We have Kulusevski on a deal until Summer, 2028. He is still only 24.
We have to make to absolute most of him whilst we can, he is truly one of Europe's elites in every metric as well as on the eye. On his current path he is destined to be one of greats. We must offer him a new contract.

What a player we have, he has it all. Sky is the limit for him, he’s an absolute star in a central role.
🇸🇪💫

This is likely untrue, but people will believe it is and will see this as a negative.
This is what I want to see from our players, I want them to voice their concerns to the team, staff, directors etc. The last thing I want is this team happy with being 5th/6th as they are very capable.

Let’s hope after the international break we start turning this into points.
We have the potential to win something this year and get into the top 4.

How do we feel about the change of logo?

In a few years when Bergvall has had chance to develop, they could go on a serious run in the Euros.
That front 3 wouldn’t look out of place in any top team.

28/37 accurate passes

Agreed but still feel like every corner I’m holding my breathe.
But personally there is little to nothing Ange can do better at this moment in time and anyone who wants him out for any reason needs to a have a think.
I think the only fair criticism Ange can receive is what we do from set pieces, apart from that any sort of criticism he gets is likely fuelled by people reluctant to blame the players.
The West Ham game is a great example of when he adapted, took off Maddison who had a great half and got an assist, and brought on Sarr to help with physicality in midfield and we won 4-1.
People love this narrative that he won’t succeed because he ‘won’t adapt’
Thought this was interesting, our system allows little to no space for the opposition to work with but yet we can't stop conceding.
Positive signs for Ange moving forward but we must cut out mistakes. If we can improve the basics, corners, set pieces, finishing etc we could be a real force.

We currently have 23.15 xG whilst Liverpool have 24.62 xG.
We have conceded 14.36 xGA whilst Liverpool 10.82 xGA
This means we have an xPTS of 18.51 which is higher then Arsenal and Chelsea. Whilst Liverpool have an xPTS of 24.05, which is the highest in the league.
Would love to see Archie Gray get some minutes as a 6.
it’s clear to see his quality on the ball. His passing range and his composure under pressure would make him a perfect 6 under Ange.
He has some work to due when it comes to positioning but that will come with time.

Johnny Cardoso
Cardoso is a 6'1 physical player, his main strengths being tackling, interceptions and positioning. He would bring much needed stability to our midfield.
The 23 Year old is also comfortable on the ball and has an excellent ability to pick out passes to start counter attacks.

Two Wingers,
Ruben Van Bommel, AZ
Antonio Nusa, RB Leipzig
Both are typical Ange wingers like to stay wide, get to the byline and deliver.
Both are extremely quick players who can stretch the pitch to give more room for players like Kulusveksi and Maddison to operate and create centrally.

Spurs got the right player

Think we will see a goal spree from Solanke soon, he is already had a huge impact on the team in terms of his build up play. I think he could finish on 15-20 goals easily.
Pape Matar Sarr (£15M) vs Declan Rice (£105M)

Tottenham have suffered the most injuries resulting in a player missing 1+ game.

A big issue we have is that are teams are comfortable sitting in a low block allowing us to cross the ball with no success.
