Alberts Mustache

Absolute moral victory. Liverpool outplayed by ten men. Imagine going on strike to play for that shit lot.

A big positive on Strand Larsen is that he seems to be improving every season and progressing at new levels. Also said to have great mentality, so I can see him developing further in the years to come. Especially under Howe.

His personality is one thing. But for us to play into Chelsea's player wholesale/dropshipping transfer system, and help them turn a profit, is just plain embarrassing.

Please no.

The next striker on our list must feel special when we come knocking . «Please, PLEASE, join us! We've asked everyone! Now You are our only hope!»

Is that David N'Gog?

This bozo knows fuck all. He also misquotes Romano and contradicts himself.

Chris Wood, anyone?

Anything but Jackson. Don't want him, and nobody should help Chelsea out turning a profit.

He'll score six goals for Man Utd this season I reckon

Do we even have scouts?

The main reason being injuries and fitness issues due to the number of games. That should not (in a perfect world) be an issue this year. That being said, I totally agree that we need better cover at the back. But the notion that we are massiveley weakened other than our injuries at CB (re the mention of Minteh and Anderson), is simply not true.

We didn't have Minteh in our squad last season. We lost Anderson, but regained Tonali and added Kelly. We have the same (I'd say a better) squad as we had playing CL last year, going into a season with no European football – with a lot less need for rotation.

We don't have the same amount of games this season, and hopefully fitness, strain and injuries won't be as big of an issue. It should also give us an advantage towards our main rivals. However, our lack of quality cover at the back could cost us the first half of the season, as injuries and exhausted players did cost us a european spot last year.

Deck that clown.

Being consistent and going after your priority targets – that has right mentality, ability and personality to fit the group – builds a winning team. Settling for third and fourth choices, and shopping around for players that's almost what you're looking for, eventually gets you West Ham United.

Positive thing about this, is that there is no hiding the agenda anymore. Love the honesty. Wish City would change colours to red, green and black. Would be so classy. Hope we get a sabre in the crest next season.

Absolutely agree. The lack of proper positioning, closing down and tackling in midfield is just as big a reason for our defensive problems. We need a proper DM, without a doubt.

Class player! And we could definitely use a better left footed CD if we're gonna continue with 3/5 at the back.

I hope we start in the right end, by adding some solid professionals and leaders in the centre of the field.

This also goes to show that just scouting talents will only get you so far. Without a solid group for them to learn from, a well thought out development plan and a system that fits their style of play, you'll end up like Manchester United.

Rafa building a solid foundation with a defensive plan, 100% professionalism and a direction forward is just what this club needs right now. Then we can expand to the next level. Perhaps he could even take on a DOF-role at the club later on.

Norwich: Normann – their best player by far. Superb ball-winner.
