Still not convinced by that midfield.

Depends where JBG and Amdouni play. If JBG is in the 10 position it's fine. If it's 442 we'll probably get overun again in midfield.

summitclaret

Get ready for a chain reaction.

summitclaret

The lessons and naivity from the last 2 league games have been learnt. So I hope we play 4231, and if Amdouni starts he has to be wide, to allow Berge to play as the attacking midfielder. With Josh next to Cullen. Either Taylor or Decrioux at left back. Al Dakhil needs to play cb because their cf is...

Pawson reffing to the crowd....he's so easily influenced.

2 horrendous decisions from Pawson. The protection keepers get is pathetic. The crowd was referring the handball. Var for the former just proved it's a club.

I'd rather see us go down trying to win games than go down trying to scrape draws. That said, we clearly need to improve I'd rather see us be pragmatic, especially to get some points on the board. So start by ensuring that we are in games at half time. That means playing Roberts at right back Taylo...

Play Taylor at left back and 3 proper centre midfielders (one advanced) or we will have learnt nothing and the nativity will continue.

Jesus what have I done.

This is very encouraging.

I suppose that at some point, this joke will be funny.

It's not funny. Foster and Trafford are not wingers. Other than that it's hilarious. Makes a great point about our lack of a left back.

summitclaret

That's a misleading comment. His brother says that our guy won't be fit for the October and November international breaks. Next year refers to first break in 2024 i.e. he won't be fit to play for Sweden until 2024.

Not sure how we will cope with an earlier deadline for submission of annual accounts.

Can’t image VK leaving Tresor out after he’s been chasing him for so long,also think they’ll be a place for the lad from Bristol City ,anyone who thinks we’ll become more defensive has another think coming ,I reckon we’ll be the 2023 version of Keegan’s Newcastle . Then we'll have to build for the ...

Yes, strange one is the LB position. Can only assume Vitinho is the shoe in for that role and VK is confident in his ability.

More than I am. We were spoit we IM. Without him we need a different set up.

summitclaret

Amdouni is clearly a talent, but he doesn't fit in at the moment. Foster is the focal point, of that there is no doubt. It's how VK decides to supply him. Whether that is with wingers or with through balls decides the rest of the team. We have a plethora of wingers but I think we can only accommoda...

I like him. For now if he starts he needs to be instead of one of the 2 wingers. We need a proper nr 10, i.e. an attacking midfielder in a 3 man cm. So it's either him on the centre right with Foster down the middle. Or him down the middle with Foster on the centre left. Take you pick from our many ...

"How times have changed and although it hasn't worked out so far, I know which one I enjoy most, from an entertainment angle." There's nothing entertaining about getting whooped 3 games on the trot. Build from a solid defensive, attack on the break at this stage. The City approach is for City players.

But whilst Maddison was bending it in, Brownhill was running towards the right back position. Not sure where Cullen was. This isn’t a dig at Brownhill, he’s just not a defensive midfielder like some think he’s gonna just sit and cover. Not his game Brownhill is better as an attacking cm, but far be...

summitclaret

Berge is a playmaker/ box to box player. Not a defensive midfielder that runs after every ball though I do think he does his job. He does try his best to do his defensive work. Think the ball should go more towards him with his good passing he should play it around. Cullen is way less of a passer. ...

Cullen is still living on the credit he rightfully gained last season. Should be getting as much stick as Berge.

The manager is responsible not the players. 2 in cm is plain daft.

We couldn't play long ball even if we wanted. Without THB and Muric, we don't have the skill set.

summitclaret

The absolutely no way we can afford to not have Vincent as our manager, even if we have to accept another drop. The squad is full of players that only came here to play for him. No chance the vast majority of the crowd would vocally turn on him or the players, especially given the young average age....

summitclaret

A fair report Tony. It says Nathan Dyer not Redmond for the sub in the main bit. Think we have enough wingers.

summitclaret

I would have loved to have been at the post match presser and asked VK if Taylor was available for selection yesterday. If he'd said yes I'd have then said "no further questions".

Anyone remember the start of last season? When we played some good stuff at times but kept conceding shabby goals , and it wasn’t quite clicking. Well we are in that transition again with lots of new players , and lots learning the demands of the league. Some strange decisions yesterday like but le...

Can't see any panicking. Just amazement at the naiveness so far. It's not the results. The last 2 PL performances have shown that we have learnt nothing and persist with set ups and tactics that are not going to work.

Radio Lancashire played an interview with Matt Williams before kick off who said Chelsea only came back on deadline day to make a deal for Maatsen. So my question is, if Maatsen wasn’t available in the lead up to the deadline, why hadn’t we identified another LB who we could move on when Maatsen di...

Absolutely nothing to do with Trafford.

Surely noone can disagree with everything said in first 5 posts on here.

To be frank, I am very concerned tonight about our naivity and that of our manager.

Not to man mark Madison with Brownhill was suicide.

I've seen CT have some very good games against the likes of Salah.

We have just limited our options by not signing a left back who can do what IM did. However, we are where are and maybe it's not too bad as we'll need to be able defend more this year and will have to find new ways to create and score. I think Taylor at lb will make us better defensively and I hope ...

summitclaret

Good luck young man.

summitclaret

It's too soon (just) to be critical of this window, but as Nixon has just said on Radio Lancashire, we've know since Christmas that we would be up. Why on earth are we messing about today for a left back. It's crucial to the way we play.

summitclaret

Furthermore, I don't believe the £31.5m. It suits Chelsea and IM's agent to be able to quote it at a latter date, if necessary.

summitclaret

I find it incredible that all this info is really getting of what should be private discussions. It’s being being leaked to try and get a good deal for IM. Some people are getting far too wound up.

summitclaret

Last minute try on by his agent? Hold your nerves guys.

summitclaret

Sounds like his agent is playing hardball. Also, my guess is that the fee put about by Chelsea includes a 1 year loan fee.

summitclaret

Penalty clauses aren't allowed in most contracts. You can have liquidated damage clauses, however these need to be a genuine pre-estimate of the loss that will be incurred as a result of the delayed completion. Not sure how you would ascertain or calculate that loss in this instance? Loss of profit...

Are they really 4 way? Be warned, the other day the 4 way signs were up, but the lights weren't. Some if your turning right watch out for traffic coming at you.

Surely we don't need another winger if we get Tresor. Or is Benny off?

Temp lights are set up mainly to protect the workforce and the pedestrians who may be affected by the works possibly disrupting footpaths. If no safety system is in place then the public would have to walk out and around the works into the line of traffic. Other reasons are utilities being in the r...

So as it stands we could be signing:-

Massango for cm
Tresor - winger
A Portuguese cb
Daka or Origi for up top

Still quite on a left back, crucially.
