I'd rather have Mavididi and Fatawu

What's likeable about someone who drops his best players, takes us away from a good style of play and then blames refereeing decisions for his own short comings?

Mavidid and Fatawu most both start. Please.

All of our defenders apart from Thomas have been apart of their countries national team set-up at senior level. It’s decent for a side in our position.

No one, that didn't happen. It was a joke.

Surely there must be some sort of insurance against injuries in Chelsea's favour with these contracts? Hypothetically, if Jackson has a career ending injury next season, surely he's not on their pay roll until 2033 still?

I don't understand how signing a striker wasn't a priority this window. I thought it would be number 2 on the list of priorities after replacing KDH.

Why pity? It's clear from Rodgers, Maresca and Cooper (his comments in the press about signing premier league experienced players) that our board are giving too much control to managers. It's his own doing.

I don't think I've disliked anyone associated with LCFC so quickly.

Drop two of your best players and sign a load of crap ones and yeah, that's what happens.

Yeah, to be honest you're probably closer to the mark with that assessment. It's more like we've gone from a style of play that encourages being bold and confident to one that inhibits confidence instead.

Dimitri Payet won the Reunion FA Cup in 2004 but nothing in Europe

I think we're more nervous playing this style of football than we would be playing one closer to what we were used to last season. Our players haven't sat in a low block for over 12 months and now Cooper is expecting it to be an effective method.

Where would he play, though?

People have said the same about Alves for years and he still hasn’t broke into the starting match day squad. Need to have patience with these young lads.

He's played for Cov before

Rolling three-year period, two of those years spent in PL.

I'm looking to get 4 tickets for this game, can anyone help please? Thanks

Registration deadline passed. Would have to wait until January to register.

Ricardo doesn't have the legs anymore to play as a wing-back in the Premier League.

This summer has been nail in the coffin for me. Farcical transfer window (not just us, but in general because of FFP) and there's no excitement about "what could be". We know we're going to struggle, and at the top end the title will go to Man City again with Arsenal and Liverpool chasing. It's boring for everyone.

Yep, especially when you think how structured we were last season. How can you dismantle a successful shape so quickly when you largely have most of the same players?

Hopefully he really steps up this season now he’s got this chance. Vardy’s last season and Edouard only a loan so if we get a 15+ goal season from him in the Championship then good chance he’ll be in the squad next season.
