The whole scenario just begs the question why Kompany didn't let him go in January
It's not as if we are short of wide men

jojomk1

If he continues to get game time with Hull I doubt he will want to come back here as a bench warmer next season
If we can make a financial profit from him this summer he will likely be gone
It's all part of VK's project

He has to spend some of BFC’s money somewhere. Shame he didn’t provide Dyche with some more in the season we signed Dale Stephens.

Maybe ALK had already told him to hold that money back for themselves ?

jojomk1

Perhaps Alan could reach out to him and we could become a feeder club for them this summer when we are looking to shed a few players

jojomk1

At least we haven't played as bad today as we did in the first game of the season
Or have we
Ask Vinny

What in gods green earth are you expecting Benson to do exactly?

Just be given a chance to show what he can do

The rest of them have been given plenty of chances to show their skills - and they don't seem to be adding up to much

I think this ' lack of physicality' thing is being really overstated with Benson, considering the treatment he got last season.

This "lack of physicality" runs through the whole squad
Too many lightweights signed this summer
Hence our current league position

jojomk1

Simple question
If VK doesn't fancy him at this level or has had a fall out with him,
Why hasn't he just let him go either on loan or transfer as he clearly doesn't feel the need to start him
Just one of a number of baffling decisions by a manager who looks way out of his depth at this level

The back 5 is the main platform for any team

Slightly disagree
A strong spine throughout the team is usually considered to be more important
We don't have a strong GK or a strong CM
And both these weak areas continue to cost us

jojomk1

We were competitive for 70 mins. Esteve injury was big and caution was the right thing. We had a real mixture of performances out there individually. Loads of positives to build on, but some thins VK absolutely has to change because they just are not working. We did well. Good summary Based on toda...

Not bottom and still only 7 points from 17th

Arsenal up next

That one is a lot more winnable

Has Amdouni touched the ball since the opening 12-15 minutes or so?

Proper baffling player. The 15 minute man

You could say the same for Ramsey

jojomk1

We are losing and the front four are all looking a bit tired
Any chance of a change

Trafford needs a break for the sake of himself and the team. Muric may be no better, but it's time to try him as Trafford should lose the shirt.

Never going to happen

He is so weak

i would have brought Cullen in for Ramsey..

I would have brought you in for Ramsey, even me

VK is clueless but has to show faith in his big signings

jojomk1

Just think Pep sees wrong things sometimes
De Brunye and Silva on the bench and Akanji in midfield
Everton coping reasonably well - City with no shots on target in first half

I think he’s too stubborn to bring Muric back in.
I’m not sure Cullen is up to it in the PL and would need to need two others close to him in the middle for it to work. Maybe in a 4141 or 451 with him holding.

More chance of seeing Benson start

There's a guy called "Diesel Bob" who works off a farm on the way out of Ribchester to Longridge who is very good

First half was definitely not good enough, second half was improved. Kompany gets enough criticism for poor subs when today his subs made the difference. But, given the average performance of some of the starting eleven, a number of those subs should have started Amdouni, Ekdal and Ramsey are strug...

Positively sure we are going down
Positively sure VK will still be with us next season
That's not so positive
Don't let a good comeback when we should have lost the game, cover up for the limitations of this Manager and Owner

jojomk1

They are out on loan for a reason - VK does not fancy any of them even as "squad" players
Don't see much of a future for many even in the Championship next season so might as well let them go especially if we can get in some money

jojomk1

"Better defensive set up by us" sums it up
Starting with a back four and our limitations across the line leaves us with so many defensive problems
Trouble is we have now lost our left wing back in Roberts

jojomk1

There were players on their bench who would have normally started in a tight game and they were playing at half pace for a lot of the time We, on the other hand, had little choice to make, playing a right back who is not a right back, same for left back, and too deep a central midfield The positive ...

He's a decent player

But not in this setup

Given Southampton's outrageous behaviour over Tella they really have a brass neck cheek. They should do one.

According to Wiki, Leverkusen paid a "reported" fee of £20m

Can’t say I did 48 hours ago, tbh.

Looks a lot like Esteve to me though - rapid and tall. Probably not going to be as good as Maatsen going forward but maybe a better bet defensively.

And where have you actually watched these two guys ?

jojomk1

Zaroury’s stock is only going to go down. The fact it’s so high after roughly a year of average performance is impressive. Koleosho has more 1v1, Odobert has more production. He’s third choice going on 4th if we’re persisting with Tresor which at the price he cost, we kinda have to. Cash in. And ye...

jojomk1

Benson will most likely go as it makes us a profit on his original cost in It is the model that VK and Pace are working towards and would be a good example of their success (in their thoughts) The fact that the model may not take account of his wages (especially the improved deal he got this summer)...
