I was sat with Eire and we could not understand what was happening... Nothing that's what happened. That spanish coach was garbage.
I just want to see players in a balanced squad. Not six fecking wingers and no strikers. A lot will depend this season on who we bring in. A quality mid and striker are a must. Mcgurk can come into the squad after his performance at old toilet.
As milky just said the first 30 mins we were excellent, then tactically Palace made an adjustment and we lost our way. Roca & McKennie were awful second half as they were always too advanced for a pair supposedly playing as a double pivot. This left a massive gap between our back four and midfield which Palace exploited ruthtlessly. Not sure if anything happened at HT but it was like Roca & McKennie couldn't bear the sight of each other and didn't perform in any way shape or form. Roca conceded the foul just before HT which led to the equaliser so who knows maybe there was a falling out over that.
Seems we're still destined for the Top 6 and a tilt at the play offs this season. Odds before a ball was kicked 8/11 Currently 10/11
Yes and rumours of Ayling and Roca over a mobile phone. Security called to break it up blah blah blah.
Same. If we’d somehow survived relegation the rats would have downed tools this season instead so to put a positive spin on it we’re a year ahead of the curve
We're short as it is mate and possibly Sini and Summerville Hjelde to go too, we can't afford any more gone
Agree. We need a few in first but there are more that need to go imo long term. The likes of Meslier, Ayling, Struijk, Cooper, Firpo, Bamford, Gelhardt, Poveda, Shackleton, Greenwood are either past it or not good enough. We can upgrade on all those over the next two transfer windows. Obviously some of them have a chance to grab the shirt whilst we are short of numbers.
They'll do for where we are mate but if and when we go up, we would definitely need a much better squad.
Can't even begin to think about what we might need for the PL as the squad we have now would just get battered every week. As you say just concentrate on the now and make improvements all over the pitch whenever possible. Automatic promotion looking difficult already given what we currently have and it's looking like Leicester & Saints will fill those spots for me. That said glorious promotion through the play offs would be most welcome
The issue with promotion is the £100m of players we have out on loan. We need to deal with them before we can start trading again. The loans have held us back this summer and will handicap us next summer too whatever happens. It’s been a fook up mate. This season could be bolloxed and next summer going to be as bad
Womens football is officially shyt. Tried to watch but England were outplayed, outfought and outclassed. Spain deserved it because they were first to everything and scored a lucky goal. Some England players were very poor even Lucy Bronze who was shocking and at fault for the goal. Feel sorry for them but the BBC and politicians will be bigging them up and inviting them to the palace, No10 and Parliament etc. the facts though is that they have been nowhere near the form of last year and have still got to the final so fair play to them but ….. walked the dog and missed the 2nd half
