None of our defenders can pass it, none of our midfielders actually want it, none of our wingers can wing it. Right back to basics, just shell it. Big man has a great touch, great presence, great all round game. Nyland Elmo Engels Mings Hause Targett Drinkwater Jack McGinn Sama Keinan I’ve been saying this for weeks. The going back to basics part. Our players aren’t very good. The midfielders simply have no influence on games so just bang it long and build from there. If it sticks, great, give it to Grealish and McGinn. If it doesn’t, fight for the second ball. If we don’t win that, everybody retreat and defend with your life. Then, when we do win it back, bang it long again. Wont happen though, we won’t drop our sexy style of football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny because we don't even play sexy football 90% of the time anyway. Still say get Big Sam in and play defensive long ball - rather we stay up and play 100% dire football than the current 10% sexy football and always lose.

TRO Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 It doesn't matter who comes in, nothing changes. McGinn will be back soon and will still be the same.....it was the same just before his injury. we are all clutching at straws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems whoever we bring in players, managers or owners, we just don’t seem to click on the pitch, I don’t know why that is, it’s been like that, it’s been that way for pretty much a decade now. I don’t see it changing any time soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 He did more in 15 minutes yesterday than the majority of our team, yet some people refuse to acknowledge that he brings something to the team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to play. Hell, play him centre mid if Smith is too stubborn to play 2 up top. Just play the bloke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elton Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I’m certain he is in the starting line up as soon as his fitness allows given his injury record. I expect he may even start on Saturday and hope get through 60 minutes. Again, in a few minutes on the pitch he actually does something positive and keeps the ball too. He can’t change our horrific recent away displays all on his own but he does make us a fair bit better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten attempts to recreate Brazil 1970 from our own box – zero good outcomes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 He’s out of contract with us in the Summer, I think he has a lot of potential but he just hasn’t had a run of games in our first team. His ability to hold up the ball and bring others in to play is probably the best from our squad. If he could add goals to his game, he’d be playing at a better club than ours I think. Then again, they all are SGC, they all are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 22, 2020 Moderator Share Posted April 22, 2020 There's an article in the Evening Mail which I think refers to it - obviously that's not been confirmed by a proper news outlet yet, but it sounds promising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 22, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted April 22, 2020 Given his propensity to get injured I hope in current climate he's in an hermetically sealed chamber somewhere off the grid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
