Garnacho and Gittens were great. Wirtz is mr 007. Also Benoit and Lavia were top notch.

You're only allowed to judge Gittens negatively. I'm cracking up thinking if we got Wirtz. This place would have melted down.

He’s being expected to score now when playing with 10 men?

Sounds like a manager issue to be honest. Now we’re reliant on one player or the system breaks down? Maybe use your other defenders and have someone who can step into the role even at a reduced capacity. Yes our CBs and GK are weak but you shouldn’t be losing these winnable games over teams we have a massive talent advantage over.

My issue is - for the most part outside of a select few games our play has been stagnant and pretty poor. We looked exciting and moved the ball well when Maresca first came in. Was that Poch's work still hanging around and then wore off? The only time we've looked good under Maresca is a select few games post the first half of last season. Despite what others think on here - being slightly weak on LW, and GK and CB issues aren't reasons to be sitting in 8th despite our quality elsewhere on the ground. Trev, Fofana, Tosin and Ach are good enough for a mid table team elsewhere. So why are we in 8th and playing ass football all season despite an abudance of talent elsewhere? Its on the manager.

How do you lot keep blaming anyone but Maresca? Cole Palmer, JP, Neto and Estevao - with Garnacho and Gittens filling in is one of the best attacking lots in the EPL. Our midfield is Caicedo, Enzo, Santos, etc. Literally the best box to box in the world, a world cup winner and the best MFer in France last year. We have arguably the best LB and best RB in the world - top 3 both of them. Our only weak positions are CB and GK. Trev is servicable at the very least and should be able to fill in against Brighton and Man United. So we're blaming recruitment instead of a coach who can't win against Man U and Brighton because of two bad positions on the field?

Arsenal have won nothing. Just want to point that out.

You guys are acting like our whole team sucks because our CBs and GK aren't elite. It isn't recruitment. We have plenty of good players. Our midfield is ridiculously good. Joao, Cole, Neto and Estevao is an insane attack. Our two starting FBs are world class. Maresca just needs to go. Played boring ass football for so long with the level of talent we have. It isn't recruitment or BlueCo - this is a title winning team with healthy CBs/slightly better CBs; Maresca just isn't good enough.

You're thinking of me right now. Good for you man. Tell your missus I said hi too. I'm sure you've told her about me.

Bit of a joke take considering they won the CWC. And a Euro final. It isn't the players, it is the managerial set up. To be honest though the first 45 minutes before the red card was our best play of the season.

He hits the ball with his left foot.

He hit the ball first. Before the Brighton player.

That isn't a red. He gets the ball and the follow through takes both players down.

Not really. It’s a game of inches and they could very well have 4 to 6 less points if things didn’t go their way.

Yeah people on here shitting their pants and acting like the world is over after a few games. It’s honestly boring at this point. Can we improve on things? Sure. The seasons just started though ffs.

That’s a penalty. Clearly impeded Pedro.

Doubt Palmer is injured. Blaming the manager for a Sanchez error is weird to me.

That was offside.

Based on what? He has been near our best player since the CWC - and had one bad game out of his more favoured position against Bayern. Craziness.

We need to buy a CB in January. Aside from that it was 3 errors that led to goals. Cut that shit out and I don’t think that’s the worst performance away from home. Despite being makeshift in the backline - we are a BS goal away to Brentford from being second in the league. No where near as dire as made out on here.

I actually think he will suprise a bunch of people. He is one of the guys that whenever I watched him play always impressed me. Neto was that guy before we bought him too.

If it were up to you we would overpay for everyone. Enzo who you loved and we clearly overpaid for is the weak link out of our midfield/front bunch. You lot overreact like teenagers on here.

Mate you’re just a sappy downer. That’s not on me. Breaking the outgoing transfer record clearly means we got rid of a lot of shit. You want everything gone in one swoop? Show me a team that’s done that. People on here upset City got Cherki acting like it was a stroke of genius when we get Garnacho who is statistically better, and you make us sound like mugs. You just have no perspective and don’t care to try to have any. We have a team that’s won the CWC and outperformed the CL winners. They’re doing okay as we’ve also shored up a lot of areas.

Because we couldn't play him the seasons prior... People are actually upset about Simons not going through when we have Cole/Pedro/Estevao for the middle, Estevao/Neto/Cole/George for the right, Garnacho/Gittens/Neto/George for the left. You don't go out and buy a 60 mil striker if one of your guys goes down for 6-8 weeks. We had two strikers. You recall one in Guiu, who is exactly the type of cover you need for this kind of situation, and you have the likes of Neto, George, etc if things get super bad.

So signing Simons, Kudus and Palhinha to a loan is better than our window? lol
