Mal Gusto!

Great game, Lavia looked good, wanted the ball, played it well and I think Palmer and Nkunku will enjoy playing together.

Fed up with us getting sucker punched when controlling games. If reports are true and we do sell Gallagher, we need to replace him with experience in the middle. We have so much potential but no cool head apart from Silva.

For all our potential, Colwill is not a left back. Either play him centrally or don-t play him. Is Disasi that much better than Chalobah? Certainly, at right back he is not. Gusto is such a good attacking right back, why move him to the left? Maatsen is just too lightweight but surely we would have had better balance with him as left wing back and Gusto staying on the right after the subs.

But my biggest negative is Jackson. He's not a centre forward. Makes no runs, can't hold the ball up, doesn't find space, can't finish, doesn't link up play, loses possession on countless occasions. He offers nothing to the team. We are crying out for any type of real striker but preferably one who knows where the near post is and who can finish one in every five or six of his opportunities.

Down to the dregs at the moment

Think we're safe from relegation with those 3 points.

Good post this...

My two biggest negatives are Broja - who frankly won't amount to anything & wants gettting shot of...& Caicedo...I just don't understand what he's about at all...was partly culpable for the goal yesterday too along with Colwill

To be fair, Caicedo has started to show that he may be a player for us. There are signs. I think he, rather than Enzo, is the player who will dictate play for us. But I am underwhelmed by Jackson, Enzo, Uguchukwo (or whatever his name is), Disasi, Colwill at left back, Broja, Maatsen. I think that Mudryk may well develop into a good invered winger, not a top top consistant player, but his unpredictability is what is exciting. However, he is TOO raw, too naive. Noni impresses me one game, frustrates me the next and is ... meh ... in another ... but we have to be fair and say he hasn't playerd enough.
