    • Because you need to try players. It will be the same with a new manager he needs to try these players.  At least by now Poch knows who is who and what we need to fix. 
    • The first, we can always get someone else if things don't improve but we need to keep and keep improving our team. I'm sick and tired of the constant change of managers and we stay with duds that need to be giving a go. Within Poch at already know what we need, a better defense. The goals are being fix. I remember last season that was the problem and with Poch and team we have address that. Now we need to focus on defense.  I want to see how Pochetino does with another season and a better d
    • Yup improving immensely and we do not have lavia back. I'm interested to see what he will bring next season if he can stay fit for crying out loud.   
    • A player i think we should take a look from Gremio is the LB Pedro Gabriel(17). I believe he will be a great player.    
    • yes, Gallagher is certainly the mid with most freedom esp when Enzo does not play. I just don't see Caicedo having the skillset needed to thrive when moving into these contested areas, it takes a different type of player more in the mould of Enzo. What he did at Brighton might have been important at the time we signed him--now I rather just take what I see from 31 appearances. My main concern is that the role in question, the deterrent as you call it (aka ball-winning mid), does not even ex
    • He has the perfect winger build for the PL.  He is strong and fast - and shifty. Obviously a little one footed, but he just needs to read the game better and keep his head up with the dribble and he can be extremely effective for us moving forward. The pass to Jackson was an easy one, so he needs to find the slightly tougher passes from reading the game.  Big potential - but yeah - Poch needs to keep drilling in him the value of moving the ball quickly, not holding it, and continue mov
    • Always asked to do the most in the middle, gets the most heat because of his price tag, but keeps getting better.  "He is an absolute flop"  Sure he is. 21 years old and the finished product. Footballers don't get better. Good thing Vini Jr was benched and never played again. Good thing we got rid of KDB and Salah. Good thing Didier wasn't given the time to grow into his role here.  Football is a numbers game. We aren't losing games because we are overly less clinical than other t
    • His role is to sit behind and act as the deterrent. What stats did you want him to have? He has significantly more progressive passing and pass completion compared to Conor over the season... What more proof do you want - or are you using a single game pool of data to harp on?  He isn't asked to play the same role as Brighton exactly. Conor is the one that pushes more forward. In reality, these two should be replacing each other on a week to week basis and we should have more of a DM. 
    • "Very good stats." that's not the discussion here. 🙂  I'm pointing out the skill side of his game, esp in attack, which was the *specific* point I was replying to.
    • If you do a season average score comparison between Gallagher and Caicedo, Gallagher has the higher score and he is meant to be so sh*t that most of the forum wanted him sold in the summer at any cost. This is also before considering Gallagher has only just recently been put in his natural position whereas Caicedo has played in his all season. 
    • What stats are you pointing to exactly, because that shows very good stats... lol
    • FWIW, I've heard of him for a while likely before he even signed with the Neymars. Regarding the bit about, "I think nobody should sign him until we see the player in the first team." I'm afraid that ship has sailed esp now with Endrik.
