TFG are our owners for now
- they’ve partly addressed some of our funding issues
- they seem to realise it’s best to try and employ the best CEO & Manager you can and then leave them to do their job
-they will use every accounting trick they can
Weird how Rayan knew this but Gannon-Doak didn’t
Or that Armstrong, George & Rohl don’t seem to be inhibited.

Rayan probably knew that the manager would accept he's young and may make mistakes so played with a bit more freedom
No debate as ciear evidence
Yet Patric is ignoring the evidence

I didn’t ask tbh. I said it’s unlikely Moyes would hand the same opportunities to those players that Iraola did. I don’t think there can really be a debate there because we have evidence.

I had to check this! Not sure what to make of it!

It wasn’t TFG

Bournemouth introduced Rayan exactly as we introduced George
1 sub appearance then start.
They’ve also had Gannon-Doak sitting idle on the bench, playing a lot less than Dibling.

Brighton had Gomez and Ayari in their attack on Sunday. Bournemouth threw Rayan straight in.
Again, it doesn't have to be every game, but one game, because those players suited what was required?
Is playing a 19 year old every game now becoming a criticism?
Hackney has played in 8 games this season (all competitions), including 7 of our 8 league matches.
Hardly “out in the cold”
Rayan & George both joined last January
1st game
Rayan 23 mins as sub. Assist
George 22 mins as sub.
2nd game
Rayan started scored
George started didn’t score
Rayan started the 3rd
Because the manager was brave or the player made a big impact?

“Parading a sample size of 8 games”
Also known as referring to the league table.
Replying to @efctruth20802 @Progression1878
Other people have the problem of being dramatic, twisting stats, and trying to drive a certain narrative; while you're parading a sample size of 8 games as to why it's all great, when you can go up or down about 5-9 places in a week 😂
The manager has used every outfield player in the league
Current 18 plus 3 that have departed
(Plus 2 other departed players in the cup)
So he hasn’t refused to use any of them
Replying to @PatricRidge @KieranJ_1979
A tiny squad, a chunk of which the manager refuses to use or give a chance to despite consistent poor performances from players that don’t offer enough to be staying on, dismal subs, defensive tactics yet poor defensively…

#FPL Set-Piece monsters.
A few things about this graph:
Gabriel is still worth his price, especially in a season where every premium apart from Haaland seems washed.
Murillo is the ultimate what-if FPL asset. The guy has the most ridiculous collection of goals that almost went in, good DEFCON potential and a threat from both open play and set play.
The defenders who get rewarded for being proactive through DEFCON are largely the same ones who get rewarded for their attacking threat. Proactive defenders tend to be proactive in all phases of the game. I still think the new scoring mechanics won't necessarily make players pool bigger, but they will make the meta clearer.
Muharemovic's chances are meh, but with the way Leeds' routines are working, being their top receiver is still a good sign.
Gabriel doesn't offer a huge direct threat, but Arsenal's set-piece phases are among the longest and most creative ones, so that's worth taking into consideration.
Haaland is still proof that quality over volume works.
Interesting stats
Can see how clubs with 10 points after 8 games have performed in the past
Hint: probably not sleepwalking.

Love to see the manager that manages a whole squad’s minutes perfectly.
Replying to @KieranJ_1979
It’s a fair point, minutes managed aren’t perfect for them, but still fair point
That was my hope from the window in that despite disappointment, hopefully you still gain from really having to get these players playing
