Came on at the 87th minute while Mönchengladbach were one goal ahead only for his side to concede a penalty in the last minute to even the score.

Takai on the bench (again) for the game against Mainz

Refusing to acknowledge that "real fans" are the ones hurling racist abuse at players does nothing to prevent it from happening.
If anything, it keeps the cycle going.

You need to acknowledge a problem if you want to fix it

E.g. : Thomas Frank, Joao Palhinha, Conor Gallagher and Roberto De Zerbi

Decision makers at the club have the same amount of football knowledge as the average premier league fan (derogatory), any player or manager that has been even remotely relevant in the premier league immediately gets valued way higher than any player or manager from any other leagues.

He was more than happy to wait until the summer for better offers but we picked this guy, of all people, to link our fates with.

A decent club would have managers knocking on their door with concrete ideas to help the club fight relegation, but this club fixated on a guy who didn't even really want the job, who's system doesn't suit the available players and didn't do any research going into the job.

Really cool that the guy who's been "watching lots of us" before he was hired is workshopping his starting XI on a game to game basis in the middle of a relegation battle.

You're supposed to have done your research already!

completely changing the midfield save for Gallagher is a funny gimmick

If you colour coded our squad based on attributes with red being physicality (speed, duels and running) blue being technique (passing and dribbling) and yellow being the goalkeepers, you'd be seeing more yellow than blue in our currently available squad, with the rest being red.

Supplementing a technical squad with some physical profiles>>>> supplementing a physical squad with technical profiles

How bad analytics built a Tottenham team that might get relegated Tottenham are really bad and looking at the way this team has been constructed, one thing clearly stands out: This team is really bad at passing the ball, and that may explain their present malaise.

I wrote about how Spurs used new some numbers terribly and ended up with a super-expensive team of players who can't pass: www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Really damning how our scouting department gave our possession manager a physical defender that can't pass two winter transfer windows in a row

Remember reading about players not getting fouls called in their favour in their first year in the prem being a deliberate thing by refs.

Wonder if these players also get less fouls called against them if they choose to be excessively physical.

So now what

We really spent the majority of the summer window trying to find a 10 that would join us only for 3 consecutive managers to decide the one we got wasn't good enough to start

Hey guys I have a pretty zany idea: let's just blame the players 🤡🤡🤡

Takai back on the bench for Mönchengladbach against Leipzig

Frank, Vinai and Lange have understandably eroded people's trust in professionals at our club but I can guarantee that the medical staff are most likely not to blame for the injury setback

Don't understand getting angry at the medical team when a player has a complication. As if the complication could have been prevented otherwise and the medical team deliberately ignored the possibility?
