macandally Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I see the hangover continues with the lack of optimism! Prediction, we will be buying players this window, but not £30/40m bracket, we will buy players that mirror Emery’s energy, pressing and technical ability and can be moulded into a team, not a bunch of individuals 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I’d like to see us buy a captain or two to bring more leaders in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 On reflection on the Stevenage loss, it was an individual mistake from Dendoncker and then people switched off from the corner and we've a poor goalkeeper who should have saved it. They had 2 shots on target all game and scored them both. Mings, McGinn, Martinez - we were missing the leaders in that moment. I also feel as we went with our backup players they were all keen to impress without focus on winning the game a 1-0 would have done that. I'm more worried about the injuries to Cash and Augustinson. We need to get Moreno in soon hopefully. We also need a new player in attack. Bailey needs to be coming off the bench for a while 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey needs to be coming off the bench for a while At right back i guess we have chambers and ash young the latter will start against leeds i think. I think w ecan also recall kesler if needed. Right back is a rea i want looked at in the summer as i think cash needs some real competition there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 We absolutely need to bring in players that are able to play the way Emery wants to, and I'm sure we will. I really can't see Emery agreeing to come in if he was told that he won't be able to make big changes to the squad if required. The performance yesterday indicates that it probably is required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwi1890 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Would anybody take Memphis Depay? Wages would obviously be the stumbling block but he isn’t getting a look in at Barcelona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 We could do well by playing Sanson before we get excited about new players. He was basically the only one who escaped criticism yesterday and showed real desire. I have no idea what has gone wrong there but it seems an irrational conspiracy to waste his talent when we could really do with it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what has gone wrong there but it seems an irrational conspiracy to waste his talent when we could really do with it. The guy's a baller. Comfortable in possession, and finds his man. I think him and Kamara could work well together. I can see why UE likes Doug, as he looks to play on the front foot, but Sanson, Kamara, and a new attacking mid could be a good combo.

So 4 chances, 2 went in, 1 was half a yard offside but went in and 1 hit the bar with the keeper just watching. A pretty terrible ratio. A better team scores 5 or 6.
