Yes. I know you like the homoerotic winners and losers stuff.

If we‘re having players winding down their careers here I’d rather have winners. @Kid Icarus The squad lacks a genuine winning mentality, and having players around that never had the talent and/or proclivity to do anything other than pick up their wages the second a modicum of ambition was injected is a barrier to cultivating that.

Yes but a bit of an anomaly as we had a Spanish legend in charge.

Pope is a cracking keeper. Dubravka at his best doesn’t touch him.

Schar had like 3 bad games out of 40-something.

He was never a cracking keeper. He was just better than Darlow.

Bang on, as much as I like Pope it simply can’t ever happen again.

Nobody wants him gone, but we’re run by very ambitious people who will naturally be very disappointed with this season given how much has been spent in the past 16 months. Of course there’s pressure on next season. I don’t believe for one second we couldn’t have found a way to get a better keeper than Martin Dubravka in January either. Sometimes you need short term solutions for long term goals.

I love Eddie and I’d be gutted if he was sacked, but I’m far less confident in him than I was this time last year, if I’m honest. Elite managers need to make bold decisions and he consistently avoids them. Pope not playing against Man U is a decision / indecision that looks pretty indefensible now. Not bringing in a keeper at almost all costs in January was brainless and almost everyone on here could see it. Hopefully he’s learnt.

We can’t expect to keep Isak, Bruno, Gordon just being alsorans. They’re better than that.

What will represent success next season? I think it’s CL or we count the transfer requests coming in. Lots of pressure to get this summer right and start well.

Not the type of forward we need at all. Wouldn’t want to be back up and not flexible enough to go left or right of Isak to any great effect.

Have a word.

Your mate Southgate will find a way to nullify them, fear not.

Really looking forward to seeing him. How we could’ve done with him for last 7 months.

Someone beat me to that brah.

Was never a thing. 99.9% of the fans adore him. Bloody rare that.

Kaka’s fave, to be fair.

Great players, good players and mediocre ones, generally. I know where Ross fucking Barkley sits.

Neither of them is a number 6 and the thought of him coming in for Bruno, man. Just stop.

Yeah I’m gonna leave the ward now.

He’s 31 this year, just been relegated and a totally different type of player to Bruno. I’m not your nemesis. I think you’re brilliant. You just come out with outrageousness - but I mostly appreciate it these days.

To play where?

Can’t really sum up that season without writing an essay. Still very happy he’s our manager and would only swap him for 2 or 3 coaches on the planet. Big summer coming up. I hope I’ve seen the last of quite a few players who’ve featured.

Just needed a rest, 50 games club and country a lot to play behind midfielders giving little to no protection. Needs to be used wisely for 35 games next campaign.
