Sums up our time under Big Sam, solid defense but disgusting ball control & forward half pressure.

We just hoof the ball up instead of actually trying to gain possession and move around the pitch.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Pickford and the young defenders the only shining light in that god awful performance

Kenny and Holgate were solid

Good to see Bolaise back though

Only watched the second half, wish I didn’t.

I watched the Spurs game and then watched all of our game. Should have gone to bed

Need to get rid of Williams in Jan

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Who are we hoping to sign in Jan, guys?

Steve Walsh’s exit papers if we don’t sign a left back, left winger & striker within the first 3.71 hours of the transfer window opening

Garbutt will be eligible for registration now as the window for that opens again.

Will help instead of playing someone there out of position, but we need better anyway.

Redshite showing us up yet again, VVD already announced. Cenk Tosun from Besiktas most strongly linked with us, some reports deal already agreed so that would be a good step forward if announced early

I'm okay with not brining in a winger, I'd like to see Vlasic and Lookman get more chances and we've got Bolasie back now.

A left back and striker are a must, a CB (or two) are still massive on the priority list but I'm alright with going into the end of season with what we've got, there's no real point bringing in defenders until Jags and Williams are moved on, realistically we're not going to sell two CB's and then buy two new CB's.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Can we now criticise big sam?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

In Cenk we trust.

Can we now criticise big sam?

Meh, he's only a stopgap, and we knew he'd produce defensive footy. I'd be concerned if we kept him longer than this season.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Will quantify by saying that, yes, his tactics over the past 2 matches against poor sides have been disappointing. Why you'd start tonight with 3 defensive midfielders is beyond me a little.

 

[Bradesmaen]

We are keeping him for another season and he's in charge of transfers.

I'm not convinced he'll be at the helm next season, contract or not. Are you?

 

[ossie_21]

Bournemouth deserved the win as they played out til the end to win the game, we held out to take another away point. Not good enough again, won’t be surprised to play United into good form in a few days

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Hoping Cenk gets announced today and then trotted out at HT during the Man Utd game tonight.

What’s this I read about Sam allowing Niasse to leave during Jan? Our Sweet Prince cannot leave us now.

Cenk to arrive next week.

Watched a replay of this mornings game and I thought we did alright in the first half, got smashed early in the 2nd half with a mini come back that was dispelled by Lingard.

Glad I didn’t get up to watch it, although I woke at half time & was tempted to. Seen both goals, typical crackers we seem to concede against them.

Our board & coaching staff are deluded if they think just a striker will solve the problem of not scoring, as we aren’t really creating the chances to score. Tough with so many games close together, but we need another attacking mid/winger and a left back to help out going forward desperately. Martina clearly not comfortable playing there but is defensively quite solid, but scared to leave his own half.

Kenny needed a rest, but Holgate sounded exposed also playing out of position. Seamus still sounds months away reading between all the lines, left & right backs needed please. 2 strikers if we let Sandro leave, 3 if we also let Niasse leave. Hard to do in January!!!

 

[BotsMaster]

Why are we letting Niasse leave?

 

[ossie_21]

Why are we letting Niasse leave?

A few different stories regarding Tosun have said Niasse will be allowed to depart. May be false, who knows these days

 

[ossie_21]

Turkish media saying Tosun fee agreed for €27m euros, about 24m pounds. Hope this risk is worth it!

 

[Bradesmaen]

Can't exactly say I'm excited by the signing.

Who would you have liked us to sign?

 

[Bradesmaen]

Who would you have liked us to sign?

A striker from a better league who is scoring at least 1 in 2.

Back to being a bottom 10 side now with Barkley sold. Going backwards at a rate of knots, won't surprise me if Moshiri turns and runs.
