Summer sigings - bomb squad ?

I can easily see bakwa and kalimuendo back in France next year.
Bakwa needs to switch to the left but he has ability, strength and pace. Give him a decent manager and he will be fine.

Kalimuendo has a good record too so just needs time.

I honestly don’t think we can judge any of the players by the games they played under Ange. We will know more by January.
 
Hold up play was decent as you say Orbs but he looks like he’s running through treacle to me and he’s got the touch of a rapist.

As a target man your first touch has got to stick, his often time ran 2 yards away from him. To be fair though he’s not played but I doubt we’ll see him get back to his best, that first injury (not the abdominal thing) fucked him.
Yeah he's had enough chances and apart from a couple of decent goals at Exeter he's looked a shadow of the player he was , looks low on confidence and self belief . Shame as he was a real handful and unplayable at times .
 
I’ve seen under 10’s hit the ball harder.

No doubt he was rusty Wolf but a professional striker has got to be hitting the target and forcing the keeper to save it.

I reckon he’s been to the Gibbs White School of Shooting

I remember hitting one with my left foot like that age 14 ish (42 years ago) and it still haunts me to this day
 
When you consider all these players we've got many not making the matchday squad & it's not just us it's the same at most PL clubs, why on earth don't they bring back something like reserve team matches.

It would give them games to retain some sort of match sharpness, could also be a vehicle as it used to be to reintroduce players after injury.

It worked for decades no reason why it wouldn't now in fact given the standard of players not getting regular 1st team football they should be able to produce some competitive games
 
They need to be given a long run in the team then probably at the expense of Cho and MGW neither of whom have been very good this season

I’d like to see this team

Gunn


Dominguez Milo Murillo Williams

Luiz. Anderson

Bakwa. Mcatee Ndoye

Jesus

Don’t think much of Savona or Zinc

Or

Gunn


Milo jair. Murillo


Bakwa Luiz Anderson Williams

Mcatee. Ndoye

Jesus

Until MGW and Sels get back into form and Aina is back
You want to start Angus Gunn.

A goalkeeper who was ropey in the Championship.

Over last season’s golden glove winner and, indeed, the Brazilian international on our bench.

Wow.

Wow.
There's also Dominguez who has, i believe, played a half against West Ham at Right Back and was shite, and Bakwa who has never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever...ever, played wing back - and in Tom's team - right wing back?!

Do some folk want the Red relegated, cos this is Football Manger type tactics and strategy!

Sels has been responsible for 3/4 goals this year in the prem and victor was useless against Swansea . No clean sheets this season . Again, we have had one good half of a prem season in 30 years. Sels hasn’t had a stellar career as such. He is off form . You can’t keep playing the same players forever and expect an uptick . Form has dropped off since Mid Feb

BlackGold you are incorrect


Zinc is pretty awful at left back. Savona is not ready

Mid April was when the form dipped. Let’s not exaggerate facts
