Gusto has got to be the dumbest player in the squad.

Worse footballing IQ than even Sanchez IMO. 

He's capable of raising his level and doing a job for the team, but it really feels like he has rocks for brains during key moments of the game.

I see it as a good thing. Just get him off the team

Play James or Caicedo at RB instead of him

For the €106m (£92m) we dumped on Garnacho and Gittens we could have had either Sememyo or Kenan Yıldız AND also met the price easily for Maignan. And then sold either Jörgensen or Sanchez for additional funds and went after a veteran CB, especially after Colwill went down.

They wanted 2m.

Although he probably wouldn't become this player if signed 6 years ago.

Credit to Maresca for the changes but we had no business being so dire against this Forest side in the first half. I am not convinced we have turned a corner until we start to control games with regularity

We started with a makeshift midfield who haven't really played together, fully expected Forest to get on top and get an early goal.  Thankfully they left their shooting boots at home!

We could have paid Villa for Rogers instead of Garnacho and Gittens.

Rogers is more of an balling carrying AMF/No 10 type than a true winger like Sememyo or Yıldız 

That is why my maximal wish list for summer 2026 includes either Sememyo or Yıldız plus Rogers

Josh has really impressed me. He should be a locked on starter ahead of Fofana. 

Trev on the left side of the back 2 is either good or horrendous. He is much better suited to the right side.

Also so much of our offence is based on our press. Having Guiu out there with Pedro behind is vital to that. Guiu is a pressing machine. Neto and Estevao need to be locked on starters with Palmer out as well.

Happy to see Josh get minutes and also good to see that the club didn't sell him off in the window (Bournemouth and a few other clubs were quite keen for a permanent deal).

I like that expression. 🙂

Who else makes the list?
