He really is. Watch how he opens his body up to receive a pass, how can a professional footballer be so bad at the basics?

They were booing Soumare, who was breaking forward and then put his foot on the ball and went backwards.

Foul throw 🤬

Sadly more than one. Bouba is one of the worst ever players that I’ve seen play for us. He just doesn’t seem to care and has the football intelligence of my three year old.

I really like Bilal but think that if he does go, we’re not going to get the £35m that a lot on here seem to expect.

Has Bilal touched the ball yet?

The problem with Jannik, Bouba etc starting, is their connection with the dross and downfall of our signings/performances.

Who knew that Chalobah was at Sheff Weds? We were linked with him for about 23 transfer windows, weren’t we?

Totally agree. We’re a shambles of a club. When you take the emotions out of it, you have to laugh at how “businessmen” have the lack of ability like Top and Rudkin appear to have.

Alves’ limited minutes in pre-season, aren’t that much of a mystery now are they? I thought that he looked quite good in his last appearance too.

They don’t have a well documented points deduction hanging over them to be fair. We’re a joke of a club but if the £18m fee is right, based on Mads’ performance pre and post injury, it’s probably the right fee. I hate Top and Rudkin as much as the next guy, but there are no obvious signs that they’re going anywhere, so I’m trying to just care less about everything LCFC.

I got annoyed about Ayew being 9 but then quickly thought, will it be a blessing for the next number 9? They’ll be compared to Ayew rather than Vardy 🤔

I really liked Mads but sadly due to us being such a parody of a football club, we had to move him on. Jakub is more than good enough at this level, I just hope that he has the confidence to play as that sweeper keeper, as will be needed when teams park the bus against us.

I’ll say it very quietly, Skipp has been better today.

Fatawu has been so good today 😍

Great reply to be fair. My biggest bugbear is that Marti hasn’t been as vocal about his number 9 holding the ball up for his wingers, like he has about his high press etc. I don’t want Daka as our main striker but if it’s between him and Ayew, I’d personally have loved to try to boost Daka’s confidence by saying you’re my guy (for now).

Soumare to stay?! 🤯

Marti has commented on high press on more than one occasion since being here. Ayew is the antithesis of a player that can press. I shouldn’t be surprised, we haven’t pressed collectively as a team in years 🤮

I hope that you’re right but thought at this stage of pre-season, that his starting 11 would get the first hour.

So an over paid cheerleader? Considering Coady was likely paid more than any of the managers during his time here, all of those “benefits” for a club in financial difficulties, probably highlights why we’re in such a mess as a club.

I haven’t slagged him off but his social media post after the Wolves game was poor at best.

Must be one of the hottest posts in a while, which is quite damning of his time here. My happiest takeaway from it all, hopefully one less “senior” player blocking the pathway for our academy lads. Nelson, surely is our first choice CB now and him with Okoli, or even Faes at this level is surely one of the best pairings in the league?

You read my mind. Page will hopefully get more minutes than expected because he offers this at least.

This sounds too good to be true doesn’t it? He’s going to be here like the rest and leave next summer, with a loyalty bonus too 🤮

Great pod as usual gents.
