Not a complaint, just a fact. Don’t moan about longstanding bad performers when our “ruthless” manager continues to back them.

Don't beat around the bush.

Which options does he have since you're such an honest a***yst?

Well, he continues to field McTominay. He’s had countless s*** games this season. Scoring a few last minute goals doesn’t negate the fact he fails his basic duties as a midfielder frequently. Controversially or not I’m not sure but we should’ve cashed in on him over Fred in the summer. Both needed to go though.

Mount - his star signing of the summer, big part of the team - benched again. Im a big fan of what we’ve seen. Clever, tidy player. Not the star summer signing we needed though. But we got him and I think he’s capable of a bloody good job.

Mainoo, Amrabat, Pellistri, all on the bench today. (Amrabat being there is a positive potentially though)

Pellistri’s fight got us the Fulham goal. Mainoo is one everyone’s eagerly waiting to see kick on.

Another plus was that he didn’t start his golden boy rapist fidget spinner.

To kick on with the growth we need open heart surgery. Not 60m on a Chelsea midfielder with nothing left on his contract to sit on the bench every week. It’s almost laughable. It’s not serious. You can say he’s not backed but when he’s throwing away 90m on Antony who is now on his 30th game of no goal and 60m on Mount it’s questionable as to what he should get.

We must also be aware of the obvious. He’s had 20 injuries this season. It’s f***ed. Spurs lost twice now with no Maddison. But it’s not a new issue with ETH that he struggles with rotation. You can go back to 2018 and see the same complaints from Ajax fans. Thats worrying.

By the time the lads come back we’ll be in one game a week probably. Let’s see what happens then. It should be fun.

We’re somewhat staying above water when it comes to the PL, but another season of top 4 but this time with no trophy and getting blasted out of the UCL again isn’t progress.

This feels more honest than your one sentence takes for some reason

I don't see much wrong with what you've said here.

Recruitment under Paul Mitchell will do wonders. Hopefully he'll be installed before the January transfer window and get enough time to install his people and philosophy/football structure.

you know there is zero chance Rat will keep ETH right? if you look at every ownership change across any sport, they always bring in their people and shake things up.

Perhaps, but it doesn’t matter because any manager will benefit greatly from a better director. Even if i wanted ETH to stay, there is no other solution but to get a better DOF than the current one

Bored on a train lol. Had a bit more time to properly try to articulate a bit more

It’ll work nicely with the Glazers as well.

Isn’t he known for signing cheap?

Yeah that’s the biggest concern with the Ratcliffe “takeover”

Vlahovic doesn’t even start for Juve anymore? Makes sense they were so desperate to sell him this summer.

Nice are 2nd in ligue 1 after a couple mid seasons tho @KingOfPop

Which are owned by Ratcliffe

Ten Hag’s tricky reds man, I tell ya what

are UK trains any good?

It's a mixed bag, I've been to Manchester a few times but never caught a train cause I have lots of family there so never needed to

In London there are different types of trains on different lines, the newer trains are pretty good, after a day on the underground you'll have a bunch of black stuff in your nose from the pollution, on warmer days it gets super hot and humid, the trains themselves are pretty short inside (am tall and had to crouch), the trains to Luton and Stansted are good but to Heathrow is just a regular older train

Is Hag really trying to fall out with everyone in the squad

Mount his next target?

Brentford, Sheffield, Fulham and Luton town

Ice cold -3GD and 6th place Speculating on that 5th CL slot

2nd in ligue 1 isn’t impressive

Cmon, they are a small club and came from way behind... let's give some credit where it's due lmao

Unrivaled

title charge

Mind you i don't like the Ratcliffe takeover... Qatar would've brought an earthquake of success probably...

it is what it is

-3 gd but above newcastle is actally comical though
