Humour me a moment, but why is he being talked about like a geriatric who can barely muster the strength to kick a ball straight when he scored 19 goals in 24 games in La Liga only last season?

Because the transfer fee ended up so high, the agent's fees were enormous (£20m). Three different parties demanded a slice, including Junior Pedrosa (Antony’s agent) and SEG, who are the agency run by Kees Voss, who also happens to be Ten Haag’s agent. Not quite sure how they can say there’s...

Since he signed in 2022 he has played 55 games at a running cost of more than £12 million per goal If you add in his two assists then it’s £9.4 million per contribution which is a bit better I suppose He earned £15 million in wages in that period

throw £85m on Antony into the mix and it’s why he will be gone before the end of the season

what positives are there about the club?

Was genuinely shocked by how bad he was today At what point does a run of form just become the standard?

This feels like the end is coming, I don’t think managers ever come back from these positions - he’s lost the players. And the players aren’t good enough anyway

Rashford, Hoijlund, Mount, Garnacho, Sancho and Martial have managed a combined total of one goal in the Premier League this season

We’ve got incredibly poor to average players in every single position Add to that no coherent playing style whatsoever Never going to be a recipe for success

People who think that the decision to bring him back will be moved on from reasonably quickly are vastly underestimating the world we now live in. This will be a public relations disaster at best and at worst has the potential to derail our season completely. It will be much more than simply...

This wasn’t meant to be a doom and gloom thread by the way, I’m actually optimistic about this season and what ETH is doing But unlike other top sides we don’t tend to get goals from midfield and so the focus is put much more on having prolific forwards

It’s a problem that’s been getting worse every season, and last time out we were 50 goals behind city and 40 off Arsenal. While I’m aware we are chasing a striker and ETH acknowledges the issue, it’s unnerving that our focus seems to be on a young player in Hoijlund that is not certain to...

The famous Harry Redknapp press conference where a West Ham fan tells him that Frank Lampard will never make it as a player (while Lampard is sitting there) is always a good reminder of the difference between armchair/internet fans judging young players versus actual football people seeing them...

We are 34 goals behind arsenal and 41 behind city. We need to find players that will get us an extra 30 to 40 goals a season; not easy. Kane I think would probably get 20-25 of them. Still need more though.

Incredibly poor starting eleven and nothing much off the bench Squad needs a lot of work over the summer
