The thing is though, he & the team will go and get us results in games against a PSG or a Barcelona (maybe even Arsenal) when we are the underdogs/mix it up or tweak our approach to expose something but then when it comes to playing lesser teams - we seem to struggle in terms of our performance, the tactical & mental sides particularly. Thats not changed this season. And thats where the majority of the frustration is because he is willing to be more flexible against a PSG, Barcelona etc but then he is absolutely insufferable & stubborn vs lesser sides & we get nowhere convincingly. Wait & see we will play well v Arsenal to follow up with this result then probably struggle v Leeds, Bournemouth, Atalanta & Everton….

Neto & Guiu brilliant there. Really like the looks of Guiu there is a top player in there just needs to keep playing. Tosin & Badiashile are a fucking nightmare though.

Anyone over the age of 26-28 is not being signed by this ownership/sporting directors again. So yes 100% a load of shite on Rudiger returning.

Whispers about us trying to get rid of Lavia getting louder & louder since news that United knocked us back including him as part of that deal for Garnacho…. So much for him, Fernandez & Caicedo being our long term midfield 3/most complete trio in world or Europe (still gets me every time thinking back to it). Not long after the rumours of us being open to selling Enzo Fernandez too if we got offered close to what we paid so yes fair to say that 2/3 have flattered to deceive. Getting rid of Lavia is the right thing to do, you cannot bank on a player who plays 30% of all games each season. Regardless of his potential ability. Will this ownership group ever learn though, signing someone who was already injured only to actively considering moving them on 2 or 2.5 seasons later… will be deemed as another bad move & rightfully so, lessons can be learned. I don’t see us dropping £100m + on either Elliot Anderson or Adam Wharton though & personally neither of them are worth that. It may be the going rate on the market but still we have got Santos & Essugo already on the books so would it not be more like sense to see what they are about before spending on that position again? Particularly given the noise on here about both those lads after loan spells in France & Spain….? I mean Santos in particular was the dogs bollocks last season according to many folk yet can barely get a sniff here 😂

So we were effectively looking at getting rid of him if the chance permitted itself? These co-sporting directors really are thick as fuck, no club is stupid enough to sign injury prone players off of us 🤣

Has to be first name on the team sheet if fit & available, his performances for us & for his NT make it pretty tough to justify leaving him out. I suppose if anyone could find a reason, it would be Enzo fucking Maresca though…..

A sponsor for the front of shirt will generate income though and after 2 seasons without, we could do with a sponsor 🤣

Yes but good squad/team building isn’t achieved by signing 25 x 18-21 year olds. You need to have some guys who are different ages to balance it out. Would get more out of Semenyo than both Gittens & Garnacho over the next 3 seasons probably. He will make an excellent addition to someone else. Our chances sailed the moment we dropped another £100m on 2 young wingers.

Cant be any worse than Tosin. People laughed when I said that last season too but Tosin has been found out as the second coming of Titus Bramble. And another 16 years old who is apparently “best CB talent” someone has seen. Great. He’ll be playing for Grimsby in 5 years probably. I know we don’t need wingers but would be devastated if we aren’t in the running for Semenyo. Looks really exciting. Suppose 25 years old probably makes him too old anyway but would’ve been a better signing than both Gittens & Garnacho. Oh well. Probably goes to City or Liverpool & tears it up. Even if he went to United think he’d do well - particularly after the output & performances they’ve got with Cunha & Mbuemo, PL proven players giving them much more than most expected, ok goals maybe lacking from Cunha but I think you see the all round ability is there. Mbuemo has really impressed me his physicality, dynamism & work rate.

How anyone expects us to be seriously competitive in the long run with that lanky streak of pish Tosin as one of our starting CBs every week, I don’t know. And last season he was a good signing for some because he was free… muppets. How are players like Colwill, Hato &, Josh even Fofana meant to learn & kick on if he is the starting CB their looking up to 🤣? On a wider note, Maresca has to go we are fucking terrible. We might not even make the next round of the CL at this rate.

Hopefully it does happen. He was signed on a free (would imagine sign on fee wouldn’t have been colossal either) though so if we sell him he will generate good profit 😂 isn’t that the club’s model?

He could send a message though and stop playing/subbing on that fucking clown Tosin. He has got rid of plenty of players he didn’t like/think were good enough to be here already, just play Josh instead of Tosin every week with Trev.

Talk of us looking at making a move for Mason Greenwood. No thanks, keep that rapist away from here 👍

Fair to say Joao Pedro, Garnacho, Neto & Gittens aren’t going to get enough goals and assists between them to make a huge difference. Who’d of thought 👀😂? Some proper clinical finishers today and we would of won 3 or 4-0. At least. Maresca needs to stop playing Reece in MF & benching Estevao…. Reece does the dirty stuff well but reluctance to pass forwards & too many touches slows the play down. Give Caicedo a new deal immediately also.

Caicedo is outstanding wow. We need a second foal though & Enzo probably should of got it with that header. Also whats with the going long to Pedro Neto when he’s up against Van der Ven? Done it like 5 times now 😂
