I agree, if we get wallopped a couple of times by Chelsea it'll be shit. But I think the solution is pretty obvious - banish Lamptey from full back (he may well be off in a day or so anyway). Jack is a much safer bet at left back (even though, funnily enough, he was given the run about in last season's Forest match, after he came on as a sub for Lamptey!). And get Baleba and Ayari back in centre mid. Maybe even add Gomez to the midfield and bench Mitoma or JP.
It will be along time before it gets better than DeZerbi, Villa got their man in Emery and keep him happy que champions league football.
But he wasn’t happy with Barco, and a deal was being agreed for KDH and he was less than enthusiastic when he spoke to the player apparently…
Unfortunately RDZ wasn't committed to the very end.
4 bad windows in my opinion.
He doesn’t make the signings. The club do. He just coaches the players that the club bring in. Shit show on all levels since the summer of 2023!
Barco who’s been frozen out by both Fab and Sevilla and KDH who’s in Chelsea’s bomb squad?
Maybe we should have signed another Dahoud & Igor for him then
That's where I'm at. I really do feel sympathy for Fab. The Premier league is unforgiving for a manager that had no experience (compared to previous roles) but right now, he is learning and time will tell on how he deals with this scrutiny he is under. My reactions like many others after a humiliation is purely down to I hate us losing. I can take us losing to say, a brilliant Liverpool who'll win the league and are simply too good for us but can't take a 7 nil thrashing (even against Liverpool) when we have a quality squad of players that should be doing better! Using Liverpool as an example, we played our best 45 of the season up there by far and could've been out of sight by half time. Since then, we have seen some good 30/45 min spells but nothing more than that.
Spot on, the conversation about a £200m summer spend with RDZ never happened IMO.
Nope. I still find it mental that he achieved so much with a strong squad. We then sell AMA and Caicedo and never replace them ahead of a Europa League campaign. Since then we’ve lost: Lallana, Gross, Gilmour and replaced them with 2 kids. I like Ayari and Baleba but we have no experience in the middle of the park. Wieffer and O’Riley have been a waste of time so far. It’s so lacklustre.
he starts with one midfielder a lad who hasn’t played for months yep let’s stick with this clown.
Nothing wrong with Igor. Perfectly ok back up CB who was getting even better with games. We’ve replaced Dahoud with O’Riley.
I'd say recruitment has been average to poor since Cashworth left and the mass exodus to Chelsea.
At last! The voice of reason. We really are sounding like a bunch of entitled idiots. We are TENTH in the Premier League FFS. It's embarrassing losing 7-0, but there were loads of factors at play. We as fans will focus on the here and now, but luckily guys like Bloom and Barber are focussing on the next 5 years (or longer). Sometimes when you take long term decisions the short term isn't great. If Fab doesn't pull through, then I have absolute confidence that the Board will make the right decisions in the long term interests of the club.
You must be a Geiger counter, the amount of fallout you have discovered in the last year.
