  1. I think it’s more of not many players have been bought in his position anyway, so not many better or worse.
  2. Is he registered with us in Europe?
  3. They don’t get 6 teams if it was like before. But qualifying through Europe doesn’t get considered as a team coming from the same league. I think 6 would be the most teams that could play in one season. So basically if Brighton and Utd won both competitions and not get top 5, only top 4 will go to CL. But the other question is, which positions takes you to Europa and conference? Only one team in Europa and another in the Conference?
  4. Glad to hear that. Hopefully he’s on bench Sunday.
  5. To be honest we need to root for all 3 Europa teams so they don’t get to our competition. I’m worried about Brighton coming. So hopefully the all qualify. Then regarding CL I don’t think any of them can win it realistically apart from City. Again I guess all of the qualifying would make them focusing on both which can affect their league performances (such as us). Newcastle going to Europa isn’t ideal as they’ll have a big chance winning it. I guess supporting those English clubs would benefit us even if there was no 5th CL spot. Yesterday I watched Brighton and kept cheering for them.
  6. When do we expect him to get back from injury? I think we really need him soon, hopefully he can play with us here and there until January then we see wether to loan or keep him.
  7. But we don’t want rushing him before the break (well he have to go to France during that time). Atleast having him on bench will give us more confidence that if needed he can play and that he’s getting better and no need to worry.
  8. With our injuries I think he’ll feature against Wolves. We don’t have cup games until January so I expect him to have some minutes.
  9. I wasn’t impressed by his signing, but I understand it. You can’t spend much on a player that you know will be a squad player. I don’t think Emery preferred him but he was free, with big experience and we need more reliable squad players. I don’t think he’s as bad as we think, but he’s definitely not Luiz quality so people don’t have to compare them. I hope he improves soon as we need everyone, all games are important that we can’t rest our starters which we have to.
  10. I think he’ll be important in our run right now. Hopefully we score first and early each game beginning against Wolves, but when teams set back we’ll need Bert. A game like yesterday.
  11. As much as we’ve not been recruiting well as some think, but McGinn was an absolute bargain. Helped us promoting, then staying up then going to Europe and hopefully more this year. We’ve doubted him at times (mainly because of Gerrard) but he proved us wrong. going back to the recruitment, I don’t think it was bad as some say, even some bad signings had their moments. But to have McGinn and Mings in the Championship to be proper first teamers to take us to Europe? Then you add Luiz and Konsa from alour survival year, and now they are our main players?
  12. Fair play to Emery our aim and opinion on him has been higher. but we’ve lost 4, 3 aways and one at home.
  13. Interesting to see what Emery might do against Wolves. Huge game, followed by a rest (usually we fail against Wolves and we usually fail before breaks). Winning against Wolves will be great mentally and also will benefit our league position for sure. With the break hopefully more players are ready, so we can rotate a bit more.
  14. He’s done really well and his confidence seems growing. I think Emery should really consider playing him left side especially in games like this. He beat couple of defenders at once. I understand his last touch wasn’t good but we know he’s a good finisher and that never been the issue. His issue was not keeping the ball and unsuccessful dribbles which is his main attribute.
  15. I think against teams when they defend like this, he should play atleast last 20 minutes. I think it’s good to have him before next run of games. He can help unlocking defence.
  16. I think Newcastle winning is important for us, better for them and Utd to qualify than go to Europa League (which they can win). It might affect their league games as well. So we can get points for the 5th place and it affects their league position. Same with Brighton and Liverpool.
  17. Reminds me of Grealish, used to play CM and LM, but ended up as a proper left winger. The best of Ramsey can come when he’s more advanced and not worried about what’s happening behind (well as much as Ollie and Diaby. He gets limited once he’s playing CM. Finding spaces and taking it forward is his best attribute.
  18. What impresses right now is him being as an experienced player, I remember his first game against Wolves away I guess (our only win against them) I watched it with La Liverpool friend I remember telling him his best this getting the ball further, then he kept getting minutes and near to score. I used to argue here that usually being near scoring is as good as scoring (apart from confidence) it shows you that a player such Ramsey knows how to attack the goal, he didn’t score that season but he was near. Then Gerrard used him as a third CM which didn’t give him much freedom although still contributing. However Emery played him in his best position, similar to Grealish. I’m not sure if he’s ready to start yet but we really need him, I think we’ve really missed his contribution with Moreno (not that I’m not happy with Dinge improved performances).
  19. Key here is to keep looking up and take the opportunity when it comes, now we should think only of Mostar, finish that and then think of Wolves, with a hope of win and also good circumstances to make us second (with a point to 1st). Then go to the break and again think of West Ham to end our record against them and hope to get 1st that week. What I hate is looking at 5 games and start seeing what’s possible or not, just take it game by game and see where it takes us to. I’m more confident with Ramsey back. Hopefully Moreno as well, he’ll be important against teams that defend.
  20. I think they can, because currently 5 can play. As we see as well this season 8 teams are in Europe (in another circumstances it could go to 9), but another question, would that mean only one to each Europa and Conference? Or 8th can qualify?
  21. To be honest that’s a very good sign. Winning while having these issues, improving yet keeping our heads down. Getting lessons but in games we’re expected to lose anyway. If we managed to win next Thursday then progress even our loss in Poland could be a good thing to make us know our issues and make us more humble. Whenever our players or fans start thinking more they remember what happened in Newcastle and Liverpool to take it seriously. Same with Warsaw. Competetions isn’t only one match, winnig with big result is another 3 points but how to get them consistently. Hopefully we can be second before going to the break. It would give us a lift yet I’m sure Emery will make sure everyone is humble again.
  22. We’ve conceded 8 in 2 games at home before our streak. 11 goals and 3 losses in 3. Hopefully with Emery we’re learning more and more from every failure. Tough and important games coming up. We need results as well as improvement in our approach (which we seem to be getting there).
  23. Can’t say I’m not worried our away form. So draw at Brentford (tough by then) then two losses at Utd and Wolves, draw at Anfield then two big losses this season (with Warsaw). It’s worrying mainly our way of playing. I think we need to be more conservative out there.
  24. Interesting to see what team he will put against Everton. More importantly Defence and fullbacks? Will he play Chambers as a RB again? Lenglet will definitely start but who else?
  25. One of them right the other second striker. For now would keep Diaby up but later could do some changes.
