  1. It's all a bit subjective really. I don't really agree with any of this. Those players have all been very impressive at Prem level and I think they'd all be in our starting 11 and probably our best outfield players.
  2. They signed Lingard on the 29th of January, so there was plenty of time to use Benrahma sparingly before then too.
  3. Premier League >>>>>>>>>> Championship
  4. It works the other way too...a lot of players we're linked to (ASM, JWP) it seems are massively underrated by fans who seem genuinely to have not seen them play. But then I haven't seen them play much either, so what do I know?
  5. Because chances are other fans barely watch them. That's not a dig at those two, but both of them have limitations and it's not crazy for people to discuss those limitations.
  6. We were playing Newcastle. They're a badly run club with a shit manager. They could well get relegated. The test is when we play the good teams. I wouldn't be confident.
  7. He does nothing else though. It's a massive problem. The goals don't make up for having no otherwise presence there. Wingers should score goals, but they should also give defenders problems more frequently than he does. It's so clear.
  8. Falcon and Winter soldier got better after the first episode, but it's the worst of the three. There are some good moments though. I've heard bad things about What If...it sounds like they try to cram too much in every episode.
  9. Exactly what everyone said about Watkins.
  10. He's clearly being eyed for the number 6 position. We'd have been another team entirely on Saturday if instead of Nakamba we had a player that was capable of making a positive pass. There were other problems too, but our attack was so blunt because they were letting Nakamba have so much of the ball.
  11. Is he not worth that? It can't be far off. £45million and they've got a deal!
  12. I always interpreted this as a result of tactics, that we were set up to mainly attack on the left through that shitty youth player who just left.
  13. It's just made up. Those scores are not science. Also, Traore got a 6 but maybe was only good as far as I remember. I imagine scoring a goal bumped McGinn up a bit. I have to say when I reflect on games, I barely remember much McGinn does. It doesn't help if he was played out of position on Saturday.
  14. Yeah it's this. I'm not sure what was happening with Targett yesterday, but Nakamba having nothing to offer in a progressive sense was one of the glaring problems in our team. He had so much of the ball, but bar one great and surprising run and one basic pass out to the full back he did nothing but slow us down and make a basic pass. When he did try a medium-difficulty pass he messed it up and we faced an immediate counter.
  15. You think this because you've seen him play. I get the impression the ASM naysayers never have! He's great and very exciting to watch and he makes things happen.
  16. You know when you get the impression people lose their heads about imaginary things. Then you see a post like this and you think, 'Yep, there it is.' Disclaimer: although it hasn't happened yet in our one game where they didn't play together, I fully expect they will start together soon. But that's not my point.
  17. I like the positivity but Traore was here last season too! So two both seasons. But yeah, hopefully Buendia steps up. As of yesterday I realised that Traore is my current favourite player. He was great when he came on and he was often pretty great last season too. Grealishtwat was so entertaining to watch, but Traore really was too last season. Hopefully we have another in Bailey.
  18. Gems that are already playing at a higher level than the Prem/Championship? Or are they only gems if they're from a lower level abroad?
  19. But today he was no different to any other game bar the fact he sometimes manages to play like this and also score goals. This is exactly what he's always like in play.
  20. 'These'? It was one game with quite clearly not our intended first 11 out.
