From totally left field, but would Sir Alex be a good Director of Football for us, wonder was he ever asked or considered, worked with David Gill back when he was manager and has all the contacts in the game. SAF our new D. Gill and Ole our new Sir Alex!

The guy just had a brain hemorrhage. We should probably just let him rest. As a football club we should be able to cope without his influence.

We need to move on from his era and try find a new Gill and Fergie rqthen then going back to the old one.

Ihenacho overhyped Ed001? Never, wasn't he 10x the player Rashford is/ was by scoring numerous tap-ins playing for the most attacking team in the league whilst Marcus was playing under LVG's defensive, slow ponderous system? Also nice to see PSG lose the plot since we knocked them out.

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - apparently he was the next big thing. As for PSG they are insane. Truly insane.}

Great read Ed001, by god i detest Neymar and PSG I hate what they stand for it was the perfect way for them to leave the champions league AGAIN 😂.

Welcome mate and the best thing here is that there are many good posters with differing opinions but all good as we all want the best for the club we support. Best is the Eds are well connected and their information is very accurate. Aside from that we have the strong participation from quite a lot in the chatroom during game day. You should join some time. Am sure you will enjoy the atmosphere 🤣🤣.

how does everyone feel about Southgate being baffled by olle picking lingard for the wolves match when the national side already ruled him out of the qualifiers a mean he deserves a crack at the job but that's a school boy error if true definitely for him to really succeed he needs the right people to guide him but for me he has fergie potential and he would of needed help aswell nothing wrong with getting help as long as you reach your goal and the tide is turning for us reds a can feel it guys.

23 Mar 2019 09:27:46
If our medical team passes someone as fit then what else is he meant to do? I doubt he forced Lingard to play.

23 Mar 2019 09:58:49
Many managers have played players injured or not fully fit.

Ed001 hope all is well.
Id like to ask your onion of the england team and how you think the squad is developing under Southgate.
Im not an english fan but for the 1st time really since gazza robson and co in the late 80s early 90s i enjoy watching england.
Players playing with pace and confidence and a surprising amount of technical ability.
I know intl football is not a great barometer especially for epl suitability but i was very impressed with sancho tonight. that's the best I've seen him and he looks a real talent.
The diff between him and hudson odoi is about 50 snr games as he looks a great prospect too. With alli rashford kane sterling and lingard also available thete is a crop of really talented young players to choose from.
Full back options are more than decent in walker trippier TAA. Chilwell shaw rose. Not all great defenders but again at intl level in most games its about overlaps and attacking support.
Gomes should come back soon along with stones maguire keane its possibly at cb where options are not at as high a level. Rice dier hendo give good defencive midfield options.
I feel the missing link is a top midfield playmaker with passing range and tempo setting ability.
Southgate for me has been a revaluation. He broke up the playing on reputation stigma that's been holding England back for years.
Only 1 Liverpool and no united players starting tonight. 2 18yo played.
Ok the opposition were poor tonight they are not the force they once were but England look very much on the up.

{Ed001's Note - sorry no interest in England at all, I don't watch them, so I have no idea. For me international football is my chance to get a break from football.}

23 Mar 2019 08:24:27
England and the FA have set up a DNA of football that is coached all the way down to grassroots .
It has had a huge affect in my area, every local team has a qualified coach coaching to the same principles. This goes right through to the ACC teams up to the England school boys . It's been a long process but as a country we are seeing the benefits.

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - yes, no one can actually play or think for themselves, but there are lots of technically adept but not very bright players around. No leaders. No commanding defenders. Just lots of samey players who are not coached, but taught instead, so they all play the same way instead of their natural talents being brought to the forefront.}

23 Mar 2019 08:49:57
For me the biggest thing that strikes me about this england team is that it actually feels like a team.

Previous generation have had had cliques formed along club lines. But these guys seem to put their club loyalties to one side and actually get on well together.

Also it helps that england are actually nurturing talent from one of the most talented areas in the country and that is south london.

Agree1 Disagree2

23 Mar 2019 09:33:12
Ed I would say the opposite is true, excite on the ball Express yourself big mantra of the DNA .
Future looks good and very exciting for English football, the work at st George's park and the likes of people like sturgess is having an effect .
The English youth teams are all looking to promote and develop the right type of player/ brand of footy .
The sooner our clubs fully buy into it the better.

Agree2 Disagree2

{Ed001's Note - if you say so, but they are all just robots following a tactical plan and it is boring as hell to watch. It is the same reason why I can't stand Pep's teams. They play with no freedom or expression, everything is drilled into them. You are quite simply wrong in this matter I am afraid. It is not good footie, it is robot along the lines of Pulis, but just with a different tactic of passing to death. They all follow instructions, there is no off-the-cuff Jimmy Johnstone/George Best-type players around because of it and football is much the worse.}

23 Mar 2019 10:39:53
Ronaldinho would probably get crucified if he played in this era.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Mar 2019 10:34:16
Ed we will have to disagree then, I've watched a good bit of the England youth games I think they play some great footy.

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - that is not what I am disagreeing with, I am disagreeing with you suggesting they are playing with freedom to express themselves. They are following a tactical plan closely. As for the 'great footy', each to his own, but it is not my thing, I find modern football tedious and repetitive and based solely on keeping the ball.}

23 Mar 2019 18:59:42
Ed001 I agree with you, players are over coached, half afraid to move out of position, no freedom, take off the shackles,
I seen a young lad playing down the local park one day with his mates while I was walking the dog, I said to my self there's a player so I watched him for a while, I found out who he was and saw him playing a few months later, he was being coached by tha fai, right back he was playing and wasn't allowed move past the half way line, I said what a waste, he should be playing in midfield with free roam,

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - it has moved away from coaching into directing. Managers all micromanage everything so players have to fit in.}

23 Mar 2019 19:29:22
I thought England were good to watch last night. Lots of off the cuff stuff skills etc. Sure its mostly done within a tactical framework but it was easy on the eye last night.
It was not possession for possessions sake. There was attacking intent throughout and a great work ethic. Such a young team too. Harry kane could break rooneys intl scoring record he is still improving and there will be plenty of soft games to add to his tally.

Hi Guys, long time reader of this page but I've never posted before. Was just wondering how far the ED's think we are from having a squad or a first 11 that can challenge for the title? Do you guys think it's a case of a good manager who can get the best out of our players, or is it that we're just behind other teams man for man. Cheers.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - first 11 is capable of challenging, but you need a bit of improvement to the squad to make it a sustained challenge. The right manager will help a lot, but you do need a bit of depth to the squad (or luck with injuries and suspensions) to get through an entire season.}

23 Mar 2019 10:02:08
I said yesterday ideally we need 6 signings spread over two summers. Anything else can come from the academy.

Agree0 Disagree1

23 Mar 2019 10:07:44
Ed001 even our first 11 if they played 38 games start to finish would not be guaranteed top 4.
Squad depth is pathetic in reality in some positions.
With a gale force wind behind them and as long as they had every slice of luck going our current first 11 would potentially finish 3rd / 4th i reckon.

Agree1 Disagree4

{Ed001's Note - I think you would be surprised with the right manager just what they could do.}

23 Mar 2019 14:26:56
Ed001 i'd be shocked mate. That was our first 11 v wolves in cup 1/ 4 final. That 11 would never win the league in a million years.
Maybe young in for dalot but that's mite of a hinderance imo.

Agree1 Disagree2

{Ed001's Note - challenging and winning are different things though mate.}

23 Mar 2019 14:59:49
This will be our 6th season without a meaningful challenge i hope next year will see a major improvement. that's the life of a footy supporter. Living in hope😂.
