If all players did the basics well, they’d all be decent players to be fair

Aaaa unlucky. If only the ball was more in front of him!

That’s a very good save

3 in the middle to stifle them and hit on the break as Gomes and lemina can cover the ground. Should allow us to be more compact and stay in the game longer I guess than playing a front 3 I guess? That being said the 3 in the middle hasn’t exactly been solid at all this year, so more theory...

That’s the one!

Probably the team i would’ve gone with, what would you have changed? Only real change is staying 4atb?

Reminds me of that centre back who got stabbed in the leg and was out for 9 months with a ‘gashed leg’ according to football manager. Name escapes we

With how he’s played and how little he’s played so far this season the fact we didn’t sell him when we could is madness

Potter would be a more exciting appointment IMV. Higher potential ceiling with atleast a bit of a track record to speak of. Definitely more of a progressive appointment than moyes, but not a left field punt

He can defend, not sure if it’s more concentration with him? As you said, he basically pockets Salah every time… Not adverse to going 3/5 at the back, 3 in midfield and play JSL and Cunha up top similarly to Jota/Raul. Obviously the midfield 3 have very different attribute to neves,mout etc...

Apparently 5 goals conceded from set pieces in 7 games. Whoever’s fault it is, that’s a shocking stat

I’d be saying 4 points really is absolute minimum. Seeing as most eggs have been placed in the ‘hard fixtures to start’ argument you have to be taking points (and not just two draws) from the latter 2 games. If you buy into that remit, Ofcourse

Lemina is a huge worry. He’s fallen off a cliff.

First time this has happened isn’t it?

Who’s available or has there been any links?

Rodrigo must be appalling in training to not get on

Interesting post
