  1. LIke win the Europa Conference do you mean or turn the irons into a respectable Top 8 club......then No
  2. A lot easier to do it if we can survive the first season ….i do take your point but job one is survival and financially that stabilises us then we start building plus the youth players coming through over the next 18 months like Alves and Braybrooke will help
  3. Don’t care about being entertained as the last season was painful….to survive next season it will be finding a formula to compete - give me moyes over all the names on the list above ….he is a top prem manager and we should make him our no.1 target as he will do a good job somewhere in the prem in the next 12 months
  4. I think Moyes would really suit this squad as we have players who could operate like the hammers without overplaying in the prem plus 4 or 5 additions with a couple of those being loan players - I would take for example a Cresswell as a leader …..all about opinions but him and Nolan would absolutely give us a chance of staying up
  5. I think James, Chilwell, Fofana can all step in and play he will have an abundance of talent at his disposal - he won’t come knocking for anyone other than Mads - however if Rudkin has any sense negotiating a couple of loans from Chelsea would be worthwhile just not Casadei - Washington or Fofana up front maybe options
  6. Why not moyes intrigued why?
  7. We need stability and someone who will work with a sensible budget but recognise that primary job is to keep us up next season and then build - genuinely don’t think EM would have had a chance here next season as he is wed to one way and whilst that is admirable our players struggled to adapt in the championship and the next step is huge. pragmatism suggests a David Moyes who brings a huge wealth of experience and kept an Everton side up for years and also turned the hammers into a decent side - if we could attract him I would definitely go for him - he knows this division like the back of his hand and with Nolan would bring the squad together and wheel and deal fantastically - Bowen, Paqueta were jewels he found and whilst his football can be mediocre he will get results and I think he will be really motivated for one last gig and sticking it up the hammers will drive him!
  8. might be a long wait
  9. Kasper could go onto be a great manager if he chooses too as he is bright and has more self awareness than his father who quite honestly is not as bright……he’s a truly great character and importantly a winner…..great listen !!
  10. I think this situation could be a win win for all parties - no way will we compete playing the Enzo way without an unbelievable summer transfer window and he won’t get the players we need but ultimately he has shown a huge weakness in flexibility. He may get a club which has the capacity to build his model - our board avoid some uncomfortable infrastructure and budget challenges. we get a pragmatic manager who will take some of the qualities he left us with winks, Fatawu, Hermansen but builds a more flexible and pace driven way to play without the ball - we need an experienced manager who is not stubborn! we all win IF the board find the right appointment - Moyes or Potter for me! it is ironic that BR won an FA Cup, got us in Europe and danced so much to get a Chelsea level job yet our foreign manager has one decent season and has clubs chasing him even though he is unproven - weird and although I despised BR’s self arrogance this guy is no better imo just move on and let’s go again we are LCFC and need not to be held to ransom by players or managers !
  11. It’s all relative - this lot have been successful in the Championship and several of them were part of the relegation debacle who genuinely are not good enough. we should enjoy this team and hopefully how it evolves in the next 2-3 years but the best team in our history was and will remain Wes and the gang - fact!
  12. Of course it does he’s the only striker we have who has and is proven in the premier league - he might only start 20 games but based upon the last 10 games he has looked as sharp in front of goal as ever - yes, he has missed chances (BCFC away) but his resilience to forget it and go again is top top drawer and he will not be intimidated by the top defenders and they will still be very wary of him - may create space which will be at a premium for others - it’s a complete no brainer tbh
  13. No chance ……Harris has them absolutely digging in at home……stoke away was a walk in the park….take a one nil now fear this is one without the right attitude could be a banana skin
  14. Personally I have mixed feelings in that without KP we would not have experienced anything close to the last 10 years and whilst there has clearly been poor decision making we have tried the impossible to break into the Top 6 - we did it briefly on a level no one will ever achieve again. The owner probably faces some very difficult decisions in the coming months and having the where with all to make some of those decisions will be challenging for anyone let alone someone who has loyalty as part of his upbringing and culture whilst memories of his father will also make that difficult. Whatever I still believe that KP deserve our backing and I for one like you find it very sad !
  15. Yes it is ……he had an awful game by his standards BUT he is still our best striker by a mile and one of the if not the best in the championship …….why in gods name you take him off having gone a goal down and not put Kel alongside or behind him I will never understand - Daka would not have scored any of the chances JV had and JV is not the reason we are not going up - he is one of the few since Xmas who has stepped up. Farke and McKenna have plan B’s and would have attacked even going a goal down with more than one striker. some of the emotional reactions are clap trap and JV is not the scapegoat ……the manager is and has been all season 2D and is out of his depth imo
  16. Utter rubbish
  17. It’s not uncommon in players stepping up to senior / men’s football and I think if they rest him to build him preseason he will kick on! It has definitely impacted upon his confidence and a good preseason will help him hopefully.
  18. No he didn’t he was way out of his depth …….we need to use the experienced players and they need to suck it up and grind us to wins…..business end of the season no time for youngsters being thrown in without having played minutes through the season
  19. Just got to the hotel having been to the game - credit to our lot as we made a fair amount of noise considering being up in the sky - I understand some of the negativity as the second half was painful but the boys dug in and ground it out -had we taken our chances in the first half the game would have been a stroll. my criticism would be Enzo not making changes around the hour as hamza, mavididi and kdh were out on there feet- a win is a win and Vardy yet again winds up the mackems - at the final whistle behind the goal and heading down the tunnel - he’s a legend and still has it although he looked out on his feet after an hour too ! same again on Saturday ugly but 3 points will do!
  20. I would take just going ahead at the minute in the league !
  21. Horrible team and definite defeat
  22. Okay I will bite ….is he really doing an incredible job? For me we have the deepest squad in the division and have had from the start of the season ……..undoubtedly we have won a lot of games but against teams you would expect with our squad …..we are definitely not getting better - less pressing, pace and dynamism and for me top drawer managers adapt and have plans b,c and even a d. EM I fear is stubborn and it was blindingly obvious today we were getting no quality out wide and aimlessly crossing for Cook et al to head clear was hopeless as everything was slow and ponderous with it all in front of there back four. Kel is the one player who offers something different and he leaves him out of the squad. My biggest concern is the manager and he is rattled and the next 6 games will give us insight into can he adjust - imagine being this predictable in the prem - down by Xmas! I desperately hope I am wrong but from the word go he has said we play one way and he has stuck by it!
  23. Utter waste of ink 🫣 - I know it’s statistics based but Claudio has probably achieved something no manager will do again outside the big 5/6 …..ridiculous!
  24. Lots of twists and turns left yet - Friday will be a good test to see how brave we are - last time we played these Kamara and Ampadu bossed our midfield and I fear that may happen again as Winks has just dipped and KDH is all over the place - the next 4 away games are quite testing and it’s the business end of the season. Let’s hope EM shows his tactical nouse and can be brave !
  25. Daka should be on the bench and Mavididi too - I think he will go Vardy rightly and Mcateer wrongly but he will want some cover and I think will set out not to lose - I hope I am wrong but we will see Massive week training and EM’s biggest test can he tactically stop Leeds and make sure we do not get overran - be a good insight into his tactics against a prem level side!
