Transfer Rumours Let's ignore the big ****ing elephant and blame the latest manager, again. Are we nearly there yet?

Goal keeper ain’t the problem. We struggle across the whole pitch. We have great players to never to lose to Grimsby. As far as I can remember, teams have always scored against us. But we would come back so strong.

The system of 3 at the back isn’t suited to football in the country, but the manager knows best so he’ll keep playing it until….

 

You clearly didn't see last night's game.

Or the Europa league final.

Or the CL group stages under Ten Hag.

He literally costs us games, big ones. Often.

 

The man who selected him cost us the game!

Every game will now become a psychological warfare. And every time we have entered one of these as a club in recent years, the results have consistently remained the same, or far worse. We have spent a lot of money, and if we don't start performing, we will begin to face a financial crunch.

I genuinely fear for the club.

 

A bad keeper is like a contagion, a lack of confidence at the back stops defenders from moving forward - a key element in Amorim's strategy and from that point forward his entire system fails. Look back in time, you didn't see Bruce, Vidic or Stam hovering near the 18 yard box - did they bollox, they knew their keep-r had complete mastery of the box, it was their role playing out to move the ball to attacking players - Onana is like a **** magnet, he hesitates, he draws the opposition towards him and reduces the safe space into which forward balls could be played - for all the percentage losses at risk, any keeper these days would be as well hoofing it up field - the risks of losing possession on the halfway line carry far less a risk on goal of faffing about the 18 yard box and inviting an immediate threat on goal
