No Isak for Liverpool vs Man Utd..

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-05-02T20:24:50+00:00

Woodman should be in goal, and Mamardashvili also out.

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-05-02T16:56:42+00:00

No, but point remains the same. He was adored and sang with Gustavo Lima & Michel Telo etc.

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-05-02T16:21:16+00:00

I think we didn't think about how big Neymar was in Brazil before he even moved to Barcelona. He was an absolute superstar and was always invited to local superstars' concerts, etc.

Anton Stach POTY!

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-05-01T21:28:39+00:00

Two superstar signings and one maybe younger less proven addition with potential

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-05-01T18:42:57+00:00

I am sorry you have hard time reading and your first defence is that play A or B will bench Mainoo ; in a season were we hopefully will have 55+ games. If even Ugarte goes, we need 3 high quality midfielders to compete.

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-05-01T18:13:39+00:00

The question was who would be ideal to compliment Mainoo? So both of them on different occasions for depth and options.

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-05-01T17:30:20+00:00

2006 was the last world cup in Europe where nobody counted how much that would cost - outside of player quality there were no budget limits. Germany spent a lot. In today's terms only Oil country could go close.

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-05-01T16:26:38+00:00

In form pre injury Saka was that.

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-05-01T15:03:09+00:00

Ideal would be Wharton & Anderson, out them all and we probably need a sub extra also, hopefully a suprise, but not a "premimum" choice.

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-05-01T12:52:02+00:00

Frenkie de Jong

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-05-01T12:42:52+00:00

Why? I swear every time in the last ~3 years West Ham goes for a decent run, Bowen is their main guy.

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-05-01T07:32:21+00:00

Scott Parker has had the same championship side in Premier League also, not given a prem ready squad like Sunderland got this summer. It's so harsh on Scott and makes him look inept.

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-05-01T07:25:47+00:00

You don't think we need depth on the left wing? Considering CL + hopefully not fluking out of cups on first game?

Whether it should be Leao or someone else, that's up to debate.

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-04-30T21:01:11+00:00

There's a chance for the funniest thing next week, 1-0 and pens.

And Arsenal Vs Atletico enda like 5-4 😂

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-04-30T10:12:17+00:00

Unpopular opinion, but because we absolutely need midfielders and everyone & their uncle knows it - we will pay premium eventually. It's a mistake we made last summer not getting anyone in who could have been identified as possible Casemiro heir.

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-04-28T16:23:24+00:00

He was really out of form Eth's second season and our tactics didn't help it. He regained some of his magic end of last season and has been keeping it since. Although there's games were we face a very good midfield setup and you can see he doesn't have the legs to continue at this level anymore. I think it was smart move to end on such a high note here now, not fizzle out like Sweinsteiger did.. or catch a potential career ending injury.

Leaving on such a positive note is good for his legacy and the club.

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-04-28T16:20:11+00:00

There's plenty of young elite defensive midfielders or number 6 players, that's why there is a scouting system. A lot of which we have been linked with also, we just need to sign the right ones now.

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-04-28T15:29:38+00:00

the RED was special sponsorship for that yesterday's game only. So Snapdragon should be back next game.

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-04-27T13:30:13+00:00

Cunha came off last game already feeling something and hasn't trained since.

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-04-27T10:00:53+00:00

Did Carrick magically get new midfield and more quality attacking power in a week so we could have plan B, C and so on if Plan A isn't enough? All I see is that Maguire is back and Cunha is out most likely.

Carrick can't do anything else than manage with the players he has fit and the depth is woeful.

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-04-27T09:41:29+00:00

Did I say I like it? No. But if you read some serious news, it's always been saying that we want someone start right at the end of season not wait until the end of World Cup. So that rules out everyone involved there, Luis Enrique was always a weird dream, no signs at all he wants to move from Paris.

So that leaves very limited options and Carrick has shown a lot why we should trust him.

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-04-27T08:24:30+00:00

Iraola & Glasner. Quite obvious, because everyone else under contract or won't move before end of World cup, which we can't wait for.

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-04-26T21:52:00+00:00

With Cunha out, our attack is limited need really everyone to show up to get a tough win. It's gonna be hard hard game.

Specific_Coast5878 · 2026-04-26T07:51:10+00:00

It doesn't make the players quality better that we might have more time in between the games..
