Can we entice Peter Crouch out of retirement as well. We can become the new corner team.

Looks like every other full back we've signed since forever. Signed because the good ones cost money.

The plan is just completely gone. Hayden is our best player, playing on the right wing. Almiron running around the middle all alone. Then Joelinton is alone with the ball. Its the 2nd game of the season and we are already being outplayed by the newly promoted team comfortably

Joelinton looks slower than their centrebacks.

They are going to get slammed here but I quite like this Norwich side. Entertaining game

Don't we just have to pay compensation, why would they agree to "compromise"?

The new manager was likely gonna stick him on the wing anyway.

Is that  an idea for a banner?

Christ we are offensively terrible without Perez and Almiron. Nobody around Rondon at all.

What is the point of having a referee in the studio? They all just cover up for each other every time.

Also really wish Almiron would get his goal now. He seems to lack a little bit composure with his decision-making. Really good half from him anyway though.

Always was a clever player with the odd finish in Perez. What I used to hate about him was how he seemed both slower and weaker than every defender in the world, would almost always lose out. He is just bullying everyone now and playing like some sort of fancy-looking bulldozer. What a player he is becoming!

Have to say I love how we have 2 defenders with this passing range, Lejeune and Schar are perfect for our system.

I also hate Barnes with a passion

What is his position? marauding don't give a crap fuck off  centre back.

If there's VAR, shouldn't they be able to review a straight tackle from behind?

Would you honestly believe when we went up again that even under Mike Ashley we would start a midfield of Diame/Hayden 18 months later

Ayoze is very often the one that pulls off the telling clever pass or finish that the rest of the team seem to fail to execute or see. He is just so infuriating to watch because he is weak, cant finish outside the box and is so slow for a small player. He does work very hard though and gets too much grief a lot of the time. Definitely one of the best players in our team offensively, as sad as that is.

The result of our strikers all together costing less than this seasons transfer profits.

Nedved, Nolan, Neymar, Van Nistelrooy, Nesta. Nolan will be in goal, with lightning reflexes like a cheetah.

He just seems so average. A bit of pace and that's it. I'm strongly starting to suspect we signed him and Ki just to sell more sports direct crap in Asia.

Can't really blame the guy whose job it is though. Surely if Benitez gets shafted that guy is probably working with even less in his budget. If he starts mouthing off saying his budget is terrible they will just replace him. It all stems from the poison up top.

Cheers!

Are you able to order a hardcopy still if you don't live in England? I Had a google-look and failed.

Think Rondon has done well on his own. The bullet header was encouraging considering how weak the cross was. Perfect game for Yedlin where he gets to use his running off the ball. We've been as good as we can be with those players to be honest.
