Agreed. Many similar faces that publicly shat themselves on this forum last September are back, after 3 league games.

Make your mind up. Invite the press or don’t??

Yeah on the back of the rock solid argument of “promoted in spite of him”. Your legendary status on here continues at a great pace. Keep up the good work.

Incorrect. De Zerbi invited the press to a level never seen before in football.

Cool, you’ve just kissed goodbye to Poch, Koeman and even WGS.

De Zerbi’s Brighton were a great example of what?

Sorry mate, is this opinion or fact? As far as I’m aware it can’t be fact as I don’t think you’re a player or part of the coaching staff.

I was stating that your opinion may not be as watertight as you may think.

Many good managers have come into the Premier league on the back of “failures” or limited top flight experience and gone on to be what could be considered as successful; we’ve had our share and it’s the market we are in.

I’ve not heard any post match interviews. What did RM say that was throwing the players under a bus?

Very very predictable reaction. Many on here could do with growing a pair and showing some respect. Like many of the players, the manager is also learning a lot very quickly at this level. This team needs a bit of time to gel, I think it will look quite different come the next international break.

8 given no proven centre forward through the door. That said, Archer could well be decent striker for our battle ahead.

Is a striker really on the radar for the club? I fear many on here will be disappointed come 11pm tomorrow.

He’s gone to feed Fluffy and Fang.

JWP is a smart lad, he’d soon learn the way of the Russ. He offers premier league dynamism, something Aribo and Smallbone may never quite achieve.

Stunned that we’re signing Ramsdale, thought loan most likely but fuck me that’s a very good bit of business. Chapeau to all involved.

Should start if we play 3 at the back.

Was caught a few times in possession but a superb performance overall. He will come on a bundle for this evenings performance.

Great performance for his age.

Ahhh this joke never gets old… I mean funny, this joke never gets funny

Fairly certain Lallana starts this, hopefully he gets 60 minutes but might only be a half. Likely to be in behind 2 strikers at the top of midfield diamond. Really looking forward to seeing Les start, options at are six crucial for us. Would also like to see Dibling alongside Fernandes in the eight rolls.

Yeah and the Turkish clubs will take advantage of their window closing later. Expect nothing to happen until September.

Philosophy does not equal plan.

TP is just not mobile enough, and would require a dramatic change in the team’s philosophy to bring him into the game. We are going to continue to play the way we’ve played since the beginning of last season, to rip that up is no guarantee of success. The performance at Newcastle was ok, although having seen them at Bornmuff I’m not convinced it was as good as I first thought. Forest was largely disappointing but if you change your philosophy following such a performance you’ll run out of options very quickly. Stick with what we know, support the boys in what was always going to be a difficult season.

Possibly. January is crap window to be stuck desperately needing a key position to be filled.
