He's definitely put us in the weakest negotiating position possible, typical him really.

It's odd because all I want to see as a baseline is someone running their socks off like any fan would given a chance at donning the shirt, which he did vs City but you're completely right he took the shape out, allowed the midfield bypass and Im thinking to myself buddy you aren't fooling anyone here running around like a chicken when you aren't supposed to be at that time. Lavia and Caicedo often didn't have any options due him not being in the one touch range which lead to us going backwards. It's one game, blah blah blah, the difference is we've seen enough of Enzo further forward to know it doesn't work, similarly he gets breezed past being deeper but pings balls everywhere, it's definitely a conundrum. No one doubts his ability, remember the Liverpool game last year? Unreal individual performance, but I'm not sure he fits us, £100m+ problem.

Cracks me up Rio straight on his podcast "from what I'm hearing he wants clarity on the situation, the last convo they had wasn't that he was surplus to requirements" Re: Raheem. Not direct quotes but watch it and it's pretty much that. So ridiculous how childish Raheem is.

The length of the contracts now that the rule is in place on depreciation makes me really think we are in for some ban. Especially the Palmer deal.

Now we have Neto, I'd take Neto and Mudryk on LW with tutelage under Maresca for Mudryk as well. If you offer me that and Raheem out plus his ridiculously outrageous salary, I take it. Especially as Jackson is more than capable at LW as well.

Great game, surprised to see him go off instead of Enzo. Motm for me on our side.

Long balls were very good, where from? Deep. Shock. Not bloody #10!! No one doubts the talent but it's game 1 and he's already throwing his hands up because others aren't pressing with him.

Great start to the game, got cooked once Doku swapped sides a few times.

Sums up Raheem and his camp, no issues with him leaving the club, at all.

Lol the one thing Kova was never good at, great drive and goal.

Lavia off????

Levi lost his man, again, recovers well.

For those that watched RB A LOT, don't reply if you actually didn't btw, where was Nkunku's best position? I watched the odd game and not a full 90 either.

Caicedo needs to be picking up the ball and driving forward, shame as towards the end of the season he was a beast again.

Change it up.

- Nkunku invisible, Jackson in his way, vice versa - Enzo #10 not working - Palmer invisible

Cant fault Enzo's work ethic today he's been everywhere, #10 just doesn't work for him.

That's why Jackson should be on the LW

I was laughing the entire way through that.

Enzo playing further forward never worked before so why would it now. Needs to have a set of bollocks to change things at half time, don't do a poch and hope for the best.

Actually couldn't be more piss poor from the pairing not knowing where your CF/AM is against an elite side.

How many others have said on this forum, he isn't up to it, should have got shot when Liverpool were rumouring £75m

Levi not paying attention, not the first time in the game.

Jackson so out of sync with everyone. Prefer him to be on the left, move CN inside.

Yeesh, Guehi should have gone there.
