Everyone apart from Kompany can see this, go figure

When you spend over 100 million on a new team /: it’s difficult to explain to the chairman why your back playing the old team

Posted: **Sat Oct 21, 2023 7:47 pm**

Trafford (no point saying muric it’s not happening

Vitinho
O’Shea
Delcroix
Taylor
(Beyer and Ekdal still injured and al-dakhil needs taking out)

Cullen
Cork
Berge

Larsen
Foster
Zaroury

It's a "must win" game.

Posted: **Sat Oct 21, 2023 7:50 pm**

I’m serious when I say this , Vinny get your boots on , the defence are a shambles.

Posted: **Sat Oct 21, 2023 7:50 pm**

Benson is injured isn’t he?

It’s the only defence we have mate. Roberts suspended, Vitinho, al-dakhil, O’Shea, delcroix and Taylor are our only fit defenders

Let’s hope that has changed by next weekend!!

Kompany walks into this team with these injuries

From what I was told after Chelsea game, Beyer was 6 weeks but Ekdal was close, who knows what close means

Posted: **Sat Oct 21, 2023 7:57 pm**

Couldn’t agree more.

Posted: **Sat Oct 21, 2023 8:01 pm**

Let’s hope Ekdal is back next Saturday then with Beyer then a few weeks behind that.

The thought of going with two from O’Shea, Al Dakhil and Delcroix is frightening. Truly shambolic trio.

Posted: **Sat Oct 21, 2023 8:19 pm**

Make no mistake, this is a must not lose. Arguable a season defining game.

Posted: **Sat Oct 21, 2023 8:35 pm**

lose this and Kompany is under pressure NO doubt about it

Have to agree..
Pace and Co have seem to give him who he wanted and it's obviously not working by a huge scale.
End of the day it's a results game and in this league it's all about money and staying in it

Delcroix? I dont know what the question is but i know it isnt which centre half do you think will make the defence better?

Larsen
Foster
Zaroury

Posted: **Sat Oct 21, 2023 8:44 pm**

I think Bournemouth is more than just ‘must not lose’ it’s must win

Posted: **Sat Oct 21, 2023 8:49 pm**

Bournemouth will be ditching their manager soon, so we need to beat them whilst they’re as bad as us.

Posted: **Sat Oct 21, 2023 9:01 pm**

Clearly play like we did today and we get beat.

Posted: **Sat Oct 21, 2023 9:03 pm**

Cork - it’s essential he plays
We need experience and leadership

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2023 4:16 am**

If we we lose to Bournemouth who can we beat in this league …then I would like a full refund on all our new players and get our money back

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2023 5:02 am**

they couldn't live with Zaroury in the Cup game, he has to start. Is he not turning up for training or something ??? mental he isn't getting time on the pitch

With all the new signings put straight in, I think VK has ****** off a fair section of the squad.

What team would you suggest? We have no other options for the back 4. We already know your opinion on Trafford vs muric and know that muric isn’t going to play a league game unless Trafford gets injured

What midfield would you have that wouldn’t be dominated?

What wingers would you have to help foster?

Honestly I don’t have one.

I don’t see a single team we can put out that beats Bournemouth with the injuries and suspensions.

Your team is probably the best one possible. With Kompanys tactics we will like concede at least 3 with that eleven though

Ahh apologies I thought you were saying there happened to be a better option for starting 11.

We have more than enough to beat Bournemouth if we turn up but that back 5 at the moment has zero confidence in each other

Well obviously mathematically it’s not a must win but to the average person it feels like the next two games are both must wins. Beat the team below you in the table and the get your first home win at the 6th time of asking

Would you be very disappointed and think it was catastrophic if we took say four points from those two games?

Id be very disappointed yes because it would mean we have either not beaten a side below us or still not won a home game in 6 games, to me they are both must wins, especially when the 2 games after palace are arsenal and West Ham

That’s definitely got a Branch / Gnohere feel about it !!

Solanke definitely got the potential to destroy that defence but not really sure what else we can do. I’d say play Taylor as centre back but with Roberts missing then we only have Vitinho who can play either of the full back roles.

The imbalance of our team is astonishing. And knowing this why would we not keep Owen Dodgson involved as cover ?

We have gone from a team where Taylor was 5th choice centre back to him now being our best defending option in 2 positions !!

The frightening thing is that we could have bought THB and Tella for the same cost as O Shea and a couple of those wide players we don’t need.

I think the average fan would be content with four points. I reckon Kompany be pretty pleased with it too.

If we had Arsenal and West Ham next two and lost both of them, then had Bournemouth, would you then say Bournemouth is a must win?

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2023 8:49 am**

Recently we always have done well at Bournemouth, I’ve seen 4 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 , that will continue if we play better than yesterday obviously.

Doubt it. But not sure there's much value in rearranging the fixtures in my head and confirming the results before they actually take place. I'd snap a hand off for four points from the next two.

That’s fine, snapping your hands off at 4 points is fine, imo I think they are both must wins

I don't know, because we haven't played them..... I'll say it again.... The poster was asking which teams we could beat, I pointed out the one we actually had beaten, which he'd clearly forgotten about

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2023 2:30 pm**

I think we were hanging on against Luton and admittedly could have had a win at Forest
.: anyone that’s playing us will consider it now points dropped if don’t win .::
