Yeah, but I wonder how much of us not bringing in a CB is down to Slots future? I can very well see us playing out the season with Slot provided Champions League football is on the table. And then not offering him an extension, parting ways, and getting Xabi.

Yeah, but because of they way there fullbacks play its ended up with Gakpo having to drop into a back six.

Not really. Feels like a productive conversation. Plus its not like I don't send emails and such to my politicians. Just so happens that most of them don't engage. You do and I felt like we were having decent discourse, if you don't then I'm sorry I guess.

You can sit at home and not vote. Thats your prerogative. But at the end of the day understand that as little as the Dems do, its still better than Trump saying he's going to turn Gaza into a resort.

We aren't hysterical. We're just trying to explain to you how it works. If you want to know why the rules only apply to the left, its cause the right is in a cult and they'll do whatever Trump says.

Maybe. But the left seems to be the only people holding these morals. The right will vote for whoever Trump tells them too. Like if you say "I won't vote unless they say they will abolish ICE" Cool beans, but now we have the person who wants to expand ICE in office, instead of someone who doesn't

Yeah, that's true, that wasn't his best game. But I can't see Trent doing better ngl. Grav had the 3rd most interceptions last year, and is tied for 8th right now. He does his fair share defensively

Grav had the third most interceptions in the premier league last year, had more than Van Dijk even.

Idk bout that mate. I reckon Gomez could fill in for Konate and they'd be the same if not better. Personally Bradley has been great defensively this season, his only real poor game was against Man City.

Maybe. But Grav was damn good defensively in the title charge last year. And I think Bradley right now is a better defender than Trent ever was. Not that he was awful, it just wasn't his strength. And some of Konate's mistakes are just bad defending, no one to blame but himself.

True that. Thats a heck of a challenge right then though. I also don't feel like Konate is being asked to do more defensively than when Trent was here, Bradley is at least better defensively than Trent

I don't think Bradley or Grav are poor defensively. I agree Gravenberch isn't the best ball progresser, but it feels like Konate has just gone down a level.

Yeah I saw it was getting increasingly unlikely, still thought there was a shot we made an offer though

Not big on conspiracies, but they are fun from time to time. Not that all those injuries are fun, but find the silver lining humor I guess?

Rio might be enough cover if Slot would play Chiesa. Starting to feel as if all these injuries and absences are punishments from the football gods for not playing him. No Salah. Still won't play Chiesa? No Gakpo. Still no Chiesa? No Isak.

If that is the case I'd lean towards Semenyo for his directness and versatility over Rogers.

Roger's. If Slot persists with the diamond he can fill in at the AM role. If not he can operate off the left. I'd say you could play him on the right, but it would be an experiment to see how effective he'd be.

He'd rather get amputated than play Chiesa before the 70th minute

Idk mate. Maybe? But I feel like we're financially secure enough we wouldn't need the money back. Also I agree with your point about Ekitike, I did not expect him to hit these hights this fast. Plus I feel like there are cheaper DMs out there. Not of his level of course, but ones I'd say suffice
