I don't think we will go down but sadly at the moment that's how good we are. We aren't a top 10 Prem team. We're still in around the bottom 6-7 teams in this league and will be fighting a bottom half/Relegation finish. I think Jesse's signings have been decent, but he needs time to sort the rest. you can't just have an overhaul because of different reasons. We have to remember we have lost probably our two best players in Phillips,Raph. that in itself is a game changer. We started well but now in a sticky patch but still have seen signs of being good enough in that spell. For me it's inconsistency we can look two different teams in a match which is a major problem. When we are on top, we don't finish the job then the opponent can change it up to improve the situation, so far, we haven't been able to do that and that is Jesse's job to find the answers. Are we better than last season I'd personally say yes, thing is we have been inconsistent and not been clinical enough. I'd defo give Jesse the season and give him the two windows to see what he can do but I'm not expecting miracles, nobody should our league campaign is the bottom ten not the top ten our aim at this moment in time is to finish in the top half of that. There's going to be bumps along the way and we are certain to lose more than we win but that's where we are. What I want to see from Jesse is a positive change of plan when things are not going right in an offensive aspect. it's all well going 5 at the back when protecting something but it's not a game changer it's holding on. We need to see him start outwitting other Managers in game time when things are not going well as at this moment quite a few are doing it to us and turning a game when we are on top.
Siddas when the likes of Lampard can outwit Marsch its time to worry. It seems every team we face can change things to stifle our game, Villa made us look a rabble, Brentford not long ago was a guaranteed 3 points. We now have a crucial week ahead, Arsenal, Leicester and Fulham. Lets see how we perform and how many points we get
Got a top striker, you can make something out of nothing with one of them Sadly, we hardly ever have a firing, fit and inform bamford. There's no doubt he's a top boy when he's ticking all those boxes, Sadly it's not often enough
There's no equanimity at Elland Road. Major floors in our squad have not been addressed, leaving gaping holes in our line up.
I think we should sign a forward I'd rather give Joesph, Perkins, Gnonto or Joffy 20/30 mins if either of them are on form. We need to see who can handle the step up, if any at all because we probably won't be signing a striker
Watched Marsch floundering at his presser as most questions revolved around strikers. He will probably start a not fully fit Bamford over Rodrigo who has 4 goals. I appreciate he sees Bamford as his main striker for his system, but he was shyt last week and was given Friday off so he doesnt overwork. If Bamford misses another sitter he will get battered and so too will Marsch
I agree and think we may see a quick exit of Gelhardt. Maybe loan him out or sell. He just does not look the part along with summerville. Remember it's part of Rads plan to develop and sell on players. Gnonto and Perkins need trying out at a higher level. League cup may be the time.
We've only won 4 out of the last 15 games against Brentford so no, it hasn't been a guaranteed 3 points. Quite the contrary. We hadn't played for a month against Villa but were much improved at Palace. I know you don't like Marsch but let's not start making things up.
He wasn't floundering. He was saying Paddy has been banging the chances away in training and in the 21's and as long as he keeps getting the chances then the goals will come. That sounds like very logical thinking. The fans are floundering whilst the coaches seem to be keeping their heads imo.
Este whats the media saying about Barcelona being knocked out of the CL? My understanding is that they budgeted for reaching the quarter finals and everything better than that is bunce. However being knocked out early doors must drop them further into the poo
