Really good read that. I especially enjoyed the contrast between the guest writer's calm tactical insight and your cutting put-downs under the pictures of regular DW nemeses

Would love a piece on Sven.

Would love a piece on Sven.

I'm away for a couple of days now but I'll see what I can do when I get back

Good read.

Was struggling to decide who wrote the picture captions until "look at his stupid face" accompanying Lage, then I knew.

 

[Alan]

So disrespectful; I hear he’s a “professor”.

That all makes sense to me, maybe you and DW should apply when GON gets the bullet?

Cheers. Every day's a school day.

Damn kids with your newfangled phraseology!

I swear "low block" wasn't terminology until 3 years ago now it's used everywhere.

It was certainly described as what we did under Nuno.

The conclusion that we won’t play one of Lemina, Gomes or Andre seems unlikely.

 

[sycophantia]

The conclusion that we won’t play one of Lemina, Gomes or Andre seems unlikely.

He doesn't make that conclusion does he? Says that triumvirate is a strong one with Andre playing 6 and the other 2 box to box I thought.

“Personally, I think the occasions where Lemina, J.Gomes and André all take the field together could be few and far between.”

 

[Lycan]

The conclusion that we won’t play one of Lemina, Gomes or Andre seems unlikely.

We'll see what happens with time. Yesterday he reverted right back to how we played last season. If that's how he's going to set us up again there's no room for all 3.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Andre hasn't come to be back up for a ropey prem team and we've all noticed how much we need a 6. If GON doesn't want them on the pitch together then Gomes will have to be dropped which is a shame. Maybe he's hoping 4231 will work better with a proper 6. It should do.
