I agree with this. Especially the bit about Ayew. His strength and abilities to hold the ball versatility etc are useful and offer something different. I’m not sure I’d describe Fatawu as maverick. Yes he has the inconsistency that comes with his age but he is a rare talent. Once he settles into this division he will be the fire.

Or skipp. Has to be one of the three defensive midfielders (Skipp Winks or Ndidi to clarify)

Yep. To be fair they were very decent. Onana is a real handful as was mcginn. Tielemans. Well we know what he brings. Showed his class a few times. He looked trim and up for it.

Agreed but we just don’t have time to spare unfortunately. He needs to get mavs back in on the LW and bring in some creativity to midfield. Either BN or BEK depending on how the latter settles this week. Ayew and skip worked hard and showed up yesterday but decisions have to be made to get the balance right. Riccardo not playing is baffling. I hope there is a good reason as to why. Interesting to see how he introduces edouard. I think cooper is just trying to stay tight and aggressive first half of games and then bring on more creative players later on. Previous managers have tried the reverse. I think he just needs to find the middle ground with a balanced selection and get the team to gel and work for each other. There are some promising signs on the teamwork side which bodes well. Can’t fault the team much for effort yesterday.

I’m shocked. RIP big man.

You know honestly I was quite impressed with that game. Tranmere weren’t that bad given their standing and they had one or two decent players. But yes he played with more confidence and presence then. Good he carried that on today.

He has to get the right balance in the team. Likewise substitutions to correct in play and inbalance and effect tactical change as needed. Seems everyone was saying the same in the crowd today. Frustrating. on the plus side. Players gave it all today. Mavididi for example came on today with a point to prove and really went for it. Fair play. That spirit will be hard to keep up unless we get the balance right and start getting some wins.

I haven’t been his biggest fan but he played with a lot of determination today and got forward quite well. He can be loose with some of his passing and can be turned too easily at times but he was better today. He doesn’t have blistering recovery pace but he showed again a willingness to fight and keep going which should earn him time to improve in these areas. I like his first time low crosses. Something others could try sometimes.

I thought this was his best game for us today. He seems to be much more at ease with the pace of the game and more in tune with his team mates. Something that will continue to improve with time together. He looked assured and powerful.

Me too. I saw a lot of positivity in the game today with the exception being the starting lineup. But that only needs a few changes to improve. That said I thought the starting eleven did their best and were not bad by any means. Officiating was so frustrating. The game needs to sort that out.

I agree. I’d rather sign him than no one. Just hope we get a good deal. He might do a job here under Cooper.

Was he talking about Arsenal or us?

Same here.

I hope he doesn’t hang a leg out like he does with his tongue.

Every time I’ve seen Nelson play I have been very impressed. I’m a bit surprised we haven’t used him more but this loan will certainly help his longer term development. Good luck Ben. Smash it.

Great news. I’m really excited to see what he can do on the pitch. I thought buonenotte looked great against spurs though. If this guy can trump that we have got someone special.

Thanks for all you did for us Marc. You will not be forgotten here and best of luck for the future whatever that may bring.

Happy with that.

Apart from the one who should know best.

Not that poor if he is a plumber!

I hope Riccardo and Mavs get start now on Saturday. Like this formation too.

Winks has show his class tonight. Great goal. What a great signing.

Great Cross by Alves. Looks lively.

Glad he is giving our kids a runout. I’m surprised Nelson doesn’t get a go. He is the most likely to feature in the near future I reckon or maybe Alves.

Thank god. About time.
