Keane - Nuno - Del Bosque - Eddie

RW - CB - FWD (hybrid) - CM (hybrid) - in this order for me

Think the next striker we go for will be a hybrid one - hopefully in the mould of a Jota and Gakpo - someone who can be an alternative to our RW (when we sign one)

The Muslim population is low in the North East - the amount of people that go on the Pilgrimage is fairly low as well - both Hajj and Ummrah are quite expensive too - so they won’t really benefit - but may benefit from direct flights to Pakistan from various cities in UK (Manchester - Birmingham - London) as there is a huge demand

He needs to look at himself in the mirror too - not exactly set the world alight last few years

Think his contract is up in Summer 2026 so PSV may be looking to sell - did similar with Gakpo

You mean hauled off after 60”

According to the APP we scored the penalty before it was given

I don’t particularly buy into this way of thinking - Sir Alex used to delegate to his 2 most senior coaches (Mike Phelan and Rene Mulensteen) - Big Carlo does the same with his son … it’s how it works

Personally - I think we need 2CBs in the summer - both young with high upsides - then it’s up to the club which of Schar, Burn and Lascelles they keep - I’d be annoyed if 2 of the 3 are still here next season - Lascelles in theory will go..

He is slow as anything and suited to a back 3 as he was at Inter Defo 24 and over which is against Mitchell’s policy if we are looking at CB options I like to look of Ordonez at Brugge and Khurazov (? Lens) both 20 with huge upsides - the former being a Nickson recommendation before he moved from SA

Tino was exactly this at Southampton - kind of similar in style to Cafu - Shame he isn’t being provided with that freedom in our set up - it may be because we lack a RCB with pace so he needs to hold his position, and we don’t have an inverted winger meaning he doesn’t have the space to run into

I totally agree with this - he’s more of an inverted winger if that makes sense - like a Salah, Kulusevski, Bernardo - someone that creates and retains the ball - nice mix with Gordon and Barnes on the other side - you’d assume the 4th winger if we ever bought one in would be more of a Minteh type Can finish with his right too …

Re Bischof Its something we have to do with the squad - I think CB RW and CF needs 3 potential ready made starters (keeper too), then a CB, CM and RW/CF as talents we can develop - kind of like Minteh and Anderson types

We should have shot 2 years ago and bought Gyokeres What’s that Mitchell saying - “Not fit for purpose” Hopefully Mitchell weaves his Monaco magic on our squad

Thia is the profile we need - on a free in the summer

I’m at bit meh with Chelsea - they’ve spent £1bn on a completely new squad - refreshed every position - I mean even we would look half decent in similar circumstances - Maresca hasn’t exactly been landed with a set of average players

In keeping with his season - his level and consistency just haven’t been there

Irreaola (however you spell it)

That’s truly shocking

Buck stops with Eddie - seemingly has zero solutions

He’s tactically weak - we’ve been shocking bar 2-3 matches this season this 2nd half showing is sack worthy

P45 please

Just make a note of who we got to play away yet

Don’t bet on it - this lot are soft as fuck
