I dont think our problem is the striker/strikers its the set up that does not bring the best out of them, shame but Reg only has one plan and it is not for changing.
It’ll end up the same dilemma as last season. We are more of a threat playing two up top but the squad is assembled to play 4-3-3 in possession. Both Wilson and Mayenda are better in a 2.

Reactions: Gil T Azell
I don’t know what it is with some of our supporters. It was only six months ago that they were ****ing themselves into oblivion that he’d signed a contract with us. Now he’s considered to be the worst striker in the team. We have to be very careful that we don’t turn into that lot up the road.
I think Mayenda has more upside than Isidor but I currently think that Isidor is more ready for the premier league. He’s an instinct finisher, Mayenda seems to need more time to get his shots off and Isidor is better with quick reactions and when he doesn’t have a lot of time to think about it. Next season that could be crucial.
 
Well said EJK....we have some fans with very short memories and short attention spans imo.
Nobody's suggesting we didn't have to improve the squad but some have written off almost the entire squad who won at Wembley and I find that utterly embarrassing.
Just want to say this. Had Sheffield Utd gone up with the squad they played at Wembley they’d have got relegated. We narrowly beat them and finished much lower in the league points wise. Being loyal to last seasons squad would have led to a miserable year. We need the best of it to stay and adjust among premier league quality players. I don’t want another McCarthy level year out of loyalty and a thumping or two in the first 6 weeks would have meant the last season team started to go flat and turn.
 
Unfortunately? Playing probably the most used and best system in football atm that got us promoted and is out righted suited to a survival fight in the premier league
Just don’t look forward to him flogging 15 players again.
 
Jobe wouldnt get in our midfield now and that tells the story
Not too sure about that. He seems to be well set to get in the Dortmund midfield. I would say he would have been a regular for us had he stayed, and we maybe dont sign a Diarra or a Sadiki. Easy to forget how good he is I think, in amongst the excitement of new players.
 
I've been very impressed with Talbi personally. I keep saying it but his defensive work is superb, you don't get that often with young wingers. Needs to trust himself on the outside more as when he does it's created danger every time. I'd like to see him really attack the back post as well, it's how wingers like Salah rack up the goals with easy tap ins. I'd be starting him personally, think he really fits our press and counter attack game.
Pleased you mentioned about attacking that back post. I thought it was noticeable yesterday it wasnt something that came natural to him. I think it is so important for wide players to be able to do that, and you need to blindside the full back if you can. Such a threat when it happens.

Agree with this. He would have stepped up again among better players. Wouldn’t say no to him and Xhaka. Not complaining about who we’ve got, but the new signings have done nothing yet.

It's not many mate. Just a few with too much time. IMO, we aren't going to sign anyone better than Wilson if he left.

If there is any truth in the Saudi link, that would be another matter I suppose, the stupid cash they throw around there
