May have been posted yesterday... Apparently Brendan Rodgers knew Grealish was out for the Villa v Leicester game because a number of the Villa players had removed him from their fantasy football teams That is brilliant - Dean Smith is fuming.
After a few rumours about Spurs lining up Nagelsmann (think our **** form has put them off Ralph) to replace Mourinho this has now come out - https://theathletic.com/2401399/ If you don't have The Athletic, it is says that a number of Spurs players are unhappy with the lack of attacking work in training. Apparently Mourinho neglects any complex attacking drills and instead relies on the counter attack of Son & Kane (who knew?!). It also says a number of players miss the intensity and double sessions Poch forced on them - despite the fact they complained at the time! All in all, whispers of discontent coming from the dressing room is always a bad sign - Im just glad Ralph doesn't look to be in the running!
Spuds would be bang in trouble without Kane and Son, Maureen has been a busted flush for years. He relies on buying players rather than coaching to make them better and has no time for younger players. Once he leaves Spuds we will not see him in England again.
His tough-love approach is now outdated too. 20 year old players of today are already multi-millionaires so when some old fella starts barking at them they get pissed off or upset - 15 years ago they might have worked even harder but nowadays i don't think the added drive is there.
I was about to reply to this saying you won't get a Dean or Scott getting a top job in England anymore - but then realised Julian and Ralph are hardly exotic foreign names as good examples
If Gross had scored that, it would have been interesting if VAR would have allowed it. It looked like more than just a stutter from Gross - if looked like he briefly came to a complete stop.
Shock horror that something involving Mason and Hooper - the worst two, by a distance - has turned into a total farce.
