He's proper spooked though isn't he. Like a toddler who has lost an argument and now just found around calling everyone names.

Fair enough
November 9, 2025 at 6:46 PM
But this is it. Throw around a few names, hope one sticks or does well. If it's the one to choose, brag about to knew all along. If it didn't, say that they should have chosen one of the other names.

Let's get Santo for the next few weeks then
November 9, 2025 at 6:28 PM
My worry is that we get in the manager rollercoaster - six months, they fail next in. And we end up like West Ham.

Also, a lot of those you've mentioned haven't proved themselves over a number of seasons.
November 9, 2025 at 5:38 PM
Think we need to ask questions about Howe, but seriously who would you bring in to replace him
November 9, 2025 at 5:32 PM
In part I think it's bad luck. Woltemade would never have played as much and in that role if Wissa was fit. Ramsey hasn't had the minutes. Think Elanga for me is the only big disappointment
November 9, 2025 at 4:53 PM
Agree. Think this summer really hammered home to fans, agents and players the lack of a project here.
November 9, 2025 at 4:19 PM
Think with him and Burn on the left we'd have no speed at all. Probably the main reason. I'd prefer him sat further forward in the middle and get Woltemade to push further forward.

Ok, having read up it seems good script was darker. But, there's been nothing in his recent filmography to suggest he will create a worthy sequel
November 6, 2025 at 7:05 PM
Yeah but it was Dante, and probably a bit of Spielberg, that brought them to life.
November 6, 2025 at 7:03 PM
Still needs to improve his finishing and composure in the box.

Columbus just doesn't have the dark vein of comedy for it. Thursday Murder Club was so bland it could have been ITV. He hasn't directed anything of worth since Mrs Doubtfire
November 6, 2025 at 4:32 PM
Think he'll give us another season out of loyalty. We could have cut him loose after the ban but we didn't.
November 6, 2025 at 4:28 PM
Hard to call Wissa a waste. Players get injured. For Elanga, you would hope someone of that value would adapt faster. The issue is he plays better on the counter attack but in those games we need a Murphy who gets back and defends as well

Would have dropped Joelinton but otherwise good line up
November 5, 2025 at 6:54 PM
Can you imagine if the Democrats had done this against, say, people carrying guns in America. You know, actual threats.

I didn't pay. Would have gone for the Duo option. My kids use the audiobooks too much which come included in Spotify
November 3, 2025 at 9:18 AM
Tried Qobuz which is really great. Pay better than Spotify, better quality, same selection. But, don't have audiobooks and doesn't link to Google Assistant when driving.

Think he's good when we need to dominate midfield or hold the ball. But when we're looking for guile and skill to break down a low block, he's not it. Think we have enough strength with Bruno and Tonali anyway.
November 2, 2025 at 10:39 PM
Think the whole summer upset the squad. The rat saga, players rejecting us for other teams, important players coming in late. Hoping it'll be the last summer like that for us with proper people behind the scenes now.
November 2, 2025 at 10:29 PM
Should have realised. Can only apologise
November 2, 2025 at 6:10 PM
But that's the thing. He slowly got himself in a position and it was obvious what the plan was. There was no speed or surprise, so he was quickly overloaded by the defence and had to recycle back to the midfield
November 2, 2025 at 6:04 PM
Think the full backs is an issue. Not Hall and Tino overlapping gave us no options on wing. Either had full backs just standing waiting on the wing or no overlap and ball went back to Tonali in the middle. Can't remember a single threatening cross on the overlap all game
