Never seen such pointless energy wasted on a player.
He’s a road runner with zero IQ. End thread.

I'm indifferent.
A part of me feels Rogers needs to be stronger there. Literally grabbed and tossed like a rag doll.
Rice and Lewis-Skelly getting away with cheap fouls Pep Guardiola would be proud of and not getting punished is what bothered me the most.

+ Bruno and Merino. I think I am starting to agree that it should be Scott + Wharton instead of one or the other.
Not sure why Alonso didn't bring on Barco, especially for some creativity, needing a goal.

0-3-9 Vs Arsenal
0-3-9 Vs Man City
2-2-4 Vs Man Utd
2-4-3 Vs Liverpool
4 wins in 41. The levels BlueCo have taken us down to is awful. And some people expect more positivity from me? What have we had to be positive about under this ownership? Yeah, it's so much fun going into every game just waiting for us to lose....

Every single flick is going through our players like they aren’t even there.

And why was Lacroix booked exactly?

There is still a lot of confusion with Hato/Rogers defensively.

Last 10 minutes I feel we improved defensively. All half thought we were flat footed and second to everything.

Spurs now 225+ minutes without scoring a PL goal

Currently rock bottom in the Championship.

When these journalists flat-out fabricate a story, I wish the club would counter it by revealing its own story.
"Cameron Smith could very well have a small penis. Read more here."

Last 5 years.

Absolute nonsense.
Lahm, Alaba, and Kimmich are generational outliers, not templates. Bayern didn’t “convert defenders into midfielders every three years” because the roles are interchangeable; they did it because those players had elite midfield traits long before the positional switch. Lahm was basically a midfielder in disguise and is the smartest player he's ever coached, per Guardiola. Alaba played everywhere growing up. Kimmich was a 6 before he was a full‑back.
A CB in a high line still plays with the entire game in front of him. That’s not midfield, and it’s nowhere close to operating as a midfielder. Pretending those roles overlap is just ignoring the fundamentals. Midfield success depends on things you can’t shortcut. Anticipation, tempo control, technical ability, constant scanning, and the intelligence to solve pressure in tight spaces. These aren’t traits any defender can “pick up”. They’re core midfield behaviours that defenders simply don’t develop by default, and your example of 3 generational players proves as much.
Acting like a CB can step into midfield and replicate that because of modern positioning is, frankly, farcical. You’re treating one of the most cognitively demanding roles on the pitch as if it’s a plug and play skill set. It isn’t, and no amount of tactical buzzwords makes it so. If you were even remotely right, Van Dijk would already be a world-class #6, Pep would have kept Stones at DM permanently, and the TAA in midfield experiment wouldn't have been abandoned the very moment it started.

I thought Saliba was injured?

r/whoosh

Keep Lavia fit.
Caicedo sorts out what's bothering him.
Barco isn't any worse than Santos.

I mean, we really need these three things to happen for our midfield to not be a hindrance.

I think missing out on a CM just left a sour taste to what's been a fantastic window.

I see Gusto in midfield I’m going to the gym.
