Yep, Friel is a right back. 18yo and been spotted in photos on Twitter training with the first team. |

Because Varane doesn't go forward we are easy to defend against.
In all teams your 6 should be the most creative as all attacks will start with him. He wins the ball and moves it on, but quickly. Varane doesn't do this.
Both Varane and Field are massive problems because their passing and vision is p!ss poor. They create NOTHING. How many assists have the pair got?
1 ASSIST ALL SEASON BETWEEN THEM !!!! From our central midfield pairing. Jesus, that is dog shyte.
Some can moan about missed chances, referees, poor defending etc but that is the biggest problem in this team. To easy to defend against.
And for those saying Varane has potential, he is 24 in September, he better start improving soon so we can flog him. |

Lie. They have been confirmed as fighting by South Korean Intelligence and they have been captured.
I hate these political threads as all the right wing nut jobs and apologists appear. |

There were options for him, but his body shape is completely wrong when receiving the ball. So it either goes straight back where it came from, or by the time he turns he is either under pressure or the passing lanes have been blocked.
A good central midfielder has already made his mind up where the ball is going before he has received it. Therefore the pass is quicker and players are free to receive.
Varane (and Field) can't do it hence we are slow and predictable.
Anyone else notice that we have become much more of a counterattack team with the ball bypassing the central midfield, rather than dominating teams? Because we have no one in central midfield good enough to control a game. |

They did yesterday. We never looked like winning once they got the first goal, it was almost like a training ground game for them at some points in the first half.
We rarely threatened in the second half, and not at all after we scored the penalty. I thought they did well, allowing Varane to pick the ball up deep knowing he won't/can't create anything. And Varane created naff all. |

Thank God, I thought it was just me. Second half we were crying out for him to pick a forward pass and he either turned back or just to took the wrong option. He was so deep my son said he thought Varane would make a decent centre back.
If you also have an entire stadium shouting 'turn' or 'forward' at a professional footballer then that kind of highlights it is a big problem.
A number 6 needs to be creative, pick a pass to split a defence from deep, but he can't do it. How many times has a ball been slipped through for our striker to run onto one on one and score? I think it might of been Celars goal against Cardiff!
We have become predictable over the past 5 or 6 weeks as teams know we have no threat centrally. We've even become a little boring to watch, trying to do the same thing again and again using width. It's very frustrating. |

They walked that game, and never had to get out of 2nd gear. Their midfield bossed ours, their movement was better, their control of the game was better. Nothing wrong with that, they spent a fortune and are still pretty crap and they'll get battered next season.
We are still unable to control a game and put sustained pressure on teams, we are a counter attack team due to the ongoing problem in central midfield.
We gave it a good go though, but Sheff Utd deserved it. |

At fault for the first goal, and let's players drift past him. Did exactly the same against Derby, but got away with it. He is poor defensively, so very Spursy.
Unless he is here next season, I don't know why we are allowing other teams players make mistakes at our expense. |

If fans are blaming the referee for a defeat then that is desperate.
Nothing to do with the referee, linesman or 4th official. Sheff Utd were better, end of.
And the person who through the object should be banned for life. Embarrassing. |

He is 34 in April and will be a free agent by June. He'll be released.
As soon as we are mathematical safe the team should be picked with an eye on next season.
I keep saying it, but we have got a big rebuilding job come the summer, and is probably our most important.
My son and I were chatting on the way home yesterday and agreed that Marti has done as much with this group of players as he can. I wouldn't be surprised if he walks in the summer. |

Cook is finished. First 5 minutes he had a 5 yard head start on one their players and the bloke breezed past him.
Never the quickest, the injury has robbed him of a yard of pace. He struggled all afternoon and has since coming back.
Morrison should be brought in ASAP. |

I thought Colback was good. Does the simple things well, talking all the time to the referee and our own players. 35yo though, but we'll miss it next season. |

Jeepers, really. In the ground, you have everyone shouting forward and turn at him every time he receives the ball. Their midfield bossed it today which they should with the money they have spent.
I think Marti has gotten about everything out of this team that he can. |

Beautiful day and perfect for football. The only thing I hope today is that Morgan plays in the 8 role so I don't have to sit through 90 minutes of Field and Varane passing everywhere but forward.
1-0 Rangers. |

I try not to comment on political stuff on here, but was so shocking I have to. Two things that are apparent:
Vance is much more dangerous than Trump. A very intelligent man (law degree from Harvard etc), but is much further right wing than Trump. He wouldn't be out of place as a character in The Handmaid's Tale.
Secondly, after these next four years you can see the Republican party ripping itself apart due to infighting and ideological differences.
I am just shocked that the US has now sunk to such lows. Shameful and boorish behaviour that shows any lack of class or decency. Embarrassed for Americans who didn't vote for this.

Hhmmmm that Madsen signing could prove to be a big problem going forward. The bloke doesn't even play in the DS. I just hope they've got him in the gym.
The difference between the PL and everyone else is huge, but teams have proved it can be overcome, so there are not really any excuses.
I think we will do it, but it's going to take time and patience and being very sensible and astute.
I think as fans we also need, as a group, to allow the club that time and space.
Yeah, right. |

Agree. It is a very achievable goal to reach the PL, and remain there, as long as the club is being run correctly. Look at us this year, cut adrift in November to 4 points off the play offs come February. With a not great team.
Get it right off the pitch and success will naturally follow. I am actually very optimistic for the next few seasons now. |
