completely agree with this. We need a whole new spine imo, we need a CD, a no.6, prob a no.8, Coutinho and a striker in the summer.......

tbf, we were really, really good for about 80% of that Spurs game, we played some lovely football, anyone who says we didnt are either lying or didnt watch the game. BUT: 1) We cant create that many chances and not take them, and expect or deserve to get anything out of the game. 2) Our defence is s***, we prob need 1 x DC in the summer, and shock horror we need a proper DM. 3) We need to sell Ings & Watkins in the summer, and get someone in who actually suits what we are trying to do, and ensure they are able to finish some bloomin chances, watching Watkins and Ings look like a Benny Hill type duo up front was something to behold. Honestly, if you did watch todays game, if that's Gerrard ball im all in, we played some lovely stuff, but it also showed how poor we are defensively, and how we lack any type of clinical edge, we could have scored 4 goals today with more clinical finishing. This team needs a big overhaul, i think we need 1 central defender, a number 6, probably a number 8, Coutinho and a striker as minimum, basically a whole new spine.

shocking display. Chambers should get the nod, tbh Konsa should never have replaced Chambers in the first place.

wouldnt be surprised if they got 4.

lol what was Konsa doing there, in no-mans land. Although who was covering.....i dunno.

Konsa, Watkins & Ings........ like pulling teeth.

classic Villa. We need 15 chances for 0 goals. They need 2 chances for 2 goals. Konsa m8.......

On the PNE forum......prob true lol.

:shivers:

Now if thats Gerrard ball, i cant get on board with that. But i think we need a few new players, some who can defend, and some who can finish......

i agree we have been great. But it means nothing when you concede stupid goals and cant score even one of over 9000 chances.

its mind boggling that we have 55m+ worth of strikers on the field, and they couldnt finish even one of those chances. They both need selling in the summer and we need to bring someone in who can.

thats the best i have seen us play in a long time. But once again, we shoot ourselves in the foot by conceding early goals, and we dont take our numerous chances. So good this half, yet so poor.

we do, because we cant score for toffee.

we have played very well...but... You cant concede goals like we do...all the time!, then not take any of the numerous chances we have had, strikers simply not good enough.

we need 2 new strikers, Watkins and Ings need to be bagged off tbh.

Coutinho really needs to be our first purchase this summer (along with 4-5 others following).

what was that cross,.

so it looks like its Norwich, Watford and one from Burnley or Everton. Looks like it probably wont be Everton after that Manure win, unless Burnley can do something special, which is highly plausible, as they still have to play us twice.

tbh, with the "never drop mcginn", "konsa starts over Chambers for no good reason", "Buendia plays well but no cigar", "sanson was our best midfielder last week and still gets dropped", "Watkins starts regardless of his brick feet"....... Add that to the recent results, and im almost as apathetic as towards the end of Smiths 5 game losing streak, i almost just want this season over with, so i dont have to deal with the nonsense every week. This team is a mess, and never dropping players who dont play well, seems a major issue to me, it boggles my little mind.

Smith had exactly the same issue tbh. I dont get it.

Sanson, probably the best of our 3 midfielders last week gets dropped for Luiz, while McGinn keeps his place again.... Konsa keeps his place over Chambers, when Chambers did nothing that wrong to be dropped in the first place, but was replaced anyways, but Konsa hasnt been any better...at all. Buendia looked good last week, and still no gravy. Part of me really just wants this season over, i think i have nearly had enough.

its a tough one, if he isnt going to be starting, i would still send him out on loan for another season, banging goals in for a full 40+ matches would do him the world of good experience wise, then assess him again at the end of next season, he will still be young (he wont be 21 until half way through next season), Tammy Abraham was on loan in the champ at a similar age, and his loan to us did him the world of good. i think it really wouldnt be good for him sitting on the bench 95% of the time, its exactly what we did to Davis, he should have gone out on loan 3 years ago.....we might have seen a different Davis if we managed loans properly.
