  1. They have some very capable players. Madueke and Palmer can hurt us and Gallagher, Caicedo and Fernandez are a decent unit in the middle. They look weak at the back, that’s where we need to hurt them. Is it too much to ask for a first half similar to the one we put up against Newcastle at home where we beat them 3-0? Just blow them away inside of 15 mins. Like I say, weak at the back and mentally very fragile. If we can take a 2 goal lead, it could be 3-4 easily. Score early and we win.
  2. Could do with Caicedo going into the book
  3. I do wonder if we’ll look at the Championship again. If so, who?
  4. No surprises really. Why would he want to leave?
  5. Stinks of a West Ham signing (if they keep Moyes), Palace, Forest, Bournemouth, even Wolves. He would likely improve all and he wouldn't cost a fortune...£15m-20m? I think we'll be in the market for two new fullbacks this Summer and I'll be surprised if Digne and Cash are here in August.
  6. Hmmm. Again, not sure I agree. Tielemans, Luiz and Kamara, one could argue, are quite similar. All very good players who are comfortable on the ball and very quick to see a pass that can hurt the opposition. All three also seem unfazed when being pressed. McGinn, for me, is different. He's the only one who can really use his body as a weapon, he charges around flying into tackles and he brings an energy the others don't. Again, I'm not commenting on who is the best player of the 4 in question or even who is better than who, I just feel McGinn brings something our team needs and perhaps we lack when he's not on the pitch. Put it this way, I think we'll really miss McGinn when he's gone and we may not realise just how good of a player he really is.
  7. Ramsey, Rogers and Bailey behind Watkins is certainly… powerful.
  8. I respectfully disagree. McGinn brings us so much. He’s different to Tielemans, Kamara and Luiz. He has bite, desire, energy and leadership. Whether he plays on the left, right or in the middle, we’re a much better team with McGinn in it. Martinez, Konsa, Watkins and McGinn are vital to us in every match.
  9. He’s the first name on the team sheet.
  10. Agreed. A starting right back allows the young lad to be back up but if said new RB gets injured, we just push Konsa over.
  11. His first thought is always, how do I turn and run at you. He’s a defenders nightmare because if he spins you, you’re done. Can’t get the ball off him. Too strong, too quick. Usually, that doesn’t also come with the ability to pick a pass. The weight of his pass is often very good too. I really like him.
  12. Not sure why Rogers is brought up in any conversation around Ramsey. Tell you what might be good, playing them both in the same team. Both have roles to play, either together or complimenting each other in a very competitive squad.
  13. Correct. Him and Watkins can not be sold because they cannot be replaced IMO.
  14. Ederson is fantastic with the ball at his feet but bang average at actually saving attempts on his goal. Allison is better than Ederson. Martinez is clear of both. Both sets of fans will tell you their keeper is the best but I subscribe to the opinion that even though I don't watch all that much of City/Liverpool, there simply can't be anyone better than Martinez. He's the best. At everything. We should cherish him because we're never seeing his like again at VP.
  15. Tough draw for Leverkusen. If I was a betting man, I’d say PSG and Real could win all 4 matches against the German clubs. Leverkusen are solid but you never know. The coefficient is alive god damn it! I still subscribe to the belief that we’ll be 5th come the UECL final and we’ll need to win it to get into the CL. It’s just too perfect not to happen.
  16. He’s been a poor signing to date.
  17. Scary how good he is. I’ve already accepted there won’t be a better keeper at the club in my lifetime. He’s just absolutely a legend. Build the statue.
  18. Currently living off the fact Bailey came good. If we took that away, he’d be a right f****** waste of money. Needs to do a LOT more.
