Tonalis Bookie

I got battered for this take a few weeks ago. Was never at the level we want to be

its embarrassing that he doesnt get in, hs probably in our top 3 most talented players yet hes not even 4th choice in a midfield 3 it would seem

pope

Tonali on the bench is infuriating, Kelly at left back is strange when Tino did brilliantly there. Feels like each week we pick a team that actively hampers us

Murphy left on?!?!?!?!

next manager abuse already

Think the issue here is we signed a player in Lloyd Kelly who is probably lower quality than them both and injured far more

Rather play dubs at CB than kelly

Can’t keep the ball, let’s not bring on Tonali, Murphy will do a job

60th min is close

Rabiot

Luke, wrong as always

he isn’t wrong…..

'Divert funds' - I've been around a lot of deals and not once have I ever heard a club or manager say they cant divert funds at this stage

Can we put on record my opinion shifted in July 2023

This has never been about what was best for the club. We didn't fly to Milan as Eddie didn't want people to see us train, this wasn't for the players or the club. This was all the red flags anybody should have needed. We have a small time outlook by having a buffer in the backroom that is his nephew. Any other club we would be laughing at the manager for this.

anybody think it could be the old incidence of "you dont back a manager you dont trust"?

"What exactly does Ashworth do?" - he did deals quickly and efficiently and got targets we want. Huge loss.

Blackburn

yep, never seen him play, obviously.

should never have been purchased and he was bought due to some of his affiliations. Should have saved the wages and tagged them on to Tosin's offer or to actually get the defender we wanted. As somebody said above, his team at the time seemed all but content to let their injury prone defender go out of contract and leave for free. He wasnt in the market we should be shopping from. None of this is his fault and I will always back him when he plays

Like a new signing

Bad feeling on this one

id like to see barnes tried on the right and have him cutting in. Never seen him even tried on the right but cutting in may give Tino the room to get in behind on the overlap

15m - 20m or less, yes. Otherwise it’s a new Damien duff
