Agree with this. Same applies to the Youth. Nelson and Page have both proven themselves - if players in their positions aren't performing, why not give then a proper go? I don't buy this 'oh but their young' - time has moved on, football has moved on. Players this age can handle way more than we seem to give credit for.

Missed: Jordan Ayew

Good player. Will soon be beaten out of him.

Trouble is we have players in the squad who can. Even Daka can press. Page, James (higher up), Monga, (Alves had we not loaned him out).

The fact that managers still keep doing this and standing by it throughout the footballing world genuinely shocks me.

If the likes of Ayew, Faes, BDR, Thomas Skipp are good enough then its criminal he can't get in the squad.

Not sure its about today. He's been dreadful all season (and last season)

Fair enough, moore says that doesn't count as it was a youth spell - wasn't deemed good enough there either then.

Shipped out of Arsenal to Charlton wasn't he?

I question any English player that's spent most of their time abroad ahead of their best years having gone through several English youth academies. He wasn't deemed good enough for top level English football. Is proving so.

Was also shit for us

So he's good then?

Always been rubbish

Played for 7 teams since he turned 18 is my point. If you are getting shipped around that offen over that period of time, especially second-rate abroad, then its not the best look. We took a chance on him, aside from one spell he's looked largely brainless and selfish.

We were better in the first half but how many shots did we have?

Look how young he is and yet where he's been

Doesn't play in the way he made out we would pre-season in any way, shape or form. No high press, no always pushing for more goals, no attacking aggression. Why say one thing and do absolutely the opposite?

What I will say is that pre-season he repeatedly, in every interview, made a lot about playing from the front, always pushing for a win, and if we are winning, more goals and always being aggressive in the press high up the pitch and in our attacking play. Unfortunately none of that is actually present. Which is concerning. Either he's a liar or he thinks this is attacking football.

Awful player that looked great with one short inform spell. We took him on as a journeyman, and now we know why. Lack of brain is very Schlupp.

Poor. All our forward options are utterly dreadful. Its going to be a long season if we don't get a goalscorer in January.

Players that shouldn't be anywhere near this: Ayew Skipp Soumare Hamza Thomas Mavididi

Dont want him gone but he needs to learn and learn quick. Those subs were absolutely vile, utterly utterly sickening. No need to make them and certainly no need for Skipp, basically ever. Absolutely vile.

Get that ****ing bald £25m shit grandad away from my club too. Absolutely horror signing. Absolutely horror player.

Of course we did. Easily one of the most financially disgusting transfers in modern football history.

We are But that was 100% on the manager.
