  1. This performance is it. Cannot defend set pieces. Cannot deal with direct long balls. Cannot figure out the midfield. All of that is coaching. It is clear he is not up to the job.
  2. Reads like Percy knows something.
  3. Bringing on Davis as his last act as manager would be poetic.
  4. Two England internationals (probably should be 4 with Konsa and Cash) Two Argentina internationals One Brazil international A player who plays like a star for Scotland An electric talent in Bailey A consistent PL goal scorer One of the best groups of youth talent in Europe ”iTs thE pLaYeRs”
  5. “It’s the players” we continue to say after having one of the highest net spends in Europe over the last three years. Talent consistently underperforming boils down to one thing.
  6. I am very worried Buendia can’t play at this level. It seemed like he had turned a corner against Wolves, but he has stood out as bad in a team that is doing nothing.
  7. The energy and pressing has been so impressive. Unlucky to not have a goal.
  8. I don't think Smith is the man for the job and have been out on him for quite some time, but I am not that worried about this start. Our main issue so far has been creating scoring opportunities, and there is real reason to suspect that will not be an issue when Watkins and Bailey are back. We saw what kind of impact Bailey can have in his cameo against Watford, and we looked much more dangerous once Watkins came on yesterday -- maybe Smith could have made the change earlier, but complaining about that is like yelling into a brick wall. It is not going to change. I would like someone more creative and proactive, but I think Smith once again has the attacking players to keep us near the European places when everyone is healthy, and that means he is going to stick around.
  9. Good point today given the circumstances, but 4 from that first 3 is disappointing.
  10. Imagine if we hadn't spent the first half not knowing how to contain Sarr.
  11. If I am looking for positives, Bailey looks good and having he and Watkins up front will make a big difference. Also, I think replacing Marvelous with even Luiz would be an upgrade. That said, I still do not see how our best four attacking players can play together and still have a solid midfield, and I do not trust Dean Smith to figure it out.
  12. Who are we supposed to buy from if Brentford are promoted?
  13. 1.65 PPG with Jack this season, which would have put us above Spurs. I hope that plus promises of new additions keep Jack around. I do worry Southgate will **** us by not picking him for the Euros.
  14. That is the best performance we have had without Jack. Really impressive.
  15. Davis shows so much skill and quick feet 40 yards from goal. No idea what happens in his head in the box.
  16. That header followed by a cool finish. The full Trezeguet experience.
  17. They are going to make me dream all season, aren't they?
  18. Get Barry in the first team and call it a day.
