Where do you play him? Playing him in a midfield 3 means nobody supports the striker.

it’s a pointless conversation. We don’t know what the budget is, which players are available etc. we could give a name and you’d easily argue “he would never come”. offer Fulham £40m for Mitro if you want an easy answer. He’s £15m better than Wood on recent form. Not saying he’s the answer, but he’s better than Wood.

Isn’t this why clubs have scouting teams and data? Is there no striker in the world better than Chris Wood and available?

I’d have Rafa back, no questions asked. Even if he then took us down I’d trust him completely to take this club where it needs to be. I don’t get that feeling with Howe, but he needs much more time either way. It looks pretty certain that we’re going to go down, which delays the transformation of the club. I think Howe needs the next two seasons to show what he can do.

Two new midfielders in this team, drop Joelinton, put a proper number 10 in. Joelinton only really looks good at the moment because the rest of them are shite

Shelvey was horrific yesterday. His worst game under Howe. Longstaff’s just pointless.

Every day of the week. Far more to his overall game than Wood.

This quiet:

Who is he popular with?

Somehow worse than Clark

3 fairly big asks

See, that’s where he should be shooting!!!

Has Wood touched the ball this half?

We’d probably play as well as them too

It’s really hard to play with no central midfielders. Zero protection, zero transition, zero attacking support. Both as shite as each other.

I’ve only been watching this half but Shelvey somehow seems worse than ever

It’s as bad watching it mate

Was lascelles ever good? Am I just a bit blinkered by his shiteness now?

Moving the goalposts ?

Any match? Yeah. Scunny once had their first two keepers break their arms in the same match. actually thinking about it, I think an outfield keeper ended up in goal as their third keepers. About 7 years ago, can’t remember the opponents.

Ritchie is absolutely shite but I feel you’re giving Ranieri too much credit. He hasn’t been wily since taking the Watford job, that’s for sure

great insight I don’t think I’m quite as much in the thinking of “must win or we’re down” as football doesn’t work that way. A draw would still be ok at the stage so I’m not as nervous as most of you…. (Obviously want a win)

Last year the media were talking about him as a 70m euros player.

I'm 100% more concerned that we still have the same midfielders playing than I am about our central defenders.

Keane has been absolutely shite this season.
