Preaching to the choir there. Thought he was a bad signing at Champ level. Mad that he's now starting for us in the Prem. He's got to be brown nosing his way in!

But in this system it's not as simple as saying it's his side. That implies that it's where he should be, but given he's supposed to be getting forward and attacking, when that's happening Coady is the RCB of a back 3. He (Coady) is supposed to cover that side along with one of the CMs if the opposition win possession and quickly transition up the pitch.

Yeah but he might as well be on holiday.

On Bassey. Exactly. We wanted him to stay and to play as a CB, he got it in his head that he was a fullback, left us and changed to a CB. We can't hold players against their will. Even if might be in their best interests.

Not by him.

But that doesn't work. JJ was our RB today, he just pushed up the pitch as RvN wants the fullback to get on the wing and the "winger" comes inside. If you play JJ at right wing AND an RB, which of Bilal or Buo are you dropping? Cos we aren't allowed to play 12.

Vards jumping into the shot of Ruud celebrating! Class!

Fxxcking hell Faes!

Who ironically couldn't catch a cold!

Coady did something!

They'll find a way to complain about whoever isn't playing. And who is this Luke Warm character? Centreback?

People will find a way to complain.

In fairness to him he has played a role higher up and we've still had problems down our right side that aren't down to him.

JJ again, Good lad.

Ok. So. Comfortable lead. Don't give Winks the ball. Anywhere.

Ooh pen. Unlucky for the lad.

100% we don't have a proper defensive midfielder. And it's questionable if Wilf is still up to that role. The 2 worst players for us today are Winks and Coady imo. With JJ moving up field and our defence going to a 3, Coady has covered the space JJ would usually have occupied and he's been crap. Winks gave the first goal away covering that area too. We need a DM (or just a competent CM) that knows when to cover that space AND can do something with the ball instead of playing the opposition in. Your spiel on Soumare though is well wide of the mark.

We were linked with him under Enzo but his assault came to light and all the rumours of us and others understandably died a death.

Was literally going to just say that now we have a comfortable lead we just need to keep cool heads and not let complacency creep into our play. And then Winks. So he's at fault for both goals now under no threat at all.

It's not exactly all Bilal though is it? Mav won the ball in the first place. Though I agree, he is special. Could do with a few more of his ilk in this window.

Nice goal that. Stepped up a bit.

Well done Mav. Well nicked, well finished.

?

Coady fxxks it again somehow getting outmuscled by a midget.

Was it flagged though?
