Maybe we tried, but nobody wanted to pay.

How?

I donā€™t think anyone was really poor today, even Trossard who frustrated me at times.

Everyone involved put a great effort in and helped produce a really good performance, could argue it was our best full performance over 90 minutes this season.

He was rubbish at holding the ball up and I thought his touch and control was often poor. He just isnā€™t the player that we were supposed to be getting when we signed him. I know you were a huge advocate, but it really hasnā€™t worked out. Needs to be sold.

I agree in terms of the overall performance, but he was by far the worse player on the pitch for me today.

Iā€™m not sure we have pushed the sale of the playerā€¦we had loads ahead of him in the summer that needed to be sold. Iā€™m convinced that he will be out though when he sign a striker.

This must be the third or fourth time youā€™ve told me this, in this thread too.
The funny thing is (and Iā€™ve told you this before) that heā€™s going within the next two windows, regardless of how he does, and I think itā€™s a good call too.

Sorry, I just find him very frustrating to watch. So much technical ability but doesnā€™t harness it! Any obvious suiters?

Assume you disagree with me on the performance then?

What player were we supposed to be getting? Cos outside of the injuries hampering his run in the team and him building back any form, heā€™s been exactly the player he was at city.

4394

He wasnā€™t great. Certainly not for his standards. He did his job though.
Overall he was solid. I was more impressed with his off the ball contribution(which I think is a big factor in our game).

I believe itā€™ll be hard for him to go in January, partly because we would have to replace him.
Unless thereā€™s some major injury or some hard to turn down offer, I donā€™t see any incomings in January.

4395

I thought we were getting a striker that could bag us 15-20 goals a seasonā€¦

4396

I donā€™t think we will sign a striker in January. Neither Gyokeres or Isak are going anywhere in January, so think we will wait until the summer.

I wouldnā€™t rule out a defender though! Or maybe a cheeky loan deal?

4397

I doubt we sign either next summer. Happy to be wrong though.

4398

Iā€™m hopeful!

First season fired up Jesus before the knees injuries was absolutely electric

Neither Jesus or Zinchenko are really needed anymore BUT when they arrived they were transformational to this team. All the talk was how they lifted the intensity in training and both were very very good initially. Both were great signings at the time, but its also great that the squad moved onā€¦

4401

Still couldnā€™t finish at his peak lol

4402

This guy is a coward man, get him out of my club asap. How are you contemplating a ball over the top from Rice? That was a crucial chance.

4403

Absolutely pointless bringing him on to the pitch. He offers nothing going forward.

I think the wind played a factor in that, if not it was going straight to Leno without Jesus having a sniff.

Regardless, ghost cameo. Same with Merino and Nwaneri.
I think I counted one good action from each in their cameos.

Need a change when Kai is not offering much.

4406

He shouldā€™ve hooked Kai at HT. He seemed to grow into the game, got the assist too.
It was a bad sub imo.

4407

Completely bottled it thinking heā€™d get clattered by leno
