it’s the last few seasons that probably skeeed your memory - he started scoring quite a bit for us (6 in 15 in his first 6 months, followed by 3 seasons of 10 goals each).

I think he’s done well in his first season, my biggest concern is that he seemed like a better, all rounded player when he first joined. His hold up and link up play was very good, his finishing was good in Europe (but not the PL). He then went on a run when I felt he wasn’t playing very well...

Agree with everything here. Sure he didn’t have a great game but he definitely wasn’t horrid as many are suggesting. One thing I saw a major improvement on is he actually looked up and passed it around to team mates - rather than his usual try to cut in and shoot every opportunity.

Maguire, Bruno, Onana and Dalot for me. Garnacho didn’t have his best games but the effort was there.

I think that’s it. I understand why there’s two opposite views on Diallo - as he controls the ball and looks up for options each time. For me, it’s good, as more often or not he’ll keep the ball and only take risks when it’s worth taking - like the Bruno chance where he hit the bar. For others...

Really happy he’s turned things around. One of the few that really shows he cares. Looked bad for their first goal, but that was due to AWB being horrendously out of position. My motm

How far away is Amass? I don’t want to rush the young lad, but my goodness that was one of the worst defensive performances I’ve seen where the player has stayed on. Took part in all 3 goals and almost played them on for a last minute winner

It wasn’t clear to me in real time, so I will have sympathy with the ref there. https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/0GMUCqdbJ7 this one shows the angle that Poch saw it from, and it’s clear. Really unsure why VAR didn’t look into this

This is what I’ve been trying to say for a few seasons now, but it’s especially worse this season. I don’t believe in the conspiracy theories and think all refs have it in against us (some I think hate us, like Oliver). Every decision that goes our way get scrutinized and criticized by the...

Defensive wise he’s done well recently and had a decent game today. My goodness when we need a goal and need some urgency he’s too slow on it, or just keeps passing back to Onana.

The VAR call, that was a clear decision. The penalty definitely wasn’t - I felt it was a penalty but he could definitely not have given it. Even some on here think it’s soft. The dive, runs through, initiates contact on our player, falls over. We’ve seen two penalties given against us similar...

I loved his messi moment near the end, wish he would have scored or at least shot

Really? Finally saw a ref give us a penalty today; book a player for diving against us and a penalty ruled by VAR. The ref made some very confusing calls but it was really didn’t feel like any bias towards us today, just a poor ref that really looked lost and overwhelmed

yeah I thought it was a penalty but watching that a few times, it’s a dive. AWB definitely shouldn’t have went down and gave him the opportunity, but it’s still a dive

Overall, It’s been below average. A real lack of direction everywhere from the c-levels, to the mangers down to the players. Money was spent, but wasted time after time. So in terms of managerial signings, it’s been shocking. Managers hired were different each time. Each of the managers had...
