  • Rumours putting us in for loan/buy deal for Isco, would be amazing if true. Right kind of player to put pressure on Eriksen and to unlock defenses when they sit deep against us, plus he's young enough to grow with the rest of the squad if we keep it together..
    Chadli going is disappointing, he'll pop up with a goal or ten during the season, with us trying to get nkoudou (think this gets done before the deadline) and looking at zaha think Chadli's lack of pace was held against him, think we're looking for a flyer to chase balls over the top or make that break from deep with pace, which currently only Dele can do, as Lamela, and Eriksen aren't blessed in the speed department..

    Liverpool match started brightly then got pushed back... Better start to the season than last year, but man city, Chelsea and man united look much better than I'd thought they would after the managerial turnover...

  • which currently only Dele can do

    and yet, we continue to play him bang in the middle of midfield. I don't understand this approach. His pace counts for nothing in the middle of the park and he's too much of a liability out of possession. See also - Hodgson in the Euros.

    Also - Lamela is fairly quick. It's pretty much his only redeeming feature.
