What I could take from tonight’s £10 thrilling viewing was Mukiele and Masuaku look good. (They should) Isidor actually looks really comfortable and good on the wing. 442 should never be used unless it’s a switch up during the game Guiu looked how I expected a player with no pre season to look. Thought he scored a class header though Rigg, I do worry about him. I thought it was burnout last season but he looks the exact same perfomance wise Neil… just a proper drop in quality imo if we have to put him in for Xhaka for a game or so
He keeps saying he's already done that ... ... don't blame me if he hasn't. It was just a simple question.
I really do try not to pick sides on here with the quite obvious rift that's been created, but it does feel a naive to think anyone would believe you quoted it to ask an innocent little question and not start an argument as per usual. Anyways I've a busy day tomorrow so early night for me, hopefully no responses to this when I wake up.
don’t care about the cup but what is clear is that some that played tonight are no where near and our squad depth is not good enough 3/4 players needed
You clearly believe exactly what you want to believe. I asked a simple question, that's all. If people are happy with what they've previously posted I can't see the problem you're obviously trying to create. It was just a question, OK?
Should have won easily, first half was absolutely shocking tbf but second half was a lot better. Busy week ahead
I think most people knew, when the team was announced, what kind of game it would be tbh. It did highlight who could expect to be included in the match day squad and who couldn't. I was impressed with four of this team and, tbh, that's not a bad return ... ... I think they'll all play a part whereas others may go on loan or leave altogether.
I agree and what disappointed me more was that after 20 25 mins I said to my son Isador can't play with his back to goal get him out left and Roberts right and put Rigg in behind them. That's what happened 2nd half and we were a different proposition. It should have been done sooner surely someone on the touchline could see it and change it without waiting till half time. I'm not saying I get things right usually but good grief it was obvious. Disappointed with the management team. Apologies thought i was on the match day thread. Senior moment.
I’m obviously not objective as I watch that game and thought Neil was decent and amongst our best players (especially considering he was hung out to dry with the system and numerical disadvantage in the midfield in the first half) but surely I’m not that far gone that those that call him out as poor tonight are being objective and judging him with an open mind?
God you’re an insufferable **** aren’t you. Brings up a conversation from a month ago to start an argument for literally no reason, then plays the victim. You must lead the most boring ****ing life. This thread was proper canny until you showed up.
What a surprise that you've jumped in as usual. I'm happy with everything I've ever posted. If people are unhappy to be quoted they should think before they do ... ... if they're happy to be quoted I really can't see the problem tbh. You seem like a very bitter man if you don't mind me saying, always quick to jump in.
It’s always hard to judge individuals on performances in second string elevens. There’s probably 7 or 8 of that team that I would personally be comfortable parachuting individually into the first eleven that started at Burnley that I would be confident would do a job surrounded by the better players and as part of a more cohesive unit.
I just genuinely thought he didn’t look good at all like. He genuinely didn’t offer much at all if anything. I just can’t see him being PL level for us ever. Happy to be wrong
