Reddish-Blue

Maybe that's part of the plan for Enzo, cause a bit of a stir with ownership and assuming the club flops and misses out on UCL next season, get your agent to start pushing for a move to La Liga?

Its not even 'downing tools', if the manager can't get the respect of the key players, they can choose not to perform and play in 2nd gear. There are some similiarities with young AvB trying to shake things up (which ultimately failed). It was obvious that the PSG game killed this squad. You don't change goalkeepers in a critical game just because you feel one is good with the ball at his feet. If Liam has any managerial ability, he should come up with something for the next 2 home games.....otherwise all I see is two more humiliating losses.

The only bright spark is Estevao, just hope his head doesn't get turned by other European clubs!

With the way the players have given up, there's no chance of UCL next season (which may actually be a good thing as Blueco won't be able to sign any big name flops). That gutless performance against Newcastle's second rate midfield said it all. They let Woltemade, Murphy and co run around the pitch without doing anything. No sense of urgency, playing at home, you should be trying to force a goal rather than pass the ball around for stats. Not sure what happened to Enzo, Caicedo, Palmer, even Pedro....all of them appear to be in 2nd gear and going through the motions. After the United game, the club should just play some youngsters like Walsh, Shim and others and give them experience for next season as we'll be out of the UCL race by a mile.

How on earth is JT not one of the coaches for the first team, considering our defenders are hopeless (other than Reece and Cucu on his day) Watching Fofana jog around and attempt bicycle kicks against Newcastle was disgusting. 75 million for a low IQ defender Let Gordon run past him, then let Beto ghost him today.

What a shameful performance. Got slapped by 8 goals and then we turn up at Everton and put in that sort of display. Other than Enzo's 1 shot on target, what were the actual tactics for the 1st half? Seemed like "pass the ball, recycle possession" instead of trying to find a way into the box. We just handed Everton european football for next season

This guy is out of his depth, should be sacked before the back to back games against United and City. Fofana gets cooked in back to back PL games by the same mistake and he keeps starting at CB.

The sad part is, that bloke they had as caretaker Callum forget his last name, was actually half decent against City. Rosenior has been here since Jan and we've looked good in 2 games under him (one was the UCL away to Napoli and the other was Villa away), every other game we've basically struggled to score or given away cheap goals like Leeds, Burnley, Newcastle etc. Imagine a manager getting slapped by 8 goals in the UCL under Roman and not even being able to score a goal at home. PSG may be a different class but your playing at your home ground, not even a consolation goal for the fans that went to the stadium

Because it was the EASY thing to do, just get your manager from the sister club and get the next one ready... Interesting how they went with Gary for Strasbourg and he's managed in PL before, they probably told him that if you do decent enough we'll bring you back to England in 18 months 😄😡

Maybe the project was to be like Brighton, buy young players and try to sell them off in a few seasons time (rinse & repeat). If that's not the project, I really don't understand why we bought in the likes of Gittens, Delap, Garnacho to "help" our attack. Two of them are only here because of their ex-City connections (same with Tosin) and as for Garnacho, United were BEGGING clubs to take him and no-one was keen except for us, Spurs and maybe Napoli.

Estevao would be the only reason to even bother watching the game. May as well let the academy strikers have a go as Delap is useless. Used to think Jackson was raw....but man, Delap looks like he's never played as a striker before.

Tosin about to put in a world class performance for Everton and then laugh at full time with his bestie Palmer.

I doubt he leaves Strasbourg mid-season if thats the case. Key players have already started to check out mentally, can't wait to see another 'passive' performance against Everton with Moyes getting that one goal to win the game.

You mean the same Emery who isn't happy at Villa because he prefers to have control over transfers? Imagine him trying to work with Eghali and the Brighton boys.

They will always find half decent managers to come in like your Potter, Liam types as these guys could never dream of being the manager of a typical top 4 club like us. Plenty of those managers out there across Europe but they all have the same problem, they can't handle the pressure of expectations. Just look at the last two games with Liam. Throws the tie against PSG by playing Jorgensen in the first leg. Then we can't do anything against Newcastle's reserve midfield and they literally WALK the ball into our goal with every defender casually jogging back. I knew this was coming, you could tell after the cup tie with Wrexham, they were down to 10 men and they were creating opportunities. The problem is, we will never hire a top level manager again, the one that needs to come in and build the spine of the team and get us into that killing mode of being able to win those tight games like a Mourinho (04-05), Conte, Tuchel.

He'll be gone by end of the season, seems like they are just waiting for him to finish 6th or 7th with this group of players. I honestly don't see how we win the next PL games. The whole team sucks and Reece is out.

He needs to finish 1 season at Strasbourg to automatically qualify for the role 😆

Hoping for James to be fit but if not, hopefully Livramento gets a chance to be around the squad, quality fullback. Hurts to see Livra and Hall doing well at Newcastle!

When we need our captain for the run-in to end the season.... Our chances of top 4 are pretty much gone without Reece out there. May as well give Josh the minutes for his development

I'd keep Santos around, he's still young and has the tools to be a good midfielder (also, it'd be good for Estevao to have a Brazilian team mate in the side to settle in) If Cucurella/Enzo wish to go to La Liga, that's up to them but which Spanish club has 120+ million ready to go for Enzo?

Lets put the suits aside, the fact that we conceded 5 to PSG and there were no changes at CB. What happened to performance standards. Newcastle didn't have Tonali, Bruno G out there and Joel didn't start and yet we had ZERO urgency against that second rate midfield. Enzo and Palmer should be ashamed, what a chance to have a big game and yet they were playing in 2nd/3rd gear recycling possession instead of trying to get into the box and test out Ramsdale.

Wonder if the club could just make him go to Strasbourg (sort of like Chilwell).

Whos going to buy him? The only hope is that Marseille or some French club give him a chance but it'll probably be a super low fee as they know he's injury prone.

Someone should pull up that pre season highlight where it was Tosin or Badiashile and the ball is about to cross the line and instead of trying to clear it, they just watch it go over the line. Our defenders have no commitment, not willing to get dirty like your JT, Cahill, Luiz, Ivanovic. They just want to recycle possession and show that they are 'trying' to help the team. Fofana did nothing the whole game and then goes up for corners and starts trying bicycle kicks.

Everton away could be the end for our top 4 chances. What a waste of a season. Can't wait for this season to be over.
