This.
He's improved sure, but the technical level you want from him just isn't there.
The fact he is captaining our side, is seemingly undroppable, and is leading our midfield just exemplifies the state the club is in and where we are in the table.
Reminds me of a young Hazard.
Nevertheless, almost fucking 90m pounds for this lad. Just how many CAMs do we want?

Again that is just an outright lie. The sheer overblown misapprehension on players after one defeat does my head. Are we just going to ignore Caicedo's first touch side of the boot pass that split open Arsenal's defence and had Mudrk though? Or his ping pass to Colwill after ignoring Enzo which set up Mudryks' goal against Fulham?
Caicedo is a physical aggressor who is fantastic at challenging the ball and is technical enough to be both good in possession as well as finding the right pass. His xT at Brighton last season and even this season still remain high.
That is just an outright lie. He's the only one yesterday that played through channels to find Palmer. I actually applaud his willingness to play through those channels constantly. Even under immense pressure.
Comparing him to Kante was daft then and is still daft now. There is only one Kante. At best Caicedo can provide the same level of influence as pre-injury Essien.
Because Poch needs aerial dominance on the pitch to combat the likes of Brentford shitehousing and relying on a set piece to get anything. Our kryptonite in essence.
Disasi for me is just a very average defender. It has to come to a point where Poch starts being more proactive in his selection. Nothing to lose anymore. What's the worse that can happen? Lost 0-3 instead of 0-2?
Really makes you want to shun the outside world from the utter embarrassment in how we've behaved the past 1.5 years and the contrast in results compared to our rivals.
Really starting to hate this.
Context probably important here but I swear to god if I see any more young player links I might just break my computer. This is getting beyond ridiculous.
First name in attack for me.
Can see us using this set up against the bigger teams even with Nkunku fit.

Gallagher Nkunku
I think we should give him Brentford and Petrovic Blackburn. Sanchez looks shaky against Brentford as well, with Petrovic looking assertive against Blackburn, than we know what to do.
