I think I only know Tuanzebe from their team, unless, is their Delap the infamous Delap of the long throw?

His son.

There's an echo in here.

There's an echo in ah I can't be bothered.

Delap is another youngster sold by Man City for decent money.

Help the aged.

And they have Kalvin Mark Phillips in midfield, the one once at Leeds.

That's the first time I've looked at their team on paper. That front three is decent and the midfield is okay too, if Phillips finds his form. Muric isn't a bad keeper. Don't know much about the defence, barring Axel. If it's any good then they could have enough this season.

Might be a tough game today.

Should be winning this tbh, 2:0 Villa, hopefully no knocks for Bayern

I agree, decent enough team. Ogbene is a good signing for them, Delap is decent, as is Hutchinson.
Ill always have a soft spot for Tuanzebe for the promotion season and that song..

His son!

Edit: to whoever asked about Delap

Ipswich are no mugs. The only teams who have beaten them are Man City and Liverpool.  Yes, they're winless, but they aren't being battered like a lot of teams that come up after a long time outside the top flight.  They also have a couple of very talented youngsters in Delap and Hutchinson.  Plus some reasonable Premier league experience in key positions in Philips, Tuanzebe, Ogbene and O'Shea.

We should be beating teams like this, obviously, but I'd say they're actually a lower mid-table side rather than relegation fighters.   

This won't be the walkover some are imagining.

(I hope I'm proven wrong extremely quickly, obviously)

Yep definitely no mugs. A dangerous from three, Ogbene is a good midfield player and Pearce is looking like a snip at the back.  They invested wisely

I’d like to see Emery rotate more for games we should be confident of winning. Especially with such a big CL on the horizon. Obviously don’t want too many changes, but had he picked say 2 for from Barkley for Onana, Maatsen for Digne or even Duran for Ollie we still should have enough about us to see the job through. We ran out of steam by the end of the season (or the MON effect as it’s also known) due to injuries to key players. Need to make sure we protect as many as possible over the course of year. Still it’s Emery and he prioritizes the league above everything, so hopefully in a couple of hours we are sitting in 2nd.
