Walk in the park as well.
Sounds like Conte will leave at the end of the season.
Their sporting director may also be getting a ban as he was involved at the financial scandal at Juventus. He's been given a 30 month ban but it's not been confirmed if that ban will be a worldwide ban or just stop him working in Italy.
I still rate Conte just doesn't look like it's going to work out he hasn't got the players to compete and if the club can't afford to compete then there's not much point in carrying on.
Apart from their forwards the rest of their team is pretty poor. In the summer they need a new keeper, defence and midfield so not a small task for a new manager coming in.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Poch come back.
Not sure about needing a new midfield as when everybody is fit they have one of the best selections in the country, agree about the defence though, and the keeper, well they could do far worse.
Hojberg and Bentancur are two decent players but behind that there's nothing unless I'm forgetting someone.
Guess the question will be if Conte goes will they stick to the back 3 or will they look to go to a back 4 as their wing back options aren't great.
I don't rate Lloris think he makes far to many basic errors.
I see Pickford at Spurs next year.
Bissouma hasn't pulled up any trees at Spurs but is highly rated, as is Oliver Skipp but Conte obviously doesn't fancy him. And Spurs beat off a lot of competition for Pape Sarr but he hasn't really had a chance yet.
Spurs have got better than average CB's he just chops and changes them, or the system too much, same with the fullbacks.
And Lloris is a funny one, everybody writes him off then he has a blinder, then he's back to being poor again, rinse repeat, think they will go for Dean Henderson in the Summer and it will be a good move for the lad.
I knew I was missing someone forgot they signed Bissouma but he has struggled to make an impact Spurs are a very different team to brighton, no pressing and more of a counter attacking side. Not been convinced by Skipp when I've seen him looks like another Winks pretty average looking centre mid. Hojberg is a funny one on his day he's as good as anyone but he has some absolute stinkers in him as well.
Romero is a good centre back but Dier, Sanchez, Davies, Lenglet aren't great.
Lloris I've never rated pulls off the occasional decent save but makes so many basic errors.
Henderson should get a good move in the summer he's a decent keeper and I've said before they'd be wise to chuck a bid in for Maguire as I think he'd suit them.
Never been overly impressed with Bissouma myself but the internet nearly crashed when irate United fans en masse were calling the club/the Glazers/the Manager for not going for him, and Skipp and Winks are more the traditional Spurs pass and move merchants that need a bruiser alongside them to function properly, and Hojberg for all his talents ain't that guy.
Wanted United to sign Romero a few years back, and I like Dyer, a tad slow but a proper defender, and he can pass.
Lloris is unbeatable on his day, bit like the Scottish keeper whose name escapes me, but liable to throw one in as well, time for him to move aside for France and to give Mike Maignan his chance now. And at club level somebody will take him on for a few years, probably back in France or one of the yo-yo clubs in Spain.
Still think Henderson has an outside chance at United, but probably best to move on.
Here's hoping they can beat City tomorrow!
surely a draw is the best result for us?
Yea, I just don’t see Spurs catching us so hoping they beat Citysurely a draw is the best result for us?
Why, nobody bar Newcastle is closing the gap from behind us. Which won't affect T4.
Keeps a team above us in touch and puts a team behind us further away.
Win Win in my book.
Spurs wont catch us, so it is more important we keep the closest tab possible on the top two.I'll be rooting for the draw. The more sides that drop points the better.
We’re 8 back of Arsenal (who have a game in hand) and 3 up on Spurs with a game in hand. If second matters, we’re 3 back of City with an inferior goal difference, so nothing is out of the question.Spurs wont catch us, so it is more important we keep the closest tab possible on the top two.
If we can take the 6 points from Leeds, one or both of City and Arsenal will drop points in that time. That's the point at which you start to wonder what is possible with 45 points still left to play for.
Of course the title is beyond us, with our miserly goal difference, but it would be exciting to see how close we could take it and hanging on to some hope of the unlikely for most of the season remainder.
I will take the draw on that one. Thank you very muchI guess now a City win v Arsenal wouldn’t be the worst thing.
I will take the draw on that one. Thank you very much
Mass brawl, points deduction. Sound familiar?Nah City win, with Haaland, De Bruyne, Saka and Odegaard getting reds.
That would very much screw me over in FF.Nah City win, with Haaland, De Bruyne, Saka and Odegaard getting reds.

I wouldn't say no, but if City are getting docked points, then let them take them off our rivals first.I will take the draw on that one. Thank you very much
