We really needed to give Bayindir those two games against Wigan and Spurs to see if he's at least a viable option as right now benching Onana is imperitive if we are to have any chance of European football next season. I would be asking the scouts to identify some GK loan options if we can't...

He has this funny way of diving in the air, with both arms equally spread out, as if he's just hoping the ball rebounds off him somewhere rather than reaching specifically for it if that makes sense. It kinda reminds me of a bodyguard desperately diving to take a bullet, just trying get in the way.

I wrote this in July 21st 2021: Nothing has changed in the last two years with this player, my fingers are crossed PSG see him as an Mbappe replacement next summer.

They truly are the Roy Munson of football. I think I hate them now.

What happened yeasterday was horrific and traumatising, potentially season ending stuff from a confidence and moral perspective. But at the end of the day I'd rather lose one game 7-0 than seven games 1-0. We are still in a great position in the league, looking at the upcoming fixtures in all...

I remember when the club gave him the number 10 shirt I thought that was ridiculously premature. He was never a 10 type player, and still isn't. And the contract on massive wages when he had done really very little at that point in his career. Typical impetuous behaviour by the board, like there...

There's a real lack of self awareness with those PR tweets. Makes me feel like whatever needs fixing with him isn't going to happen. If you really must put out a tweet, (and let's face it, we are all sick of 'we go again' type crap), honesty and self reflection on one's own performances and...

Has replaced Andy Carroll as the biggest joke transfer in Premier league history.

This is fantastic news, get those ridiculous wages off the payroll. Squad trimming has begun.

Yeah, sure I understand the nature of niggles, but likewise, most players won't come out and declare that a niggling injury is the reason for their sub par performances for months, as Rashford elected to do. This leads on to the point about England, as in this context of excusing his poor...

This version of Rashford has been with us now for quite some time. The excuse of being injured never sat right with me given he still considered himself fit enough to go away with England at the Euros instead of getting his shoulder sorted. I've alway doubted the narrative that he was struggling...

That's fair enough, I do think though regardless of the particular system, the fact there is one in place is the pertinent aspect, for example, City place a different system to Dortmund, but Gundogan made a successful move there. I don't expect these players to play welll outside a highly...

Well, this is about systems of play, which absolutely influence the peformance levels of players. In that regard, the fact that all these players come from a club which plays a specific highly organised system of play is certainly a valid link in my eyes. We can certainly argue the level of...

The fates of Kagawa and Mkhitaryan cast a long shadow of doubt on Sancho for me. There's also the failure of Nuri Sahin in Real Madrid and Liverpool. Only Gundogan seems to have worked out, possibly because of the extreme system orientated play at City reflects a similarity with Dortmund. I...

Ideally, Declan Rice. The Euro final showed his worth, when he went off the game moved away from England. Completely unrealistic target unfortunately. I think Neves is a good shout, with their manager gone, and the Bruno connection, could work nicely.
