Signs have been there all year. We did what we did last year for the 1st half of the season. We competed and hate to say it brought teams down to our level and won points we didn’t deserve. This papered over the cracks till Xmas and we didn’t recruit when we should have done in the winter. Now...
That they are. To top it off we brought a number 10 who can score and create and play him deep where he offers no protection to the back 4 and play him alongside an even slower player in Stephens and also bring in a deep lying CM from an outstanding 2 years in the German top flight and decide he...
Think it feels that way as we were out fought by a pretty poor side. The one thing I could guarantee tonight is Warnock would have them bang up for it. We didn’t match that fight which is the hardest pill to swollow.
Not even all the problems. All over the park we are weak.
CB pairing have been found wanting against any sort of mobility. At this level Duffy really needs moving.
Montoya positioning is some of the worst I’ve seen for a RB
Bernardo - good player good signing but a lot stillntonlearn
Midfield...
The problem is we are not identifying talent that is able to play at this level with the budget we have. We are dipping into Holland France ect for players that have got stats on paper but can’t hack it in the PL. Locadia and Ali’s j combined total of £32 million quid. Thus far not a lot for the...
Were you not there when we played Millwall under Hyypia. That was far worse in fighting in the north and that was dire football at a lower standard
Personally most fans are unrealistic in their expectations. We are currently a bottom 6 PL club and CH is doing his best I’m sure to get us over...
It could have been more. Yesterday he was left exposed constantly. Changing keeper isn’t going to solve anything.
Only one of a very small number who are PL quality.
Montoya way badly exposed a number of times of the right.
The number of times it appeared that they had 5 on 3 on the break was...
You have to move players on and progress the squad.
I’d personally let Montoya (some of his positioning for a right back is baffling at times)
Knockaert - seems in a paradox to good for championship but not good enough for PL and he is to petulant
Propper - potentially keep but isn’t mobile...
Has to stay really. Making a change of manager won’t help with 6 games left. We need to go back to basics win ugly and get the job done.
Oddly enough if we are relegated I would say keep CH as his championship record is outstanding and his full 2 seasons in the Championship were some of the best...
Have they? There is an OK player there but if we could get our money back I would let him go invest in someone else. He’s had 18 months and hasn’t managed to shift an ageing Glenn Murray and Andone is above him every time he’s actually half fit
Doesn’t really matter does it? Nice gesture by him no matter what. Sure they will have a great day out and may allow kids who maybe can’t affird to be there enjoy it. Seems a win only situation to me
Seems to have matured greatly under Guardiola on and off the pitch.
I wouldn’t go mad changing the squad in terms of coming in but we do need to move a lot along. Some players time to move on now. Suspect Hemed to be sold/released if contract is up. Suttner and the greyhound also. Bruno and Bong most likely moved along although if Bruno retires back room staff...
