I still don't get any of this. How did we end up with Zaroury out on loan, Benson out of the squad, and Ramsey out on the pitch?

Different positions / profiles / higher ceiling?

RVclaret

He’s right that we started the first half quite well. We were the better side until Fulham scored the corner.

RVclaret

I think these lads will give us the best chance of playing our natural game and the best chance of winning football matches. Draws aren't really good enough at this point, we need to throw the kitchen sink at it. ------------Muric Assignon-O'Shea-Esteve-Taylor ------------Cullen ------JBG----------...

Impressive debut. Having a left footer at LCB just feels better. Shame the fans started getting on his case for retaining the ball which then led to our goal.

RVclaret

Sheff are absolutely atrocious.

The second goal? What are you on about there?

How are you blaming that on Vitinho?

You might neee the angle from the side where he’s playing the guy on.

3-0 Villa

RVclaret

Trafford 6 - poor on the 2nd, some decent passing and saves Assignon 7 - looks good O’Shea 6 - felt he was shaky today but better than Ekdal 4 - rightly hooked Vitinho 3 - please Vincent Ramsey 4 - he’s very floaty, technically good but need more Brownhill 3 - worst player on the pitch Berge 7 - sha...

RVclaret

Brownhill was worse than him today.

RVclaret

Maxime Esteve looks good.

So noticeable having a proper left footer at LCB, impressed me has Esteve

Fully agree there

RVclaret

Get Brownhill off please. Time for Massengo.

RVclaret

Think we are past the point of sacking Kompany now. No one half decent will want to come in to this. Proper can’t be assed with a Chris Wilder.

RVclaret

Ramsey is abysmal. He's living off an okay game against United, he's been either missing or directly overturned possession to give away goals in every other game. Seen nothing to offer from him or Tresor all season, not much from Larsen since Sheffield at home (thought he looked exciting, rounded a...

Where are the leaders in this team? Brownhill surely should be screaming at the team seems like they don't give a ****

Brownhill is the quietest captain to ever play the game I think

RVclaret

Started well but just absolutely abysmal defending and heads have gone. It’s mind blowing Vitinho is still starting at this level.

RVclaret

Looks like Ramsey in the 10 and Amdouni off the right

RVclaret

It’s a good job Dyche has a team of giants and practice set pieces for hours every day cause they’ve never seen scoring in open play lately

Vitty to LB?

Ramsey on the wing? How is he lining up here?

————————Trafford
Assignon—O’Shea—Ekdal—Vitinho
Ramsey—Berge—-Brownhill—Odobert
——————Amdouni—Foster

Assignon likes the overlap so Ramsey will probably drift inside a lot.

RVclaret

There’s quite a few £ in those loan players for us, should fetch north of £20m if you take out Anass and Mellon. Obafemi £5m Twine £4m Roberts £3m Weghorst £2m (anything to recoup something) Churlinov £4m McNally £6m I put Obafemi £5m because that’s what we got for Wells, could be slightly more or ...

Egan-Riley playing for PSV’s 21s team in the league below. Also reports suggested a buy option in the deal I think?

This detached feeling some have is weird.

Have any of those who feel detached ever explained what used to happen to make them feel attached ? Did they get special treatment ?

Seems like it’s the latest buzzword

RVclaret

Isn't this, and the disconnect with Benson not a sign of failure of our supposed transfer policy? Surely we could have moved them on for decent money in the summer, after both had been stand out players in the Championship. Now we have two players who know they aren't wanted here, and probably don'...

Great to see he’s joined for the project. Welcome.

Egan-Riley was highly rated at Hibs, only 20 years old too. PSV looks a pretty good loan for him if he gets game time. One to keep in mind for next season if he does well…

Ah just seen there’s an option to buy suggested.

I bloody hope it’s not our last transfer. Insanity we are not going for a left back We’ve been linked with several left backs. Clear they are ‘going for one’, doesn’t mean they will definitely land one though. Esteve has played left back and plays wide left centre back in a 3 for Montpellier, perha...

RVclaret

I'm not suggesting we have gone backwards, but that statistic, in isolation does not prove that we haven't gone backwards and it's quite ridiculous to suggest that it does. I'm guessing Al-Dakhil's goal was very close to 1.0 xG, which in itself, considering the stage of the game and the inconsequen...

RVclaret

Are those going to be anywhere near the quality that we lose though? I think at least 10 will go in the summer if relegated 10 will need to go given the squad size is over 30, particularly if we want a few fresh faces too. But that over 30 includes the likes of Jay, Cork, Taylor who are out of cont...

Zaroury off to Hull on loan, confirmed by their local reporter https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/hull-city-zaroury-transfer-burnley-9071285 Hmm I thought he was worth persevering with in that inside right role we’ve been playing but I guess this could well be Anass pushing...

RVclaret

Had a slightly larger xG than City at the Etihad (1.27 v 1.54). People will scoff, I know, but it’s quite rare that’s happens. As a comparison, in the FA cup last season, when we lost 6-0, the xG was 3.55 v 0.48. Clearly a factual, statistical based improvement which ends the debate we have gone bac...

—————————-Trafford
Assignon——O’Shea——Ekdal——Esteve
Zaroury——Berge——Brownhill—Odobert
———-———Amdouni—Foster

RVclaret

Reckon Taylor, Esteve and Delcroix will be used at left back.

Massively important we actually upgraded at right back which it looks like we are doing.

RVclaret

Reminder, last seasons super duper mega team lost 6-0 here

RVclaret

It is a different level, but if we had improved the team, would Luton currently be this far ahead of us having finished 21 points below us last season? We've gone backwards. I know you’re very much an over emotional type as seen with wishing Tresor was dead after a last minute leveller and with a r...

Surely a gem is a player that’s successful at this level?
Apart from Foster and potentially Odobert has anyone else been even close to successful

Could be now could be next season could be the year after.

I believe Palace have just signed a gem in Adam Wharton but he’s not played a PL game yet.

Which gems are these?

Trafford, Al-Dakhil, Odobert, Koleosho, Ramsey, Foster, Amdouni, Massengo, Zaroury. Berge just above the age category for a ‘gem’ but a top signing.

RVclaret

Personally hope we keep doubling down on the strategy and signings the gems we have been doing. Looks like that’s the case with Esteve coming in. Great stuff.

RVclaret

Vincent loves Vitinho. Can’t see him seeing right back as a priority in this window.

RVclaret

The pass from Sambi Lokonga for their second was outstanding. Why we decided not to sign him I don’t know.

RVclaret

Seen this and few places now and I appreciate I'm almost certainly missing something, but what exactly did Southampton so that was so heinous apart from set a price for their player that we didn't want to pay? The Athletic reported some messing around with said price. An article inferred that early...

RVclaret

Loaning out Zaroury and Benson after ignoring them this season - seems strange business. If the model is to make money on players then should have sold them in the summer rather than let their values plummet like this. I've no idea if Obafemi is a good player or not because he hardly had a run in t...

That left back had been linked to Napoli, Ajax, PSV, Brighton and Villa in the last week and rumoured to be signing a new deal, his agent is putting in some graft, 30% sell on fee to Parma for any sale to

Sounds a pretty unrealistic one. Fenerbache fans saying 20-30m.

RVclaret

Sounds like Esteve is close but will be an initial loan with mandatory buy clauses

What a weapon

RVclaret

JBG is the top chance creator per 90 minutes in our entire team this season. As well as being several levels above any other option for defensive work / PL nous in the narrow right midfield slot in our 4-4-2. Put some respect on the Iceman’s name! Oh and Benson was never linked to Milan, a fake bot ...

What a win. Pope and Hartley take a bow.
