Just players who lapse in defending situations and not able to implement a plan in the final 1/3.Does anyone think that as a squad we still look unfit?? I'm not really buying that excuse. I didn't see a any lack of energy or effort today. I just saw chances not being taken and defensive lapses being exploited but I couldn't lay the blame at any sort of low fitness level. Yes some individuals might not be quite match fit, let's say Kudus or Maddison but that will be the same for every team with returning players. And to my eye I'm just not seeing a bunch of unfit players....![]()
I agree with you! If that's not the reason then it's even more bafflingI could be wrong
Just my kinda take on it
Is this is biggest pay day though?Homo economicus he is not. If he was a rational maximiser of self-interest his career wouldn’t be littered with mutual consent departures.
At Brighton he had 2 points from his first 5 games and they had only scored 4 goals, 3 of which came in 1 game. So thata fairly similar to the position we are in now. He got 3 wins and 2 draws form the next 5 although it included 2 cup games against lower league opposition. Then it was the winter World Cup so a long break before playing again and after that the team took off.
At his last 3 non Prem clubs.

ExactlyThere are plenty out there with it
But the ha rent comfortable yet
I lived Toisin being a pain for the ref midweek for example
We have already seen Fernandes give it out on the pitch
What I think we’re missing is a player or players who really get the club. Guess that it’s because we have no one that’s come through here
I think it’s what we’re seeing at the moment Although he did say the other day he is excited about the opportunity to play 3 players behind domIf everyone fit...who do you think Robs first 11 is?
Sorry so is that Savio on left or right? Everyone has such different views on where he and Maramoush should playI think it’s what we’re seeing at the moment Although he did say the other day he is excited about the opportunity to play 3 players behind dom

For meSorry so is that Savio on left or right? Everyone has such different views on where he and Maramoush should play
I am in a minority here who still thinks Solanke can be decent. Then again watching him today, he was flat footed and seemingly unfit when running back. Definitely one who needs to up his fitness and game.For me
With the available, so called fit players, I’d play
Savio left wing, Marmosuh middle and Kudus right
All behind Solanke
I think Marmosuh is better getting it deeper with more room like he did in Germany
Savio played left wing in Spain
Solanke is there to work the CBS and press
And kudus plays right wing
Then behind them it’s Fernandes and Bentacur for me in a 2 or I’m fine with Tonali too instead of Bentacur
We need to be solid across the back 4 first and foremost. Today is the 3rd game we’ve conceded 3 goals this season and we have only played 6 games! And against a Villa team themselves struggling to score. Everything flows from a solid base.For me

But we were blunt and not solid despite having all the ballWe need to be solid across the back 4 first and foremost. Today is the 3rd game we’ve conceded 3 goals this season and we have only played 6 games! And against a Villa team themselves struggling to score. Everything flows from a solid base.

So you would have signed Palhinha and just stuck with what we did the last 7 games?
We didn't sign a guy like Palhinha for 35 million. He was top-notch defensively and contributed in attack with his goals. Same goes for Romero; he was a hothead, sure, but he was tenacious and scored quite a few goals.
Yes, bought Palhinha, not bought Tonali (Bentancur can do his job).
Kept Spence, not got Robertson
Kept Vuskovich over Sensei & Tosin
Sold Richi and Solanke, spent the 100M saved from Tonali plus whatever we get on a top tier striker, kept Lankshear
Bought a #10
Lots of decisions that in hindsight start to look really bad if this doesn't turn around quickly.
And it's not just RDZ neck on the line now, surely the Vinai/Lange review is up again?
For me I would give Tel a go as a CF. We have nothing to lose trying to and everything to gain. He has performed poorly as a LW. Solanke is giving us nothing. The qualities that Tel lacks we also do not get from Marmoush. Had he played 5 games as a #9 this season I think he would have got us a goal or two.
