I’d slightly tweak it - play Big Joe on left and bring Barnes inwards - like a 4-4-1-1 or a 4-2-3-1 - giving us some flexibility

Yeah wouldn’t take notice of what they write on there - said we were looking to pay £80m for Guehi last weekend Probs just a lazy Mitchell/Red Bull link

is a cross between Barnes and Gordon - plays mostly on the left We need to strengthen the other side with at least 2 new signings, with 1 being able to play CF too - not naming any particular player (Bryan Mbuemo)

3-3

The inability to sell the likes of Almiron - Wilson et al has hurt us badly No transfers - no progress

Said this a few weeks back - our set pieces (corners, crosses) are the worst in the league imo - absolutely honking

A fair summary The pressure will only increase on him - European football is crucial

Ridiculous call from Howe that

Neville is fkn insufferable cunt - switch off every time this tosspot is on TV Surprised no one in the press is asking for an all white team - can’t have these dirty blacks who are non patriots

Hopefully the whole APT opens up

RE UEFA - didn’t Man U get twice more than us in the CL last season? Both failed to progress from the group

I meant corners as Ronaldo was alluding to - they are shocking

I stand by with what I said - our set pieces are awful

Our set pieces are the worst in the league imo

My point was alluding to a formation change for us - in the sense we have a perfect player to slot alongside Bruno - I really don’t like how our midfield is shaped Sandro is good enough to play as a 10 also - he has everything

In fairness none of us know what we were doing that day

He isn’t a RCM - he’s at his best in a double pivot - had his best seasons in those positions - We are not utilising him properly - he keeps the ball ticking, covers the RB, has a fantastic engine and is tactically brilliant - that’s his role

The shape of this team is totally wrong - I have always been an advocate that we play a 4231 - Tonali and Bruno as the double pivot - interchanging with Big Joe You had Murphy yesterday constantly coming inside - it was absolutely infuriating to watch - 433 lends itself to constant sideways passing as well - Burn constantly passing it sideways behind Hall was irritating There’s no proper shape or style and we have stagnated as a result It’s something I think Eddie has to recognise quickly because the 433 has run it’s course imo

I think that’s a really fair summary tbh - I am always OTT after matches - but when the dust settles you look at it at a different light Being honest, we’ve taken a step back this season - not having a 9 hurts us - we have Chris Wood, we win yesterday imo Theres 2/3 positions in this team that are really hurting us - those that had to be addressed in the summer and weren’t - that’s why everything seems a bit of hard work right now

Why does it take those fixtures for us to play decent? Why not apply the same intensity to games like Everton? Fulham?

This - none of this bollocks we have lost 1 in 7 - we have had a piss easy start - in 7 games we’ve played well in 1, average in the other 6 These performances are not good enough - it’s really concerning Maybe getting the likes of Isak and Wilson will help The next 4 matches are huge - will determine what direction we are going in

Bitterly disappointed with his tactics We have no clue whatsoever in our build up play - no fluidity - players can barely pass a ball His subs are poor

Think the ban must have really hurt her - she had Sandro at 10/1 to be player of the year

WTF - When did this happen?

2 keepers on bench is unacceptable - surely we can put in a youngster
