Colwill and DIsasi as FB's. Why?

I have a worrying feeling that we'll actually need him today, which really shouldn't be the case at all. The last thing we want is for him to be pushed too much, resulting in another extended layoff.

The fact that Nkunku could make his competitive debut gives me some reason to be excited about Sunday's fixture. We're in dire need of someone to ignite our season.

Enzo and Caicedo are "projects"? I'm led to believe that Poch had a say in transfers, so if so, he's just as much to blame as those upstairs. Also, our last two performances were dire, but most players retained their places. As I alluded to above, he has the power to make personal changes rather than come out with embarrassing comments after such performances.

Or, Poch could possibly do his job by finding a solution. It's a farfetched idea, I know.

I'm talking about selection choices. He can make Jackson run a billion laps, but until today, he has constantly starting despite a string of subpar performances. There are a number of players who should be spending time on the bench.

This squad wouldn't be able to cope with that sort of discipline. The real issue with Poch is that players can seemingly put in 2/10 performances without any repercussions.

We can't even say we've been unlucky over the last two games. Second best by a long stretch against two sides that are extremely poor, which says everything about our current predicament. This rinse-and-repeat cycle needs to stop at some point. Get a manager that actually has a voice and a CV that's worth mentioning.

Just have a look at this post match comments. If you have a manager who's content with dross, you can't expect much else from the players.

I never believed he was. His claim to fame is "getting close" with a Tottenham side.

If we can't turn this around, Poch's position has to be in question. He can't build any consistency.

I do have to wonder what our midfield really offers most of the time. Enzo just isn't an 8 for me.

No other reasonable explanation. Back to square one defensively.

I'm pleased Poch has finally decided to make a change up top, but Sanchez keeps his place after his last performance. This is why we're a mess, as some players can literally get away with anything and still retain their place.

And somehow, he was voted the player of the tournament too 😄

If Villa keep backing Emery, they could become serious threats.

It's been like that for seasons, unfortunately. I'm not disputing that. Just stating that United gave us chances to inflict even more misery on them.

Or taken their chances? We were dire, but we had more than enough chances to better the two goals United scored.

If we have any sense (Todd & co don't), we'll stay well clear of players from the Eredivisie.

He played for a dire Southampton side and has even played twenty league games for us. Not to mention, he's only 22 to boot. I never once said either were good enough long-term (been calling out Osimhen's name before he even moved to Lille), but Broja is the lesser of the two evils and has a presence. Tbh, it's beyond draining going on about the CF position at this point. Look at their CL position in one of the easiest groups. People can pick and choose what to look at.

One can finish. I'll let you figure out which one.

Broja and Jackson on together. That's not asking for trouble at all.

If Sanchez isn't dropped after this game, I'm honestly going to be pushing for a managerial change. His performance has been that bad.

Colwill at LB. I hate this nonsense.

The AFCON can't come soon enough. Get Broja on ASAP.
