Turns out Fulham were the bar.

Windy’s rallying cry 🗣️

Won't happen of course. Bunch of miserable grumbly bastards in the stadium.

Windy nails it on TEI.
The board's a joke.
Lange is a joke.
The players are playing like shit.
But what matters now is getting behind the team and staying up.

The players need to know they are backed by the fans. Backs against the wall. WHL needs to be hostile to the opposition, not ourselves.

Pretty sure this pushes them further in the direction of making the least impactful decision and putting it on the coaches to challenge for e.g a penalty / red card.

It also removes the pressure for quick decisions as it now becomes an active choice to ask for one, so we'll spend ages a la rugby.

Why would this result in more goals? Defenders will be forced deeper to compensate.

And it is still drawing lines between body parts. Now it will be a heel offside.

This will result in deeper defensive lines, not more attacking.

This makes pushing up the defensive line much riskier.

This seems completely obvious to me.

Baffling that they are selling it based on this obvious nonsense.

All of arsenal's corners would have been fouls on the keeper 10 years ago.

Now do the refereeing performance prem acct.

Nobody else gets this shit.

Great track.

*dream being in large part a boatload of cash.

I usually think 'statement' signings are nonsense, but if we stay up Spurs need to do something to say they're serious, for both existing players and future signings.

Find someone out of favour and sell them a dream*, somehow.

Osimhen comes to mind, but probably isn't the right profile.

Please think of the medical team.

Not if the bin is more than 6m away.

Annoying that we're persisting with them. Danso is the only player in the squad who can actually throw it flat and hard enough to even try it.

He's on now - hope he makes me look like a mug.

Genuinely laughed out loud. Absolutely fair.

Richarlison will never win over spurs fans, and he's often frustrating as hell to watch, but his scoring record is legitimately good.

We just had 2/3s of a season of terrorist ball. The whole league is playing terrorist ball and they're better at it than us.

This squad needs to press high - running is all we've brought in so let's run.

I'd kill to have hojberg. He'd be our best midfielder.

We just subbed off the guy that we brought in for 'leadership' as well, with this context and game state.

Imo genuine relegation threat is where you look at the squad and say, for example, radu dragusin is miles off, I'm willing to take a huge loss on him in the summer by buying a good CB now and being overstocked.

See also bentancur/bissouma or both.

OR don't do that and then do a smug interview.

We should bring on those creative players we brought in since Maddison got injured.

He's more lightweight than Gray.
He's never played at this level and the pace of this league is light years above Brazil.
He's got 50ish fewer games senior experience than Gray at any level.
We're in a relegation battle.

He's not a left back. He's someone who might be a left back in 2 years.
He looked like he had potential in a league lower than the championship.
Could be a better punt than Gray, but he's going to be raw, he's going to be a lot more light weight, and he's not going to be up to the pace of the PL.

Souza is a kid from Brazil. He should be out on loan. He's never played football at this level.

Yet Lange still has a job, somehow.

Souza has never played remotely at this level. He should be on loan in championship or lower, and we should have bought someone to play LB who is mid 20s and playing in a top 5 league.

It's been a problem for 3 seasons now.

Most teams think about how they are going to play in possession BEFORE February.
And buy midfielders who can fucking pass.
