Had Burn in his pocket all day, great performance.

I've been worried the last couple of weeks that the squad was getting thin, with Coutinho, Kamara (re-injured) and Cash succumbing to injuries, but Dendoncker was able to come into the side and do a job. Credit to the player.

I had exactly the same view, he's starting to look like the player we thought he could be for the club, but there were 2-3 moments during the game where he was knocked off the ball to easily. Not sure whether a technical or mental issue but he needs to work on it.

I thought that was one of McGinn’s best performances for the club today, it’s amazing what good coaching can do for a player.

I believe there's a good player there, but just doesn't suit Emery's tactical plan.

Can you point me in the direction where I bagged him…? My mind hasn’t been changed.

I read this thought it was a load of BS. It’s just his lawyers and him trying to put pressure on the FA to reduce what will most likely be 6 months out. I read the article and compared it to previous bans and came up with @6months myself. The media has done the same, no fantasy stories of leaks as Toney and his legal reps are alleging. Toney is just trying to make BS up about the media to get the FA to go soft, not like the FA haven’t been soft before….

Always has been free. They changed their mind on going to patreon.

For me the context of Emery’s conversation with the reporter after the match has been lost. He was asked by the reporter wasn’t him bringing it up to throw Martinez under the bus. He said he didn’t tell Martiniz to go forward or never asked a keeper to go forward becuase of the stats involved. Then went on about not being happy with the team performance. Maybe there’s other interviews I haven’t seen, but IMO he just didn’t feel it was necessary and in line with a few players making decisions during the game that don’t reflect his game plan. As much as I love Emi, if someone wants to throw silly money at the club to sign him and Emery gets GK that suits his style of play, bye Emi, especially if he wants CL football.

It was refreshing to see Emery call out the team that it wasn’t good enough. It sends a loud message to the players to say it publicly, they are all on notice that they need to improve. Unless things improve, and I think they will, but if they don’t, it may be a bigger clear out than we all thought it may of been.

I don’t want to see Martinez go, but when you see comments attributed to him regarding wanting to play CL football and Emery wanting a keeper who can play with his feet, it’s not rocket science. Emery is the boss and if he believes another keeper can carry out his game plan better and manage the defence as well, then I can see a scenario where we cash in on Martinez, make a huge profit and reinvest in the squad.

Don't believe Mings can be targetted for yesterday, the whole defensive unit was at fault and didnt adapt to Leicester's tactics.

He was targeted yesterday by Leicester, they knew he is often the release ball when under pressure at the back and they had a player onto him straight away. If he had of moved the ball quicker, then two of the goals don't happen. Not entirely his fault, but we need to be smarter to beat these traps.

I don’t agree with that at all, it’s a fallacy. You can spend money and not improve the team, we’re trying to improve the team, sometimes we just need to be patient.

It was quite obvious the club wanted Guendouzi (club wouldn’t let him go from reports) and Williams (didn’t want to move, at least in this window). We can go back for both and hopefully have the deals done in the summer, with a new CB and Stiker. Our best football is still ahead of us.

You and me both my friend.

Personally I’d rather we bring in the right player in the summer than sign someone who doesn’t make the squad better. I expect one of two through the doors today, but I could be wrong.

His story isn’t over quite yet..

There were rumours about Sanson the previous window before we bought him in.

West Spam relegated.

The way I read the post is that they will be talking about Guendouzi in the transfer talk, not an ITK post.

To be honest, I’d forgotten he was at the club… Hopefully gets an opportunity back at Southampton.

To me it seems obvious the club is trying to clear the decks for a couple of players. We now have two weeks to get these players in before our next game and get them up to speed. I’d be surprised if we don’t see them in before Friday.

Also doesn’t help that most of the PL teams are propped up by billionairre’s. Chelski, Man City have created the hyper inflation of the transfer market and wages over the last 20 years.

You will find her role will be around pre, in game and post game nutrition. When a player comes off during a game, giving them food to start the recovery process, hydration and electrolyte maintenance during game etc. testing etc
