  1. I'm feeling good about today. Believe we can get a result.
  2. We were drooling over Barkley after his first few matches too.
  3. Perfect for the squad. Would love to have a foursome of Konsa, Tuanzebe, Mings and Hause for another two years with Bogarde replacing one of them when he is ready to step up.
  4. Thought we played really well. Buedia just does not look comfortable in the middle. Think he really needs to be on the wing.
  5. Read that injury record is a key criteria in our recruitment. So we are really having rotten luck.
  6. Thought he had a really good half. He was holding his head and the physios did not touch his body, so maybe a head-knock?
  7. This is a good balance of fielding a strong side and giving minutes to players who need it.
  8. Can you substitute like that after the penalty kick has been awarded? We should bring on El Ghazi anytime we have a PK late in the second half.
  9. I don't feel we have the wingbacks to play a 3-5-2 on a regular basis. Save it for the odd game. Needs to be 4-3-3 with a rotation of Ings, Watkins, Bailey and Traore up front. Smith needs to manage playing time delicately.
  10. If we acquired Smith-Rowe and he played like this in his first 5 matches, we would all be saying it was 30M well spent!
  11. Looking forward to seeing Sanson. Hope his omission from the Everton game was not injury related and Smith knowing he was going to start on Wednesday.
  12. Not worth getting too invested in any one player in the Academy, as youth development is unpredictable. JPB and Archer were hardly talked about even up until a few weeks back.
  13. Pete's honorable mentions are starting to annoy me . Just stick with the three (holy trinity) points.
  14. so far his play is much improved from last season, but still feel he misses on a lot of fairly easy passes.
  15. We look like a proper side. Really enjoyed that half.
  16. Needs to be the answer to McGinn
  17. Unfortunately we are in transfer market purgatory where the players we need to bring in to challenge for Europe will command top dollar and the ones we want to move on - there is hardly a market for. Let's take Traore as an example. He bought him for around GBP 17M including add-ons. Based on last season (7 goals, 6 assists) he should probably be worth 25-30M now, but which club would potentially pay that much for him? He is not good enough for the Greedy 6 and the rest could not really afford him. I feel this will become a reality to our management in the next few windows and we will focus much more on promoting the Academy players and scouting for players with high upside like Konsa.
  18. With the likes of Young and Barry, he's really gone under the radar until now. Looks to be ready to be our 3rd choice striker.
  19. Great window in my book and I trust the club management. Last transfer window fans were clamoring for us to sign Brakley permanently and to buyout Luiz's ManCity buyback clause.
  20. Yeah. They even have the wrong number for Sanson and I don't see Patterson listed despite a few appearances for the U23s.
