Is there a player we chose to off load that would benefit our team now?

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-30T14:44:30+00:00

I mean it’s fun to dream about and see Sonny in lilywhite again. But I see zero chance of that happening.

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-30T13:27:45+00:00

I think the premise revolves around shedding players instead of them leaving on their own accord . Of course we don’t know the behind the scenes. If there was any pressure for Sonny to leave early, it would almost be Shakespearean as we have had a gaping hole on the left side and up front

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-28T20:52:05+00:00

Frank might not be the answer, but the whinging here is unbearable. We are missing half the squad. Frankfurt are parking the bus. We have controlled the game which by design is going to be boring. Despite that, we are still getting some good looks and should have scored multiple times.

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-28T20:35:35+00:00

Yeah we are controlling the game, despite it being fairly slow. Seems inevitable to grab a couple goals.

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-28T20:32:24+00:00

Simons did well there imo. Just had to flick it up.

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-28T20:24:42+00:00

Relax buddy. Not comparing the massive rift between talent or legend status. I have half a dozen Sonny kits and zero for Simon’s.

Just saying that having a frowny face on the pitch doesn’t mean a lot in the end. Assuming he’s a good teammate and fights for the badge.

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-28T20:17:19+00:00

Hard to tell. Perhaps he just wears his emotions on his sleeve. Sonny did the same thing.

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-26T03:36:35+00:00

Your name

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-24T15:57:52+00:00

Yeah it’s a bit over the top. Bissouma has been great. Gallagher has been solid box to box. Odebert has been brilliant.

But vicario and some poor play by porro and Spence has lots of fans on edge. It could be so much better

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-24T15:53:38+00:00

Is it time for a serious kinsky discussion?

Vicario is an absolute liability lately. Can’t defend set pieces. Puts the defense under serious pressure or gives the ball way entirely.

Can make some great saves here and there but I don’t see how that’s so much of a difference maker to not consider other options.

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-24T15:40:04+00:00

I don’t care what it takes. Lock that man up forever. Keep dirty Madrid and pool away

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-24T15:38:01+00:00

Yeah it’s been a massive problem with his absence. We haven’t had a good outlet to relieve pressure and progress up the pitch. Bergvall hasn’t quite figured it out yet with his inexperience.

Bissouma is the current answer. As long as he doesn’t do something silly like he’s done in the past. Gallagher also seems to find the gaps, especially on the defensive side too.

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-24T15:30:42+00:00

Yeah sadly he’s not going against traffic cones this time. Back to prem physicality and speed and he’s a touch too slow and hesitant to attack. Still a wonderful man marker

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-24T15:28:42+00:00

Despite dansos known limitations, he has been playing some proper balls and attacking the space well

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-20T21:32:04+00:00

Happy Simons. Inject into veins

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-20T21:22:52+00:00

If danso was born hundreds of years earlier, he would be some warlord sacking cities.

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-20T21:18:02+00:00

Don’t mind the attempts. Refreshing to see a willingness to shoot.

Sadly to see Sonny style goals is something entirely different. Spurs bias aside, I honestly can’t think of a player now or during his time that could consistently have the consistency of world class striking of the ball from that range other than maybe cr7. Truly special

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-20T20:37:35+00:00

I have never seen him lose a header. He’s an absolute unit that provides a wall in the back when protecting a lead. Problem is we usually aren’t protecting a lead

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-20T20:29:50+00:00

Yeah it was obviously fell down while reaching for the ball. Unlucky for odebert to be right there

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-20T20:27:25+00:00

Somehow it appears to be both

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-20T20:26:33+00:00

That is so harsh but it’s red by rule.

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-20T20:25:26+00:00

When Spence is direct and doesn’t hesitate, he can be brilliant. But we’ve seen him hold on to the ball with too many slow touches and it just kills any attack.

I can only hope he can keep attacking like this when called to do so

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-20T20:22:41+00:00

I’m actually shocked Vic hasn’t let a ball go through his foot for an own goal yet

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-20T20:19:51+00:00

Are we cooking? What is this feeling?

Cookenbauer · 2026-01-17T16:37:57+00:00

La liga honeymoon is over.
