I hear it and mostly feel the same But then I look forward which is where my frustrations come from Think there's a chance to do something great this season once again and would hate for us to self sabotage
-
i'd say what I said preseason when we were linked with him Elanga performed in a system that fully complimented his attributes. Defensive, counter attacking side that would offer him loads of space to stretch in legs in transition. In a side where he'd have to regularly play against low blocks his limitations come to light. This isn't too dissimilar to Pedro Neto's performances and output from his Wolves' days to Chelsea for example. That archetype of player have limitations compared to guys like Saka, Palmer, Semenyo, Kudus, Mbuemo etc who can actually play under most circumstances due to their greater technical prowess

Wasn't malicious but could easily have been a red, especially if away from home
-
I grouped players we were heavily linked all preseason which I argued weren't fit for purpose but was told I was wrong and should 'lay off roids'
-
St Maximan was better than all our current crop while playing with basura and didn't get half this grace
-
It was cool to peeps to berate me all pre season when I said guys like DCL, Elanga, Pedro, Jackson etc weren't good enough. I'm keeping the same energy I don't think you guys are idiots as I don't know any of you. I do think some of you guys have a rudimentary understanding of football and what makes a player good and impactful
-
this is a hilarious retort tbh admins, do your thing
-
I'm proud of him, didn't know he had it in him
-
Murphy and Barnes have had no issues during that period with considerably less minutes, but sure, I'm only telling half the story. Playing next to Isak and now Woltermade has been to his detriment
-
He's as good as I thought he'd be you guys don't watch football and assume this is football manager mind you, this is a forum where I was lambasted for the audacity of championing Tonali over Longstaff so the difference in positions is somewhat understanding
-
this is a bold faced lie and illustrates how the passion merchant bs may deceive some fans the bright Gordon has contributed a grand total of zero prem goals or assists in the calendar year of 2025 let's have some standards please
-
18 months? are we talking about Lewis Miley or someone with over 100 appearances in the prem?
-
they're terrible and it's a sign of player's who knows the passion merchant bs is valid way to masquerade poor play with fans It's all laughs as it came in a win but the energy would change were his actions costly you can be aggressive and front footed without being a liablity, e.g. Bruno and Tonali I'm tired of his antics
-
Gordon needs to give himself a talk while he's at it, been terrible for a really long time now NOL theory crafting why our other speed merchant with poor technical attributes is struggling, gotta laugh
-
all the defenders coming together to embrace him for Barnes' first inject it in my veins
-
They stink and it pains me that in a season where Mbuemo & Kudus got moves we have these two. We might as switch to a counter attacking dominant style as it's the only way we'll get any consistent value out of them. Imagine the aforementioned or Semenyo on our wings...
-
Nasty copout Squad's change every season, it can't be contingent on a single guy If your £60m wingers need Isak to function then I'd wager they aren't fit for purpose
-
I'm not an Eddie outer, far from it. Best manager we've had in my lifetime, so hope the sycophants don't misconstrue this He needs to utilise plan B, Cs & Ds more often. Our general style of play is predictable, when it work's it's great but it puts a ceiling on things when the stars aren't aligned. Early days yet and I do trust and expect him to turn things around, as he's done prior That said, it's my only real criticism of him throughout his very successful time with us. I do sympathise with him having to work with such poor wing play, but then again, he chose them...
-
6 league goals over his last 38, doesn't contribute to build up, costly red cards. Let's coddle him more
-
he's rubbish, it's ok to say it, neither of our wingers are anything special passsion merchants have never fooled me.
-
Who could have predicted that a pace merchant who benefited from playing into open space would struggle. Don't worry, Eddie will fix him, he'll fix them all
