Wet cardboard keeper.

Anderson would cost more and imo is of lesser quality (slightly better form this season maybe).

I think he'll stay next season and I also think we'll finish 3rd next season (if we get the summer right and improve the technical ability and our control/possession in games). Yeah only that..

Also, easy to forget how many god damn games/minutes he’s played.

Respect the balls! /IT Twat LinkedIn

Good clearance from Mavropanos tbf.

Get in!

That centre circle huddle felt like AI

Enjoy the win alone instead (I’ve always been a Howe in)

Got it spot on today.

Get in!! Fucking hate Chelsea!

Rosenior looks like a IT studying twat.

Good half. Now stay focused ffs.

Have you made a list to compare what certain posters said beforehand and now? Don’t think “all” have changed their opinion.

Really would have given Hall a rest. We’re gonna break him soon.

45?? I agree the league isn't done, but having said that I think the Barca game has to be a massive priority.

Don’t see him rotating even near enough to what we should, unfortunately.

Easily our best player.

Apart from his more obvious weaknesses such as lack of technical ability, Poor balance/top heavy with not much agility at all. One thing that stands out to me that isn’t talked about as much is how poor his anticipation is. Quite often you see him not even trying to run properly until the pass to him has been played. He’s so slow to react/read the play that the opposition more often than not has an advantage defending against him. It’s the same thing off the ball running into space. Just one example, I think it was after Hall’s solo run up the left flank where the ball got into space in the penalty area and you could see how slow he was to react. He didn’t anticipate that the ball was gonna end up there and didn’t start moving into space until the ball was there and it was too late. I would never have spent even near the amount of money we did for such a limited player. But sorting out his lack of anticipation would go a long way to get him more effective. This is an attribute that doesn’t even require your confidence to be at the very best. This is also why he often doesn’t look that quick as he potentially can/should be.

I wouldn't want us to sell the likes of Bruno, Hall, Sandro and so on. Personally when it comes to Barnes it's a combination of his age, reliance on pace as well as him being quite limited as a player in general play. Love Barnes and he just produces numbers, there's no doubt about that. I just think we need to smart sellers. I agree on Elanga, but it would be foolish to sell him now. We have to wheel and deal to try and strengthen. No matter what way you put it I think our front three is quite limited.

Because I feel that this summer is the last chance to get really good money for Barnes. I think we have to be smart sellers. I don't think Murphy or Elanga is good enough as 1st choices going forward, and I can't see us selling Elanga now. I don't rate him but I can still see him becoming better (massive loss to sell now).

What?

Personally I wouldn't mind us getting rid of Murphy and Barnes and get two younger ones in.

Refuse to watch. Just makes me depressed What a player!

Can't speak for everyone else, but me personally I have patience in players that I can see making it at our club. Players with enough talent and potential. Personally I don't see Osula becoming good enough to make it here. Like the guy, mind.
