Mbuemo has absolutely stunk the place up down at the gtech.

yeah, I’ve heard this explanation and it doesn’t make much sense to me. Gordon was going to be sold but we sold Minteh and Anderson instead to solve that one. The Gordon rumours had gone died down before we started bidding for Guehi. Was similar with Isak who wasn’t really linked strongly anywhere, but there were tenuous links to Liverpool around the same time as the Gordon links. This was all during the Euros. We were still going after Guehi in August. Likewise Bruno’s release clause had expired long before we were bidding for Guehi. I think it’s probably more likely we that we have to get maximum value for money with our signings, and that’s hard to do in January so we’re just not bothering with incomings. Outgoings are fine because we can take advantage of some desperate teams. The problem I have with that approach is that we need some quality to come in this season. Everyone will want out come summer if we don’t have Europe again.

nah, can't be fucked with looking at spreadsheets to understand psr. Nobody has really provided a reasonable explanation of how we were bidding £60m plus for Guehi in the summer and now we've got nowt despite sales.

if he wants to go and Krafth is coming back then fine, I guess. I just don't get why we aren't signing anyone

I doubt we’d agree to an appearance based condition given that we know he’s not good enough to barely get a kick for us. Seems more likely it’d be if Juve finish in the top half or something.

I don’t see how we would agree to a conditional loan where the obligation conditions aren’t more or less certain to be met tbh. There’d be nothing in it for us if we did that.

Think this is why we've been much better when Isak has been more involved in the build up like he was in most of the winning run. It pulls teams about a bit more and makes us less predictable. He barely came deep at all today. Didn't get much central play from Gordon or Murphy either.

Tino has had a poor season imo. You want him to kick on because he is so promising but he's regressed since last season. It's a shame Trippier hasn't been able to offer adequate competition.

great news after a shitty day. We absolutely have to make a signing now, right?

don’t think I’ve ever seen Guedes score a goal

really hope we can sell him and it enables us to bring someone in.

it's amazing how the Best Goalkeeper In The World looks like a fraud nearly every time I watch him

think they were all really awful in midfield tbh . Hard to rank them when they were all giving close to 1/10s.

bad game. Not good on the ball and was surprisingly slow to his press and tackles. Hopefully a one off because we'll need him to stand any chance on Wednesday.

so pissed off at that, man

just really irritating watching him trying to win free kicks rather than play football . Refs might've finally cottoned onto him as well.

that's what I mean. Forced by a tactical decision we made to not press with our wingers.

if our home performances are going to be this bad then I think we slide down the table, sadly. Remaining away fixtures are brutal.

don't think the subs were the issue today at all really. We were set up badly from the start. Wingers were defending as second full backs so we couldn't press and that never really changed. Just forced us to defend deep all game and allowed Fulham easy possession.

not sure what he was thinking today. No press at all at home to Fulham is just bizarre.

needs a move tbh. Think the injuries have got to him and he just doesn't looked bothered at all any more.

Kelly? Why?

sick of Bruno tbh

we haven't deserved anything from this game. Been utterly abject.

that's a textbook second yellow for Andersen surely
