Ikon Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Just now, Kid Icarus said: I'll back Howe on that one. He's performed bigger transformations than Elanga. Well let's hope so, I just don't see it. I've followed him for a long time and I was against us signing him from the beginning. Just lacks general footballing ability and IQ. Said it before the season started that he's NOT the solution to our right hand side and that he's a very limited player that won't evolve us, one who's quick in straight lines, and even then mostly without the ball. He had the perfect setup at Forest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really we shouldn’t be in the same league as Man City with the resources they have. Every one of their subs would start every game for us and the gulf in technical ability is absolutely crazy. We worked hard to make it close but the deck is absolutely stacked against us. The fact commentary makes no mention of this is mental to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 So here's the sobering reality ... I don't remember a single thing any other winger did down the wings today. It's ridiculous really. The others can't even manage to make the same runs in behind to get into similarly dangerous positions. The winger situation at the club is unbelievable. Gordon has now gone upfront and has left the others to it and there's been no improvement whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How anyone thinks this is fair is beyond me. Just make a fucking cap if you're worried about money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Our entire front three looked a bit ineffective today. Set pieces were our route back into the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our resources compared to Man City are scant, but we’ve spent a lot of money on wingers compared to the majority of clubs in the division, and ours don’t look much better than most of them.

As far as taking on defenders go and at least worrying them to some degree, I'm pretty certain we have the worst in the league, now Gordon is upfront. West Ham, Wolves and Burnley are the bottom three, and I see the likes of Summerville, Mane and Jaidon Anthony from each team respectively, causing teams far more problems consistently. It's crazy really. Edited February 21 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) Irrespective of unfairness and the gap to City, we've spent badly here, in the new regulation climate and old. We've spent £55m to get someone worse than Murphy who himself even though worked on by the manager really has been kept at PL level because of our hands being tied behind our backs.
