Would anyone take him back?

Joke of a draw Jesus Christ.

Dreading Spurs game.

Never seen a team so lacking in finishing it boggles my mind. It genuinely does confuse me how we waste so many chances and I honestly do not recall watching another team regularly thinking "close that" time and time again.

Genuinely making me sleepy.

Poch and co see Petrovic day in day out, we don't, it may be worth giving Sanchez another run out for confidence etc.

He did what was right for his development at the time, can't fault him for that, plenty of others came to us in the opposite scenario. I don't think he fits any team that doesn't already have someone there, whether they are better or not.

If you could take two players out of any team in the world, financially possible, who would it be? We are desperately missing leadership, I watched Obi's podcast the other day on what life was like at Chelsea with Ballack, Essien etc and one point that always strikes is that he said everyday was like you had to prove yourself or you'd be told what you're not doing.

I missed today as I had plans I couldn't move but Moises has been good to great in previous games since his less than sparkling debut, steady increase in performance, again I unfortunately (fortunately?) did not get to see the game today, so I can't comment there but I've been very impressed with his play. World class? No.

I wonder when Milan actually found out about Tonali.

Absolutely agree, it's almost reminding me of another team that seem to have no plan last season... They've definitely backed him financially and I expect if Radcliffe gets the all clear for the stake then he'll lobby for the structural changes, unsure how it affects spending though, I recall when he was involved in our bidding that he wouldn't have backed the investment on players, yes our owners made mistakes but I'd take the spend than being hamstrung.

Oddly he has the opposite attitude that I'd expect, ie. I expected arrogance etc but what we got was a shy humble type of chap, not the killer instinct confident type that knew his ability, Liverpool game aside. As long as we give him time, I expect we will have a very very good player, pay attention in the games to the other lads still shouting and directing him where he should be or move to, tactically he is years behind it seems, so strange.

This is what winds me up, United despite playing absolutely dire are creeping out results and they will click, somewhat, at some point.

Cut that damn mop.

I'm hoping we learn how to creep out results like United are somehow doing. Onward and upward to Jan, striker and put a call into Valencia GK department.

So frustrating, still this morning, we bosses that game until inviting pressure via the mistake, Arsenal were out of ideas entirely, well done to Poch and team, tactically. Yesterday showed our glaring weaknesses again, GK and ST. Those that came on in NJ and Noni, my word, look in the mirror this morning, especially Noni, or give up and go on loan to 10 clubs like CHO. Really disappointed since he was dropped.

Disagree here, the mistake and even prior to that with the Onana impression non-punch put us under pressure, already a weak team and moments of seeing our games by playing keep ball is only a good thing when protecting a lead against a top team.

A few of us wanted and couldn't believe we weren't snapping up Mamardashvili if I recall, including you, £22m-odd or there abouts, shocking how we've given up a 2-0 lead where Jackson and Palmer both should have put us 4-0 up.

Nothing on Poch here, weak mentality players.

What could Thiago do there? Jesus has spent so much time on the floor ffs. No consistency either with Arsenal bookings in the 1st half aside from Zin.

Just give me some fight for the 90, into every challenge.

Here I go again, going against my usual pessimistic nature and letting myself think "maybe we will win.. no, we WILL win" fast forward to tonight when I refuse to open any internet tabs 🤣

Not just yet, sound post though! Conor has improved absolutely, I posted a few times that despite his blue stripes the effort he makes can sometimes get him into trouble, whether that's a rash challenge or positionally or simply receiving the ball and overthinking it, we all remember Tuchel going nuts at him on the touchline? No doubt he's come a long way from that player, which is a credit in itself, I'm keen to see where he is this time next year.

How is it such a mystery when he is the stiffest guy known to EPL.

Wouldn't say he's been good for them or bad, one performance really under par, otherwise just a body in their midfield. The trouble comes about when they replaced a goal scoring midfielder with a non goal scoring midfielder, simple as that.
