Here we are - aspiration vs pragmatism. Phil wants to 'go for it', home or away... will he follow his gut or the smart money?
I'd say, we need 2 goals... put the onus on our back line, give 'em the ball, press 'em into turnovers and let the horses 🐎 out to get 2 on the counter.
I like how Phil wants the team to be ruthless and get the goals, but I also like how they have played smart in the past three games and limited mistakes. I'd like to see the same recipe for the past three games - fairly conservative to start, get the first goal, let the other team wear themselves out trying to chase a goal and then put on the gas. It's not always going to work out that way, of course, and they will have to come from behind at some point. I'm interested in the midfield battle to see which unit comes out on top. Ours has been stellar but theirs is no slouch, either. I'd like to see ours in attack mode both offensively and defensively, like it has been.
Anyone who has read my comments knows how much I love the way this guy plays. Has he suddenly become too short or too slow? Is he on of the guys that Neville claims doesn't want to be here (sure couldn't see that from the way he plays every second of every game). If he's far down the depth chart then give him freedom to go somewhere he will be respected and appreciated.

This!
Player movement. Anything about Claudio Bravo?

Yes, Bravo is far down the depth chart. Ian Smith and Kamal Miller are backing up Jimmer Foyr. Let Bravo play somewhere else
