Bissouma is so daft man.

Sancho is excellent at using his full backs overlaps. Gordon needs to learn to do that better.

He's brilliant. Not good enough for Pep though!

Yeah, opting for the two lefties instead is bad news for him.

Can they please award a penalty for this trash being thrown on the pitch.

Sancho would have really suited Amorim actually. Oh well

That is absolute top quality from Sancho.

Just realised Tosin still can't get a game with Fofana out. Wow.

In a weird way it's making things more frustrating. Had we been even just slightly better we'd be in a comfortably strong position right now.

Classic Martinelli, so goofy.

Yes, while insinuating it's tougher for the likes of yourselves because you are playing more games. Cut it out man. No excuses.

No excuses man. You're part of the so called top six with your big commercial incomes. You have wasted tens of millions on sub par players and not adequately built up your squad. That's on you lot.

Makes me laugh how people are complaining about these set piece goals Unreal cheat code having such an unstoppable fall back to lean on. Would give anything for us to be able to do this, especially as we are so shit at it. Every other team in the league should be embarrassed.

Both yourselves and Man Utd should have squads good enough to manage tbh. Haven't done a good enough job with signings over the years. No excuses.

Exactly

Brighton, Fulham, Forest, Brentford and Bournemouth doing such an admirable job this season. Showing its not all about spending and big name signings.

What a goal that is. No nonsense sublime placement.

Yes, they did let him and they've all gone. It was still Howe's decisions though, and so if things continue to go badly he will ultimately pay the price, especially if there is resistance to the changes the new DOF is trying to make.

GIving ETH a new contract then sacking him a few months later was incredible. This move with Ashworth is actually more astonishing! Ratcliffe came across as a nutter during all those interviews ranting about gardening leave, and we all couldn't believe his behaviour, and thought it would turn out badly. And here we are. The guy seems very reactionary and chaotic.

There's deals out there to be done with more bravery. This is how to navigate and beat PSR. Ola Aina has been brilliant for them too, and is a Chelsea Cobham graduate. They signed him on a free. Hudson Odoi out of Cobham too, they signed for £3 million from Leverkusen.

Jim's 'best in class' Ashworth. After all of that fuss and money. What a dummy!

Wait, what?! No way man! This is tremendous

Your team looked far more suited to how Ruud was looking to play. More direct and explosive. Would have been interesting if he got till the end of the season. Your lot at board level seem enamoured with Man City and that style of football. I don't think the players you have can get their heads round that sort of play, which was essentially the problem under ETH too.

The squad we have built over the last two years is very much his. He has said he is happy with the business they have done regarding transfers. I find it strange the idea he's been let down in this area. Ultimately, the way the squad has been put together has ended up causing him big problems. For the last two years at least there have been numerous complaints on here regarding not addressing the right wing, and also not addressing how open our midfield looks defensively. Neither of these issues have been addressed with adequate signings, or tactical adjustments. This season we have largely continued to play the same formation with Bruno playing most often in front of the defence in a single pivot. I find that extraordinary to be honest.

Honestly, that's all well and good, but we haven't even made the best use of the talent we have available to us right now. If we were doing that and coming up short then fair enough. The confusion of how to integrate Tonali, and how best to utilise Barnes and Gordon to overcome the issues on the right has been a disaster. There are teams with less costs that are performing better than us right now and are on track to finish ahead of us.
