The tactical instruction isn't just to 'play it out from the back lads, no matter what situation you're in'. Gary O'Neil is clearly very detailed in his tactical instructions, those players will be going out there with specific instructions on how to play in almost every scenario during the...

No manager on planet earth wants their CB to play that pass the way Pond played it.

No, absolutely not. It's not as simple as 'play it into the middle', that pass was never the right option and no manager in their right mind would want their CB to play it.

Nah, no way he's been asked to make that pass. They aren't just asked to play out from the back, they're asked to do it in a certain way and that pass was never a good idea.

Seen João get a lot of stick for losing the ball in the build up to the first goal and while he definitely could've done better the pass into him was atrocious and the team was boxed into that position by Sá dawdling on the ball beforehand. Whichever CH it was that played the pass into Gomes...

"I haven't checked, but if you go through the odds that go out before matches, I would guess we've been second favourite in all of them so far, and we probably will be for the next few as well. So, we are having to fight against the odds at the minute in the games, we're doing enough in them to...

Fair play to anyone bothering to watch this. I'd forgotten it was even on tbh.

You're going to have to come up with a new name for 'Mini Langers'!

I think I've been in a pub called the Anvil across the road from the Bonnyrigg Rose ground. Fucking midden.

Agree with everything apart from this. We're 4 games in. Even after this tough run it'll be too early.

I'm not quite at the stage where I'm disagreeing with people clinging to (in my mind) false positives like I was at the end of Lage, Jackett etc. There are genuinely things to like about this team and manager. Arsenal might be the best team in the world right now, I think we'll look back on...

Tony Bloom investing in Hearts

I was thinking about what Deutsch said earlier about what would happen to our squad if we go down. Johnstone - Stay Sá - Sold Bentley - Stay King - Stay Semedo - Out of contract so would leave Lima - Stay Doherty - Unfortunately he probably stays Hoever - They'd probably keep him as he now...

He's a brilliant manager but he wouldn't stand for the shit Jeff Shi pulls.

Ah, missed that. Throwing the game then. Won't be watching, ta.
