About Lush Vlad

  1. Bruno. I don’t even think it’s close and that isn’t a slight on the other two. I love them and what they bring to the side.
  2. There is some GK coach/analyst on Twitter that I follow. Looks at keepers using the 'collapse' method or something like that. Not moving their feet pre shot and often not getting a good hand on it or getting down to it late. I think it's a massive criticism against Onana and it feels like it's the same for Dubravka. I know it is a bit different as they're big old units. But you don't see Alisson or Pope for example regularly at full stretch and not getting across. As they usually have great footwork before diving.

    I think for someone that lives and breathes football. To the point where it almost seems unhealthily obsessive. Would not be a good fit as an international manager. Nor would he want it. I thought the same when people used to suggest Wenger (I haven’t imagined that, have I?!) for the England job and I always thought it about Rafa. Although he might have to take a job like that soon. As his stock has fallen so low. If he is getting anything approaching abuse. Then we must have had a horrendous end to the season and losing him wouldn’t be so bad as it would feel right now.

    I think he would tell them no thanks and I’d be happy if he did.
  5. I was mainly watching the Wales v Poland game last night. Loads riding on it, yet it was dreadful.

    Well. That’s why he had that aura about him. He is much better than all of them

    Bellingham and Foden giving off an aura of “I’m too good for the rest of you lot”. Only had it on for half an hour. But constantly over playing, being greedy, picking the wrong pass.

    This Belgium kit is giving off massive Sunday league vibes. Looks like the shirts are not supposed to go with the shorts and socks.
  9. Hardly a hot take. But International football outside of tournaments. Is mind numbingly dull.
  10. Ampadu looks really good for Wales.
  11. We won’t change it and I’m not even sure we have the personnel to play more of a 4-2-3-1 currently. But I feel like a formation change is an avenue we need to explore. Unless Joe White or Anderson are suddenly going to start playing in midfield regularly. With only three fit CM’s. One of which has been below par and playing through injury most the season. The other has been missing through injury most the season. We really need to do something. Other than play them for 90 minutes every game until they break down.
  12. I know 2-3 minutes highlight reels from a game can make players look better than they are. But I almost gave up criticising him during a game, based on just watching the highlights afterwards. Would regularly message a couple of mates during games when I thought he was below par. Then you'd see back some of the outrageous passes or bits of skill he'd managed to pull off during the game and wonder WTF you were watching I've said it loads on here. But it felt like he set the bar so high, regularly churning out 8 or 9s every week. That when he dropped to a 7, whilst still being very good and one of our best players on the day. He was getting stick, as it was noticeable. I do think the fact he suddenly started scoring goals for us, something he hasn't really done throughout his career and then they dried up/he returned to normal on that front. Will perhaps have skewed opinions a bit. I definitely think we have got a bit spoilt watching him and are taking him for granted. In my mind. He is 100% our most important player and would be the hardest to replace. For everything he brings on the ball, off the ball and all of the other intangibles like him being a mad fucker and loving it here.
