These players are spent - that 17 day break after Man City (unless there’s an FA Cup match in between) is going to be much need We have to add a couple of players even if on loan

Same old formation - rinse and repeat - if it fails try it again Todays performance was bloody horrendous - no structure - no patterns - players clueless - barely able pass the ball It’s the fucking basics

Just bring on Ritchie and end our misery please

This is a rancid performance

That performance was a disgrace - no excuses - damn right unprofessional

Retiring end of season

He isn’t the profile of midfielder we need so it’s a no from me

Don’t think we will see Schar - Joe - Krafth and Isak until Liverpool

Good shout - He’s very Declan Rice in his style - makes some good progressive passes - can fill in at CB too I am still all out on Yousuf Fofana

I can see us cashing in on Miggy in the summer and we buy a RW to replace him - bearing in mind we have 2 starting RWFs in Barnes and Gordon, plus 2 very able deputies in Anderson and Murphy, adding a RW will finish those positions off I have a sneaky feeling we go back in for Ekitike - fits the profile too perfectly - then there’s Marcus Leonardo

Just hope he isn’t one of those injury prone players Neto - Olise - Bakayoko - Cherki (doesn’t have the pace)

Goes without saying the RW has to be a starter and has to be the same calibre as Botman and Bruno - it’s such an important position that we have to get someone of a high level - if fact our next 3/4 signings all have to be at a high level, which I trust they will

Window or no window, for us to progress to the next level we need 4 players - CB - CM - RW - FW CB - I think we have sufficient depth to see us through - then in the summer buy a long term partner for Botman - a real elite CB Answer - wait until the summer CM - long term worries over Willock - Tonali banned - potential injury to Bruno. Answer - Phillips on Loan - no obligation - buy an elite CM in the summer RW - Murphy potentially back in Jan, so is Anderson - Barnes/Willock unknown - so you potentially have Gordon, Anderson, Miggy and Murphy, who knows how long Murphy lasts - do you take a risk and not sign a player? Answer - gamble on the fitness of Barnes, Murphy and Willock - wait until the summer and sign a top class RW - Bakayoko? Neto? FWD - Isak and Wilson can’t be trusted - ideally you want a hybrid forward in the mould of Jota and Ferran Torres or a J Pedro - how many are out there? Answer - sign Marcus Leonardo - wait until 24/25 and replace Wilson with an elite forward So Phillips and Leonardo - wait and see what happens with Dubravka - short term keeper may be required

I think his problems are away from the field tbh - there’s definitely something not right post his comeback from England - in an ideal scenario we take the load off him - just depends on how Krafth holds up these next t few days You could play Tino RB and Burn LB IF Gordon is out you have to play Hall as there doesn’t seem to be anyone else left

Totally agree - we did what we could yesterday - we could pick this and that - they scored in the 92nd minute through a howler We didn’t have the luxury to start with or bring on Tonali - Joe - Joe - Anderson - Isak - Barnes - Murphy - Schar I do think the next phase out of squad completion is to buy to ensure we can cope in the future - CB - 6 - RW - Attacker - if that bloats the squad so be it

What happened to that winger we had who scored a lovely goal against Gateshead via a Miley cross? He looked decent

By me reckoning - given how players are still crocked when coming back Pope - Pre season Tonali - Pre season Targett - Easter Schar - Liverpool Gordon - Notts Forest Krafth - Notts Forest Andetson - Aston Villa Willock - no idea Barnes - no idea Joelinton - Liverpool Isak - Liverpool - maybe Luton, if so he will be injured again J Muphhy - Aston Villa We will struggle to field a team vs Luton - given Eddies love for Ritchie - he will start

Sureky there’s a player out there who can play all 3 forward roles? It’s a priority - along with a 6 Then a CB and RW in the summer

That was Chelsea at full strength bar the 2 full backs - even then they had 2 internationals playing Find me a team that wouldn’t suffer when having Joelinton - Tonali - Anderson - Willock - Barnes - Murphy - Isak missing - Gordon injured - Miggy spent

Miggy at the end - take the ball to the corner - had a pot shot on goal

That was our 26th match of the season - take out the internationals - around 26 matches in 3 months

We’ve basically played 8 games in 24 days with the same squad - barely had a chance to rotate - no rest periods in between - prior to that we played 7 in 21 days - it’s insane - all tough matches Not had the luxury of rotating 3/4 players a game - our 2 wingers literally played all the matches - same with the full backs - centre backs - Bruno - Miley - Joe - Longstaff run into the ground - Isak strapped up and thrown on - Wilson playing consecutive matches. We will learn from this for sure and make sure next time round we don’t suffer the same

The fact he’s still here - can barely run AND gets in ahead of Hall who is supposedly our future is truly shocking Howe should never be bringing him on

Agree with this - Miggy was spent after 55 mins yet continued to play him The Ritchie sub is unforgivable - might aswell play with 10 men

I can’t see Ashworth leaving for Man U - No way our owners let it happen - They moved heavan on earth for him - he stays
