We were told that Broja is our biggest issue…. Yet every time he doesn’t play, we still create fuck all and still get carved apart at the back, almost as if, like most suspected, he isn’t the biggest issue…

Didn’t realise he was playing..

4th choice striker for us now. Really disappointing signing given he was signed to replace Ings and can’t get a look in.

Ha! Just watched this as was genuinely interested. The comment around Kane, lukaku, Sanchez consistently outperforming their XG made me laugh. We had a debate about this last week where we were told no players out perform their XG (despite proving they did)…. Looks like I was right after all 😂😂 Anyway, Simeu.. yeah he’s not gonna make it here.

Chapel end. He even went to the lengths of starting a thread to say about his ‘mistaken identity’ and how it definitely wasn’t him 😂

😂 classic. Funny enough, I was just about to ask what happened to Always/Chapel end. He/she/they were partial to a good bit of aggro. part of me wonders if he gained some perceived intelligence and now posts as someone who’s name starts with T…

Spend that saved fiver wisely…

One day closer to another beating, where we fail to score and the same debate rumbles on for another week… oh you love to see it

Jesus. Perhaps explains why he’s still here. massively over paid. Lage, moyes & Howe massively underpaid.

This is a really fair argument. I do get the point that we’d rather have the ‘ups’ we get under Ralph even if we have to suffer some ‘downs’ along the way. However, for me, I think I’d rather a degree if consistency. That way, I’d have faith we can actually improve.

Ings, much like Broja, scored most of his goals in a run if form. He also dropped off the back end of last season, in a strikingly similar way that Broja’s has this season. to be honest, I don’t even care anymore. I can’t believe you’re still going on. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so rattled by a player. Absolute heads gone.

It’s pretty obvious that he’d likely score more or have more chances to score playing for Chelsea than he would us.

You slag him off in every thread you fool 😂😂😂

Agreed, linked with him towards the back end of last year weren’t we? would know Crocker from time at the FA as well. An ugly bastard though, so won’t go down well with the hipsters

not even me this time, I was fairly neutral until he said Borja is our biggest issue. Twar would argue with a brick wall if he could though.

You have a clear agenda. It’s boring. Focus your energy on the fact Armstrong isn’t good enough to dislodge him. no single player is our biggest issue, collectively we’ve not been good enough for a number of reasons.

I really don’t think he’s the answer. Our trouble is we have no directness in the middle of the park, the last thing we need is redmond cutting back in side and slowing it all down. Again. Tella should get a game IMO.

This is a fair debate and to be honest, I don’t disagree. The rest of the hateful shite you’re spouting is laughable though. I can only assume you’re trolling at this point.

I mean we just conceded 6, which should have been more, in a game where he didn’t even make the squad. As I said, if we don’t have any better then what choice do we have than to start him? Not having any better isn’t his fault, so I’d say off the bat a bigger issue is the fact A Armstrong is fucking rubbish. I don’t believe for a second, at the start of the season the club or Ralph thought Borja would be his first choice ST. Armstrong, being shite, is a far bigger issue. Our biggest issue is we cannot defend and move the ball too slowly. Ralph is our biggest issue atm IMO.

Has it not crossed your mind that we don’t actually have any and Ralph, like most on here, think that He and Adams are our best options?

Yep, you’re right. Took the words out of my mouth.

Agreed.

Agreed, imo we need in the below order: Keep one, replace one - GK Striker CB & a creative winger / 10 tbh, give our situation I’d happily extend FF for another year to allow us to shop elsewhere to improve the squad. Striker, ideally keep Broja, that seems unlikely, so I’d say a new striker is essential. CB, I’d try and ship Bednerak off. Doesn’t need to be someone expensive. I’d rather an older experienced head, if I’m honest. We could do with a back up to Romeu. I’d be looking to shift, McCarthy, Bednerak, Redmond, Djenepo, Theo, long and even A Armstrong if we get an offer what we paid for him. Big summer ahead, as we’ve been saying for the past 4 years.

I’d be tempted to stick with the back 3 but go to a 3412, with Armstrong in a natural ‘10’ position. Forster Bednerak Luanco Salisu KWP JWP Romeu Perrud Armstrong (toss up between him and Moi) Adams Broja

Other than Forster, who did?
