So why the f*ck did we recall him? Even before Reina we had Nyland and Kalinic. Now we have Reina, Nyland, Sarkic, and Steer is due back soon. Ruining his career with our stupid decisions. 

Yea but why not Mings-Engels-Konsa?

Hause is really poor with the ball, and clearly not suited to play any type of passing style. Mings and Konsa on the other hand are very comfortable with the ball at their feet, and Mings especially can pick a pass. With Mings in the middle, he is forced to stay back more. 

He is very underrated. We always look better when Guilbert plays. 

That Lev Parnas interview with maddow was pretty crazy. Parnas was their fixer, and he was going around Ukraine doing all the dirty work. Pretty damning evidence that Parnas says via whatsapp investigate Biden, or else Pence doesn't come to the inauguration, and then when they blocked Parnas, Pence cancelled his flight to the Ukraine. 

Also that guy threatening to take the US ambassador to Ukraine...wtf. Seriously how is Trump still in charge? I feel like there is so much damning evidence against him. 

Really hoping we can have a striker in by saturday. Otherwise, this is what I think we have to field. I don't see us selling Kodjia before Saturday, and there is no way he will still be "sick". Gotta play him.

Still think we need to be asking about Morelos

Numerous photos of the plane crash make it look like there are bullet holes littered on the engine. I mean it could be a weird occurrence, but it looks like the plane was shot at.

Wonder why he left? Euros around the corner and he was still playing for Ireland. 

If he chimes in this season with a few goals or assists, then he was worth it. His contribution against Everton imo already justified his purchase. He is a veteran player with really good vision. If we play a team that will bunker against us, he is a fantastic option. That is why he has been so good in the cup.

He played on the left on the weekend and was garbage but point taken he in general looks better on the left. Didn't he come on against Everton on the left and score?

He actually hasn't play left wing in the league since september, but yea against Fulham he played there and was pretty underwhelming, but so was the rest of the team. 

Unfortunately if we are going to play the 3-4-3, El Ghazi will have to figure out how to play right wing. 

Just wanna say he is being played out of position this season. When we first signed him, El Ghazi was pretty meh because he was playing right wing. When he got moved to left wing, he looked more comfortable. Even this season in the few matches he played LW, he looked like an actual winger. El Ghazi just doesn't seem comfortable on the right. On the left he regularly attacks the full back and has the ability to use either foot when cutting in. 

Unfortunately that is where jack has been playing though. 

3-4-3 but put Targett in for Taylor, and Conor for Nakamba. Rest keep the same.

79 caps and a current starter for the 6th best International team in the world (according to FIFA rankings). 
 

I think he would be an improvement on what we currently have. 

Doesn't mean much. Kalinic started for them, and defense is Croatia's biggest issue. I'd still take him, but I don't think he is good enough to be a starter for us at the moment.

With Chelsea having their transfer ban lifted, and presumably bringing in a striker to compete with Tammy, I'd 100% be making an approach to loan Giroud. He'll want to make sure he's in the France squad for Euros.

Would rather have us take in Batshuayi. He only has a 1.5 years left on his deal, and chelsea will be trying to sell this summer. Batshuayi also will need to showcase himself somewhere to earn a move, so win win for us. If he works out, we can sign him in the summer. 

He is a crazy player. Absolute warrior on the pitch, but he isn't that great. He'd at least be a good player to have in the championship, and he can play right back too. 6 million seems a bit too much though.

Good player but incredibly overhyped by some. 

No idea why

1 in 3 goal scorer as a winger is very good. He also picks up assists pretty consistently as well. Very good well rounded player. Not many wingers in the world can do what Son does as consistently. 

Won't he miss 4-6 matches if we allow him to go to the Olympics? I'm sorry we are no where near a position where we can do that. Luiz and Nakamba have been switching out starting roles depending on who we play. We can't just go with Nakamba for that month. 

I'm hoping we use a lot of our first team guys. We are lacking confidence and I think starting Wesley, Trez, El Ghazi, Conor, Luiz, Konsa, Elmo, and Chester would be smart. 

I'd even like to get Jack out there. 

Vida is a warrior of a player, but won't cut it in the premier league. 

He is already worth what we paid for him imo. He completely changed our team when he was brought into the starting XI. 

I think he is a good fullback. You can tell Jack loves playing with him. Targett constantly overlaps which lets jack has 1v1s.

21 year old who has had some up and down matches for us. I think Dean is utilizing Luiz mostly correctly. Against the lower teams where we will have position especially at home is where Luiz flourishes. Those are the matches I want him starting. Tougher matches were we won't see the ball as often is prime Nakamba time. 

I think he will be a good player.

He was superb against Everton, he honestly was. Benteke would have been proud of that performance. It's the only reason I still have some faint hope he'll eventually come good. He absolutely dominated that game and the 2 Everton CBs that night.

I am not trying to discredit that game, but that was honestly the worst football I have ever seen Everton play. Gomes was on another level of ineptitude. We could have doubled our score easily. 

El Ghazi-Batshuayi-Bowen

jack-Luiz-McGinn

That is a pretty decent 6.
