This is our usual u18s labelled as the u21s is it not?

Thomas is fine in this clip, he was supporting Monga with the fullback and trying to cover the winger. The space that the pass is made into should be covered by Vestergaard or Winks, neither are offering anything defensively in this clip. Faes as well is at fault for losing his man.

Let's be fair if the rest of them were as good as him we would have stayed up. The fact that he played to a decent level after spending the season playing with Ayew and Reid on the wings is around as much as you can expect from any talent, only truly world class players like De Bruyne would have produced any output in that team.

Pelle Mattsson for £2.5mil is looking like a steal. Our midfield is crying out for that level of defensive workrate.

Looks fine in the training footage. When asked about Nelson in the post match talk Cifuentes said he didnt want 2 centrebacks on the bench and didnt mention an injury. It's pretty much confirmed he's fit and ready to play but he's just out of favour.

He's been played as a striker recently and has been playing well and scoring. Dont think it makes sense to punish him because he has the talent to play multiple positions, if anything it should work in his favour.

Evans is the U21s striker and Hutchinson is the U18s striker despite Evans being younger. Why do you think that Hutchinson is more ready to make the step up? Personally id rather have both of them as our options up front rather than Ayew and Carranza anyway but i think Evans is currently the better player with the higher ceiling.

At least with Carranza struggling we are more likely to see Evans be given a chance. Would certainly back Evans more than Carranza with the 1 on 1 with the keeper today.

70% of our goals this season are outside the box screamers

I dont think he's better than Page was for us. Would rather Page be involved.

Joseph Corden according to google, assist by Motsi

Both are good players. If El Khannouss wasnt such a ***** i would have liked to see them play together.

Hopefully Ramsey coming on instead of Skipp will be the difference.

Oh no, Faes has lost his last braincell

jordan james is pure sex

Not injured according to him being fine in the training videos. It just hasnt updated as he hasnt been on the bench since

Him and Page do seem to be prone to getting hacked down by opposition out of frustration at this level.

Also Amani Richards has been putting up numbers lately, didnt have a good loan but he looks to have kicked on recently, just needs to sort out his decision making. If he can get a league 2 loan in January that would be ideal.

Didnt watch the game but i see that we took off Aluko and didnt replace him with any other defenders? If that's the case not sure that's the fault of the defenders that we conceded those three at the end there, more the manager for leaving us short at the back.

This is hilarious in the context that Faes and Vestergaard have cost us points in the last 2 games and consequently Cifuentes's future as a manager here has been under scrutiny. Faes and Vestergaard have never and will never secure the future of the manager they play for, only jeopardise it. Even Maresca was being questioned at the end of last championship season when Faes was having a brainfart every week and made us lose our 17 point lead.

Didn't he leave Man United due to them being a crazy mess. Not sure he would want to come here then.

We're predicted 3rd but based on our performance so far they put us 20th in the league. So this supports the relegation narrative more than anything.

Is it improvement or are we just playing in a worse league?

He's so bad that he's single handedly fueled a new found appreciation for Daka among our fanbase.

If im wrong and the likes of Nelson, Aluko, Page, Evans etc shouldn't be in involved/have no immediate future with us then we are royally screwed as a club. I choose to believe there is at least some hope for rejuvenation through our academy players as the alternative of being stuck with our senior pros is looking bleak.
