Golac's Cunning Stunts

He isn't good enough for the prem, so not sure why its such good news

I agree we have a weak squad compared to most PL teams. We have invested though and do have some good players now. Given we are up against it, why then play such suicidal tactics and gift teams goals every game? At least let’s try and be hard to beat. Oh and playing a striker might help at the other end too 😀

This post should be made a sticky and left for everyone to read until Martin is gone

What an absolute car crash of a post

Do you actually go to games or just go on FM stats? The difference between Sadio and Sulemana in their first 20 odd games is chalk and cheese

He didn’t play for any ground breaking teams. He was a Joe average player. So can only think that’s why he feels he has to have this genius philosophy as a manager?

But is the cat being skinned scoring a record low number of goals 😉

Problem with this argument as far as I can see is that the examples given have world class technical players. Not sure our lot are good enough to be honest

No he isn't. It is so blatantly obvious we need a striker. I just can't see where the goals are going to come from this year

and then the £20 odd million in annual wages!

There's always another wad to blow in my experience

We need a quality striker..will we get one?

Me too. COuldn't agree more Turkish

oh dear, just like lallana. MLG has definitely returned

There is absolutely no precedent for us spending that kind of money on one player even if we had a good keeper / striker

It is unfair to make us play against 10 men. Gives the other team an advantage. Just ask Nate

to be fair, without knowing anything about him, he is very likely an upgrade on current incumbents

I'm with you. However, as it appears we will be proceeding with full-fat Russball, that will involve a lot of dicking about with the ball at the back and therefore the GK will need to be good with his feet. If he isn't, we have already seen what happens in the very 1st match of the season with McCarthy's blooper.

But from what I hear, Ramsdale is dodgy with ball at his feet? Not sure if it's true as I haven't really watched him much

They are looking like a good contender to be the next Brighton. Some excellent players coming through there

Martin sets up the team to pass around at the back. We got away with it in the champs. We will be punished for it in the prem, no doubt about it. We don't have good enough players to do it

problem is, it isn't hard to suss us out as Martin has already told every opposition team how we will play. No surprises for any oppo manager

If I remember right, he was a bitter little fucker who hung around on the forum arguing with anybody who had anything bad to say about the banana once he went to the scouse

Yeah they really weren't that good at all apart from when Mowbray schooled Martin in the 5-0

So effectively, please pay us 25% more than he is worth...
