KT tape. Usually used to and recovery from a pull/tear, or could be preventative based on previous injuries. Maybe he's had a hammy problem hence not seen anything of him in preseason (or he's shitehouse, obviously)

Ah, thanks. Perhaps nervous post the Everton strain last season......

It was the light blue strapping from his upper thigh down past his knee.

As someone else pointed out, both Ali and Andone seemed far to desperate to impress in the 10 minutes they were given.
That rarely ends well.

Andone did a couple of half decent tackles the only minor snaffoo being they were on players wearing stripes.

Yes Andone really buzzed about, and we are a different team with movement up front....

Because posters like that seem to have already made up their minds and no amount of evidence to the contrary appears to be able to change that.

Having a manager like that would mean £30m would be shown the door having done very little in an incredible difficult season, on someone else's watch.

I'd imagine those that would be pleased would also be the first to chime in with 'well he couldn't do that for us', if the players found the form that bought them here in the first place.

But why stop there?

Propper couldn't string 2 passes together on his debut v City - cut loses and replace.
Ryan made one mistake against Madrid - cut loses and replace.
Gross is too slow - cut loses and replace.

Hope that’s not aimed at me....

Presumably you aren’t about to change your opinion on Murray (not that I necessarily disagree).

But, also picking up your points re Locadia and AJ, these are not one or two games, their ineffectiveness has been consistent.... So those posters that don’t rate them arguably are well justified in their view...... The whole ‘shitehouse’ thing though is utter nonsense.

Big few months for both.....

Just beginning to wonder whether AJ May want to get out prior to the end of the European window.

I'm still not convinced, yes he is neat and tidy on the ball has a reasonable first touch and passes the ball ok but if he is to play up front we need more than that.
I'd love to eat humble pie and be proved wrong however I just can't see that much of a change in the player even with a new manager.

I totally agree.

But there are posters who will forevermore bend over backwards to pick out minor mistake while refusing to even acknowledge any positive.

I find it hard to understand anyone completely dismissing Locadias first half performance, yet I don't have to go far to find such comments.

Still this all now feels very circular.

Roll on 3pm (till 3:45) in 7 days time.

I'm less confident about 4pm onwards.

Do you think Maupay might be purchased to replace him rather than Murray?

Perhaps Big Jurg’s future is as the Murray replacement.....

Face it, if you need to spend nearly a hundred messageboard pages discussing whether a player is shit or not, then there is a strong chance that he's shit.

You must have been because you’d have noticed we didn’t have any attacking intent in the second half of the season....

Fair point. But, then, so is the desperate need for a new striker...

Keen? Yes, if player and price is right.
Desperate? No.

I would say we are very very keen. Like £40m keen.

Why's that? He's talking sense in my opinion.

If he was manager and culled Ali J and Locadia from the squad, cut losses and replaced them in the transfer window I'm sure many of us would have been pleased.

As it is, we're all depending on Potter to somehow extract some semblance of footballing ability out of either of them.

Seems to be working with Locadia to some extent and not so much with Ali J, but as we all know competitive PL matches are a far cry from pre-season friendlies and I remain deeply concerned about relying on either of them.

Are you just going to ignore the fact we are chasing two strikers!?

Now you are just being silly and making things up...

Locadia was underwhelming again last night, sluggish reactions and sloppy lay-offs (part of his game usually always ok).

Just never any consistency with the guy, maddening

I hope he's not The Murray replacement, not much point with wingers putting in crosses then.
Not fit to lace Murray's boots IMO.

How many pages did the Barnes thread(s) get to?..

 

[Knocky's Nose]

Opinion is divided, but I just don't see this alleged talent Locadia has. He just looks outclassed by everyone he comes up against.

The only comparison I can come up with is Jurgen is the poor man's Lukaku. He will score goals but not many people rate him. Locadia WILL score goals but will look half useless most of the time.

Dunno. We bounce it whenever he scores. Which is every other week

 

[zefarelly]

I hope we agree, that neither have been happening, hence the frustrations, and that any goal from open play would be a treat, let alone normality.

This.


Not this.

Barnes is on a different planet to Locadia, ability wise.
