  1. Good to hear. People here are spoilt and a bit in their feels at the moment. Like DDA said above - you have to appreciate coming in and trying to take things on your way. Reality is - they are successful at what they do and making successful teams. We have bitched and moaned throughout the Roman era that the football wasn't pretty, we never gave the youngsters a go, and that we have no real continuity and identity... Well, we are trying now, and this is what it takes. Some rough times and growing pains. "Fans" here act like we are going through the worst of the worst. Reality is; we are not all that far removed from winning the club world cup, a CL title, and we have done some fantastic business for great young talents. We have some players that aren't cutting it right now like KK, Cucu and others, but we have signed promising talents. This is no different to any other team, aside from the fact I would say we are talent stacked heading into next season bar a striker. Potter was a mistake, but it seems they are ready to try a different approach. Give it time.
  2. He has been our best attacker. Gets the most flack - but quite comfortably the best attacker. No one on our team can score goals - but for some reason - him playing out of his natural position and not being able to do it gets him the most flack. I've been impressed by his hold up play, distribution and physical play. To be honest as well, he was at one point the only one playing in between the lines of the defence when it really should have been guys like Mount and Sterling at the time.
  3. Sign him up on a 15 year contract.
  4. That'd be tremendous business. He looks really really good. Vesper - you've watched Toney a bit. Is he a good long term solution?
  5. Is it me, or is this fairly cheap for a player of his quality? Also - Ivan Toney seems to play really well whenever I watch. Don't know much about him, but is he actually a possible long term option for us up front? Good at pressing? Can someone tell me a bit about him who has watched him more frequently.
  6. For all the complaints about new management and how "amateurish" they have been - they are getting rid of all the players that nearly the consensus on here have considered dead wood and not effective. Not only that - they are buying with a clear picture/vision in mind. Pace up front is clearly being targeted. We have strong defenders with pace at the back. Great technical full backs now. The only "fault" on the owners is the hiring of Potter - but there has been a little turnaround in results as of late.
  7. I'm okay with the 2-3 year contract. He is one of our best players ever. If we can get a similar ball winner to him in the middle (Lavia, etc), giving him someone to rotate with, that'd be perfect. I could be biased, but I don't want to sell Kante ever. Let him retire a Chelsea player.
  8. Hasn't put a foot wrong and created a lot from the back.
  9. Happy for Mudryk being involved. Kai and him linking up well.
  10. Havertz is our best attacker. I'll say it again. Shit on him all you want - we have no goal scorers on this team - and he does a great job holding, passing off, etc.
  11. My issue is - they should have had a red 2 minutes in - yet it seems that everything we do is checked for VAR - while they get away with murder.
  12. Shame. Ah well. Great build up. Cucu is great in a 3 atb. Completely different player.
  13. They've had the two worst tackles in the game so far and yet we have the yellow card.
  14. Of course we get a yellow… get fucked
  15. Due to his history here and rocky times - he will never get his fair praise. He has his moments, like any keeper - but he has been solid. I'd get moving him on, but aside from high corners, he is rock solid. He is a fantastic shot stopper.
  16. I guess for this season - revert back to what works - find a team thats already gelled a bit, etc. Next season and off season we can focus on using the Maduake and Mudryk - a 4 ATB system - etc.
  17. All of the players we bought during the summer I'm super happy with. From an individual level, I think all have done well, including Enzo. Reality is - the team isn't set up right. Despite the results, not really upset at the fact we spent so much on him and the others as you can see it is all there from an individual standpoint. Just need a manager that can get these guys playing together.
  18. Surely a piss take? Gakpo looked all of ass before Liverpool found its feet and now all of a sudden he is amazing. He was sucking it up hard before that. Same thing for Mudryk. If you can't see he is talented, that is on you. As soon as we get a decent manager or tactics down pat, he will come good. Kid is uber talented and not being used correctly.
  19. We needn't worry about Arsenal. Sthampton and Leeds are our level that we need to worry about .
