Tbh Swansea were hopeless for the last few months of the season

We'll agree to disagree then. He certainly didnt play well in his 45 mins against Arsenal and as you said struggled against United. He didnt play against Norwich and only 45 against a knackered Brighton the other night. He would need to put in good performances in our last two games before we should consider paying 10-15 million for him. My opinion just.

Dont get the buzz around KWP. IMO hes looked okay in some games (was awful against Arsenal). Hes too lightweight and gets muscled off the ball both defensively and offensively way too easy. Yes he looks a better option than Valery, but thats no mean feat as Valery has been shocking this season. Honestly believe if we want to push on for a top half/top 8 finish next season we need to set our sights higher than Spurs' third choice RB. Also the fact that Levy will try and squeeze us for every penny. Would rather we pushed for Maehle or Zeefuik. Two stronger, more dynamic full backs - and both would likely be cheaper than KWP.

Vestergaard getting alot of grief for the goal and rightly so, but Bednarek was equally as bad. Too far off Maupay and gets done for the extra yard when Maupay lets it run across him. Looks terrified of playing a forward ball too, everythings sidewards or backwards to McCarthy. Least Stephens makes use of the space he gets and drives into it. All the more reason why we need two CBs this window

Obafemi was dreadful, just got bullied. Adams comes on wins a good header and Ings is through to score. Should have scored too

Sky Sports latest article saying that we are still pursuing two CBs, Salisu and N'Dicka mentioned. Be good if true, particularly given that we could be minus Yoshida, Hoedt, Danso and Vestergaard from where we were last sunmer.

Looks like hes carrying a bit of timber after returning from the bad injury he had. Would need to up his workrate for Ralphs liking. Very good on the ball tho

Adams for me. Its not a question of whos the better player....its more about who compliments Ings the best because hes our focal point. Chelsea game aside, Obafemi hasnt really taken his chances as a starter. Adams deserves a run to the end of the season. Its also not a good sign when a manager highlights a young players application/commitment the way Ralph has with Obafemi. He mentioned how tough he is on him again in the post match interview

Chelsea away aside, Obafemi has not taken many of his opportunities when starting. Good to see him get a goal off the bench though and keeps the competition among the strikers. Still see Ings and Adams as the partnership with the most potential going forward. My opinion just

Too little too late for Bmuff me thinks. Still 3 points adrift, worst GD compared to WHam/Watford and away to City, home to us and away to Everton their last three games. WHam and Watford play each other next too so one if not both can pick up points

He's been benched the last 4 games for them, likely due to the uncertainty over his future

I thought he had already a deal with Hertha

Kits look ok. Not a fan of the shield around the badge, reminds of bit of 2006 flybe kit. Much prefer the third to the home. Lets see what the away brings. Honestly more interested in the training gear which i hope is better than the last few years

Another fantastic performance from Jackenbauer. Thought Bednarek was very good tonight as well. Still believe we need a starting CB with Jack/Jan fighting it out for who plays alongide him. No coincidence we're looking at Salisu/Disasi etc. Be interesting to see if the likes of Alfie Jones or Christoph Klaer step up to be 4th choice next season if Vestergaard is moved on. Hoedt wont be back either

Fantastic stuff. Really chuffed for Che, and what a goal to get off the mark. Defensively as a team we were excellent, and although we rode our luck at times, Ings/Armstrong/Redmond all had great chances for us to get a second. Special mention for Walker-Peters. Thought he was out of his depth against Arsenal, but he certainly redeemed tonight. Didnt give Sterling a kick. He could be an option for us after all, but only if Levy sticks a sensible price tag on him

He hasnt played the last few games, no doubt over the uncertainty of his future

Hope not. I just cant see Forster reestablishing himself here. Yes hes done well at Celtic, but hes rarely troubled in that league and he seems buoyed there because hes a fan favourite. His confidence was shot at us and he just isnt that good a keeper for PL level. Gunn is young and can still prove himself. Bit harsh that some have pinned the 9-0 on him, he couldnt have done anything for most of the goals and had a shambolic defence in front of him
