Great goal

Its like watching JJ when Trent is defending

Looks like this game is going to be a repeat of when Ipswich played Arsenal

He was pretty good last season for Brest who were fighting for Europe - ended up finishing 3rd He has unfortunately barely played this season - although that is for a Marseille side who are currently 2nd so not much of a surprise he isn't really getting a look in I wouldn't be against it if we could get a decent deal for him

Brassier is someone I wanted us to look at last January Left footed centre back who can also play left back At the time he would've been perfect at left back of Enzo's system

Quite a few people last season saying he was better than Barnes

2nd signing for Bournemouth

2 or 3 chances to lay it back to Stolarczyk so he could launch it Then a chance to launch it out himself for a throw in He is just stupid

Better than JJ obviously and would come in as our best full back but I don't think he does that much defensively does he?

Stolarczyk Joseph, Faes, Okoli, Thomas Choudhury, Winks McAteer, Facundo, Alves Daka Not sure about the 10 - Facundo, Bilal, or maybe someone like Golding

RB CB LW ST Gonna end up getting a maximum of 2 of those, crap players, and gonna be towards the very end of the window aren't they

He was alright today But him being one of our best players today just tell you everything about how shite most of the rest are

I was wrong, bring him back Genuinely cannot be anyworse than JJ

I know we are bad but Southampton are horrendous aren't they Genuinely be a surprise if they manage Derby's 11 points at this rate

I honestly think I would be quite surprised if we finished the season with him still in charge...

82 minutes to make attacking subs ffs

How much longer until he reaches Ward in 22/23 levels of being a detriment to the side? Diabolical

Cock up down the right leads to a goal? Well I am shocked.

Pretty shite half of football really I think Thomas has done well

Only 4 minutes long but I love watching this video

32 appearances for Chelsea since he left us in August 2022

Great signing! Iversen the other way? They are apparently interested

What Danish right backs are there? Lets get a full Danish back 5 going

Ruud Van Nistelrooy Pre-Match Press Conference vs Aston Villa January window? “When I came in, we assessed the current squad and I wanted to see how it was during December so we could know the positions. Then we would look ahead to see what is possible in January. We have been aligned with that since the first conversation, and now looking into the window. We’re clear on looking at certain options." Which positions? “These conversations are important. The December month gave a clear view for me where the team needs help. You can also look at injuries and how long they are out for. But we’ll keep that behind closed doors.” Edouard? “Odsonne is part of our squad. He’s one of the two Premier League loans we have. We expect him and Facundo Buonanotte to be at the club.” Use your connections with United? “Of course I am looking at my network, having played in a couple of countries. It’s important to use my network to strengthen the squad and help the team reach its target.” Squad status? “We’re looking to have Jordan Ayew back from suspension. Wout Faes has been in individual training but we expect him to be in the squad.” Hermansen? “Mads won’t be available. He’s been assessed over the past week. He’s been in his rehab programme. There’s not a clear picture but he’ll be out for a couple of weeks at least.” Man City? “We showed ourselves on and off the ball. But the big indicator was the reaction of the crowd. They were behind the players even after the 1-0 for Savinho. That says something about the performance. It doesn’t sit well that we didn’t get any points.” How to get points? “We have to maintain these performances and look at details in the two final thirds. The development is there but against the bigger teams, it needs to be spot on. That’s what we’re focusing on.” What have you learned about squad? “Playing six games in a month, it’s a condensed schedule. You learn a lot about individuals and how they train. That’s why it was such an important month to see what we want and see if the right possibilities come up.” Villa? “They’re doing an excellent job. Unai is a top coach. I have followed him for many years, with Villarreal and Sevilla. The success he has achieved with different clubs, he’s doing an excellent job with the players. They’ve signed some great players. They have built Villa up to a very stable club.” Rogers, Duran, and Torres missing? “But Bailey will be back from injuries, they’ve got Mings back. They’ve got a squad with two top players per position.” McAteer? “Kasey is doing better. He’s been individually training. Maybe he can do partial team training. We’ll see if he can make QPR.” Injury to Fatawu - want a winger? “It’s good to look at where the injuries are and make your conclusions. We’ll make decisions on where we want to do it. We need the signings to strengthen. I want to share the different views of how we approach.” Mood? “The performances give a certain trust and confidence. But there’s no points won. But we also know it was at Anfield and then at home against City. There were opportunities to collect points and that’s where the disappointment is .” Relegation battle? “I had a very clear view, before I signed, that it would go right to the end of the season. I’m prepared with the team, game by game, that by the end of the season we are where we want to be. In that sense, I’m not focused on where we are now. I’m focused on us getting better and where we can strengthen.” Squad good enough if no signings? “We’re looking at possibilities to strengthen. We have to do it. But this squad has qualities if we have everyone is on board. It’s on us to prove that. With the current squad, we go to Villa, and we have to prove we have to stay in the division.” Interest in Dewsbury-Hall? “You can’t have any more Premier League loans, so you have to deal with the current situation. But we will explore all possibilities. We are working with Jon, Martyn, the scouts and we’re looking everywhere.”
