There’s also been a few times where we’ve had a good break and rest and still turned up and been crap in the next game.

Murphy can play the energetic back up role on RW though he is different to Miggy. I think Miggys time is up with us, great servant but time to move him on. Quality options need upgrading on that right side and have so for a while now.

Dogshit performance but again when I look at a starting 11 of ours and see Krafth, Murphy, Longstaff and Burn at LB I’m pretty much expecting it to come apart at some point. Sure we can pull off the odd result like Spurs but we’re going to get found out eventually especially away from home. We can’t be having too many games next season when all 3 are playing in those same positions next season.

I was disappointed not to see Livramento start at RB and while I think Howe got it wrong in terms of how he set the team up he was let down by the players last night who were god awful in possession. Team was out thought and out fought by Palace.

Twitter is awful. I have it on the iPad but I probably only look at it once a week, absolute cesspit.

LB needs sorting this summer/early next season, no fucking about. If he rates Targett then use him as the steady Eddie and blood Hall in too. If not ship Targett out and get an experienced LB in with Hall as the rotating LB. I like Burn but sick to god of seeing him at LB.

I think we need a RW who can tear an arse in a defence, stretch the field and create a goal in tight games. We’re too reliant on Gordon and Isak. I suppose if Bruno stays maybe he’ll play higher up with Tonali coming back in 🤷‍♂️

Longstaff assuming he stays won’t be getting the same minutes next year. Miley will be improving and we’ll have Joelinton and Tonali back. We definitely need some more creativity though

Agreed midfield is also an issue at the moment

God I hope not

Those 3 names in those positions in a tough away match against a team in the prem doesn’t have a good look to it.

This is it essentially. Just too many average players in the squad.

Been really poor this evening

Completely forgot lol

😂 nailed on

Tough match, never do well here, surely we’ve got to win at some point ffs. Plenty goals in this fixture.

He’s not going anywhere in the summer. I think we have a good chance of getting top four next season which would probably keep him even longer. If we don’t however I think he’ll go next summer in 2025.

Yeah we definitely need more pace at CB. The thing is I don’t doubt Botman will come back to a really high level but he’s not a speedster and he may even lack his previous pace for a bit post injury.

My mate, a red living in Manchester has now lost patience, the form this season has clinched it. Just not enough progression, players form all over the shop, same mistakes made on the pitch and seemingly ongoing off the pitch nonsense.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Targett in the summer. I definitely don’t see another out and out LB coming in unless Targett goes. There’s also fairly strong rumours about Kelly coming whose another CB who can play LB.

If we get all those we’ll be looking very good indeed. There’s probably an argument that we need two CBs though.

A strong finish to the season with European qualification sets up a completely different summer vibe of positivity. Going to Man U and winning would be the icing on the cake. All the players are obviously aware of how badly injuries have limited potential this season. Most including Bruno will realise that with a fit squad and some additions we will have a very good team again next season. Im starting to think he’ll be here next season now.

😂

The only way Isak goes is if he agitates for a move and it seems like he’s pretty content at the moment. If we’re not in the champions league the year after next then it might be more likely he goes but that’s a way off yet. Just don’t see the club selling him, his current form has almost priced him out of a move anyway as he’d cost an absolute fortune. 120m + Arsenal fans will no doubt assume they’ll be getting him this summer 😂 (I actually think they’ll sign Toney)

I agree I don’t think it has to be a total overhaul. Obviously if Bruno left that would force a restructure in midfield. But assuming no big players leave and then they can ship out a few possibly like Wilson and Miggy and bring in a few in key positions we’ll be looking pretty good. Striker, a right wing option and CB depth seem like the key areas. I’d still love a really solid experienced LB to come in too.
