Agree with the identity comment too. I’d have more hope at this point if we were seeing glimpses of that, but it’s just getting more and more muddied.

I mean it could happen, I’d just be quite surprised if we went back to that completely. Having said that though, it has become quite disheartening seeing how vulnerable we look with legitimately every counter attack now 😂 so any sort of relief from that would be appreciated!

Definitely, and I’d much rather us do that, which would also help cement who we’d need to buy at the end of the season — as opposed to giving more game time to players we know are heading out the door.

Yeah for sure, and we have a youthful core that definitely fit that. I do have faith in the majority of players we’ve bought recently. And even if we’re starting to look at other slightly more pragmatic manager options, I can’t see us doing a full 180 and going for someone super defensive.

I’d just love to invest in seeing a Gray, Bergvall, Maddison midfield. Not to say that would definitely work, but Bissouma and Bentancur haven’t shown much in the 6 at all, so I don’t really see any huge downsides in trying that out.

I’ve also been super keen to see Gray in the 6 as well, and would be more than happy if we gave him some minutes there in any of the upcoming league games (as you’ve mentioned!)

Yeah for sure. That rough fee in my head was more so just a reasonable spend in one window, and one which might get us back up around 6th(ish). But agree, to actually mount a serious challenge from here = way more.

Yeah fair! And I think that’s the decision we’re looking at. Keep Ange and put more faith in his system, or hire someone with a similar profile where the core of our squad would still be appropriate.

“We’re having record-breaking season here…”

“Which record is that?”

“…next question.”

Fair assessment! And agree regarding an improved structure and movement overall. But yes, just reconfirmed how easily the sloppiness gets punished.

All in time 🙏

Automatic conviction, zero chance of parole

Cash’s is far more calculated. Point being that the gap between a yellow for Cash, and a red + 3 game suspension for Romero is way too big.

If we remove the line completely, how can anyone play in behind? 🤔👌

Still time to make us proud

Ah, I see… I feel this is where our opinions on the cards may diverge 🙏

Yes, definitely agree! Some superb performances

100%!
