Aribo/Page and Richards on for Monga and Mukasa at half time.

If someone bought the club I feel like it’s because they have the ambitions of getting us back to the Premier League and Seagrave would be a big selling point for them as part of that strategy. Doesn’t really matter though because I think we’re stuck with Top and King Power, unfortunately.

Yes

I don’t think any one will see this season as a successful one Its the worst it’s been in my lifetime

Can’t wait to see Daka come on at right wing again

Which he's not. It's like saying Ayew or Reid would have been quality at this level 5 years ago. Or Antonio when we were linked with him. I don't know where all these Lascelles fans are coming from. Newcastle fans like him now after he just happened to be there whilst being a fringe player during their new found success or having his hand held by a better player next to him. For years they ridiculed him, Darlow and Dummett for not being good enough. It might seem harsh but there is so much revisionism and blind optimism going on it's mental.

Don’t kid yourself. He is Coady, Ayew, Bobby Reid all over again. Player with no hunger, no resale value and big wage we’re going to be stuck with. We don’t learn.

Conor Coady 2.0

Mathys Detourbet. Similar style player to Cole Palmer.

Lineker as a presenter is quite obviously the most famous

I’d take the influence (I.e. hiring some of the people from their network or adopting the same principles again) but wouldn’t want them rebranding the football club when King Power have essentially done the same thing and it’s ended up in a self worshipping exercise with no accountability. Despite Leipzig’s quick rise, not all their fans are happy with RB’s control, particularly the ones who were fans of the original club.

No, a big part of what has gone wrong for us is that we’ve lost any kind of identity we had before.

Why on earth is Soumare not starting

Going into this season it was so obvious that playing to the strength of our wide men (due to a lack of threat up top) and protecting our centre halves deficiency’s was the key to us having any sort of success. Cifuentes game on game does neither of these. He’s lucky Jordan James and a few clutch moments has saved him from total embarrassment.

Difference with Justin was he was told to bomb on under both managers and then got overloaded down his side consistently on the counter. Thomas is just poor, even with Mavididi working back tracking his runner we still get exposed because Thomas will be out of position or lose his individual 1v1 duel.

Terms usually agreed before, will be clubs decision.

Should have been sold summer 2024 after two unsuccessful loan spells at Sheffield United and Boro. Played for a contract and conned us last season. This season he’s been terrible. Another poor squad building error. We should have had Kristiansen as back up last season and bought a proper left back on promotion.

Chelsea were missing their 3 best players and playing against Arsenal’s full strength 11 (minus Calafiori) and barring two individual errors, were on the brink of beating the best side in the country currently. Rosenior hasn’t changed much from Maresca early on, but there were subtle tweaks that helped get them close to a positive result. He’ll be competent.

Liam Rosenior will be a successful manager. People just want passion merchants all the time that don’t have a clue about tactics.

He’s an efficient passer, has good ball carrying ability, a high number of defensive contributions (particularly higher up the pitch) and often times third man runs into the opposition area from deep well.

This narrative keeps going around that he’s very average. I don’t understand it. He’s a Champions League level football player in his role as a high-energy midfield player (not if you’re asking him to dictate a game of football).

Performed well in the league before, don’t see any reason why not. Think the physicality and speed of England was too much for him to cope sometimes. He’s not the biggest or the fastest and lacks concentration. One of his biggest strengths is his ball playing ability, he’ll get plenty of time in Ligue 1 to show this.
