  1. Against Everton. Everton are shit. Overall, Watkins is clearly a better player than Archer right now.
  2. Cup win and top half finish is a definite possibility though and wouldn't be a bad season at all. Would love top 4 but it's games like this that show we're not quite there. Ideally we get top 6 and a cup win, but one or the other would still be a successful season. No way are we battling relegation - that's just not going to happen.
  3. Who are we realistically bringing in though? I don't think we can attract an upgrade on Watkins just yet, and we're not getting anyone at his level to play backup. Yes Archer knows where the goal is but he's going to be a downgrade whenever he's on the pitch over Watkins, so it makes sense to take a good fee for him with the buy-back option in case he does look like that player in future (or if we can turn further profit). I find Watkins really frustrating at times but he's still easily our best striker and I can't see who we could attract as a ready-made upgrade.
  4. Archer is not the level of striker for where we're hoping to be right now.
  5. Diaby, Douglas Luiz and Konsa have been good. Everyone else below par to varying degrees.
  6. Watkins is a very good striker, but not top level. Ideally we'd get decent money for him and sign an upgrade, but I don't imagine that's possible for us.
  7. Yes we should just nip this rumour in the bud.
  8. Really poor from Pau, that. He looks class moving forward and good at reading the game, but one v one / getting turned is a real concern.
  9. Yeah, can't believe the fans are selling him.
  10. I like Ollie but he was poor today. Struggles against physicality.
  11. Commentator having a shocker. Seems to think a Colombian Calum Chambers is coming on.
  12. We should be aiming to return to positive goal difference here.
  13. The only player I'd say is struggling is Watkins against very physical centre backs. Everyone else good at far but against poor opposition. McGinn and Digne particularly impressive. Pau looks classy but obviously under very little pressure so far.
  14. He seems to be enjoying linking up with Diaby.
  15. Nice that we're not just swinging the ball in when there's space to do so - players' decision making looks good.
