I'm one of his biggest critics, but I'm not sure what he's supposed to do with our midfield. He's put out all he's got and they're getting swatted like flies.

They're just walking through our midfield. Back 4 haven't got a prayer.

If he's injured, he wouldn't be on the bench. Tired, sure, bench makes sense, but not for injury.

So who's RB/RWB? Ely? If so, he'll get battered for pace by Martinelli.

Blimey. That bench 😮

Rishi's hat is formally in the ring. I truly hope the others step aside and leave to him.

I had the some thought. Perhaps Micky is still on the payroll.

We'll agree to differ. I'm in little doubt that race was a factor.

Lovely idea but wouldn't it go back to another leadership contest, and potentially the Sunak disliking Tory faithful?

Exactly this. Sunak was and will always be the wrong colour for the Tory faithful. That, and their selfish yearning to pay less tax, meant he never stood and never will stand a chance.

Ditto. I think it'll be Ely though, and to be fair, I thought he was decent ish against Bournemouth.

Fantasy football scout are often on the money. Their predicted team:

He impressed me against Bournemouth. Looked more assured than he had. Still making mistakes, but he's a proper keeper.

Not sure I follow that. This thread was unnecessary and a felt a bit "look at me". Although I wouldn't have posted as Turkish did, he's right. The irony is that SoG is a frequent critic of others, and refers to them randomly in posts even in response to other people's posts. Turkish at least played the post, and the actual poster. It's irritating and creates posts like mine, yours and others in this thread. Shame.

ANN was our best midfielder against Bournemouth. As for playing a CB there 😩

In a mess, yes, but nowhere near broken. Not sure why it needed another thread though, the points are all there in the other thread.

Interesting. Any idea why he's not been canned?

I get the sentiment, but you ain't living up to your username!

I think the same. Back 3, Djenepo at RWB. Can't see it being Payne or Larios. Whoever it is, Martinelli will have a lot of joy down that side and we'll need the extra body in the middle to pick up the runners. I'm not looking forward to this one.

What did I miss?

Horrible performance, so wasteful with the ball, but a hard fought win. One thing's for sure, Ralph has not lost the dressing room. CB's were good, ditto Perraud, AMN improving, Adams was great, the subs decent especially Diallo and Stu.

Shouldn't have squared up to him. Not sure it merited a yellow for AMN though.
