Typical behaviour of a bully and online troll. Will disguise as bantz but I know the type. We just have to sit and take the rubbish as he is getting a pass.

For this part of the season, it's beyond rescue because of a hasty decision. I'd have kept Petrovic. He instilled calm in the defence last season. Enzo came in with his mind made up and never even gave him a chance.

And that's why I don't understand the fascination with Sanchez. He's not even good with his feet, short or long.

Oh right, got you. Yeah definitely need that ruthless streak.

This! I don't understand how a manager can make such poor judgement. It goes beyond his mistakes but the effect he has on the team. When players have full confidence in their goalie, they are able to play without the pressure of what's he gonna do now and thus put in better performances. Less nerves for the defenders which translates to better support for the midfield and better team play generally. It's why everyone was shocked when he said Sanchez was his number 1 immediately he came in. He's not even good at what you want your goalkeeper to do and yet you give him the number 1 glove without even trying to allow the guy that kept him on the bench last season play or go for an all out replacement. Maresca gets a massive F here for me.

How did we go out ruthlessly and get Cech and Thibaut 20 years ago? I'll say that was more all due to the excellent scouting Emenalo and his team has going around that time. Maybe I'll give you Cech but even that is questionable as whilst he had potential to be good he wasn't yet a superstar goalie. Thibaut same, even less reputation than Cech, yet to play an international game, dominated his area because of his height but he wasn't particularly mind blowing. Atleti developed him for us. Was a shame that happened as he felt more affiliation with Spain than Chelsea hence why he left eventually. Although players generally don't turn down and opportunity to go Madrid, was the way he forced the move that left a sour taste in our mouths. I agree with the post per getting a quality goalie once and for all. The two most important positions for us now are GK and CB. If only City didn't get ahead of us for Gvardiol. He'd have been our best defender right now.

After his stinker against Newcastle surely he wouldn't be so lacking in self awareness.

Fortunately I don't get to see Troll NNNJs posts but unfortunately when someone quotes him then I see it. Is there a way to stop this in settings? Just to correct your impression, I'm not a Jackson fanboy. Far from it, but I am usually a rational and analytic person who likes to take a holistic view, can see the wood for the trees and choose to actively support all of my team. I have no qualms with calling players crap on here if they are, nor do I feel people shouldn't call out crap players but when the narrative is first of all crafted out of nothing relating to football, I get uncomfortable with that view point. I can understand it but discomforting nonetheless. When it veers towards constant derision, it takes the form of bullying to me and whilst it might not be, it just grinds my gears. Hate bullies to hell and will never shy away from calling them out. It's a hill you've chosen to die on and I can at least admire your dedication to the cause.

Well, probably why he's getting clocked for speeding in Wales. Just in a hurry to go get the thing.😂

I know. He sure is. With his barefoot sob stories, only fans chat and donkey brain. What a Tosser! And I don't mean Jackson.

This is after all, basically the same Newcastle team 3 days later. Yet.........

Some food for thought for us. Perhaps lay it on a bit too thick with the insults on some of the A team cast. Suggested alternatives way below expectations and hype.

You sure? Might get people wound up with that statement and whilst I don't know if right or wrong I've never understood the hype with Osimhen.

Why should you be sorry though. You're not wrong and most on here will agree with you. Enzo only has his price tag going for him. He's been a monumental disappointment.

Give me someone that fails the eye test but keeps putting the goal tally running over players that dazzle and shine with no output. Some have criticised other players we currently have in the team for exact same reason. They are fancy, they have skill, they want to be flashy but no output but then in the same vein they'll castigate another player for the exact opposite. And it's not even factually true as he does more than score. His hold up and link up play is amongst the best in forward line and he doesn't have one trait which a few members of the forward players have that I can't stand. Selfish. Agendas and all. It's not only ridiculous, it should necessitate a psych evaluation.
