Onana Wan B - Lindelof- Martinez - Dalot Casemiro Fernandes - Eriksen Antony - Hojlund - Rashford Midfield 3 deeper than we have been playing with pace up top to counter and ball players able to pick them out in midfield

There’s definitely a good player in there but you need to be physically strong or energetic to survive as a deeper midfielder in the premier league, the intensity is so high. If Bruno wasn’t fit all the time he’d have gotten more of a chance as a #10

Why can’t we take Cucurella for the season and let Malacia go on loan in January?

He can play in the same team as Bruno, we just haven’t got it right yet. I prefer Bruno from the right personally

That’s embarrassing.

Thanks for the insight. The issue I foresee is that we tend to have a good amount of possession, especially at home against the weaker sides. Consequently we look most uncomfortable in transition and that has been exploited frequently this season. If it’s also a glaring weakness of his, I can’t...

So the consensus is that he’s not a particularly good defender, so we can expect him to be more useful going forward. His attacking return in his best season in England amounts to one goal and one assist. His replacement at Brighton, Estupinan, already has one goal and two assists this season...

I’d rather give Fernandez an opportunity but I guess we have to trust the coaches that see these players in training every week. At least it’s not [Irrelevant point].

Touché. I don’t think we can rely on martial to stay fit, but I don’t think we have a choice because we can’t currently afford to replace him. For me, it’s worth the gamble while Hojlund develops.

He’s had a terrible injury record, but if we have Hojlund rotating we may be able to manage his fitness better. He’s still the best centre forward that we have. Supporters are very quick to give up on players, as evident with the desire to write off Rashford before last season. If the offer was...

If you can’t see that martial improved us then you just don’t know football at all, he was decent for his first game in a long time and on another day could have scored. His movement in the box and hold up strength are streets ahead of anyone else we have that can currently play there...

My spurs supporting mate always rated him, which is good enough for me. At least you know what you get with him and he leaves everything out there on the pitch. It’d be a reactive signing rather than proactive though, a bit like Antony last summer. Poor execution or poor planning, either way...

100% Not so long ago players were praised for their professionalism and desire to fight for their place. The guy did extra training this summer and people still follow the media driven narrative. I’d much prefer a player that wants to be here and work hard than one that doesn’t. He’ll get his...

I’m sure he’ll reassess in January if he’s not had enough game time, but he’s got very little competition. Colwill is a huge talent but Maguire has experience and England form to fall back on. He’s still among England’s top centre backs. It’s also very flippant to suggest that £5m+ is just...

There’s a lot of facetious people in this thread claiming that they’d just give up millions to go and join a West Ham side that narrowly avoided relegation and play some of the most negative football under David Moyes. It’s definitely not the simple decision that many claim.
