Ric Flair

I thought he was absolutely appalling 1st half but he did get more involved wnd half without being a hindrance. Mavididi was much more electric though at a time where losing Bounanotte and that long injury made us lose our momentum. Mavididi to start on Saturday please.

Yeah, although we do seem to give the media the slip on certain transfers.

Possibly one of the most disciplined performances I've seen from him.

Current concerns: Marginalising of Ricardo Fitness levels and injuries look suspect early days Obsessed with Premier League experience Mingin' on the ball Not having Alves in the squad Current positives: Fast counter attacking football Talks honestly Sweats as much as I do

Cooper just alluded to us hopefully being close on an attacker/s. It'll be Ayew won't it 🥸

Alves as back up to him would not be the end of the world. Go and get Reiss Nelson on loan and use the rest of our budget on Fotis and we'll cause teams problems. Very very impressed with him.

He's honest. Suits counter attacking football. Good 2nd half, will do him the world of good.

Utterly tragic we've picked this norris as our manager

Praying for a power cut at home

Not picking Ricardo is up there with the shit Puel tried to pull with Vardy. Hopefully Cooper will be gone in a matter of weeks too.

Can't even make the bench when we're down to the bare bones on attackers, hopefully Cooper is sacked soon but it'll be post the transfer window closing and Alves will likely be on loan by then.

Yeah I spotted his run at the end of last season and has started this season domestically and in the European qualifiers well. I'm keen

Might be worth going through the list of players Cooper used when England U17 manager as it's quite clear where a lot of our targets are being driven from. Scary the club are being led in this way.

This is the long and short of it.

£15m

No dount can't afford that but can afford £25m for Skipp.

Still looks an unbelievable human being doesn't he.

Wonder if another DOF here would have managed to sell any of our players running their contracts down to Saudi in the last few years?

I'd imagine so, think behind close door fixtures happen regularly.

KDH under Brendan was used in a slightly different role to say under Enzo but he was still very much involved in the attacking third, often pressing in a front two as well.

I've got asbestos hands, none of this even computes to the nerve endings anymore. Whatever, on to the next one.

Nelson in to play that LW role that under Cooper would operate more centrally would be a great piece of business. It's going to cost us though. Big loan fee and Arsenal top up his wages or we pay them £20m and they use some to buy him off.

I missed it. Would be brave to throw him in after over a month out but needs must.

Hope so, otherwise it's Mavididi or Reid as a false 9. Grim

Winks will need to be braver on the ball if so. There was the ingredients of a player confident in the final third in his early 20's but he's eased off that mindset and you can tell. Would love it if he had one of those random seasons where he becomes a bagsman
