Ronaldo

The timing is awful. The next 3 games are perfect for what he can and can’t provide.

Come on, you can’t be serious about us playing a season in Europe with just Osula and Callum bloody Wilson backing up Isak.

If there’s no solid basis to ‘write off’ a perennially injured 33-year-old goalscorer who hasn’t scored a league goal in a year, I’m not sure there’s ever grounds to doubt anyone ever. Especially in the context of the club we’re trying to be now. Even if his legs come back (not likely in the real world) we need better and far more reliable than Callum Wilson.

Tevez and Bellamy? What on earth are you both on? He’s a completely different type of striker / footballer / athlete to both.

I had this discussion yesterday. The teams from 7th-11th can literally beat anyone on their day. I can’t remember a recent season where that has been the case to the same extent. The league is very strong all the way down to lower mid-table and even Spurs / Man U are both in European semis. It’s a strong league with more dispersion of quality players and managers.

Palace, not Man U. Yes I’m pedantic.

It was clearly onside mind.

They’re a pretty poor side this season and how they’ve beaten us twice I don’t know. Should be aiming for a win but a draw will be an OK result in context.

Yes, small fanbase and majority of them customers. Awful club tbh.

Agreed, but one of them can run.

We really haven’t seen why. There’s no excuse for Wilson to be brought on as a central striker again.

One more win to secure Europa league which is the absolute minimum we needed to achieve this season. 2 more wins to guarantee CL. Good position to be in.

I don’t remember many great balls at all. He’s smashing this season despite being absolute run into the ground due to the lack of options to take the pressure off him.

You keep saying this. The service to him is mostly shit tbh. We’ll never get the best out of him until we sacrifice one of the midfield 3 and / or one of the wingers for a player or players with a genuine ability to execute that final ball. He’s clearly playing not fully fit but his ability won us the game again today with his touch and turn for the sending off.
