I know what the term means.....it was the context, when we have just signed 5 really good players ..but hey ho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KangarooVillan Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Would prefer Pape Sarr tbh. We do have a habit of linking a similar player when we’re trying to shake another from the tree... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really ? - I think at best we will do as well as last season. The only way we crack on is if a couple of our youngsters turn into total ballers - I'm thinking Chuck/Barry. Or we buy a a couple of £70m+ players. Don't see either happening until next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take a season of consolidation tbh. Perhaps some tempering expectations, having to wait for these players to gel, is necessary. Having said that, in raw talent terms, we've some v v exciting individuals indeed (coupled with the newly appointed set piece coach). that bodes well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you shouldn't go overboard on a youtube vid - but those tackles quickly followed by a slide rule defence splitting pass - have me reahing for the daffy gif ! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see either happening until next summer. many predictions are having us around 8-6th.....I would say 10th-8th I said 12th last season and ended with 11th....I see us being a more rounded team this season, so we will see how that pans out. Its hard to say, I think we have the talent, its just the character and will to win, I am a little unsure about.....I still think the back post on crosses we seem a bit vulnerable and we can't afford to give teams a goal start.

Building on last season if we can cut out dropping points against those teams we should have beaten — I know there were a few just can't remember whuch games we threw away — i think we'll be good for 7th or 8th. Obviously we're gunning for 6th which is not impossible but very tough indeed. If our new signings hit the ground running we have every chance of that. We are going to need some luck with injuries too, one area where we have been pretty unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I think people should rein in their expectations for this season, after all we are missing an integral part of the team from last year......... Ross Barkley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
