Most of our losses have come against sides that we “should” beat on paper. We usually turn up against the “big sides” and I expect us to win on Wednesday for that reason.
Bit of a concern though. If you want to be a regular champions league team, you need to turn up against the “smaller” teams too
Easy answer, lack of squad depth and variety. Truthfully there are a lot of fatigued players from the 1st team squad. Think that Fulham caused us quite a few problems that we didn’t match up to.
we go again midweek.

There are 6 midfielders covering 3 positions. You could arguably chuck Hall and Almiron in there if desperate as well.
Almirons not a schemer or really a creative player… he runs around a lot but hasn’t really got a top level footballing brain. Pops up with goals for sure, but not sure what else he brings

Would mean getting cover for livramento, if he jets off to Saudi, it’ll be a fair whack off our wage bill as well. Think it’s a good move.

DCL 😂 no way. Ivan toneys got more chance of coming back.

Mouth is now reporting that Man City have activated Bruno Gs release clause. Absolute clown.
He’s not a city type of player, and wouldn’t displace Rodri, and this guy just appears to be a numpty. His feed is full of attention seeking rubbish.

Rumours schmoumurs. Get behind the team. Think Brentford will be up for this. With dubravka flapping at anything that’s in the air we need pope back. The team is different and better with him in. This team are precise with their dead balls!!
-
Pretty deflating result. But win against Brentford and we at least finish 7th. I’m all for not going for Europe with the current squad. Consolidate next season, and ship out some more dead wood and invest and we should be good.

A win. One of Casemiro legs falls off, garnacho trips over it twice gets 2 yellows for diving, rashford actually breaks into a jog twice, and that buck tooth cunt kicks him self in the head. Erik ten hag says it’s someone else’s fault… again. The entire home end of the stadium collapses in shame.
-
A win. Think if we score early, they’ll capitulate.

That’s an interesting thought. Wonder if he could be converted to play the modern DM role the way Ross Barkley has. He looks to have the technical ability to receive the ball in tight areas and has clearly packed on a bit of muscle too.Or against the better sides alternating with another 6. 2defensive pivots both with the ability to receive the ball and control the pace of the game as well as ability to burst forward. He can see a line breaking pass though whether apart from Isak we have the quality of movement up front is a slightly different thing.

definitely. We’ve missed a player with physicality in midfield since big Joe’s injury and Anderson provided it yesterday. His pressing and strength was impressiveMaybe medium term have him playing as a 6 in front of the defence as he can playmaker and have Bruno playing as an 8. He was very good yesterday, and looks like he’s improving game on game….

Great last 20 mins from us. Thought hall was very good. Kudus would do a job at rw for us. He’s a proper player.

MILLIONSOne, he means, I mean he must have something on Southgate…. He’s awful as a player

My 2 penneth. Once the champions league games were underway we were playing 2 v difficult games a week for a while. The team was on its knees because of accumulated fatigue and lack of meaningful squad depth. The style of our team means fitness first is the way to go but the team has literally run itself into the ground. Our tactics as well and howes willingness to stick with players out of form or injured means we’ve had next to no rhythm and his decision making is getting more odd as the season goes on.
I think if we’d have got a non European slot last season we’d have finished higher this season..
also our players do seem to get injured more than most other teams… maybe we’ve just had a duff season!

Them and Burnley totally out of their depth. The thing is of the promoted sides next year, I can’t see any of them bouncing back down either…. The chasm between top flight and championship is getting bigger.

This is Moyes apologising to Man United for not being Fergie.
Basically impossible shoes to fill. Moyes ain’t a bad coach, but never an elite top coach.

Been shit for years.

Chiesa is a risk As he had a pretty bad injury, though when he was fit he was well worth watching out for. . Is rabiot available on a free? Think he’s out of contract. Could be useful?
-
Florentines centre mid Amrabaat I think… top player.
that was pretty rubbish.

Kim won’t leave Napoli so soon. An absolute unit of a defender.
medium term we do need to replace schar but probably need an upgrade….

Granted JWP lacks for strength and power, but I thought I saw a stat showing that he covered amongst the most kms/p match of any player in the PL. If not the most. I also don't doubt his technique either as he's one of the best technical players going around when it comes to finding a pass, cross or shot. Granted he lacks in dribbling and he's only an average tackler compared to others in his position. I too thought JWP wasn't worth the gamble but I saw an article the other week pointing out his strengths and I've kinda been won over to thinking he might be worth it for the right price. If we could get him for between 10-15m, then I think that would be good business to add another set of legs in midfield that run all day, with the added benefit of some good technical abilities and set piece prowess that is unmatched. I think it's become a little bit fashionable to hate on him as a one trick pony type of player who has found his level at the bottom end of the PL. But I think that may well be a matter of his reality being confused with his potential. I'd like to see us at least test Southampton's resolve to keep him if we low-ball them, knowing that the player is likely never going to get a better chance to leave and will certainly be onboard and agitating to be allowed to do so.
Great squad addition, not long term first team solution.

With Southampton's relegation, I think it could be a good opportunity to sign a player from that team who doesn't want to play in the Championship.
-Ward Prowse. I think he could be a good bench player. He has a similar level to Longstaff and can give us something more when Bruno is out.
-Romeo Lavia. He is definitely my favorite player on this team. His first lap was sensational and he is only 19 years old.
-Livramento. He can be a good understudy for Trippier and our future right-back. He is only 20 years old.
-Salisu. Maybe he is confusing me. I admit that I didn't like it at all when he played in Spain, but his level in the Premier League has surprised me.
Ward prowse doesn’t have the engine, strength or technique of any of our 3 in the middle. His free kicks and pens are excellent but we’d lose something if we stuck him in the first team. Agree with the others. Labuan is a big prospect, but a bit raw.

Think we are seeing it already, second half of the season salah has only been pretty good, not the worldie he was first half of the season.
