Dunno like i think a lot of people were disappointed we paid £28m for Hall, £31m for Livramento, £40m for Gordon, £38m for Barnes and £15m for Osula, at the time it felt we paid over the odds for them. Its more down to Howe's coaching ability to improve them to the players they are now which is his strength rather than his eye for a player at a good price. Hopefully with Mitchell's ability to spot a good player at a good price and Howe's strength on the training pitch we will improve the squad but will probably take another year or two to get rid of the deadwood and improve the quality of the squad depth.

We cant be splashing £40m on a backup striker, we always seem to buy english players which have an overinflated price. We need a first choice new RM, CB & GK as a mininum then some smarter lower cost squad players to replace the likes of Wilson, Targett, Longstaff, Murphy etc.

Not writing him off at all, he's a good player and by far our best CB. He has missed 62 games from 5 seperate injuries, the last four being knee related with him due to miss more games come the end of the year. Hes only any use to us if he's on the green stuff rather than in the physio room. How many more knee related injuries does he need to have? If he continues having knee problems we wont be able to shift him as he will be getting the Demba Ba knee comparisons. Callum Wilson has missed 57 games in same period from 9 injuries, 3 being hamstring related.

Wonder if we need to try and move him on, he's a bit injury prone. Considering both our CBs are snail pace'd anyway might be worth trying to find someone who isnt made of lego and has a bit of recovery pace.

Fixed

A little? I blame Gordon a lot. Not the refs fault Gordon decided to bitch slapp a Brighton player. Gordons stupididity cost us there as if we wasnt so thick he woupdnt have been sent off Lampety then gets sent off and we have 30 mins advantage to win the game.

Fuck me, like watching Mike Bassett Four four fucking two

Well done Brighton Unacceptable performance today tbh, we cant say we have actually played well and deserved to win Too many players on the decline and need selling, Murphy, Schar, Burn, Wilson, Targett Quite a few out of form in recent weeks/months Stupidity from Gordon, needs dropping when not banned as been poor most of this season Howes tactics questionable again, not sure why were playing 4-4-2. Been out done by Hurtzler twice at home this season. We dont look like a very well coached team. Gonna get humped 3 or 4 at Wembley.

Ironically Dubravkas initial psss gave the ball away when he could have went short to Tino

Deserved winner for Brighton

Tonali got in the way ffs

Tbf Ally Mccoist probably more likely to come on and score than Callum Wilson

Whats Schar doing ffs Totally neeless foul

Is it not 5 from 7 in 3 batches dueing normal time and one additional sub in ET?

Murphy man you useless idiot

Yellow, no way a red like

Hurtzlers comes accross as a right prick like

Thats a hell of a save. Pope would still be diving now

More life in the West Road crem

Offside wasnt really that close tbf looking at the graphic

That looks offside

Lampety off, what a numpty

Was a red tbh, absolutely thick scouse pratt

Hope he gets a haircut while hes suspended, proper tramp haircut that

Gordon gone here violent conduct Misses final?
