Tuchel has made some statement about not necessarily picking the 26 best players, but the 26 best teammates. Which is a fucking joke when he's selected Ivan fucking Toney.
-
He was asked about Bowen and said his club have been struggling and some players have benefited because they have won the league and Champions league (Madueke and Eze) yet then was wittering on about how good Spence was. Assume he’s failed to notice how fucking shit Spurs are.
-
Basically, he's picked some players cos he rates them and left some out cos he doesn't. And then come up with the justifications afterwards. For good or ill, that's what he's paid a fortune to do.
As ever with squad announcements, everyone's getting very worked up about a bunch of players who aren't/ weren't going to play much, if at all.
I still think Morgan should have been picked but it isn't going to make much difference, except to him, in the broader scope of things.
-
And to Forest (assuming he isn’t sold in the summer).
He’ll be well rested and have a massive point to prove at the start of next season. -
He won't be with us next season.
-
He also talked about picking a squad for all situations - chasing a game, penalties etc.
I think penalties is a huge clue as to why Toney is going. -
So we're going out on penalties with Toney missing. If I could give a shit, I'd be fuming at your lack of respect for the football Gods. But I don't, and Toney missing the penalty that puts us out would be quite funny. Bravo.
-
I’d be surprised if we sold MGW and Anderson.
In fact, we’d be pretty fucked.
-
I don’t know if you’ve noticed but you do tend towards the negative. It’s obviously not certain that Gibbs White will leave. Just as it was never as certain as you were that we were getting relegated this season.
-
Noni Madueke goes off injured....
-
Becks will get a call up. Great for the dressing room and the brand.
-
Might not be Beck's. The Saudi's will have a strong word to get someone picked to represent their league.
Hold on. They've got one. You're right, the yanks might draft Beck's after all.
-
I enjoy a bit of Cold War Steve.
Jim’ll Paint It has also done some cracking artwork. -
The lesser spotted Dan Ndoye scored for Switzerland today.
-
AoNZ lost 4-0 to the international powerhouses of Haiti. But 3 of the goals were scored after Bindon was rested, so there's that.
We aren't going to score because we can't get Wood the ball.
