Romey 1878 Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 Mostly a boring game but it’s another game unbeaten against a top 6 side, and a game that we’ve shown that we can score against them and cause them problems. I’ll take that in a game that had basically nothing riding on it. MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better players and more balanced squad and Silva has only managed to finish 2 points closer to 6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted May 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 i turned it on and we were down 1-0, fought back for 2-2 at their place. happy with that to finish the campaign. solid 8th place and optimistic outlook.

I think it's more the point we were only missing one player who is highly influential for us, two if you count Coleman who has been in good form. Spurs were missing their talisman in kane, Vertongen and Sanches who are two highly important defenders for them, rose their first choice LB, Son one of their best players and Winks and Foyth. Dier was played out of position and their striker was Llorente. Id expect us to beat spurs with that team fielded along with a CL final coming soon. As for our own squad, the fact that Silva didn't start Kenny speaks volumes. He clearly doesn't rate him at all, not even to play in a nothing game and would rather play a loan player who won't even be here next season out of position in his spot. pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got a better and more balanced squad thanks to Brands. The two goal scorers today were bought under Allardyce. If you only look at the difference between Digne compared to Martina/Baines we had last season, I'd expect the gap to be closed by more than two points. As far as I can see Silva was only responsible for one signing, Richarlison. We had much more need for a centre mid and it is telling that he went for the flair player rather than the powerful one in Dacoure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New manager wants a player you're gonna back him. The budget only goes so far, and Brands done well to bring in a centre mid in Gomes on loan.

The money was wasted over the 3 years before Brands and Silva landed. Now we have to clear the squad of the big wages and shit players.
