Ideal time to begin the Gana phase out, and I don’t say that because of the other night. I’ll happily have him start for us again, he apologised immediately, move on. However his self-then-AFCON forced extended absence makes us try life without...

I mean if we’re getting 30m or something crazy like that for Garner you absolutely do it

Not going to post more of these but he got it off the CBs a little against Spurs too and that was a disaster. Some of that is about how much settled possession we can actually have. I just don't see it as being structurally different yet. No two...

Here is Fulham (I'm skipping United because ten men isn't reflective): Here is Sunderland: Here is West Ham two months ago: Nothing has really changed in a significant way. You can argue maybe we've just been playing 4-3-3 the whole time...

Are you saying that because it’s different or because the result was different so you’re assuming we had to make a change?

I really don’t know what people think they’re seeing when they say things like this. The system has not been changed in any meaningful way. Dewsbury-Hall has had a natural bias toward the left side the entire season.

There is no benefit to Ndiaye playing centrally

I’m genuinely curious what an American run does for anyone?

Look the red card is the reason for this and I fully expect we would have had a different game without it but we didn’t have a shot after the goal. It’s just mythologizing what happened to say this was some kind of largely positive showing...

Palace most used non regular starter in defense is someone called Jaydee Canvot

Our team right now is not considerably less talented than Palace

The FA Cup run would be a lot more attainable if the first half of the season saw more progress in the general level of play from the team. Palace didn’t just luck a cup run, they got significantly better to the point that they could reliably win...

Sure, we have one right now in Ndiaye and frankly he’s going to need to make significantly more to play for us at the start of next season.

I think that’s probably true in time. I do not think it is right now. And even then there are going to be players we cannot keep. It’s important that we’re prepared for this and can deal with this. There are only two football clubs in the world...

No, but paying good wages is how you keep good players
