Saint IQ

Anyone else praying some European club are desperate for a centre back and bid for him before September? Fact is he's been so bad that he's another one we are probably stuck with on big wages for another 4 years

Vestergaard only available for one of those, Yoshida and him are clearly our best centre backs.

I will only lose faith if he continues to play Hoedt.. Also Stephens unless Cedric is injured.

Time to kick on and become our Harry Kane. Long should be loaned out to Reading or something Happy with Ings, Austin, Gabbiandini and Gallagher as our options.

I'd guess you'd go by the previous league placings. 1st v 2nd down to playoff winner v 2nd in championship

So La Liga are playing a 39th league game which will be played in North America for the next 15 years. https://www.laliga.es/en/news/laliga-and-relevent-partner-to-promote-soccer-in-the-us-and-canada Will the EPL follow suit? I think it’s going to happen, nicely coincides with the facts that were released this week. The premier league does not need match day fans to make profit. Personally I'd rather the top 6 p1ss off with the rest of Europe's plastic mega clubs then it'll make all the other leagues more interesting and competitive.

Only games that mattered and we've been really poor in were West Ham away and Chelsea at Wembley

It's good Jack Stephens has regularly shown he can play at RB so backup for Cedric isn't an issue. I'd go with this team on Saturday as 3 at the back worked up there last time. ----------------McCarthy--------------- ------Yoshida-Vestergaard-Bertand---- Cedric----Romeu--Lemina----Targett --------------Redmond------------- -----------Manolo---Ings------------- Gunn Hoedt Stephens Hojberg JWP Armstrong Austin Elyounoussi Can't work out who to drop from the bench of those 8. Long, Davis, Gallagher, Bednerek, Reed, Forster already not in squad

Redmonds in for a good season, just get behind the lad. Even when he fks up. Only 24 got loads of football ahead of him.

Sticking my neck out with an 8th-14th prediction

It'll prob end up being Danny Ings Danny Ings Danny Danny Ings Nanananananananana Danny Danny Ings Danny Ings Danny Danny Ings Nanananaananananana

Playing 3 CBs is fine if you are playing away or at home to a very good side and are able to counter very well. At home to teams like Burnley though it clearly isn't the way to go about winning games and scoring goals.

Austin will always be a better impact player, he's nearly useless on the break but good when teams sit right back. Ings Gabb and Elyounoussi have to start every game if fit.

La Liga hasn't even started yet.

At least Stephens and Hoedt are playing against limited pace and skill if we played liverpool with that lineup we could be conceding double figures...

To the Balotelli song, I know it's rubbish but I really want us to create a song like that one. Ooooh Danny Ings He's a striker A local lad Knees put him on his arse but he's come back fkn class scoring goals for fun when we find him with a pass oooooohh

It'll have to be McQueen then, Targett has proved himself in the Championship with a promoted team who had pretty much no chance of top 2 before he joined.

As Puels replacement.

I'll just get this in before Hughes has an awful start to the season. I really wanted us to get in Fulham's manager Slaviša Jokanović. Think he will do well with Fulham from the signings they've made, looked very good in their unbeaten run last season. Fulham's first 11 looks better than ours atm

People expecting JWP to be a Bale or even a Lallana, he won't be but he is a decent enough Premier League player.

Malcuit appearance stats on wiki look shocking for the prices being quoted considering his already 27

Maybe just maybe he has had the sh its and was granted an extra week off........

Might as well just get Vydra in for 11m he only wants 40-45k per week too

Cedric and Hoedt, ideally both replaced but a quality right back is a must.

Agree, decent player but missing important attributes for a full back especially in this league.
