Player of the season, easily

MrTechno

Really liked him when he was at Dortmund and first came over but his seemingly constant whinging has made me dislike him somewhat. That being said he’s been a fantastic manager and the standard of the league will likely be weaker without him - depending on how long Pep stays then city will dominate ...

MrTechno

Thought we were superb second half and looked every inch a premier league side. Hope this bodes well for the future, it’ll be very difficult but we’ve given ourselves a glimmer of hope. Special shout outs to Brownhill who bar Everton has put in some smashing performances lately, “he’s here he’s ther...

It was a good game

Bloody top lad

MrTechno

In the ebb and flow of this season, a tapestry of frustration unfolds, the team often adrift in moments of uncertainty. The aftermath of defeat casts shadows of unbearable weight, weaving a tapestry of misery and despair within the recesses of the mind, a stark departure from the triumphs of the pre...

Anticipatory: a mixture of excitement but also anxiousness it could go wrong

MrTechno

Love this thread, so brilliant to see. Well done Jack for sorting this out for people. Hope all those that are have a great time in Belgium and enjoy the game.

MrTechno

Sounds belting, have a good time and thanks for the relay.

MrTechno

Did anyone see Al Dakhil or Tresor play? Scouting report please… Ameen didn’t have a lot to do but the most pleasing thing about it was that he was barking instructions at the other players. To have that confidence on your debut at such a young age is fantastic. Tresor didn’t have a lot of time to ...

MrTechno

Vinnie. Makes it all the more incredible as to what he’s achieved at 37 years old. Amazing.

MrTechno

I'm surprised Swansea at home and Norwich away are yet to be mentioned. Both games made a BIG statement to me. Swansea were in great form playing lovely football and Norwich early ish in the season was seen as a difficult place to go and one of the fancied teams. Yes agree, Swansea was the first ti...

MrTechno

I was really keen on runs and breaking records earlier on in the season, now that the points total looks beyond us once promotion and then the title is wrapped up it’s about next season. That means keeping some sort of momentum going but also integrating players a bit more, like foster and looking a...

MrTechno

If Kompany wants to keep BPF as backup keeper then he has to play yesterday. Thought Foster was fine yesterday and certainly no worse than Barnes.

MrTechno

I assume you’re using Juve as an example just because of their redesigned badge (which I like) and not including honesty in their list of qualities upon which they’ve furthered their brand? I’m defiantly not including Juve in terms of their honesty haha. That was in reference to some of our qualiti...

MrTechno

I think we could do with looking at a re-brand over the next year, if we haven’t started that process already (but I would say that given I work in brand design and teach graphic design). That doesn’t mean changing the badge - however that’s something I’d look at - but establishing a clear message t...

Loved how Warnock was cupping his ear to the CFS as soon as he came out the tunnel for the first time today. Absolutely fair play. I like him.

Yeah loved it, he’s a character and fair play to him.

MrTechno

Not quite at it tonight with passes going a miss, control letting players down or final balls not working. It seemed like it would be one of those games, however this side has shown various different forms and today it was ‘strong jaw’, we never let up, the commitment was fantastic and we got our re...

MrTechno

Thanks for posting and good luck with the writing. I was impressed with Ipswich when we played them, all the best.

MrTechno

He was good at the start of the season but recently he’s been even better, simply a wonderful footballer.

MrTechno

Think it’d be good to give a couple of the fringe players a run out but not switch it up too drastically so they get game time with the ‘first teamers’, as well as getting some mins in the legs of Vithino coming back from injury. I’d also like to see more on brownhill in a deeper role BPF Vithino ed...

MrTechno

“Although the transfer fee is undisclosed, it has been reported that it is the highest fee ever paid for a South African footballer, shattering the €3.6m Spurs paid Everton for Steven Pienaar in 2011. That report from ‘The South African’ suggests we’ve paid €7m with a further €3m in add ons to follo...

MrTechno

His quality going forward has been plain to see but over the last few weeks he’s defending has really come on. Great player.

MrTechno

Good luck to him. If he does well, chances of us getting our money back on him increase (Besiktas' option wasn't worth much to us - the option was in their favour so was basically a maximum purchase price and didn't guarantee us anything). If he doesn't go particularly well then we'll have him back...

MrTechno

Regarding championship transfer fees I think the highest are Watkins (just a bit under the £30 mill mark) and Benrahma (between £30 - £35 mill mark)

MrTechno

The main thing for me is that we get mins for twine, churlinov and possibly dervisoglu - if he’s seen as having a role to play in the coming season. Personally I’d go pretty strong to give them experience with playing with the main of the first team, with possibly only BPF and Taylor coming in.

What is Benson's injury?

Think he’s fine. Was walking around at the end and Kompany said he’d basically just run himself into the ground. Think he was taken off with an eye on Birmingham.

MrTechno

Love this thread. Well done JD

MrTechno

I truly think Twine will make such a difference. We win a ton of well placed free kicks and do naff all with them. You look at his goals last season and just think the joy he could have. Really hope the lad is fully fit and gets the chance - the spaces we make suit a player who fancies a long range...

MrTechno

A pulsating wk end of football ahead, with the return of the clarets on Sunday and the quarter final Saturday evening. At the start of the season VK talked about getting to the break in touch with the playoffs and then having the time to really get the message through, work with the players and have...

MrTechno

Great reliving the journey. Never thought we’d have done half of what we did under Dyche, what an incredible achievement and transformed the club beyond recognition. I remember the Hull game at home and thinking we’d appointed a dud, how wrong I was.

MrTechno

What a fantastic experience for him and as Zaltan has said will come back a better player for it - more experienced and likely to be motivated to get a starting birth for his national side.

MrTechno

Wrong mentality for me is that. You can't go through this league thinking some games will be easier than others. Pick your strongest possible side for every game. Use subs wisely but giving people a rest because "It's only Rotherham" is the wrong way to go about it. Yeah that’s definitely one way o...

MrTechno

A fantastic late win yesterday. Some selection decisions to be made in relation to the next two games with THB and Brownhill a booking away from missing the Sheff United game, the possible need to keep Jay fresh and Benson banging on the door for a start. Personally I’d bring in Taylor for Harwood-B...

MrTechno

I think he’s been unfairly derided because he wears pants and doesn’t boot it / takes more risk then keepers we’ve been used to but he was at times poor and wasn’t great for the second today. Mind you I’m watching Motd and Ederson gave the ball to welbeck (who should have done better), then got beat...

MrTechno

Exceptional talent. Hope we can keep hold of him.

Oooooooo ooooooo oh
Oooooooo ooooooo oh
He stood there laughing
Ha ha ha ha
On the ball and you’ll smile no more

My my my zaroury
Why why why zarouy
So before they head to the exit door
Forgive them zarouy they can’t take anymore

MrTechno

Muric 7 - did everything he needed to Vitinho 9 - really good performance, great combo with tella Harwood-Bellis 7 good performance, soild Beyer 8 can’t believe he’s so young, opens up the game when he brings it out Maatsen 8 fantastic, energetic performance, much improved defensively Cork 8 ticked ...

MrTechno

Made the game look easy today, made the right decision every time. There was a period of play in the first half where it was congested on the touch line and he made a simple first time pass to get out of the situation, it wasn’t some great piece of skill but illustrated his maturity, technique and v...

MrTechno

BPF 7 - did everything as he should have Vitinho 8 - grew into the game and some nice touches Maatsen 7 - played safe first half, second much better Beyer 7 - looks a player and was playing very well but rightly hooked as was a red waiting to happen Harwood-Bellis 7 - similar to maatsen, much better...

MrTechno

Muric 7 - probably should have done better for the goal but made a really important save and good distribution. Some fans need to get off his back. Roberts 6 - not his best game but solid enough, slowed the game down at times and should have fed benson more when he was causing all sort of problems T...

MrTechno

Zaroury looks a player but very young, new to the league so will need managing - both by the management and then fans. Beyer looked very assured but not really pressured. We’re still a work in progress, we need to get better and find that killer pass but plenty to be pleased about. Loads of options ...

MrTechno

Went there around 10 years ago, the most unEuropean city that I’ve ever been to and that’s what made it enthralling. It’s rough around the edges but has a great soul and isn’t touristy, for me that’s what made it special. The food and drink is amazing. It’s not for everyone and it has its very dodgy...

MrTechno

Wasn’t sure he was a CB at first but seems to be growing into the role, getting better each game.

MrTechno

I have no idea, I think realistically promotion has got to be achieved this season. It will just get harder each year we stay down, Due to the various financial reasons. Just trying to get a bit of clarity from people that are saying be patient. I take it from your post you think promotion is reali...

MrTechno

Nice one, what better site than seeing the turf full? Thanks for posting.

MrTechno

Maatsen looks a terrific player but I'm fully expecting rotation at full/wing back because Kompany's system demands for much of the role. Similar to Pochetino, who used to have midweek full backs and weekend full backs at Spurs. Taylor is also an excellent left back and I imagine he'll get plenty i...

MrTechno

Congratulations Liam, to you and your wife, from your old A Level teacher. It’s great to see you’ve become a success and seem to be enjoying life!!!

MrTechno

That first half performance was mind blowing. I’ve been a mixture of quiet optimism but the selling of McNeil a couple of days before knocked the stuffing out of that. I wasn’t sure what to expect at all, thought it would be cagey and disjointed but was anything but. You’ve said it was a bit Arsenal...
