Quoting for future scapegoating purposes.

Due to poor life management (was sure this would get moved to the Sunday) I'll be following this via this thread

I'm slipping here

Slack f***er only did 45 mins as well

His main issue is that he's never been able to stay fit long enough to have a crack at establishing himself as a first choice player. That needed to happen two/three seasons ago & I think that boat's probably sailed for him now unfortunately

They're the perfect model for a small club surviving in the PL. Their match day income is tiny - but they make up for that with broadcast revenue and by being great at buying and selling players. Smart management and off-field appointments also really help. Brentford also really good at this.

Paxton?

You lost me there

Don't think he was comparing them as players - just that they're both largely under appreciated Although to be fair to Jones in any comparison, when Gini signed for us he was two years older than Curtis is now

Getting them playing coherently again is gonna be Arne's major test this year. I think we're also underestimating how much of an impact having Isak coming in late with absolutely no meaningful training has been - he (understandably) still looks well off the pace at the moment

Same as with Chiesa I reckon, if he's saying "we'll see" today, unlikely he'll be fit for more than the bench.

Agree with most of that apart from Jones hiding. To me it looks like he’s confused as to what is role is & he’s not the only one

If Slot's saying "let's see where he is in training today" in the presser today, that means he's almost definitely not going to be able to start tomorrow.
