And how can we do that when the board are writing a whole season off and seemingly one of our best players wants out? 

 

To compete and push to the next level the club absolutely cannot do what it has done this season, whether people like to admit it or not we are going to be spending the next few years in a bit of a wilderness whilst we rebuild. The club could have got a head start on that but depending on who you believe we are either skint or not skint but not spending money. 

West Ham have spent over 300m over the last three season (net spend), and are struggling to break into the top 6.

 

We are a similar size and history, have always had a rough parity with them in terms of league position and size. That they are investing that much to be at that level shows what is needed. We can only go backwards this season if we don’t keep improving and refreshing the squad.

 

LCFC sent an email out this week saying ‘end of an era’ - something to do with some new clothing they were trying to flog. However it does feel as though we are getting to the end of the recent amazing era of success.

Back to the thread…

 

My team:

 

Harvey Barnes, 10 others.

Vestergaard no matter how much is not a good deal and is not back up as doesn't suit Rodgers highline

Hmm, dunno. Not sure Rodgers fancies them much.

[whoareyaaa]

4-4-2 

                   Ward
 

    Castange Evans Soy Justin

 

Albrighton KDH Maddison Barnes

 

                Nacho

                    Vardy

 

Rodgers wouldn't have the balls to play this team but it would guarentee points and goals and clean sheets.

 

The midfield is too weak atm and players like Nididi and Youri need dropping, and the 3 atb system needs binning we don't have the players for it.

So you're saying this team and formation would win the league, fa cup, league cup and the champions league next season?

 

That's a grand claim.

You can tell it's been a slow week at the club with the media trying to drum something, anything up. Both Stringer and Piper chipping in tonight on twitter.

Just hope they know what they're doing with Barnes, only a week ago he was still getting a lot of irritation around the same knee he's had operated on twice. We badly need him though.

Where did I say that? 

 

Will certainly be better than what we churn out at the minute.

Mate of mine is a saints fan and is saying they’ll play a 5 too. Can see us passing around without penetration for 60 mins and getting done on the counter by a Theo Walcott goal.

Precedes to pick a team with Maddison and KDH as a double pivot  

I think it would work although having thought about it more you could bring Nididi in and move Madssion for Nacho and have Maddison as a 10 so 4-4-1-1 still would be a lot more effective 

 

Castange Evans Soy Justin

Albrighton KDH Nididi Barnes

                   Maddison 

                      Vardy

Vardy benched ?

Media will have a fcukin field day tomorrow at 2pm won't they

[wattolcfc]

Is there such a thing as a must win game this early in the season? If so, this is it. Confidence will hit rock bottom if we lose and some big games coming up.
