Les Reed stated time and time again that the manager has the biggest say within the transfer committee

IF, that is the case, can see keoman walking before he takes us down and ruins his reputation he has rebuilt

sam byram linked to us as chambers replacement

why cant we just say no he wont go on strike FFS

if this happens there is something seriously wrong at the club IMO

apparently do tell us where you heard this one DPS

yet we managed it last season, just fine

its about a squad of players though. who is to say that chambers wont push on even further this season when do we stop selling players?

selling chambers for £12m is just daft selling shaw for £30m is a different ball game to selling someone like chambers, who has loads more to learn for such a fee more so as we really (surely) do not need the money

well, they show that we created the 8th most in the league with only a couple behind arsenal so, we created chances. lots of, it seems

its not odd we just received £30m for our starting left back. I would like to see us invest part of that into a replacement of real quality to start/provide competition

I really hope not, TBH

well, it did we failed to score them remember the middle of the season, when lambert looked terrible. remember games like fulham at home when we missed so many. liverpool at home etc lallana was good for a scuff straight at the keeper

thought he did alright just hope he can handle anfield and sterling in a few weeks

those links say that we did create a lot of chances. literally a couple less than arsenal

and that man walked on the moon?

8th most in the league (ironically) so, to suggest we didnt really create chances is just plain wrong http://www.squawka.com/football-team-rankings#chances-created#team-stats#english-barclays-premier-league|season-2013/2014#0#90#any#any#season#1#all-matches#total#desc#total http://www.squawka.com/football-team-rankings#performance-score#team-stats#english-barclays-premier-league|season-2013/2014#0#90#any#any#season#1#all-matches#total#desc#total http://www.squawka.com/football-team-rankings#possession-&-passing#team-stats#english-barclays-premier-league|season-2013/2014#0#90#any#any#season#1#all-matches#total#desc#total

then why did we create loads last season (only to miss so many)?

so why did they look better. what did gallagher do tonight? reed was OK. still dont get all the fuss McQueen was lively but so were their subs

not sure what your point is? international football is very different to the premier league hence why john bosejour looks brilliant for chile yet crap for wigan. Bryan Ruiz was terrible for Fulham for years and excellent at the world cup also why steven gerrard can drag liverpool to a Champions league win yet look average for england

completely different kind of game

deffo a 433 looked good in most parts in the 1st half but actually created little (or nothing) for Pelle looking to get it forward quicker and wider more JWP looked good in a 3 in the middle Fonte looked good targett was OK what we have though, is an appalling lack of depth. Lovren is as good as gone, I make that TWO CBs we need with a LB, GK, Wide player and ST we have a huge amount of money to get that. their subs tonight looked better than ours

Pelle has had poor service tonight

looks alright deffo a 433

decent turn out deffo a shift in tactics from last season 3 in the middle and looking to get it wide
