Disagree, he’s been excellent this season. That tackle was a stupid one though, without question. The same people who are saying Cash isn’t as good as people say he is are probably saying Buendia is having a good season. One of our best players, if not our best player this season (McGinn runs him close).

That last bit is the key. Luckily, he’s still quite young-ish (clutching at straws) so maybe he can improve but if he keeps going the way he is, he’ll be out of the side on a permanent basis. With a full squad of players to choose from, he makes the bench, just.

Another poor performance in what is becoming worryingly common. His performances are night and day in comparison to last season. Probably starts for us up top in our best XI, but that’s not saying much atm. He’s having a poor season.

He’s Norwich summed up in a player. Far too good for the championship, not good enough for the PL. Ill keep waiting for him to come good, but I’m really not holding out that much hope. Looks to be a waste of money.

They’re a much better side. We were superb in the first half until the front 3 got involved. We’ll probably lose now but it’s nothing to be ashamed of.

He’s played well

It’s been that day since day 1. I didn’t think they’d play well together but not quite as badly as they have. Zero chemistry

Our front 3 have been poor. I’d move Watkins through the middle and bring on Carney or someone who won’t keep shooting at their defenders or giving the ball away. We’ve been brilliant in defence and midfield

I’d say it’s been fairly even. If we had their quality in the final third we’d be 3/4 up.

Watkins has been poor for most of the season. No surprise he’s played badly, especially in a position he’s been very poor in. Buendia not athletic enough for this level.

This season is all about finishing in a position that makes other players sit up and take note. Make them want to join us because they can see we are ready to challenge for Europe. So many players think their stock is higher than it actually is unfortunately but if they can see you mean business, they’ll be attracted to the project. It’s why West Ham have one chance to get it right over the next two windows. They’re in that position to crack the top 4/6 on a regular basis but to do so, they need to sign genuine quality in Jan or the Summer. And if they lose Rice, well, they’ll be back down in 10th. If we can finish top ten this season, players will want to join us because there are a lot of players in that 6th-10th place category that want to join an ambitious club. Personally, I think we’ll finish 12th, and it makes it that bit harder IMO.

If you know Messi, you know that he doesn't know anything about whether it gets called off or not.

I’m sure it’s been mentioned but to think Biden and Trump were the two best candidates for presidency in a country of 350m is mindblowing. I like Biden as an individual but he’s far too old to be president and Trump is a psychopath. My money is on DeSantis to be next President. Unless Trump persuaded him to run as vice or to step down all together.

What’s the general feeling around restrictions? Personally I don’t think they’re a good idea and I hope we avoid them for a number of reasons.

So it’s just a mild cold then?

Apparently, we're after Aribo from Rangers. (I know, I know).

LB, DM, AML. I imagine those three will be our priorities, probably in that order. I think Gerrard wants a quicker, stronger left back than Targett to improve our attacking threat from that side. A defensive midfielder would be nice but I think Luiz does ok there. Can see us looking in the Summer for that position. The forward player is an interesting one. I think we’ll need to move out a few before that gets done. Trezeguet, El Ghazi, JPB on loan perhaps.

Only McGinn has been better I’d argue. Watkins, lol. Agreed we need elite level fullbacks, but right back is not a position of concern for us at the moment because Cash has been excellent and I’d argue we have a very good back up and a good young player coming through.

Actually, it’s the 28th. It’s from The Times.

From the 27th apparently. No socialising indoors, pubs shut etc,

Another ‘lockdown’, great. I’d be seething if I worked in the hospitality sector. Most people I know won’t follow any rules about not socialising so it’s basically just a lockdown on pubs, restaurants etc. These half measures don’t achieve much. But of course, when cases start to fall, like they always do, it’ll be because of our wonderful government imposing these necessary curbs on our freedom. Fed up.

When is the next leak? They're everso exciting. I still think the best is yet to come

Watkins hasn't been anywhere near as good as Cash. Martinez has had a decent season, as has Konsa. Still probably not at the levels they were last year, mind. McGinn is the only one who you could argue has been as good as Cash this season. Cash has been superb.

Who's been better than him this season?

Our right back is our best player. Why would we spend money there for?
