He’s a nightmare for it. I’d be getting rid of both him and Keane for someone who can string together consistent games with consistent form. I miss Jags at his peak so much.

I think Branthwaite showed his level against Huddersfield to be honest. Micheal Keane just needs to stand up as our senior CB here

Think Iwobi had a niggle. We are so thin on the bench. Keane and Holgate both need to improve dramatically here

No Mina…

Yeah right. I more meant when he was under contract we could have, even if it was a youth/academy one? Once his contract was expired I understand we have nothing but agreed fee or tribunal.

I think we could have negotiated something like that pre tribunal but now I believe it will be a flat fee.

Where did you hear that? He traveled with the squad for Huddersfield but was deemed not fit enough?

We have given him absolutely nothing to work with as well. Credit to him.

Must be the same glasses people wear when watching Keane

Bissouma is quality, big fan of his. Maupay isn’t an exciting name but he does a job and can finish - would be a good option.

Watford didn’t really threaten them a whole lot. They play a 3 at the back with very, very slow centre back so I would hope richarlison, Dom and Gray could find a lot of room to run into.

Still don’t think we should be selling him. If he does go I have we are looking at a pacey, on the shoulder of the last man type striker.

I mean if he had to play winger I think he will be okay. Right now he is probably best suited in a 3 at the back ( which would affect Gray playing out wide ). Hopefully he can iron out his defensive game and keep improving

Only if we float them into the box. Gray and Richarlison have been whipping some dangerous low crosses that the big boys at the back for Brighton might struggle with.

Perhaps. Another day it goes 2-0 and potentially wrapped up before half time but for a marginal offside decision so it’s hard to say mate.

Bar man city, chelsea and those who have stupidly good depth.

He hasn’t had a real run of senior football over here. I think the positives far out weigh the negatives. His crossing is excellent though. If we had himself and Gray on either side I would like to think even I would knock one in…

This is how I felt when hitzlsperger signed but I don’t think we ever got one?

Fair play to Zouma though at his age, this is potentially his big money contract.

I think right now there’s a young player who needs a bit of support from the fan base, not the opposite. There’s clearly talent there so let’s get behind him where we can. I cannot for one second begrudge him wanting to go back to PSG. I mean come on. So if he stays, let’s just get behind him and dance with him when he scores

Purely for fitness. But I would have never thought it myself. Credit where credit is due though, he is looking like a useable option, finally!

Pickford Coleman Mina Godfrey Digne Allan James Doucoure Gray DCL Richarlison I’d have Iwobi in for James if he wasn’t carrying a niggle and hopefully get james on for the last 30 or so as I doubt he is match fit. Goals in that team above though and we have good options in the squad to see out a game. We will need be better in possession here - both games we’ve been under 70% passing accuracy.

We just played and won a cup game with nkounkou, holgate, braithwaite kenny & Davies starting. Dom has also prospered through our academy after being bought for peanuts. I think we are doing okay in that regard.

I’d love Zouma back. Godfrey, Zouma & Mina is excellent coverage for CB with Holgate to hopefully shape up to his potential as 4th option and sell Keane.

I don’t hate his reaction - in that moment we were getting walked over by them, It wasn’t right but the fact that he stood up and showed a bit of passion. As Mike said, class finish. I wouldn’t give up on him yet.
