Walcott the man today. Could have had a blinder.

Think we wont have many days where teams will be able to keep down Richarlson, Tosun and Walcott. At least one to scare them.

Add Bernard into that mix, he's the one I think could be super dangerous.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Between Bernard, Richarlison & Walcott, we're very pacey and prolific up front now.

I sense the feeling that Tosun may end up being a bust (I hope not as I love the turk), imagine Lukaku running around with the lot above...

If Tosun doesn't fire this season, I'd elect to move on Niasse and spend big on a striker for next season and run New ST/Tosun/DCL, in that order of preference for the starting spot.

Happy to win, but the players took a beating from a Hughes led side. May as well rename them Stoke

Remember when he was at Man City? Lol

4 points from 2 games is good business

Especially with a new style being implemented by a new manager, Pickford having no real pre-season with the club and a couple new signings in the mix (plus more to come)

Will be interesting to see how the next couple of months pan out, with all the new signings expected to be match-fit, training and taking their spots in the starting XI

Also, much to the Marchisio link?

Surely the WC counts as a preseason?

Yes, but he missed out on one with the club as a result

WC experience would be invaluable for the lad, but he's missed out on building a chemistry with the new team re: structure. Most of the faces are the same atm, but structurally and chemistry-wise we are a different beast and Pickford has missed out being apart of that while being thrown back in to the thick of it as our no. 1 stopper.

 

[Bradesmaen]

I wish we had RLC, hes been dropped from the Chelsea squad.. poor kid

Also Hughes said Pickford should have seen red lol.

Just seen highlights and it's still... defensively ordinary.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Bolasie on loan to Thrilla. Thank **** for that. What a shit buy that was from Koeman and Walsh.

The thing is, everyone new at the time Bolasie was a flawed player worth a third of what we paid.

Koeman and Walsh were a disaster.

I reckon the new stadium at Bramley Moore dock will look great with the Dixie statue next to the one of Marcel Brands

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Messy, don’t look on and they’ve got a good intensity. Think we should move them around a bit and stop trying to force the action so much.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

2 red cards in 3 games to start the season.

Apparently letter of the law the decision was right but, bloody hell, you won't see many softer red cards than that one.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Absolutely pathetic.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Frustrating, would have taken 1 point when we went down a man but to be 2-0 up with a level playing field.

Something about Bournemouth and them scoring late goals against us that just continues to happen.

Still undefeated but when I saw the schedule at the beginning of the season, I have Wolves & Bournemouth as wins and only 2/6 points from those two fixtures is not good.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Hope it wasn’t directive to sit back after the second.

Bernard looked good, CL looks to have lost a bit of work rate, not sure he survives beyond this season.

 

[ossie_21]

Would have 9pts out of 9 if we could keep 11 on the pitch

 

[Bradesmaen]

Defending from set pieces is a shambles. Goal against Southampton and now against Bournemouth come from set pieces.

 

[ossie_21]

Have to say as well, Baines is cooked. Loved him for years, but he just doesn’t have the legs any more & hardly ventured forward. Seems to pace himself to get through 90mins now.

I thought the penalty was very soft as that type of contact always happens, but it just wasn’t needed in the situation. Wasn’t going to score & it was going to be 2 on 1. Much like the Wolves game, we were on track for a good win until a silly mistake

 

[Bradesmaen]

Keane out for 4 weeks at least.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Time for the Mina/Zouma combo that everyone wanted.

Bernard instead of Richarlison as well now. Goes to show that our transfers have us covered in terms of injuries already.

 

[Teagueeee15]

Keane out for 4 weeks at least.

It’s going to be hard to build stability at the back with all of the chopping and changing.

Zouma and Holgate for the next few games I’m guessing, as Mina is out for a month as well.

I don’t think we will go back to Jagielka unless we really have to.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Shame for Keane as he's started the season pretty well. Glad that he's okay, though.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Lookman not even in the squad against Rotherham let alone starting.
