The Doctor

not convinced that was a foul, that should have been 2-0

"we want to play like Man City", from a board that haven't watched football for 8 years

cross in, Ayew just makes it into the box by the time it's out for a throw. Sack Cifuentes and preemptively sack anyone who would give him a chance

the day Ayew leaves I'm having a ****ing party.

Not even joking, De Vries put in more effort

SK2 is basically just booing at the moment, another and it gets proper toxic

17 year old the only one showing for the ball. Just sack them all

absolutely pathetic again. just get the points deduction in and send us down

Id like to see it. Even if it's a position he's not played for two years, he should know it well enough, and even in the worst case we've got a more fluid and interchangable front three than anything else we've tried

more an oval peg in a circular hole. Not his main position but one he's played enough to be effective in. Like playing BdCR as a CAM despite historically being a winger

2 years ago when he came here

Mavididi played through the centre a reasonable amount in France

because I genuinely could not care less whether he shoves Soumare in there hoping for the one run a month he goes on, or picks an academy player in there, picks another full back and sticks Ricky in there, or gets Sam Tierney from the women's side to put on a fake moustache. Just not Choudhury

change the system instead like I said

square peg in a round hole rather than shifting to a 3-4-3 and getting Aluko as a proper wing back instead though. Like something along the lines of Stolarcyk Okoli Vestegaard Nelson Ricardo Page a.n. other cm Aluko Fatawu Mavididi Monga would be far better than whatever the hell this line up is

you know we'll try, right up until he takes a restraining order out against Rudkin like Potter. laughable that we could genuinely have had Frank or even potentially tempted Slot back in 2021 if we'd got rid of Rodgers after the Warsaw and Napoli debacles (at the time we were looking like European regulars and he was still just starting to establish himself), instead we're fishing in the stagnant pond of Gary Rowett level managers

driving the play like he drives his car, wildly and straight into some trees

We're also a better team when the alleged striker doesn't keep dragging himself out to the winger with the ball, bringing defenders with him and leaving no-one in the box. Anyone who can stand Ayew up top needs an intervention

Ayew and Choudhury, and continuing this ridiculous Nelson at left wing back plan rather than changing formation. Get him sacked

that would make a lot more sense. I thought it was instead of the stupid nickname Aiyawatt gave himself, like only a friendless loser would

yea but then you'll get posts like "can't bear another minute of Ayew playing up Aiyawatt"

eh, not really. The way it bounces makes it difficult to then still get the tip round on it, it span up towards his shoulder. As a keeper I'm putting the blame on that one on Choudhury, the right back who's still 10 yards outside the box when the goal goes in, having made zero attempts to track his runner

I do not understand the insistence on Sunday at noon. it clashes so perfectly with the kids leagues and is basically cutting a generation of match going fans out

very common trend with Cifuentes tbh. Like Stolarcyk has regressed more and more as his reign has gone on. Fatawu is basically a non-entity now rather than a championship cheat code like he was 2 years ago. Ricardo is looking worse and worse - never been the same since the injury but he showed under Enzo he had the brain to operate at this level. Monga has gone from ending premier league bloodlines at 15 to struggling to make an impact. Mavididi is basically non existent. Thomas is exploring new depths every week and has gone from looking like a low end championship full back to barely league two standard. I actually cannot name a single player that has improved with his coaching.

the first one? maybe this is just the keepers union in me but I'd be hard pressed to call that his mistake. It's a really well hit stinging shot which bounces in front of him, very difficult to hold. He's pushed it wide - the most it comes down to him is potentially shoveling it behind him for a corner or further wide, but that's very difficult because of that last second bounce and most keepers would have done the same thing he did - and it's then the fact that Choudhury at right back doesn't even attempt to get back into the box that leaves a free cut back, as well as Vestegaard and Okoli having the reaction speeds of slothes that gives the tap in
