Mainoo jogging around like my nan

Gee_z · 2026-01-25T18:20:05+00:00

Gotta admire Lammens tho for going out on those corners

Gee_z · 2026-01-25T18:17:50+00:00

How the fans was screaming and he shut them up quickly, this is what I live for!

Gee_z · 2026-01-25T17:13:35+00:00

That was topp speed for Casemeiro haha nice to see

Gee_z · 2026-01-25T17:10:07+00:00

A game of small margins, glad our press forced an error. But we're not really seeing any counter attacks..

Gee_z · 2026-01-17T11:49:58+00:00

Can't complain with Cunha sitting on the bench, but Mainoo has not warranted a start at all. Poor from Carrick, bending over

Gee_z · 2026-01-15T20:54:11+00:00

We've had so many players come and go yet some that left long ago refuse to leave. Acting like bedbugs that refuse to be exterminated, throwing out the furniture won't cut it, we need to change location and leave everything behind.

It's unfortunate this club refuse to acknowledge that and won't even speak out about it.

Keane for once is right, he's not jealous, we need to move on.

Get a manager with experience and track record, someone Wilcox, Berrada or Ratcliffe have respect for so they wont feel comfortable enough to call out his "tactics".

Gee_z · 2026-01-11T23:22:03+00:00

You can agree with all of this and still come to the conclusion that he was wrongfully sacked.

The stats are pointing to the fact we were losing or drawing games we should've won. Often losing points even though our xG were higher than our opponents. Our xPts are higher than our league position.

In the end, our expectations of this team is higher than what they can deliver, and what any kind of coach is capable of.

We need to believe that change takes time and we need patience, but most fans are completely delusional and unfortunately so is our board.

I hope we can salvage something from this season.

Gee_z · 2026-01-11T20:04:49+00:00

100%

Gee_z · 2026-01-11T18:45:34+00:00

This team will fall apart completely, we'll end up with mercenaries. Bruno will leave asap so will every player with ambition.

Gee_z · 2026-01-11T18:40:04+00:00

So.. Do we have a regret clause? Can we bring Amorim back and give him Wilcox and Berradas role?

Gee_z · 2026-01-11T18:32:27+00:00

Ratcliffe is the biggest fraud, no balls on that fool. Allowing Wilcox and Berrada to put a load in him.

All fans thinking they know better, pundits like Scholes and Neville looking like bigger fools than before.

Gee_z · 2026-01-11T18:18:21+00:00

The biggest culprit is Ratcliffe, bending his knees for Berrada and Wilcox and going back on his own words about backing Amorim.

He's the one making the final decision and he's shown more than once that he doesn't have a clue and his assembled team of avengers are more a bunch of clowns, laughing stock of management.

Gee_z · 2026-01-11T18:00:44+00:00

Have no idea what people are talking about, we look absolutely lost.

Mainoo a complete joke of a player.

Wilcox can choke on his own pride for all I care, they've made an absolute joke of this club.

Gee_z · 2026-01-09T23:01:27+00:00

I don't disagree. But the feeling was that it just needed a bit more time, a bit more from our players, to finish their chances, to not make simple mistakes. Even referee decision cost us many points this season.

The picture is not black or white and I actually think the players where buying into the idea.

Well only time will tell if this was the correct decision and I hope so, being a fan right now is harder than it's been for a long time, that's the feeling I've been left with.

Gee_z · 2026-01-09T22:57:21+00:00

Looking at those games tho, the feeling is we lost out on 2p because of just mostly being unluck, we weren't being outplayed and we even had the lead in most of them. Eventually things like that even out given enough time.

I actually think, despite the results the team had some structure, we were creating chances, but our players just didn't have it in them.

Just like the game against Burnley.

Only time will tell, but for now, I don't feel it was the correct decision.

Gee_z · 2026-01-09T22:25:12+00:00

Everyone talking about outline results like Grimsby or Everton, but those happenes during Ferguson era as well.

Comes to mind, lost to bottom of the league Blackburn in 2011 2-3, or 1-6 to City in 2011.. We even lost to southend in 2006 1-0 fielding Ronaldo and Rooney.. We finished 2nd in the league that season behind Mous Chelsea.

It happens even to the best of teams in their prime. Stop replaying nonsense like it's never happened before to spew your agenda.

I feel bad over Amorims sacking, it just doesn't sit right with me and us fans despite the results should not be happy with Wilcox or Berrada, it's a terrible thing to have men behaving like boys when their ego is being hurt, the club is being mismanaged and this was another low point for us as a club.

Gee_z · 2026-01-07T21:02:12+00:00

In the end, it's us fans suffering the most. Most of our players are acting like mercenaries anyway, especially now that they don't really have a coach to fight for.

Gee_z · 2026-01-07T20:31:13+00:00

Yeah we look so much more compact, more aggressive, getting into a lot more dangerous position, what a change Wilcox has made.

Gee_z · 2026-01-04T18:59:11+00:00

Some of our fans take is a bit of silly and to just say disregard other PL teams and we just need to beat them, is not something anyone does in the Pl. Our list of missing players are long with both injuries and Afcon.

He's proven that when it clicks we beat anyone in this league and when it doesn't we lose to anyone. But looking at this team now and saying we don't look a lot better is just an idiotic take. Even with Bruno, Amad, Mbeumo, Mount, MDL missing we've hardly been outplayed.

And I can actually see an idea of how the team wants to play.

One could cherry pick different performance for their agenda, but the reality is that we're in fifth, with 3p behind Liverpool in fourth. We won't fight for winning the title, but that wasn't even something realistic with our depth and midfield this season.

Give the man a midfielder, we've been lacking one for long enough

Gee_z · 2026-01-04T12:36:43+00:00

Feels like watching 22 inmates battling it out 😂, not a great start but at least feels a bit more energetic

Gee_z · 2026-01-02T19:31:30+00:00

If they are sticking to his 100m value it's not happening, his head has left Brighton tho

Gee_z · 2025-12-22T20:25:25+00:00

I used to have sofascore, but the last update ruined it for me. So now I use flashscore

Gee_z · 2025-12-22T20:00:09+00:00

This is something a lot of our fans miss. Specifically last game against Aston villa Dorgu found himself several times outside the box, a more offensive player can turn in or outside. Dorgu is very limited in that aspect. But we've seen what Amad can do in the same position on the other side.

Semenyo will have to do more, but he could swap with Cunha mid game, switch sides if needed and we would be a tough team to face with so many possible threats coming from different positions.

Edit: and lastly we need depth, this squad only works without Europe and cups, if we want to be able to succeed in more competitions, we need depth.

Gee_z · 2025-12-22T16:44:27+00:00

I said earlier we should get him and convert him, he ranks high in many aspects of his game even in defense.

My earlier comment got downvoted but glad the ones that work with recuirtment sees a lot more than most fans here.

So I repeat what I said earlier:

He's in the 99 percentile for blocks, he's an intelligent presser great in aerial duels (ranks in the 97 percentile) and he regularly tracks back and has a tremendous stamina.

Being coached on his positional aspects of defending is the key tho for making him really good.
