His form has also shown a downward trend because he was injured for an extended period. At least that's the impression I got from his recent matches. That's why I wanted to ask what you all think.

Some expert, a former footballer, I don't remember who, said that you have to double the time of the injury until you're back to 100%.

Yes, we agree on that one.

Yes, the injury has affected his form. He's a great player; he was playing brilliantly before his injury. Hopefully, he'll regain his former strength soon.

Am I mistaken in my impression that his form curve is currently trending downwards?

If Havertz isn't 100% fit for the World Cup, there's a good chance Nick will play against Curacao. And his odds for the Golden Shoe are certainly very good.

I don't think Nick will be in the starting eleven. If Havertz is fit, he'll play instead of Nick. I would put Karl in Gnabry's position. I don't think much of Sané.

Gnabry is injured and would not playing the WC.

Good idea. Perhaps we should arrange a loan with a counter-loan: Isak for Woltemade.

I've given up hope that Nich will be in the starting eleven.

If we continue playing like this, we'll take a 1-0 lead and then lose 1-2 in the second half. But I'm praying for a win.

And how come he is our second-best scorer with 7 goals, after Bruno (9 goals)?

You write that he can't win headers – but he has scored goals with his head in the penalty area. You write that he can't hold onto the ball – I remember scenes where he held onto the ball against three or four players. You write that he can only finish balls that are played to his feet – I remember a goal where he poked the ball into the net with a full-body stretch.

You're denying Nick pretty much every quality a striker needs. That's what I'm wondering.

I'm wondering how stupid Eddie must have been to hire such an incompetent blind player for so much money. And Nagelsmann must be even dumber to call up such an incompetent player to the national team.

I think the same about you based on your comment.

Osula is a fast, powerful player. Beyond that, he doesn't have much to offer. Playing the ball to teammates with clever passes – forget it. I'm happy if he can even manage a straight pass. Vision and game intelligence – nonexistent. If that's enough for the Premier League, fine. Then Nick really has no business being here. You have your opinion, which I respect, and I have mine. Nick is worlds better overall than Osula.

My impression from Germany was that Eddie had made it clear to Nick that he was firmly in Nick's plans as a striker. Given his playing time over the last two months, you can imagine how frustrated Nick must be. When players like Ramsey, Willock, and Murphy are in the starting eleven, it only makes it more frustrating. I'm afraid the relationship between Eddie and Nick is irreparably broken. I understand why the fans are rallying behind the living legend Eddie. But I also urge you to try and put yourselves in Nick's shoes. If you're honest, you'd probably be frustrated too. I don't think Nick will throw in the towel just yet. He's a loyal soul and I'm sure he likes Toon a lot.

His last segment in Toon consisted of 4 appearances from 01.07.21 to 30.01.22.

I despise Cuccurella for his theatrics on the pitch. He often fouls himself and even does the diving.

Is this English humor? I've never heard of fans being known for getting plastic surgery. Or is it because these fans have more money than others and then waste it on such nonsense?

What does "plastic mancs" mean?

As a newcomer, I'm interested in which clubs are the most hated by toon fans. Sunderland is obviously at the top. Who comes next for you?

I've seen Woodman play two games for the Reds now. He's made a very good impression on me. Was he really that bad at Toon? He was only here for seven months.

Even if Nick leaves the club, Toon will always have a place in my heart. Sounds sentimental, but it's true. And yes, I've only been a fan since this season. But everyone has to start somewhere. Except, of course, for those born here; they're Toon fans by birth. For many out-of-town fans, one player was the starting point for their connection to this club. Be glad that a "Kraut" has found his way to you. That's not bad, is it? In my previous post, I explained that I didn't mean to diminish Eddie's past achievements. If that came across as too harsh, I apologize. Maybe it's the translation program, I don't know. In any case, that wasn't my intention.
