed (what a game), I think Wycombe would have to beat us by at least fourteen goals to stay up, Jarkko.
@plato I’m not saying that we should sign Diedhiou, just that basing your signings on their stats at other clubs isn’t the best way to go about it. ...
Agree on the Bristol City striker’s record not being particularly good. A couple of points to put into the mix though.... Firstly, as we’ve seen f...
I think the main problem for Liverpool this season has simply been the astonishing number of injuries they’ve suffered at centre back. Even the midfie...
A bit like the Rotherham game, not an absolutely convincing performance but goals and a win and better football overall. Steps in the right direction ...
