El Kanouss seems sharp, certainly when he closes down ( or should I say presses).

Survive? I’d argue we’d make the playoffs with -9, and I’m pessimistic.

Can anyone explain what the EFL have on us re punishment? Did the sale of KDH and Enzo money within that financial year exonerate us from EFL hit or is it more historical? it seems folk on here know it to be a certainty, is it?

January’81, you never know.

Those booming Elliot diags would be welcome now. Our centre halves daren’t ping it.

Because if he was going the injury would be stretched out if big money was on the table. Probably wrong though but PSR book balancing will be required in Jan if we’re to bring in the quality and quantity. Obviously I don’t want him to.

Doesn’t matter if someone comes in and buys the club, PSR has ruined the chance for us and any smaller rich club to compete by spending. Even Newcastle can’t spend!

If Mads is out for Liverpool I reckon he’s off to Chelsea to fund our January transfer needs.

We’ll miss the control that Winks gives us, Mads less needed in a worse league but missed never the less. Mavadidi’s lollipops can be replaced although he did well in the championship, my opinion of him last season was always skewed with the fact that he wouldn’t cut it in the Prem imo. We need a couple of years in the second tier to build with youth maybe?

I remember the 80/81 season. Mighty Liverpool as they were then, hadn’t lost at home for about 3 years or so. A very average but young and hard running City went up there and won 2-1, a result much more unexpected than the one coming up on Boxing Day. We were the worst team in the league then too. It won’t happen with this lot because they don’t work hard enough and modern coaches don’t go man to man and stop teams playing.

Sadly I think money from Mads is going to fund transfers in Jan.

Yes we’re dreadful, yes we’re going down, yes the gap is massive between leagues, but we’ve only lost KDH from our title winning squad so why wouldn’t we come back up? Look at Sheff U who were worst than us last season.

It’s unfortunately Cooper ball with a more handsome coach! 4-4-1-1 would be better than this shite, asking fullbacks with no quality to play like wingers is a disgrace. Either sign two wing backs or take the pressure off them and ask them to defend only. Villa seem to do ok playing it. Yes their full backs are better and get forward more but essentially they are mainly 4-4-1-1. Wolves started so poorly, couldn’t pass water and we didn’t trouble the worst team to come here.

Welcome Enzo. All about the system.

The worry to me is that the system appears to be exactly as Cooper set us up. A full back who can neither attack or defend asked to go high up the pitch where ( though we don’t have one) a winger should be. We may indeed get tanked every week but if we set up ala Enzo, 2 wingers and 2 number 8’s . It would suit us better. Can’t believe we didn’t play the Enzo system from the start of the season. Goodnight and the very poor Mavadidi could be the wide men , although they might not threaten they would occupy the fulll backs at least!

I’d swap him for Grey, or Perez, that’s how far we’ve dropped off it.

We should have a bad feeling against anyone except Southampton.

Yes, two yellows for laddering a player’s tights and it’s an immediate ban. Go figure that one!

Better than what we have, and cheap no doubt.

Thanks for that, been up many times, you live in a great City.

I’d have been happy with keen and runs about a lot three weeks ago, when nobody ran or looked very keen!

Hurzeleler out? Who do they think they are! Our chant yesterday should have been 100 years and you’ve won f*** all !!

He started badly and then deteriorated!

I’m always there till the death, as for the leavers, serves ‘em right!

I remember the shock Liverpool win when he played fantastic at centre half. He reads it well and would be a better bet than Faes.
