Sick of this manager claiming he took over a 17th placed squad who fluke CL football

If it was a fluke and we didn't plan it and tried in the PL we'd have finished 10th which he has regressed on. If ange had fit CB pairing and Kudus he'd have us top 6 for sure

And Paulhinha and Simons and an extra pre season into Gray and Bergvall

 

[hawkman]

Danso looks so out of his depth against Mateta

Can't see him surviving without taking a 2nd yellow before this is done

 

[hawkman]

Haha so undeserved

 

[omgfridge]

can't say i've felt very inspired but great to see how happy Archie Gray is with that

 

[omgfridge]

2 disallowed richo goals

 

[hawkman]

Odobert has been our best despite only being on for 30 mins

Awful for the first 70, had more control and chances in the last 20

 

[jd2010]

Plucked a set piece away win. A Thomas Frank special

 

[omgfridge]

My boy Djed Spence been superb lately

 

[Yoda_]

for anyone who watched the 90, can I please have some brief summations on;

Team selection

fwd build up play

Muani

Danso / Ragusin

Simons

Grey

Tactics if you can identify any



k,thx

My boy Djed Spence been superb lately

He gave away the ball lazily 3 or 4 times tonight in terrible areas. Got better in the 2nd half

There was barely any build up play for most of the game. A few drives down the wings from Spence, Kudus and Odobert late was about it

Muani not great but we struggled to move the ball into forwards areas to give him a chance. Was important for the goal though. Won it and then the back header across goal to help set it up

Danso - League 1 quality 1st half, good 2nd half.
Dragusin - late cameo, didn't really do anything of note or look out of place

Simons - unsighted probably because he is suspended

Grey part of a midfield that struggled in the 1st half to have any control. Had more impact with a few nice moments once he was pushed further forward after Bergvall went off

Tactics - not sure there were any for the first 70 apart from hoping from a set piece. That first 40 minutes was as bad as any this year. Once it opened up, use the spaces down the wings

id forgotten about Simons suspension, thanks for feedback

I just want us to not be shit. I know we won Europa last year but it was a wild ride like we would slip up at any chance we got.

Consistency in effort, beat the (shit) teams we should and be competitive and snag wins against the quality teams.



I miss that Poch era. Was so much fun, enjoyable, competitive and best of all, you knew players were willing to do what was needed. Grind a win at Stoke on a cold wet Tuesday night? sure. Win away at Old Trafford, not a problem. Now? it seems like whatever win we get is a fluke. It should be any loss we suffer is a fluke.

 

[roospur]

Wharton whilst not totally on it today is exactly what we're missing more than anything. He had twice as many progressive passes than our midfield 3 did in total. Muani on the left isn't working, he was awful besides the build up for the goal. Odebert's cameo was excellent and was good to see Radu back. Was a good result but a hard watch. 4 points off the blue scum in 5th is wild considering how insipid we've been. The Lewis kids need to pony up in January, hard to see any genuine elite talents coming though sadly.

 

[jd2010]

Wants to shit on our Europa win yet his former club are going how?

 

[Yoda_]

Bit of news from Ali Gold on January transfer news;

A LB seems to be a priority

A St will be looked at, apparently Samu Aghehowa is one we're looking at.

Players may be allowed to depart if the price is right (looks at Brennan, Radu)

Seems midfield will be a priority but acknowledge January will be difficult to bolster with quality

Thoughts on Leon Goretzka for the rumoured £15m?

Terrible, terrible short term business to take the side up to what 9th?
Including Paulhinha Frank's gonna build a midfield that will never achieve anything and will have to be replaced again soon

top player who would walk into our XI and be our best midfielder.


Going all FIFA mode, you have an established star (Goretzka) and then either, a depth player (Sarr) and a youngster to develop for the future (Bergval).

That looks (Goretzka, Sarr, Bergval) much better than current (Sarr, Biss, Bergval)

Not a top player anymore. Has 4 goals in his last 40 or so games. He's basically got one or two maybe decent seasons left then he's cooked. I think it's a terrible investment and it takes even more minutes off Gray, Bergvall or Sarr

 

[jd2010]

Can he pass the ball forwards?

Can he receive a ball under pressure and turn?

If yes to both, sign him.

Make sure he takes Bentancur mins and not Gray

No and no.
Goretza is a box to box crashing mid. He's not a DLP he needs to be paired with a passer.

Sounds like Florentina are going with a loan - to - buy for Manor Solomon as we recall him from Villareal

Recalling Jamie Donley (Stoke) and Damola Ayayi (Doncaster) with Jamie looking for more minutes and Damola looking for a bigger club. Jamie had a great loan spell at Stoke last season, did he not?


With our 'outs' now looking like;

Brennan Johnson, Manor Solomon

'Ins'

-

Who would you even like us to bring in?

He'd fit in well with our group and not improve us one bit then. Pass

Wharton. Wharton. Wharton

And yeah Donley not getting mins after a good loan. Stoke doing well but are stocked in his 9/10 spot. Would like him to go abroad tbh
