Finally had his chance to deck someone in the brawl and didn't even do that.

I don't think he was particularly bad first half. It's just he was being played as an inverted FB in midfield, so when West Ham broke quickly down the left, he wasn't there, and Garnacho offered no support either. That's always the problem with inverted fullbacks, you are open to wide counters.

BordeuzBlue knew Badiasille would be sh*t before we signed him. So we really need his opinion on Jaquet.

He's not great, no. No really good enough. But he could have progressed if given the chances that Gittens and Garnacho have had, and saved us a lot of money.

Said it before, but we should have just given him some trust instea dof spunking all that money on both Gittens and Garnacho. Sign Garnacho if you absolutely have to, but not Gittens as well. I am 99% sure if we'd given George a vast majority of the minutes those 2 have had, he'd have produced more. Especially than Gittens has.

At least he realised he f**ked up at the start and changed to a more suitable system against the 3 at the back. No idea what we were trying to do before that

I can't even tell what the f**k we are doing. Gusto and Cucurella are playing like inverted wingbacks, both being really high but then coming inside to the CAM positions, and Santos drops into CB? Why?

Fofana, man. So f**king sh*t.

Hope you recover quickly 👍

Why does it always seems players like Sterling and George are left until the last 2-3 days of the window? Can they not sort this sh*t out earlier?

Even less games for josh then

Neto dropping a solid 1/10 performance so far. Forgot Enzo was even playing. Totally bypassed in both directions.

So f**king bad.

Lavia is just not real. He's made up

Still playing with inverted fullbacks then I see.

The only times we've looked good is when it's gone to Delap's feet and we've done a few quick touches. But that's very rare. Otherwise it's just sideways and back, as usual.

This is one of the many flaws with the model. We won't sign these ready made players because they want massive wages. Well, what about when the best of our players want those wages? Do we just sell them and start again with another one? You won't be making much money long term doing that. And the project will never end, it'll just be right back to square one.

£40m enough you reckon?

What's the point then? I thought we needed a CB now. If we sign him now for the summer, it doesn';t help us and we still have Colwill, Sarr, Anselmino and then him coming back at the same time.

9 years too old

He can battle it out with Gittens to see who can do the most step overs before falling over the ball.

Here's my opinion, for what it's worth. He is.. okay. Some things he can do, some things he can't. He can generally tackle and put himself about. But he can't move very quickly so is easily bypassed. He can on occasion arrive in the box for a goal. But his shooting technique isn't actually that good. He can keep possession reasonably well under pressure. But when asked to play an attacking pass, like a through ball, over the top, or cross-field, he usually mis-hits it. He plays with passion. But as a vice-captain he doesn't lead particularly well. That is the description of an average player. A few strengths, with some obvious weaknesses. As a squad player - fine. But his role in the team is supposed to be the superstar player, who will score 10+ goals a season, get lots of assists, ping the ball about like Fabregas, etc... And he's just not that good. If you want your midfielder to receive the ball back to goal and lay it back to the CBs or across to Caicedo - great. He's your man. But I've been more impressed by Santos in the last few games, because he can do that and actually play it forwards as well. If we got a serious offer, we should definitely consider it. However, I don't know if that would lead to a bit of a waterfall effect of other players looking to leave, if the poster boy of the project has had enough.

Is she the one who everyone memes on for having no acting range?

I can’t be bothered to maths but surely it costs more to pay 60m transfer and 100k wages than 20m transfer and 300k wages?

A win but very unconvincing. Any other day we concede 2 or 3 of those chances.
