Correct about Ings saw he was injured already for West Ham on Monday night as not in squad although I thought he’d be cup tied anyway as he was captain when we lost to Stevenage. Yes disappointed not to replace him but as you suggest he will be more prone to injury at his age, Watkins is rarely injured, we could of kept Archer but he hardly took any opportunities given to him. it’s a risk but obviously a considered risk by the club.

You think having our highest earning and a brand new left back isn’t enough? No chance.

Ok makes sense. Thanks. Might be useful to keep JWP quiet.
-
Is he only banned for one game? Says in fantasy football he’s back from suspension for our next game but I thought a straight red was 3 games?
-
His game management really doesn’t bother me, he knows where the line is, other players have done it to us for years. Looked like a player with full confidence and it resonated to the back 4 and rest of the team. Feel like making him captain was the final piece of the jigsaw for him. Love him. Best keeper we’ve had since the 90’s
-
He’s not going to set the world alight at his age, (sorry Danny your thinning hair is showing now too) but he’s a proven PL player he would comfortably get 20 goals a season if he started every game, he’s a natural goal scorer, like Bamford yesterday he just needs one half opportunity and he’d score. He’s not going to run down lost causes like Watkins but he definitely has a role to play. Would not sell esp to another PL team.
-
I think all those players can be good enough, there all proven PL players, with some coaching there’s no reason too think they can’t, look at Newcastle for example, you don’t have to have a complete squad overhaul that would do more damage than good imo. I think Luiz is a class player, and will improve further, my only wish is he gets better at not giving away cheap fouls, because most his fouls are border line but go against them he needs to learn to disguise them better.

Tbf Neville getting stuck but he normally doesn’t speak badly about us so I’m not going to go in on him. MOTM could be either Martinez, Young, Kamara, Bailey even the new kid saved a goal (just)… we were out played and over ran. Yes we rode our luck and yes we take the p**s wasting time but other teams have done that against us for years. I‘m more than happy to get some luck and give some steel back to other teams. id even say the ref was ok today and we probably got a few more decisions for once. have a good weekend Villians.
-
Could be boubacar, Martinez, or young to be fair. We need 3 or 4 players to have outstanding games every game, normally it’s one or two. That’s how you win games.
-
I mean if Gerrard gave us nothing else we need to be thankful for him. What a player we have on our hands… and for free

Goes in the Balaban, Djemba Djemba and Salifou category.

I mean a derby against Wolves is never going to be an easy game, we played bad and we still got a point, a couple of decisions that normally go against us haven’t gone against them, and we could of snatched it at the end. I think a mentality issue is a bit strong when we’ve beaten so good teams of late including Man U and spuds. It’s a hard league we’re improving lots after a bad year with Gerrard.

Never understood the fans hype. Literally I don’t think I’ve ever seen him have a good game. Average player at best. I’d rather give Courtiniho a decent run in the team.
-
Just watched the miss on the highlights on SSN app, great ball from Ings, wasn’t as bad as everyone made out was still a lot to do. A player like Bailey isn’t going to be a world beater every game and today wasn’t his day. Still has a good game in him every other game, a world class player has a great game every game, we can’t attract that calibre of player. He’ll no doubt play well next week to make amends.
-
Didn’t think he’d be in the squad today? I thought he was on loan?
-
I’m in the camp where I don’t really like it to the extreme we’ve been doing it, yes do a bit of it, dive on the ball emi, make 3 subs and the odd tactical foul but the whole taking 30 seconds to take a goal kick or feigning injury is a bit too much. But saying this, if Brighton go and score in the last minute I’m screaming at the TV, why are we not time wasting you incompetent clearing in the woods so loud the kid and the dog are crying.
-
We all on hate on Gerrard but he would have picked up quite a lot of info from him, his goal yesterday was quite Gerradesk… arriving late and hammering it home. Hope he shapes into half the player Gerrard was and we have a player on our hands. With some tactics and positivity from Emery, hoping he can kick in and become a top premier league player.
-
Sorry if this has been said but just back from the game, was behind him in lower trinity stand and the way he was directing the team pointing to space behind shaw, telling them to slow down, talking to players off the ball, especially in the first half was first class. Was like watching a composer at work playing his band. Not seen anything like it before first hand. Can’t wait to see what this man can do moving forward.
-
Ironically they were shouting Argentina… which must of surprised him and spurred him on lol. If they think he’s bad then that little evil midget they’ve got at the back needs looking at, nasty little CB
-
Unbelievable really that he was MOTM imo today and he won’t be in the England squad. And the slab head didn’t even get off the bench today for the losing team not because he’s injured because he’s deemed not good enough to play and will start at the World Cup. Make it make sense
-
Obviously must do it worked again today
-
Yeah and funny how we drew with one of the stand out teams and lost narrowly to the other. Yet we get thrashed by Bournemouth, palace, Fulham and newcastle!
-
I mean like someone else said I don’t care how much he spends as long as he improves us. if he picks up another Martinelli for £6 million then I think we will all be happy.
-
I agree in some sense but the same could be said about Boubacar, he was on a free and just breaking into the French national team, he still came to us, we still have some pull. I’m sure Emery wouldn’t have taken the job if he didn’t think he could or would be able to improve the squad. We need to stop thinking that £50 million on a player is above us, that’s where we need to be. We sold Jack for £100 million. Players are huge investments nowadays yes but I’d rather have one or two of those a season than try and find bargin bucket signings for that inevitably don’t pay off and we waste money anyway.

I disagree. I’m sure emery has come here to attract those type of players and has been promised a budget for it. If he was managing players of that calibre he will want to match that if not better it. I think his connection to these types of players will be used and utilised. We need to press on now and attract higher quality players or we’ll just be stuck with performances like yesterday
