Re: Seasons prospects
I'd like to hope not, if he can't drop a captain he didn't pick in the first place he shouldn't be in the job. For all Rafa's faults at least he was happy to do so.

Re: Seasons prospects
I've gotta say one thing. I love everyone's positive vibes on here If we had Ashley still, everyone would be down in the dumps big time.

Re: Seasons prospects
Another thing. The fact we've only lost half our games must be somewhat a positive. Draws interspersed by losses. Instead of say winning our 1st two matches and then nosediving to only getting a point out of our next 12?
Re: Seasons prospects
I remember Rafa picking him more often that I liked
This is a game we should control though, and Schar is much better going forward and as a passer.
I'm expecting Fernandez on the field (again), because everyone could see that after 5 minutes with him on the field we were a unit at defence.
Amazing transformation and many of us kinda knew this. I want to see Almiron instead of Fraser as well, Joelinton as a DM again and get Willock a more free role in front of CM/DM's.

Re: Seasons prospects
Some decent results for us so far, Leeds and Southampton being kept in the mix and Watford lost last night. A win tomorrow and things are looking so much more positive.

Aye, good for us so far. Just know Norwich will pull a rabbit out the hat. Billy Gilmour top corner screamer to take all three points haha

Re: Seasons prospects
Just a shame we couldn't take advantage, that game was probably our last chance of picking up points this year.

Re: Seasons prospects
Excellent night so far, Leeds getting smashed and Norwich losing. Literally the only thing we can hope for over our next three games is for those around us to lose too.

Re: Seasons prospects
Leeds 5 down with 30 minutes to go, Burnley v Watford tomorrow so fingers crossed for a draw or at a pinch a Burnley win.Bodacious Benny wrote: ↑Tue Dec 14, 2021 8:39 pmExcellent night so far, Leeds getting smashed and Norwich losing.

Re: Seasons prospects
I’d laugh at Leeds but this will be us in a few days!

Re: Seasons prospects
Maybe we should have gone for Gerrard, Villa only 6 points from a Champions League place.

Re: Seasons prospects
Just heard that Lascelles has conceded 3 penalties this season, no other player in the PL has conceded more than 1. There's no way we can play him against Liverpool (with Salah going down at every opportunity).
