Reddish-Blue

Another coach may not panic every time we get a red card and take off all the attacking options. First at United, taking off two attacking players in the first 20 minutes. Then against Brighton throwing on Gusto, Lavia, Josh. You don't beat a team like Brighton by throwing on "defensive" players and trying to soak up pressure.

Lol there was a player in Sancho as well (back in the day) but when your current club want nothing to do with you, that's a massive red flag.

Good point, I like to ask this question: how many of the current starting XI would walk into the title challenging sides? Caicedo, Palmer, Cucurella, Estevao for potential, Joao Pedro as a squad option. Its been clear for a while that our squad isn't good enough to challenge Livo/Arsenal or even City. Spending 90+ million on two wingers and both weren't needed by their current clubs. Garnacho was basically in United's bomb squad with Anthony and a few others and yet we still ended up paying them 40 million (at least they got part of the Mount fee back).

The problem is, we don't have any other goalkeepers. Its not like we have an experienced keeper in the squad like Begovic or Schwarzer back in the day who can come in and play 1-2 games. The choice was: stick with Jorgensen or put Sanchez back in.

The funny thing is, Sancho's permanent transfer to us was 25 million....and yet we ended up paying 40+ for Garnacho. United must have been delighted when Garnacho said he's not leaving the PL as Napoli were only offering 25-30 million.

If that's true, then the tactics should be changed like what Tuchel did and use Reece as like a third CB on the right side.

well...at least we'd have a new first choice goalkeeper if De Zerbi came along 😆

Not first, that was the Forest manager 😄

What was the point of breaking Guiu's loan if he isn't going to play at all? Makes no sense

Why is Colwill there? 😆 Was this like a recruitment pitch "Hey Roberto, how would you like to return to Premier league coaching"

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.
