I won’t lie, I had to stop reading this after you tried saying that Ayew/Reid were cheap in comparison to Abdul and Stephy, in a positive way. You completely ignored that we needed pace on both wings to have any slim chance of staying up. Enzo ball was boring as hell but when it clicked it was about his two explosive wingers taking their full backs on/getting into dangerous positions. Ayew and Reid were both heinous signings for what we needed but let’s bemoan that Fatawu cost more 🤯

I can’t see that. He hardly a line up of suitors when available on a free last summer.

Great pod again. The shift from apathy to anger at the club was music to my ears as started to worry that I had an unhealthy disdain for how we’re being run. I know this season has been more apathy than anger but the Vardy era ending has shifted that IMO.

Don’t you worry, Top will come out and say that some people have said some mean things on social media to him 🙄

You actually have to laugh but it’s so true. You missed a pointless loan to some Italian club with them having no interest in taking the option of buying him.

Which would take forward planning and I genuinely can’t believe that our board has done that. More like a panic signing as JJ was getting pelters and clearly his form had reached a new rock bottom. If it was for the Championship season, would that entail that one of JJ or Ricky are expected to leave this window?

Reckon it is agree to disagree. Having played as a CM and CB, I can see what you’re talking about but you make it sound like a player like Coady or Mads who can see it all happening in front of them doesn’t/can’t talk to Wout. Coady needs to move him on to Cunha when he spots that he hasn’t been picked up by lazy Bouba. To be fair, I guess that I’m actually as annoyed at Coady too.

All good points but Coady/Mads who can see it pan out in front of them…need to move Faes on (edge of the 6 yard box) as on that still….he’s neither picking up Cunha or making the pass harder by cutting down the angle. Soumare and Ndidi as you say were/have been hideous all season too yet not had the same level of disdain on here. I just think if you go on Wout’s agents comments about “his amazing anticipation” then he has to be much less passive in that position.

You do realise that Alves is 19 right? Barnes and Chilwell at the same age were at loan at MK Dons and Huddersfield. Sorry that we get excited about Alves in the squad on a match day ahead of dross like Reid or Ayew.

Completely agree. Makes you wonder what they do in training. Soumare as a DM though doesn’t help and Ndidi is a shell of his former self.

Look at his positioning for the first goal. He’s marking absolutely no one. Also, Coady and his “leadership ability” can do one…he can see everything in front of him yet is on his heels and not commanding at all.

Don’t worry….we can keep rolling out such turgid football but Ruud should stay on, according to some on here. I actually hate Ruud and his utter lack of an ounce of management ability.

Ruud caught in the act motivating his players on the sidelines 🙈

Ruud starting Reid, Faes and Bouba today, after relegation has been confirmed is another big red mark against him. Reid offers zero threat. Faes and Bouba allegedly come out stating they don’t want to be here next season 🤮

They also brought in Brendan, who was great before he lost interest (albeit it our slump started when he was given too much influence) and Enzo. Sorry but the “careful what you wish for” with Ruud is a pretty weak case for him to stay for me. I’m with you though, that in an ideal world, Top sells up and the whole board is overhauled but we all know that it’s quite unlikely.
