Why should they have the benefit of more "rest" days than other Clubs. Needs a League probe. Because their game against Chelsea was moved forward to the evening we played Roma in the first leg. They were due to play Chelsea this weekend (but Chelsea in the Cup Final) and Chelsea v ourselves was arranged for next week because of our Conference League progression.

Understand the club may prioritise fitness but seems a missed chance Forest go to Portugal most years Though you would do when it’s your only chance of playing in Europe the last 4 decades 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive potential for managers to completely change a game, utilise more players and even give younger players more of a chance. Ofcourse it benefits the richer teams more but if we build a good enough squad, there is no reason why it couldn't benefit us too. thinking about this, it perhaps does help us attract players given that we don’t have European football. it should enable us to go back to a proper high press approach rather than the half arsed one which has led to our demise ….. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they played Brighton in a COVID affected game earlier in the season when they went out of Europe so had a spare week I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it help that much? 3 subs seems enough for me... it's just to help bigger teams like anything that is brought in these days. (VAR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted 11 May 2022 Share Posted 11 May 2022 Haaland signing is a bit ominous isn't it? A side that has gone 100,98,81,86,83+ points in recent seasons has signed one of the world's best strikers - a position they lack. If you look at his shot map from this season he basically lives in the box and can see this Man City side creating tons of opportunities for him. The media talk about them trying to find the signing that will win the CL - but there are multiple factors which can affect that and a single knockout game can sometimes just go against you. I can't see them slipping up over a 38 game season now though - feels like the missing piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(VAR) I think it could give you the ability to completely change a formation mid game with players suited to the new roles as opposed to wingers playing wing back etc. Should allow for faster paced matches too because players don't need to leave as much in the tank. I suppose we will see how it goes but I reckon alot of folk have overlooked the benefit it could give their club because of the obvious ones it gives the big 6.

Play Jesus against the dross and save Haaland for the big games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKLFox Posted 11 May 2022 Share Posted 11 May 2022 The supposed Rudiger deal is just crazy, Madrid are on their arse with funds but they want to give a 29yr old €400k per week for 4yrs its madness. I also must be missing something because i don't rate him up their in the highest echelons of defenders. & what is it with European teams & these absurd buy-out clauses, apparently they have written in a £342m clause into his contract, he's 29 ffs. They will never get that & could end up lumbered themselves but why would his team accept the clause also, he goes there & they suddenly see he's not as good as made out to be & they drop him that's him done, all be it sat there on a wedge but then he is 29 & probably wants to play out his last years not wait till he's 33+ before he starts again.
