VAR is not going anywhere unfortunately. however we now find ourselves in a position with offside similar to that of the second amendment in the USA whereby the law has become so far removed from the original context for which it was intended and there’s no one consensus on what needs to be done...

yeah i was not shocked in the slightest. any big officiating scandal in the PL must have a roughly 90% chance of attwell being involved somewhere along the line

think we definitely need three players who can instantly come in and improve the team. that for me is an absolute minimum. RB, CM/DM, RW. Looks like we’ll sign an AM to replace lallana too, this may be dewsbury-hall however i’d like us to really push the boat out for desiré doué at rennes. real...

sorry, game of opinions and all, but that’s utterly ludicrous. only player who’s looked remotely competent as an attacking force for a decent period of time across the season as a whole. we’d be about 17th without him. our attacking ability fell off a cliff when he got injured

agree re undav although i think the player wanted to return, so possibly the best option there. ferguson has obviously been going through a very dry spell in front of goal, which happens, but for me the lack of creativity is the real problem. i’ve seen too many games where we just haven’t...

i think it works with one decent back up winger, such as adingra. as you have to bear in mind that the opposition will put two men on whoever our most threatening winger is, which is usually mitoma. obviously we’re in the situation where we have neither first choice winger, so nobody is...

christ, knew it was bad but not quite that bad. kinda makes sense when you’ve watched our games though. since we’ve had absolutely no threats on the wing, it’s been very difficult to create really good chances in the box. obviously there has been some missed chances where we could’ve done...

calling @Dr. No

i think that’s a really good way of looking at it, and not one i’d considered before to be honest. i don’t think it necessarily negates the fact that our summer window could’ve gone better, nor do i think it invalidates discussing how poorly we’re playing at the moment, which we are (aware you...

spot on, most annoying thing about that all was they seemed to get the best of both worlds in that game. scored a beautiful goal that RDZ would be proud of and also defended very resolutely. we can do the first part of that but haven’t really managed the second, when we’ve won we’ve just...

would cost a lot more than we’d probably pay just to loan him out. would expect him to cost similarish to trossard

the real issue is strength in depth. that doesn’t just mean numbers but also quality. that’s what we need to work towards. the difficulty is finding players who are content to maybe be on the bench but can also offer something as a sub, or when we have injuries. as our first choice 11 is still...

i keep hearing this but i’m not sure what other way would be better. we’ve been shit defensively all season, playing more on the counter with less possession would be asking for trouble

not sure what else he could’ve done there. was put in that awful situation by baleba

dire performance against a relegation fodder opponent. the phrase ‘foregone conclusion’ doesn’t go far enough

does what? i can’t see anything? :shootself

for those who don’t know, today’s been a good glimpse of what it was often like when we were at withdean/priestfield

accepted we’re not scoring here

can see fofana scoring at some point

he’s had a lot of those. a poor season is fine, especially from someone who’s given so much to the club, but he’ll need to improve for sure next season. nobody is undroppable
