Crab Lungs

At end of the season, assuming we’re still in the PL: Hierarchy clear out - FK, Ralph, Gao, Reed and Wilson with his team of nerds on Apple Macs out. In - Attacking, high pressing manager; break the bank for Roger Schmidt. Back him. Average, poor and aging players out - Long, Lemina, Davis, Forster, Hoedt, Redmond, Austin out. Target 4-5 top quality 20-30m players and go balls out rebuilding the spine. 2 new centre halves, try and get Wanyama and/or Schneiderlin back and look for a Mane-esque frontman. Compliment this with 2-3 promising youth players and existing squad. Contact existing season ticket holders and apologise sincerely for the last 3-4 years. Offer them 100 quid off as an apology if they renew. Start to create a buzz, vibe around the club without w4nky cartoons or half-assed promotional material. Allow the manager to implement his style throughout the club: 4-2-4 high octane, exciting, pressing football. Start to be ‘the real deal’ and match the words with performances. No more empty platitudes or ‘knowing our level’. Give licence to the players, manager and fans to write a new chapter in history. Just.... go for it, every game.

This. 100%

Roger Schmidt. Might as well play 6 up top as we’re gonna concede goals anyway

And he’s never goal side of the player he’s supposed to be marking, ever.

“I think Hoedt has looked good this season” Seriously, WTF.

Brighton chasing shadows ... need to put this to bed. Excellent stuff so far. Redmond a completely different player and having two dynamic centre mods helps. Lots of zip about us. Too stuff

Doo doo doo Michael obafemi You know that’ll be the chant

He was poor in most of the games he was tested. When teams were getting 1-2 shots on target per game max then it doesn’t really tell you much. The moment we lost our spine and teams sussed out all you had to do was shoot, he was found out. Citing 1 or 2 fixtures since 2014 doesn’t mean he’s a good keeper - he never has been. He’s lacked all the basics and mugged a living for years.

Absolutely mental. Proper mental. He’s fkkkin sh1t. This is going to be like the Forster thing.... after about 3 years all the dinnies are finally convinced when someone on Sunday Supplmement says he is poor. #henrywintersportsfans

Seriously wtf. Anyone who thinks Hoedt is any good seriously ain’t right.

Please no more Wesley Hoedt.

Hoedt was sh1te, again. At fault for the first goal initially though everyone wants to blame Cedric because he’s small. Luckily for Champions League Wesley, he was rarely tested in this game or he’d have looked even sh1tter. If this was one of our better performances in recent times and people feel buoyed by this then they’ve very short memories. It was only 4 seasons back that we’d genuinely give any side a game; we had a solid spine (Forster aside) complimented by genuine pace. We could hold possession, but also had the option of going direct with Pelle. Our recruitment since the summer of Puels tenure has been nothing short of fkkkking disgraceful.

Gao, Krueger, Reed, Wilson. FKKKKKK OFF

Weird. Proper weird.

Not seen him do anything decent since he's joined, tbf.

What a cracking fans forum though. What a guy.

Lol. So many nothing footballers in this side. I’d hate to be Bertrand, surrounded by this sh1t

He’s also another nothing footballer who offers nothing...

So easy. Mess of a team.

Maybe both have got buyers on the continent...

That is genuinely weird.

I’m genuinely confused about people rating Hoedt. I take it these people have never kicked a ball before.

Big season for Redders and his career ambitions

And far more reliable. And that’s saying something. He’s an 18m lamppost.
