Don’t think so - at a push maybe Ferran…. Can’t see either leaving Barca As a young forward - Jonathan Rowe from Norwich - 20 years old - plays all 3 positions - very two footed - technically really good
-
Monchi is good at resurrecting careers - did similar things at Sevilla (when the bought a struggling Rakitic from Germany) He’s good cover for Watkins too - seems to have played every single game this season
-
Scalvini (20 (incredibly versatile - right sided CB but can play all 4 positions at the back and at 6) reads the game brilliantly - good with the ball Fofana (24) - literally the ideal 6 - technically superb - quick, strong - has a presence similar to the late Tiote but a far better footballer Johan Bakayoko (20) - RW - the number 1 choice - quick - eye for a pass - superb shot
-
Crazy how many of Trippiers poor deliveries lead to counters
-
Not an advocate of sacking him - let him learn from this season - this season he’s been on secondment - this is what we want our future to be, can you cope with the demands Eddie? Let him go away, learn from it and come back a more rounded and battle hardened manager
-
This and the ability to play a single or double pivot based on the opposition - we have a very good core of midfielders in Bruno - Miley - Tonali - Joelinton - Willock, the lack of genuine 6 is an issue and has cost us this season when we have looked fatigued. Added to this it would help protect the back line from counters
-
I definitely think we will get that from the left eventually with Barnes and Gordon (throw in Joes and Anderson as Wilcards) The right we definitely don’t - only have Miggy and Murphy - you can add Gordon when we have everyone fit - however a winger in necessary and a forward who can drift to the left - I am all for Bakayoko and Mbuemo
-
Gordon been running on empty since the Bournemouth game bar 1 match vs Man U - Miggy the same We haven’t been the same since that game - tank was almost emptied - literally played the same players ever since
-
It was worse than the score line read at FT
-
Aston Villa for all of these in theory
-
Yeah was a brief note made by Ashworth to the board when they were having a zoom conference
-
They acknowledged potential difficulties and the possible drop off that may occur It’s been relentless - feel totally worn out - emotionally drained - just imagine how the players must be feeling
-
To keep the club moving forward and expose us to playing twice a week - builds experience, knowledge and knowhow and if it’s the Conference - a chance to win a trophy Probably phrased it wrong
-
He isn’t a natural inverted winger so doesn’t naturally think like one I feel sorry for him he’s being exposed so badly in this way
-
We have to get some form of European football next season even if it’s the Conference League
-
Or this - just try something different - keep the opposition on their toes - it’s just to predictable
-
Number 6 is a crucial position which we need to address - you can still press by playing a 4-1-4-1 with Bruno further up just try something different Eddie
-
Go out and get Scalvini - Fofana - Bakayako got to time for sentiments
-
Let this season play out and across then The lack of a genuine 6 is a concern - we are too open Lack of discipline today - 46 mins are 1 with ball in the Forest box and we get countered on
-
Blame Eddie for playing him
-
Zero discipline today Season is over
-
Gordon is physically spent - after 30 mins he literally can’t run - same with Miggy
-
Very good player but nearing 30 - rather someone younger
-
I reckon 35m - that’s a big fee for Atalanta
