I will be really sad when Myko gets pushed to the bench. It will mean we have improved the starting lineup, but he is good, if not excellent at what he does. He has consistently made some the leagues best wingers look frustrated (Salah, Saka...
Just saw that Real Sociedad lost their friendly against Varen Nagasaki last night 1-0. Kubo only came on at half time and was taken off on 72min..
No idea behind context, was he injured? was it a token gesture to play a few minutes? was he...
It's a high priority for me. We can't be sure how well Tarks will come back from his injury and our best pairing if he isn't available is JOB and Branthwaite.
I'd prefer proper attacking full backs but JOB is not a disaster. Think we'll go for a RB if we can but it's not high priority.
If we can't get one in I see us doing what a lot of teams do where one of the full backs tuck in and it becomes a...

Weird take if you think he was poor last season tbh.
Gana has been like that most of his career. However, he was much more disciplined, positionally, last season.
Perhaps Garner isn’t a box to box midfielder and that’s why you get many vanilla performances from him there. But he’s not an...
One of the best tacklers in Europe too. His stats are pretty good in this area year after year. I read somewhere that he had 100+ tackles 7 years in a row in Europe, a feat not many have achieved. In my opinion he is underrated not overrated...
I remember that summer. Gravesen and Nyarko were the exciting signings. Shame about the latter.
Walters first summer - Materazzi, Dacourt, and Collins - there was a lot of expectation then too.
Yeah I assume this is pretty standard in a case like that where one player is going to get bums on seats. Probably even more so with Sociedad / Kubo because there’s no draw there whatsoever without him.
Just on Kubo travelling with Sociedad to Japan.. appears there might be something called a ‘key player clause’…this snippet on Tottenhams Son was interesting:
Tottenham would miss out on as much as 75% of their fee for playing in Seoul if Son is...
