we need someone to torpedo the transfers when the new owners come in and flex their might
The only figure I could see coming in and turning their fortunes round quickly is Ancelotti. He's used to working with complete dickhead squads full of egos and bitches, and pull them into an effective team. Yes, they've overpaid and are going to be overpaying for quite a while, but there are plenty of talented footballers there if someone could motivate them correctly and find an effective brand of football to allow them to gain confidence. So lets hope it doesn't happen.
exactly who Simon Jordan said, have we rumbled your true identity?
Oh shit, I can only say I'm ashamed that he and I are on the same side of something.
I dont think so in all honesty. He's best form and performances have been in a 3-4-2-1 playing as the 10 behind the striker. He wouldnt have been a good fit in the role that Szobo have now. Not going for Mount was a great decision.
You must feel the power of the dark side, go to it
..... redcafe has a new thread started on Hansi Flick :-D
What kind of analysis is this?
"final third problem" - It's called being shit at football. At one end of the scale is Liverpool, City, Brighton, Newcastle and on the other end is you and Sheffield United. It's not rocket science.
.. and that would be a whoosh. So we have a quiff closely followed by a whoosh ... a quoosh or a whiff?
...which goes to show what a pile of @rse stats can be, probably more often than we like to think.
The problem with stats like this (xG) is that, as I learnt in the casino business, you need to have sufficient data for them to mean anything. For example to see which croupiers were on the take/poor, we'd need to evaluate their table's figures over months to have enough data for the statistics to prove their honesty, we would then be able to exclude luck or a few big winners.
For the casino as a whole we'd use a year's data. This was highlighted in a casino I worked in once in Amsterdam, our blackjack tables were losing night after night and this went on for nearly 3 months (with the croupiers, of which at that time I was one, under intense scrutiny)! However the tide turned and in the 4th month we couldn't lose and gained everything back plus the win % we were due. To an extent all football data needs to be looked at with the same sort of provisos (even though luck doesn't play a part in casino stats and football doesn't have a set win percentage).
Arsenal doing Arsenal stuff:
Mail Sport understands that Arsenal will include: •
VAR Lee Mason not drawing the offside lines prior to Ivan Toney’s equaliser for Brentford (February 2023).
Gabriel Martinelli goal vs. Manchester United (a) wrongly disallowed (September 2022).
Manchester City’s Mateo Kovacic escaping a red card for his challenge on Martin Ødegaard & then subsequent tackle on Declan Rice, which again escaped further punishment (October 2023).

Erik ten Hag believes Manchester United can go on a winning run when more stable, but the manager does not expect Lisandro Martínez and Casemiro to return before Christmas to help achieve this aim.
Martínez has been out since late September with a foot injury while Casemiro suffered a hamstring problem at Newcastle.
