Whats that 3 games in a row and now missing again

Based on what Matt Law was saying in his podcast, we're going to be under UEFA restrictions next season and beyond (assuming we qualify for european football). The most interesting part was: Jackson isn't in the UCL squad this season, so his potential sale wouldn't count towards UEFA sales for next season. We would have to sell players in List A to buy new players.

Win? Brighton will be able to walk in 2 goals easily against this defense. What a joke. 😆

90 million spent for bench players Surely we could have paid Palace a decent fee to get Guehi back?

Surely we have a striker in the youth team? If George is going to play, let him run around on the wings, he looks completely lost up front.

Someone like the Bournemouth manager would be good

How many games has Lavia actually been fit for? What a waste of money

Going back to this comment, so how much has Josh played after the initial Palace game? Knowing Fofana he'll play 2 more games and then go missing for another 10, he's like the defender version of Lavia

How can you say that, we signed the mighty DISASI as a key position CB, then he played as a RB, then he got loaned out to Villa to share the brilliance. Also, what about the great LAVIA who can barely stay fit for 5 games. I said at the time that outbidding Liverpool for Lavia was a waste of money. Add in Fofana, Badiashile and Mudryk (who wants to become a runner now).....and the wasted money is hilarious. 40 + 50 + 70 + whatever we spent on Badi and Mudryk 😆

I do miss the days when we would actually take on the opposition with speed on the counter. Feel like a lot of PL teams will be able to score 2-3 goals on us as our defensive line is non existent.

Don't worry, by next month, that gap will open up We also had luck vs Palace, then against Fulham with that disallowed goal.

Seems like everyone's ego got a little bigger after winning the CWC. Just because we got past PSG in pre-season doesn't make us a contender 😆

Lets be real, Barca weren't going to sell Fermin unless it was some ridiculous transfer fee Not sure why we splashed on Gittens and then missed out on Simons cause we didn't have enough sales to meet UEFA criteria. I miss the good old days of Cech - JT - Essien - Lamps - Drogba.

Wasn't he asked the same question in one of the previous games and I'm pretty sure he responded with something like George needed minutes more than Guiu or something along those lines. Alot of his decisions recently seem quite poor. Like with Palmer today, if he wasn't ready to go, why start with him and potentially make his injury worse?

I saw on reddit that one of the posters was saying that Maresca is playing George to keep his value so that they can sell him in January.

Liverpool improved from last season, they basically upgraded Nunez into two technical goal scorers up front Arsenal go and get two talented defenders to join as squad players, Zubimendi to complement the midfield and even Madueke adds to their attack We just spent 90 million on two left wingers and yet George gets sent out there to do some cardio game after game. Why not give a chance to Josh in the back line or Santos in midfield? I hate seeing Reece in midfield, he's a natural winger/fullback, let him express himself on the flanks!

He won't be sold because it would be a massive hit to his book value. He got a 7 year contract back in 2022. Transfer was around 70-75 million.

It was on Maresca, you sub off two attackers that early in the game (knowing Cole isn't anywhere near 100%), then you throw on George and Gusto when we actually had a chance to have a go at United. At this point, I'm not sure what Maresca is trying to prove by bringing on George off the bench every other game.

Get ready for more losses in the PL, just saw our upcoming fixture list 😆

Just wait for the next two games, Brighton & Liverpool will be having a party at the Bridge.

We already had a pretty good young CB at the club (Veiga) and the decision was made to sell him and keep Tosin/Chalobah/Fofana.

Opposition under pressure, playing at Old Trafford, their manager just had talks with their owner.... This has 1-0 to them (courtesy of a free penalty from us) or 1-1 written all over it 😆 Talk about horrible fixtures, we got United (away), then Brighton at home, then Liverpool at home.

Thought Palmer had a minor issue at the end of the Bayern game?

All of the games will be tough, we just looked off the pace. What happened to Enzo, just looks a bit slow since start of the season. Was hoping Lavia would be back by now to offer midfield rotation. Club made a mistake not going after a good CB + GK in the transfer window. Instead we spent 50 million on Gittens and then another 40 on Garnacho.

If we did sign a keeper, we'd still be stuck with Sanchez and Jorgensen on the books with even lower re-sale value. The Maignan deal made sense as he was old enough to play a few seasons and if Penders is as good as they say, he would be ready to fight for that #1 spot in 2 years time.
