Oh definitely its a learning process. My worry is that the squad is so paper thin, we won't get the chance to nail it down. If someone had said to you at the start of the summer that we would get rid of 8-9 and bring in three including a 30 year old, no one would accept it. For me its the same old scene - the team is learning to make do, and I don't know how I would feel being a Salah, or a Virgil watching this stuff unfold and knowing we are short in many areas. Im also starting to get annoyed with Jurgen because he must be a part of this "planning" by now as theres no one else about. Does he not realise he will have another exodus next summer? I just think sometimes he loves to play the underdog. I stick by my assertion that it will take two bad results for everything to turn sour if we have finished in the market. Two results.

You cant expect to win the top pots if your games are constantly on a knifes edge, which our games are.

Thats it dude. Football is a simple game. I think Jurgen has made it more complex than he needed, we shouldnt be all at sea against some of the shittest teams around. We shipped 4 against Furth, one against Darmstadt (who hadnt scored in several games up to that point) and two against Bournemouth in four minutes, ok it was chalked off but we were still all over the place. If he wants to continue this crazy formation then he needs to go out and buy the players he needs to make it work, otherwise change the formation back.

Well he's either midfield or he's in defence he cant play in two places that's what causing us to lose our shape. With a solid right back we might be able to can these stupid long ball over the top goals.

Buy a decent right back, if we are not getting a specialist 6. Sorted.

As you know, i dont bring the quality, just low rent rants pal.

Top. top post that especially the bolded bit..

I come into this thread for quality transfer chat and i get Mason Greenwood. Thats how poor our window has been so far.

I’ve learnt that Pearce is the official mouthpiece of the Club when need be. He is usually correct when he slides these articles out, because the Club wants to start tempering expectations. All I know is we have a week left of the market thereabouts and we still need two or three in personally and we don’t seem capable of multitasking. I would have thought we would have brought in two last week after the first game of the season and the failure on Caciedo and Lavia. We can’t leave it because the squad is paper thin we are already struggling if Macs ban stands. We can’t have the season constantly on a knifes edge regarding injury/availability. It never, ever works out for us, and beating Bournemouth is no yardstick.

Moving the goalposts again. Wasn’t Endo meant to have been a utility back up to a DM? This Club baffles me.

I enjoyed his little cameo. Word up!

lavia didnt even make the bench.

Spared.

Anyone else think we are done? Feels like it.

Done well there in the end after the disgraceful red card decision. Get your chequebook out this week, we need more bodies.

Does anyone fucking tackle anymore get into that big lug!

The worst thing is its all so unnecessary isn't it? Better planning in the market and playing to the strengths of the players and we wouldn't be so vulnerable. All self inflicted.

What a fucking mess. Attackers in midfield, shape all over the gaff.

Who could have forseen this?

Almost. An 11th hour gamble that didn’t pay off and probably cost us one of Jurgen other targets. Why didn’t we go in for him earlier? Oh that’s right, we were counting pennies again like a bargain basement club. Could have gone all in on him earlier in the summer and then flogged Hendo and Fabinho without any panic.

It’s got nothing to do with a narrative just what we witness with our own eyes. These owners have taken their eye of the ball for a long while now and are not competitive centric. They had this summer to prove otherwise but failed in the planning. The buck stops with them.

You’ve been fucking wrong all summer. You sit there and try to act like some kind of football sage. This summers business has been nothing short of a car crash. A total lack of care and planning as predicted by most in here. But no doubt you’ll find away to try and be a smart arse whilst actually adding zero to the conversation.

No they need to stick to baseball and hire people who know what they are doing.

Fucking Jones. No wonder we piss and moan on here.

Fucking Jones out again? This is WHY we fucking moan on here about our spend and owners. The lad is made of paper. How many mids are available tomorrow now? Three? Utter joke.
