Just seen the handball - idiotic 

 

I've just seen it as well and judging by the reaction on here I was expecting much worse. It's a header on goal from six yards out with little time to react and he instinctively reacts to try and stop a goal, hardly idiotic. The Burnley handball was 10x worse.

I remember him as a completely different player when he was playing against us, strong on the ball and a constant goal threat around the edge of the box.

 

Just seeing none of this now. He looks lightweight, not much pace, zero creativity. Basically a passenger.

 

Think back to when Bruno made his debut, and following games.. we knew we’d gotten a serious upgrade. Was obvious right from the start. Just not seeing it here.

 

You cannot make a case for Ramsey to start ahead of Lewis Miley or Joelinton.

Feel the same after watching him yesterday. When watching him for Villa he looked like a bull. Strong, full of energy, going past players with ease.

Yeah it wasn't a heinous error. A bit silly but it happens in a flash and it's not like he's tried to save it.

 

It's no great evidence base but I thought he looked alright on the extended highlights. Fashioned a nice chance for Woltemade which he should've done better with (which seemingly comes with the territory with the lad tbh).

I still get annoyed that we sold two players (Anderson and Minteh) for half the price of the two that replaced their positions in Ramsey and Elanga. And you could argue that the quality is far lower too - this makes such a mockery of financial fair play

We’re lacking magic in the transfer window right now

What potions? Is this some kind of sorcery?

I’ve said this countless times on here but not every signing needs to be a ‘top player’. Forget the fee. When you have so many games to play you need a squad of players which can manage all those games. At least some of them aren’t going to be ‘top players’. Some of them just need to be good enough.

 

 

Tbf, I didn't get to see the game live yesterday, but watching the extended highlights back this morning he was more involved that I thought. Still a negative contribution with the penalty conceded, but he did set up Wolt for what should have been our opening goal. I'm hoping there's more to come and we haven't really seen him at his best.

It was idiotic as it cost me 4 points in FPL

Not sure how sticking your arm out stops a goal mind. More likely you get a red and the penalty is scored.

Early days still to judge the both but its more about us wanting to sign only EPL players when they are many talented players we can bring for cheaper from abroad.

[Monters]

Only one game but if Minteh performed for us the way he played for Brighton today there’d be hell on! Looked like he’d won a raffle to get on the pitch, absolutely woeful

Our £45m signings need to be top players.  Or at least Barnes level good. 
 

We should be picking up rotation options for £20m.  

[Sibierski]

Good contribution. Something to build upon later in December when we next see him.

I liked the bit where he ran on to the pitch, looked really dynamic. 

[Keefaz]

Did fuck all 

[Myleftboot]

The way he stretches before coming on are different gravy.

[nemtizz]

Looked so shit jogging on the pitch I turned the game off

[joeyt]

£40mil and he's our 6th choice midfielder

[toontownman]

Still have hope for this lad. He clearly isnt impressing Eddie if Willock is ahead of him.

 

Maybe we are being cautious because of his injury issues. Maybe (definitely) I am clutching at straws.

[Myleftboot]

Your either injured or Eddie thinks your shite son.

Which makes his signing even more baffling since it seems he was a long term target.

Just said that in the Elanga thread as well.

Spending £140m on him, Wissa and Elanga is gross misconduct.

I know it’s almost illegal to have a pop at Howe but that is utterly tragic like.
