In previous eras there was a much higher percentage of players with the characteristics that suit them to this role. I understand that tactics and football has changed, but that has not changed the physical attributes of the pool of players. So where are they all?
None of the rumoured deals seemed right. We’ve already made a very large number of signings. Yes we could do with quality cover, but not at any cost, either financial or in terms of team spirit. I do wonder if this will be a blessing in disguise. Let’s hope we can keep our key players healthy.
It’s interesting how people perceive the window. If we’d made even one of our marquee signings today instead of three weeks ago everyone would be happy. And yet we’re actually in the better position.
The more I think about it, the more I think we utterly wasted those pre-tournament friendlies trying to decide which players could warm the bench. When I see England play at the moment, I see players unsure of where their teammates are, or where they are likely to run, leading to disjointed play and slow movement of the ball, leading to few chances created. This is the kind of thing that requires time on the pitch together to get an understanding between players who rarely play together. So why spend so much time handwringing over who is going to come to the tournament and sit on the bench? Just seems odd and a waste (with the benefit of hindsight, naturally).
Fantastic passing and movement, attacking intent, robust challenges. It was like watching Ipswich. The less said about the other game yesterday the better.
Back by request of nobody, here's a tune that's going round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round my head. Enjoy, or become similarly afflicted, or don't.
So my youngest is in a nursery 4 days a week. He turned 3 in May, so is eligible for the 30 free hours a week from September. Pop quiz - how much are our fees going down (%age wise) from September, given that 3/4 of the days will be supposedly covered by government funding?
