Agree to some extent but we have to sign a RW that upgrades us at some point, and given the opportunity table/UCL this season it’d be great to see that happen this month
RCB and GK both need future proofing too

Botman brings in better passing ability getting the ball forward, which we’ve missed, but also more defensive ability and more pace means midfield can get higher up pitch and involved in more

The GK one is hilarious. Absolutely no need haha

It’s obviously something they/we/all care about a lot, just can’t understand the pleasure in being consistently negative about it all
Not to mention if you look at everything from a pragmatic angle, there’s a load of positives. Just having a very shit time on the pitch atm

No doubt Jose would be great for off the pitch entertainment, and absolutely the worst thing possible on it

He can grow into it but it’s a lot to learn and take on
I think we also saw/got the benefit of having an established England international in trips as captain. Easier to manipulate the ref haha

Before today I’d have agreed on the Longstaff bit, but Tonali started at 6 today and did reasonably well.. the only ‘improvement’ points for him in that spot probably get resolved with more time spent there

Too many on twitter that love a moan. You’ll see people not even watch the games and still kick off about individual aspects of them, not listen to press conference and go out of their way to kick off about select quotes etc
Bluesky seems to just be people actually talking it through

Botman back makes it a lot more doable. Tonali more time in midfield should steadily see him/us improve too. We really, really need a top RW. 433 doable with those 3 things in mind, plus a new RCB, but short term I wouldn’t be against a change of shape

Only him + the team can influence it one way or the other really, nature of football and all that. Still think he / we come good though. Hopefully anyway

Think that’s where the club has gone wrong post takeover for me, we’ve done a bit of it, but not loads of it. 10x as many minteh type deals and we’d have a far better talent pipeline coming through much sooner

Went in for Olise he chose Bayern
Went in for Maddison he chose spurs
That’s just two that we know about etc, sure there’s been plenty others that haven’t come to fruition

Think if Botman comes back in and after getting back up to speed we’re still struggling def, fair enough
If he was backed with a really good quality RW and we couldn’t score/create more, fair enough
But I’m pretty confident either of those and he/we only improve

Not many out there that are available or interested and would be an upgrade, esp without requiring a massive overhaul. Reckon in a PSR-free world Eddie kills it for us. Lot of mitigating factors (key injuries being the main one for me) have cause us to stagnate
Hope he turns it around myself

Yeah definitely. Shape change would probs spark the fire but not sure he moves from 433 as the default. Tonali starting is a step in the right direction at least, esp with him at 6 + Bruno at 8 and able to swap

Yep but with ageing Burn and Schar as CBs we are pretty exposed to the odd chance / restricts our midfield somewhat
