Watkins moves on for decent money and Emerys grand plan for Rogers is revealed. But seriously - his work with his back to goal/on the turn is very good.

Really want to see this guy smiling and having a good time again. Due for a return to form.

People have been complaining about this area of the club for years. I am going to wait this out and see how it shakes out over the next 6 months to make a judgement call. Underperforming aspects of any business usually go through a painful period of change which can be/look messy.

See it has become the opposite. He has been talking up our chances of top 4 and how great the season is going despite our dip in form. Most people don't like him because despite his faults he is actually quite level headed and has enough connections in the game to get an accurate read on things. His lack of emotional investment and getting carried away puts people off. Bardell is similar (level headed most of the time) but does have the emotional investment obviously. If we lose a game its easier to listen to 1874 then to come on this forum IMO.

I am a professional believe it or not. He is an obsessional neurotic not neurodivergent (and I would argue a lot of neurodivergent diagnosis nowadays are neuroticism rather than "true" autism for example [but thats not for this forum]). If you know who Zizek is then it will make sense that he is quite similar. Unai forever - Bayern never.

Your post was passive aggressive. Mine was direct. But as always things get misunderstood online - my apologies.

Absolutely. The best by far.

I quite like Bardell and Evans and think their takes are reasonable if not overly informative.

Emi has a better view of the whole situation as Lenglet is running toward goal with no vision of what is behind him. Thats why balls in behind and "turning the defender" is so dangerous. Its Emi's box and his responsibility. Completely disagree. The only thing Lenglet should have done better is shield the attacker from getting to the ball. He makes a poor effort at it.

We will lose games we expect to win and vice versa. Buckle up. I was encouraged that some of the grit from the end of last season returned in seeing out the Fulham game (mostly McGinn and his arse).

So Emi says its his fault but somehow you are trying to blame Lenglet? It was a communication issue. I was surprised at how much more comfortable he seemed to be in the middle/right of the backline. Seemed more assured with his passing too. Maybe the Pau effect?

Crikey, how do expect a player to stay fit while out for 4 games with a calf injury? The mind boggles. These are his minutes since returning - 26 (Everton) , 63 (Newcastle) , 81 (Sheffield United), 17 (Man United), and 90 (Fulham) So its actually just over 3 games worth of minutes since returning. Do better.

We know from his time at Leicester and earlier this season that he needs game time to get up to speed. He is building that right now and we should see more fitness and less wayward passing as he progresses.

I like the look of this lad. Hard not to see him doing well in the Kamara role even though he apparently offers quite a lot higher up the pitch.

He isn't in the plans. Not sure why this is weird.
