Absolutely none of our players bar Lyle are good enough for the prem, but that doesn't stop them getting games. Weird to spend so much on Ramsay only for him to be practically forgotten about.

so you've equated people being patient and having faith as 'ground breaking'

wow

Woah woah, hold your horses. It's not impatience to say what the problems are.

Spiral

I, too, hoped we'd #FreeTella.

*dies from cringe*

Spiral

Just to add about Anass, I don't think Ramsay, Tresor, Odobert, to a certain extent Zeki have done enough to show they're any better.

Spiral

Forget Benson...he's been injured for most games If you want to look back at threads see the ones when Tella was quoted at 20m....most on here agreed not at that price. And had Foster not got sent off, and then his current problems, Tella wouldn't even be getting a mention now. Anass got sent off f...

Hope this is not too tasteless being remembrance Sunday and everything, but like, did sending 18 year olds over the top make them better warfighters? I don't think it did. It made them dead or traumatised for the most part, and better tactics would have made them soldiers and not cannon fodder. I th...

go on then, post the posts where people are saying it

RV said we're the most interesting project in English football. I type this post as Chelsea score their third goal against the best team on earth.

Spiral

I think the term ' ditching ' is a bit strong...some of those players ditched didn't want to come back, others were too expensive Players too expensive not to play?...probably the most expensive wasn't in the squad yesterday, another was a sub. One of the cheapest buys has played almost every game ...

Spiral

The word can be a bit silly and overused, but I think there's something to be said about a club having 3-4 year aims and doing business and working in such a way to achieve that aim. For instance, our 180⁰ turnaround in play style brings with it a totally different approach to transfers, training, t...

Spiral

Said this on the match thread yesterday but there have been times this season where it has felt like Kompany thought defending was beneath us. Nice to see us set up a bit more sensibly yesterday, even in spite of some weak individual play for some of the goals. But even teams playing total football ...

Spiral

It's impossible to say last season's team wasn't good enough because we've never actually tried last season's team or anything close to resembling it this season. Biggest fk up has been ditching a team that just couldn't stop winning last year. Being in this situation with last season's squad would ...

Spiral

One shirt pull followed by another, but only the second is given. VAR doesn't get the right decision, it just changes who makes the wrong decision.

Spiral

Positive that it's a decentish performance undermined by bad moments, rather than a bad performance with a few good moments like most other games this season.

Spiral

That scream was hilariously high pitched

Spiral

A bit like with Barnes last season, Jay doesn't score a lot but he's nowhere near as bad as some people make him out to be.

Awful, awful tackle but great rolling from Brownhill

Who says we aren't adapting to the league

Spiral

Is he Patrick's lad?

Spiral

JBL only getting 10 mins a game is a fking joke, honestly. If he's fit enough for 10 he's fit enough for 30 at least.

Re-arranged Israel fixture totally understandable in the circumsrances

Aah, that makes total sense.

Spiral

How can he be on int. duty? They're UEFA aren't they? I'm surprised a match is allowed to interfere with a league fixture.

Spiral

Muric must obviously be injured or ill not to make the bench today, but we're at the point where keeping Trafford in and exposing him like this is just cruel to the lad. You need to play to get experience, but you need to have the absolute basics nailed down too before you can be trusted to play.

Spiral

That bellend on the front row at arsenal who does the score with his fingers every time arsenal go in front in a game, absolute muppet.

Spiral

Berge is gonna score I feel it in my balls

Spiral

Happy we scored but fk me, was gonna put a quid on Josh to be next scorer but then thought nah.

Ekdal should be straight back in the team when he's fully fit. Not even a decision to make.

And we are one down - my point being he doesn't look to have a goal in him

We're 1-0 down, sure, but you can't look at that first half and say we're not defending well as a team. Plus he's had a chance at goal, which is more than a lot of other players get at arsenal.

Spiral

Too often this season we have started with a very high tempo and literally shot our bolt physically within the opening 25-30 minutes. Koleosho and Amdouni are usually the first to drop off, I think this approach suits us better and not just because it is Arsenal we are facing. Agree with all of tha...

Not much coming from Jay or Amdouni (apart from the one shot)
Goals win games and we just don't seem to have the necessary up front

Jay's playing a big part in the defensive setup. They can't get through the centre at all because he's screening the centre midfielders.

Spiral

Still in this.

Spiral

Balls.

Spiral

Any club in the country would take this result at half time. Well done so far boys.

This change in defensive shape certainly makes us look more solid

Trafford has been excellent.

Been times this season where it's felt like Kompany thought defending was beneath us. Glad we've rediscovered what a defensive line actually looks like.

Lad's 6'1 and 80kg. Those are striker stats, not winger stats. From our team last year only Tella scored more in the league than him. As a low risk loan given Lyle's absence we could do a lot worse...

Like bringing back Wout, for example.

If it happens, I hope he is a huge success and fires us to safety. That would really **** them off. Go Ben! It'd be almost too sweet to be true, but yeh, he leaves no-hopers Rovers and a bit later comes to save Burnley's bacon. Beautiful. From a pure banter perspective it's too good a possible oppo...

You make a fair point, DA.

We can all get bogged down in the finer details of transfer expenditure, value, priorities etc, but fact of the matter is, no club that is among the top 10 spenders in Europe in any given season should get 11 games into the season with only 4 points to show for it. You can talk about value, inflatio...

I'm trying my best to grasp it, believe me.

Anyone who thinks at this level our players should be just wellying it in to the stand are either idiots or very hindsight driven. What Beyers mistake shows is that along with Zaroury not making a sudden impact on the two games he played is that those thinking Muric, Ekdal, Cork :lol: , Benson and ...
