It's Bielsa day, fucking hell am I excited. It's gonna be amazing this. THIS COULD FINALLY BE THE YEAR, WE'RE ACTUALLY SHOWING AMBITION AND I CAN'T STOP TYPING IN CAPS.
You're literally using a table image showing previous to this weekend the bottom 5 have 2 wins between them the 4 previous gameweeks...
This is a crybaby mentality post. You dropped points on the weekend because you missed an open net.
The bottom 5 in the Premier League conceded just 2 goals between them this weekend, none of them lost.
They played against:
Arsenal
Liverpool
Spurs
Newcastle
Fulham
100s of millions of ยฃยฃ worth of attacking talent, struggling to score against the โworstโ in the league
The level of defensive structures and ability to nullify attacks throughout the premier league is as high as itโs ever been
It is making the league harder to watch
But what do you do?
@EastStandUpper Yep, absolutely bang on.
Even if any of them could contribute next season they don't deserve that opportunity again. It'd also be disrespectful to those that have done the hard work this season IF we do go up to then have to compete with the loanees...
@EastStandUpper With Copa America taking place this summer we need to go up automatic to have something that could work with Bielsa's schedule I'd guess.
It would be amazing though, Bielsa there or not!
@NFFC_14@Brownie89@WainmanJoe Spence didn't play over Gray because he's less composed on the ball, offered less going forward and had to be screamed at to track back.
I think defensively he's better than Gray at RB but people are making out Gray loses every duel. Overall we get more from Gray playing.
@thedonjazlfc @KingBamford @nolo0k9 @PremLeaguePanel Best defence both seasons in the championship, joint 4th most cleans sheets first season in the premier league.
But but but we did get suffer some heavy defeats to the "top 6" teams so that's all he should be remembered for.
@EastStandUpper@ephemeraljoy If we lose half of those I go from having us automatic contenders to "play-offs, maybe?" unless the recruitment is bang on.
There's 50+ goals in all those attacking players I'd say, surely we can get another 20 odd from Rutter and the others?
@EastStandUpper@ephemeraljoy My thoughts will sway massively depending on outgoings and I mean massively!
I am so excited to see Gray in this side, he's like a traditional top level Spanish midfielder (NOT ROCA) the way he plays. It's ridiculous.
Maybe I'm misjudging things but just how I see it atm.
@EastStandUpper@ephemeraljoy Respect both your opinions but I'm way off your lines of thought. I'm really happy with who we've managed to keep(so far). For every player we lose we are very unlikely to bring in a better player while in this div. Squad depth definitely needs adding to yep but we look strong.
