To think there was a small number of fans that didn't rate him. Should be on a register
Hugo Bueno has scored one that is close and only been denied another by a brilliant save by Pickford.We don't have anyone capable of scoring even one of those goals now.

One of the biggest differences between this season and last is we don't have Cunha scoring goals out of nothing. We haven't been a side that creates much since before Covid, but stripping out those that can offer a moment of brilliance and not replacing them has been the ultimate downfall.We don't have anyone capable of scoring even one of those goals now.
The new coach added to Nuno's team really doesn't rate him at all. The argument he had with Nuno was over the decision to bring Max on to help see out a game.Kilman gets thrown in there as well, but who wouldn't have taken that £40m? Incidentally the last league game he started was against us back at the start of January.
we are going down not because of the players we have sold, but the players we have bought.
It isn’t just Cunha’s goals we miss, it’s his and RAN’s ability to carry the ball up the pitch we miss. With the two of them in the team we were able to get the ball forwards quickly, now apart from the very occasional ball to Tchatchoua we seem incapable of getting forwards either quickly or in any planned way.One of the biggest differences between this season and last is we don't have Cunha scoring goals out of nothing.

There's a general perception in the media that we are going down because we've sold our best players, but if you look who they've gone to - Utd, City and Chelsea most recently, you aren't retaining them and neither do the likes of Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth or Palace. It's just a lazy screenshot to put up, Kilman gets thrown in there as well, but who wouldn't have taken that £40m?

We all know this, but we spent north of £100m last Summer, we are going down not because of the players we have sold, but the players we have bought.
I suppose Arias was supposed to fill that void. But he was shite.It isn’t just Cunha’s goals we miss, it’s his and RAN’s ability to carry the ball up the pitch we miss.

Almost erased him from my memory already! Weird how he came so highly rated yet was less effective in terms of output than Guedes which is quite some achievement. At least he looked like he gave a toss.I suppose Arias was supposed to fill that void. But he was shite.
I think RAN is the bigger miss, his ability to take a shit pass from sa or a cb and then progress the ball forward was great for us. All we do now is try and encourage Jackson to run and then lose the ball.
