The lad is clinical - scary to think how many he could score if he actually got service

The big German does it AGAIN

They're really bad

Got to be before West Ham, Brentford - says Ramsey just coming back from injury

France got lucky - pen could easily have been given

The manager isn't holding us back it is PSR - we cannot afford to pay the wages for the better players. It is as simple as that - Eddie has actually worked miracles to get us as far as he has with the squad we have got.

Someone I sit next to is convinced an extension of St James has already been agreed with the council.

Honestly it's like some forget where we were fours years ago

For those voting yes - please explain why?

Surely not a serious question - I think Adam Clery sums up our issues really well.

Forrest once Bruno scored we played a bit more fluid but I remember against Fulham it was a bit of a slog - wasn't it last min winner? I agree in that I wouldn't say we are fully broken as we can still get results i.e. CL, League Cup but we defo misfiring. Getting the best out of Woltemade is the key for me as I think his lad is absolutely class but I feel it's a puzzle Eddie has yet to solve. He needs time on the training ground with the team - time that he isn't getting.

That's disappointing - am truly gutted it's not true

Love that Always like Messi.

Whilst we have had some decent results at home I don't think we have played particularly well this season.. Certainly in the league. Liverpool game is the only one where you could argue (imo) we showed an intensity.

I think Nick is a phenomenal shot stopper - one of the best in the league. But he's poor at just about everything else. Ramsdale whilst not being as good a shot stoppers, is a better all round keeper - imo.

It's nothing to do with the formation it's the lack of chances the team are creating. Nick is a phenomenal player he's just feeding on scraps. Any striker in this team would struggle, I think it's a miracle he's scored as many goals as he has in this team. As we've created nothing for him. The issue is our midfield / wingers - they are just creating nothing.

I feel for Dan - feels much like a couple of seasons back when Eddie played him at LB - being held out to dry.

There is no logical reason for Ramsdale not to be starting against City but I am not convinced Eddie will drop Pope.

Agreed - I think everyone enjoyed watching us for that season.

They are keys areas in the team though - especially in the CF role. Midfield isn't firing either - Joelinton isn't the enforcer he once was. Teams just seem to pass straight through us. Throw in Gordon being out of form and Elanga not yet hitting the ground running - Eddie has issues throughout.

The issue is Eddie doesn't have the players available for the system he wants to play but atm we seem to have lost all our identity - gone is the quick press, gone is the quick counters. The team look disjointed and out of ideas. He needs to find a way to adapt a system with the players we have available.

Has to miss AFCON - we are in trouble without him.
