Tiotes Witch Doctor

We as fans all knew we needed more from th the transfer window creativity wise.

It's like watching a Bruce side again, no ideas, no imagination and second to everything. What is going on?

Too many areas of the pitch where we lack quality, particularly out wide and I'm sorry to say centrally, Bruno is an excellent player but Willock is a passenger and don't think Joelinton has been great in that role for a while. Still think we will end up winning but it will be tight. We still loon solid and neat and tidy but we don't look dangerous at all.

Most impressive I've seen him look today, he made it look effortless, he also can ping a perfect 40 yard pass without barely even lifting his foot or head, so nice to have two Cbs who are comfortable on the ball. Even Burn is pretty comfortable too.

I don't think it's about effort with this lad, but he is definitely a bit soft, much like Willock in the way that that he won't get stuck into anything too physical whether that be a 50/50 ball on the ground or in the air, there's plenty of effort in his general play but he's just a championship player and not at prem level, which isn't really his fault. Obviously I don't know what's went on behind closed doors but we should have got a winger in and this lad should have been touted to championship clubs, which is hopefully what might happen within the next couple of windows.

We matched Palace on the day and were once again screwed over by VAR, but putting that to one side it's what we all knew, just not enough quality in the squad as a whole and any time we have key players missing we will struggle to score goals and really take it to teams, even at home, Almiron, Murphy, Willock, Longstaff have shown time and again they just aren't good enough at this level, and I think when we finish 10th this season we will wonder what could have been if we'd got in a proper CM and or winger a bit earlier. On the positive side though, we've only lost 1 game in 6 and that was a VAR joke, and we've looked fairly threatening and continued our defensive solidity, we need to get another win on the board soon though or arses will start to twitch.

He's just simply not good enough if you ask me, doesn't work as hard as the rest and isn't particularly good at anything, just a slightly below average player.

We've been the better side and Isak trying to be too cheeky with his chance should have just buried it. We've looked dangerous but we need to address the sloppyness, almost every player guilty of over running the ball and being tackled or being sloppy in possession, it's like we are a second behind sometimes. If we address that part we will win the game, it's ours for the taking second half.

Not sure how Willock continues to make it into an Eddie Howe lineup tbh.

We need to move the ball quicker we want an age on the ball and palace aren't allowing it, lost the ball countless times already.

Almiron

Ryan Fraser masterclass today

I love this man

Extremely impressive debut, looks the real deal, most excited I've been by a player in a long time, a few more of his ilk across the next couple of years and we will be up there challenging for top 4 in no time, bright future ahead.

I don't know man.

What we need, CM, RW and RB cover on loan. What I'd settle for, a proper RW. What we'll get, Murphy new contract.

I reckon we are done, and I reckon that's a mistake.

This guy is immediately like going down to 10, and with Wood that goes down to 9.

Pathetic deal, we have been pushovers when it comes to outgoings, deal makes us weaker and gives Man Utd a better second choice than us. We get back an almost 35 year old goalkeeper that we won't be able to sell.

Would play the same team that started Vs Wolves if fit, but with Anderson coming in for Willock. Would be maybe tempted to put Fraser in over Almiron as I thought he looked bright and sharp when he came on.

Can fully see us accepting the loan offer with option to buy, we seem to love giving our players away for free.

Aslong we don't get embarassed here it's been a very solid start to the season, 6 points from our first 5 games including City, Liverpool, Brighton and Wolves away isn't bad at all, considering we probably would have won without the key boys missing.

Moar players plz

Been having a debate with a mate about what we need more, I'm firmly in the Almiron isn't good enough camp so we seriously need a proper RW, but now having seen what our midfield looks like without Bruno I think that area should be priority if it's only one. These injuries are already exposing glaring squad weaknesses all over, but we can't buy a full new squad it will take a few seasons to have a quality squad in full, I just hope we are getting the injuries out of the way early. Personally I'd like a Maddison type middle player as a priority, someone positive and creative, a bigger threat from the RW position brought in, and maybe even a right back on loan until January. Would hope that we can somehow offload Murphy until too so he can play as little as possible.

Willock the invisible man as usual. Longstaff dog turd. Almiron not good enough. Maxi bad decision making. Trippier being rinsed again.
