No depends on the context of you use it in sectarian way then yes if it’s an abbreviation of “honey” then you wontThat sums you up, calling someone a Hun, which by the way in Scotland's against the law.
Is that why Attila never visited Scotland?
Correlation ≠ causation.Well it did come out of nowhere seeing as we hadn't played it until that point.
And you're right it could be a coincidence. Hell of a coincidence mind.

Can't agree with that at all. The change in formation and tactics (as in there are some) has made us a completely different team.My 2 bobs worth, we had 3 straight games Palace, Liverpool and Luton where he thought too much about the opposition and either set us up poorly pre game or the in game changes were negative. From City onwards he's focused more on what we can do and we look a better side for it. I think that change in mentality is more important than the change in formation which it coincides with.
Yep, as per the build up thread, I'd hope if Semedo was available, we'd have gone with a back 4. Once Doherty is playing though, particularly with an injury, I think he had to start the game with the formation he did.I don't think we should have started with three centre halves yesterday and we definitely should have changed it sooner, even before the red card.
I hope he's more flexible with his thinking on that front, again we should not play that shape against Sheff Utd or Fulham.
Can't agree, Gomes was the problem yesterday not the formation and as soon as he was replaced we completely controlled the game. The change to 5 at the back is why we've seen a considerable improvement in form. Dawson and Kilman look infinitely better as part of a 5.I don't think we should have started with three centre halves yesterday and we definitely should have changed it sooner, even before the red card.

I don't mind the 3 at the back set up but when the opposition go down to 10 you have to change it.I don't think we should have started with three centre halves yesterday and we definitely should have changed it sooner, even before the red card.

Cause and effect.Can't agree, Gomes was the problem yesterday and as soon as he was replaced we completely controlled the game. The change to 5 at the back is why we've seen a considerable improvement in form. Dawson and Kilman look infinitely better as part of a 5.
I don't think Lemina would've been much more effective in the role Gomes was asked to do. He wasn't crap but he isn't creative and GoN asked him to do that role and that's a mistake as it would be with Lemina.The impact of not having Semedo and Lemina available was significant enough, changing formation too would have been a risk.
Also, Doherty isn't a great wingback anymore, but he's far worse as a fullback, which is where he'd play in a 4.
Jonny is way off unfortunately as we saw against City.
5 at the back was entirely the right thing to do, you just can't legislate for Gomes putting in such a crap performance - which underlines how important Lemina is.
Me either, but I think Gomes was severely effected by Lemina's absence.I don't think Lemina would've been much more effective in the role Gomes was asked to do. He wasn't crap but he isn't creative and GoN asked him to do that role and that's a mistake as it would be with Lemina.
As a pair of spoilers/ box-to-box midfielders I think they're excellent and against good teams I think we need them. Against the weaker teams we will need somebody more creative.Me either, but I think Gomes was severely effected by Lemina's absence.
That's how we set up v Luton?Against weaker opposition you could easily go:
------------------Sa---------------------
Semedo----Dawson----Kilman----Ait-Nouri
----------------Lemina---------------------
----------Doyle----Bellegarde--------------
-------Hwang---Cunha---Neto---------------
I will be disappointed if we stick with the current belt and braces set up at Bramall Lane against a team who are likely to have 1 point from 10 games at that point.
