Trippier is our best right back ever. Botman looks like he’ll be our best ever CB. Pope is arguably the best keeper we’ve had, only Given really pushes him. If over 50% of the defence is the best we’ve had, then stands to reason this is the best overall we’ve had.

Not that the bar has ever been set very high mind.
Schar has been immense aswell he’s improved immensely. He’s a real asset right now.

Mike the ginger bird watcher, currently a pizza delivery man apparently... I assume they end up as a mangled mess of cardboard and cheese by the time you get them, if he's anything like with pizza boxes like he was with holding on to the ball.
 
Thing with Hooper though was he was actually quite decent in his first few games, then he faced Sir Les playing for QPR and it all just unravelled from there <laugh>

Enjoyed reading the thread


Im sure Howe was criticised for his defensive structure and decisions at Bournemouth as well, maybe more towards the end

Historically I've only ever know us to be pretty pants at defending, bar rafa I suppose, so it's a really joyous thing tbh. I mean we really only need to sprinkle some talent here and there... and we have a recruitment policy based on finding players who are talented but importantly have the right attitude..unlimited funds to buy them..and a wonderful team spirit, hell club spirit to integrate them into

I can't think actually think of a misstep we have taken, maybe other than overpaying for Wood, but even that worked out and was necessary


So yeah absolutely ****in glorious. Still maintain we will win a cup within 2 - 3 years

Im trying to absorb as much of this time as I can before we become one of the big boys, it's like when you have a great night out planned and you are massively looking forward to it.. These are the few days prior where you are bantering with the lads over social media and generaly strutting around knowing Friday night you will be smashed and dancing and laughing and all that good life stuff

Except our Friday night is gonna last for ****in years and years and years


****in class
