He's brings nothing to the team. Last season JJ showed how superior he was to him and now Braybrooke is doing the same. If we can't get rid of him, he should be used as a squad player not an automatic starter. Bring Page in for him and have a Sammy/Page CM.

Dont really keep on top of what's going on in the cricket, so didn't know this was on. I definitely would've taken my youngest to watch it.

Systems aren't superior or inferior, it's the players that are trying to play them. Man City spent over Billion £s getting players that can play Pep's way. Can we do that, obviously not. Sadly for managers like Russell, their brain cannot process what their eyes are seeing. That's why he thinks guys like McCarthy, Okoli, Luke, Soutter, Skipp, Bobby, etc can play his way, its just a matter of time, when all evidence shows they can't. The money's not there and neither are the players, but Russell is delusional and won't face upto this reality. It's very sad watching KP destroy our club.

Just heard him talking about needing more experienced players in his post match interview. This guys just another Cooper, get rid before we spend money we don't have on "experienced" journey men.

Cooper and his need for PL experience, led us into getting Ayew, Bobby and Skipp, 3 completely useless players. Now Russell has done the same with Cullen and the GK. When are we going to learn.

I'm amazed that Top, who witnessed us achieving the impossible, by playing fast and direct football, has become so obsessed with this slow, possession nonsense. We all know what's going to happen, Russell is going to get the sack. The only question is in which league, this one or the Champ.

Russell said that Faes as well as Mavididi have interest from other clubs, that's why they weren't playing.

Need to try Aluko there until the Man City guy is finally able to play.

All this rubbish about needing experienced players. What do Burns, Cullen and Bobby offer over Carr, Page and Otchere?

He's been the same throughout pre season. The invisible man

Hes never going to have the right players unless he goes to Man City or Arsenal and has a billion to spend.

Poor performance and our recruitment hasn't seemed to have improved. Burns, Cullen completely anonymous. The GK was shit too.

Him, Burns and the GK, all players we've brought in have looked poor.

Did he just say "we" when referring to us.

What's the point of Skipp. Everytime he gets the ball, plays 2yr passes backwards or sideways.

Hes the only one that's passing the ball forward. Made a beautiful 30-40yrd cross field pass.

Seeing all our academy players showing what they can do in pre season, certainly made me feel positive. Now, seeing the same tired players like Okoli, Skipp, Mavididi, Bobby, not so much.

I know nothing of him, but his wiki says midfielder.

Being replaced by Harry Howells from Brighton. Great thinking, replace your own academy graduate, by developing an 18yr old loanee from another club

Perfect for us and him if this happens. Mavididi doesn't want to be here and has been shocking for the last 2 seasons, and we've got plenty of cover with Alves and Woyo able to play on the LW, alongside Watson.

We've favourites on paper but whether we do is dependent on Russell. Even Maresca found the backend of the Champ difficult as teams found ways around his gameplan. Russell will need to be adaptable within his possession heavy system, or we'll get found out.

Villa did very well out of Youri. Got him for free and sold for 35M. We on the other hand lost 40M.

This guy is the benchmark to how shit our recruitment team is. They've managed to get an Italian CB, that can't defend, pass, or have any reading of the game. Any offer is too high.

Those few inches make all the difference.......so I'm told.
