I think that the last 5-6 years have changed that much that the equation you used which use to be nailed on has gone completely out of the window, more than ever before we are seeing on a regular basis that 16-17 teams are capable of beating each other on any given day. We are in that 16-17 team’s and should not be surprised when get beat by the likes of Wolves or Villa on another day it could so easily be the opposite. I don’t like losing to anyone but have resigned myself to the future that we are not going to get into the top 3-4 anytime soon, so I have to accept that there are 15-16 teams around us that are more than capable of beating us and 3-4 that are nearly guaranteed to beat us. Shit maybe but reality all the same, remember the old term being used best of the rest it was used on us for quite a while, we don’t here that being used anymore because we are all the best of the rest if you get my drift.

I haven’t met anyone who voted remain telling me the wished they had voted leave, but on my life I have met individual’s and couples who voted leave and have regretted it. In the next 10 years I believe we will be voting to go back into the Union a much poorer country than when we left.

Maybe our best CB but only being fit for less than 50% of the games is more a negative than a positive, we need players who can stay fit and play at least 85% plus games a season if we are going to see much needed consistency in the team. I would gladly sell if we could get the right money and invest in a player who isn’t constantly injured.

Gordon stepped in and has been good not very good, honestly where do you think he would rank in the leagues top MFs. Where do you rank Holgate v Mina Gbamin or Davies v Doucoure Rondon v DCL do I need to go on. No manager has been able to get any consistency out of these players, is it because the managers we’ve had don’t know what they are doing or the players aren’t good enough to do what’s been asked of them

And in a nutshell that pretty much sums it up, we haven’t got the players in our squad that can come in and adequately cover any injuries.

Nope you’re not

Well he’s playing in his favourite position so no excuses, I expect a goal or an assist.

And the rest

We are about to witness Godfrey although not up to full speed since he contracted Covid do a stellar job at LB.

Wolves 2-2 Everton Iwobi

He won’t be coming Christmas is cancelled this year.

Ancelotti’s best signing a great professional and person, and he knows who we are playing next.

I’ve entered the missus for the extreme Ironing, hopefully she will get some training in soon I need shirts for next week

That’s one of many things that Tory MPs should have resigned for in the time of this government.

Be careful Matt I bite

Possibly not but to try something different is surely better than doing nothing. I’d rather try than accept what we are getting from Digne.

You are correct mate, I’m like a vampire I do my best and worse work after midnight. Happy Halloween

In those games you mentioned the starting 11 consisted of DCL who scored 6 and has been missing for a big chunk of the last 9, and Richarlison who’s missed a few, so you wouldn’t say we’ve missed their goals and work rate. You are trying to fabricate a like for like from last season that just doesn’t exist. I think with DCL and not Rondon up front and Richarlison on instead of Iwobi we would be in a better position than we are now, obviously I can’t prove that it’s only conjecture on my part.

I think you need to watch him a lot more than you are doing he’s bordering on embarrassing, King took the piss out of him, I expect King said I’ll put myself on and around Digne trust me he’s there weakest defender, I use to regularly run rings round him in training Trust me we will be looking for another LB now we can’t carry on with one that can’t defend and is producing next to nothing going forward. So whilst we are playing the style of football we are and hopefully only until Benitez can start to get the players in he needs, I would be starting with Godfrey as LB you have far less chance of people getting past him.

We need defenders to defend and he can’t defend, I can’t remember his last game when he had a positive effect on the game with his forward play? We break at speed with players with pace, preferably with when all fit DCL Richarlison Doucoure Gray and Townsend, between them they offer all the pace width and ability to break teams down we need, what we need then is for the holding MF and 4 defenders to do there jobs and defend, that’s why I believe Godfrey would be much better at that than Digne who is our poorest defender until we can get another LB in.

The team is poor it hasn’t improved in the last 6 years for all the money spent, and what small improvements that may have been made have been bettered by others, yet we sit here and hold judgement against a manager who has been given the poorest squad to work with that I can remember and no money, any criticism needs to be directed at the owners and directors who have presided over this shit fest and not a manager who’s had 9 games in charge. Honestly most of you should be baking cakes in the WI you bunch of fannies

We have got in more and better forward positions this season per game I feel without looking at the stats, previous seasons we may have had slightly more possession but in our own half with sideways passing, for me Digne has been poor in all departments for over 2 seasons with the odd decent game now and then, nothing that can be blamed on Rondon he’s just played a handful of games, Digne has been pants for a very long time. I agree Godfrey isn’t the final answer but with no one else to put him and us out of our misery I believe Godfrey would be no worse and slightly better, after all he played there quite a few games last season and did a far better job of it than Digne imo.
