Rogers carried them at times this season, usually they didn’t look very good to me but then he would pop up and make the difference.

I’m not sure we were unlucky this season. Us losing points from winning positions is because our tactics are inflexible and we have poor game management. We can’t control possession and resist a press. It was a weakness even when we were good.

Could get even more depressing in Autumn.

Tbh if you’re a player and you’re looking for reasons that things will be a lot better next year, I’m not sure what you would come up with. The only change I can see is we’ve hired Ross Wilson, which is a bit of a so what.

Chelsea don’t have Europe next season either, and they say they don’t offer crazy wages anymore. We shouldn’t be losing anyone to them.

You can ignore any rumour that is about a swap deal.

I don’t think Howe is interested in that type of midfielder.

It’ll be a sad sight if our form continues next season and the crowd gets ugly.

Conceding goals can have a negative effect on a teams performance.

I like it. For me though impossible for them to make a buyable shirt as long as they have the blank bit on the back.

The January window was the killer for me. We were in need of a couple of players and the European places were wide open. Nothing got done and the CEO called it exceptional. In the end we got exactly what we deserved. I’ve no idea what to expect from the summer window, hopefully something better than exceptional.

I think most teams in the premier league would’ve matched our CL performance. You would have to shit the bed not to get into the playoff, and then we got a team that would come 20th in the premier league.

It’s a 1 or 2. Thiaw - decent enough, but he’ll need a leader as partner. Ramsdale - pap. Goodbye. Ramsey - very expensive midtable player. I can’t give much credit for this. Woltemade - did some good things but realistically I think we’ll do well to break even and get someone more suited to us and the league. Elanga and Wissa - £100m bomb squad material, shouldn’t be part of the first team squad anymore. You get minus points for these.

It sounds like he’s considering Palace.

Would you give him the whole of next season? Hypothetically, if our form carries on at the start of next season, would you make a change after 10 games or so?

2/10 It’s a 0 for the premier league, and we did well enough in the league cup and CL, though I wouldn’t say we did anything outstanding in either. The new format in the CL helped enormously.

We need a bomb squad for these guys, they shouldn’t be in involved with us next season.

The evidence that things have run their course has piled up, It’s time for some proactive management from the board. I don’t want to see things get ugly next season.

He’s crap. I would try to sell or loan him out for whatever fee we can get.

He’s said he doesn’t want many new players though.

Ramsdale will probably cost whatever we brought in for Pope, plus his wages are 100k+. I can’t see a way in which it makes sense. If Pope wanted to leave I would tell him next summer.

I don’t think enjoying working with someone is a good reason to spend millions in fees and wages on them.

What are your expectations? It sounds like a possible £200m on midfielders alone, if they are actually after 3.

They’re after around 3 midfielders. They’re going to spend an absolute fortune, probably similar to Liverpool last summer.

From my Dennis Wiseing Afonso Moreira looks like the best LW we’ve been linked with, or at least the one that relies least on pace in behind.
