Sancho for sure is a must. But if I'm going to be honest, I hope we try and get SMS. Right now, the biggest weaknesses I see are a) Depth of course, b) fullbacks that can play from the back. Our fullbacks are actually quite decent, at least good enough in terms of defence and offence, the...

I think he is one of the best teenager ever. There are wonderkids and generational talents for many positions, but the one position that is the most impactful is the striker. Greenwood has the tools to be one of the most lethal strikers in the game. Take Mbappe for example, he is rapid, keen...

This isn't about the players' quality, its all tactical and mental issues. How many mistakes have we made today? Looking at our attack, we look midtable AT BEST. We need more movement, one-touch passes, and players with the balls take opponent on. James was doing that near the end, but we...

feck this, we could and should have won it. I applaud Ole choosing to give James a start today. And while he didn't have a good game, I'm still happy to see him start, yes, even with knowing the result. In the long run, throwing him into hell might just be the experiences he needs to grow...

I don't think anyone wants to take over from Ole after today. It seems like there's only one kind of manager can make this club work. If you don't buy into what "Defines" the club, you're not getting the best of the club. Many have tried, only a few succeeded. Who else could do it? Ole has...

feck me, Wenger gave us the missing piece to win at Emptyhad AGAIN.

I know we're supposed to hate Liverpool more, but feck City and their Arab money. Liverpool hasn't achieved anything in years and isn't really any threat to us for major titles, I'm more than okay to see City get knocked off their perch for a bit, even if it means Liverpool winning a 2 leg tie...

Jose needs to seriously evaluate his plan for winning trophies because whatever he had plan doesn't look to be working. We're an improvement over last season, but I don't see where this is going. We brought in quality players for positions that needed improvement, and that gave us better...

Normally I don't like to be too negative, but we really don't look like we're up for this today, which is baffling to me, it's the UCL ffs. How are we just playing like it's a friendly game? Just so slobby all around. We needed goals to be safe, and yet we try to play safe, only to then lose...

Not for 50m, but I would take him, wouldn't be my first choice for an RB. But I think a lot of his regression is from playing for Arsenal and Wenger. Being in the right club and manager can make a huge difference to a player's performance. I wouldn't write him off at all.

The old wingers hug the line and look for a cross. The new, more modern wingers are there to stretch the defence wider, and use freedom of movement to disrupt defensive line. The wider a defence have to stretch to in order to provide adequate cover, the more gap there is everywhere else...

While we have a good tally of goals this season so far relatively speaking, our actual offensive power is still weak. We have talented players who can score goals in clear-cut chances. So when the opposition's defence is poor, we'll score 4. But when they are good, we don't score nearly as...

I'll fecking take that lol.

Absolutely earned his place in the squad. But our CAM, CM and FBs are all ageing. If we want to win the league and be at the top again, we need to replace some of them with younger players with more quality and potential. Pobga is most likely 2-3 years from his prime, we need to find players...

Robben at 2015 wouldn't have been a mistake. We still don't have a right winger, and few are as good as him.
