I said at the time when he was strongly rumoured to be a target for Barcelona that he was and is a good player, but definitely the wrong profile and fit for the club. I’ve obviously seen nothing so far to convince me otherwise. He is an SS and a fairly uncreative one at that and is very much a...

If a serious offer is made to Poch, he isn’t going to say no. Managing one of the largest and most successful clubs in the world, who also happen to have the GOAT - a fellow Argentine, a team that competes on all stages. It’s too good an opportunity for him to turn down, regardless of allegiances.

I want Poch.

I don’t believe Koeman would say no. In any case, I don’t want him.

I don’t think he’s the right person for the job. Would love him as someone’s number 2 though. Still, I’ll take anything to get rid of Valverde. Not entirely sure I buy the rumours though. Sure Valverde is shit, but he’s always been shit. So why the sudden change in heart from the board?

He’s so uninspiring and I’ve now lost the desire to watch our matches. He panders to the senior players at every opportunity and has no back bone. He plays shit on a stick football and makes the same mistakes repeatedly. Don’t even get me started on his complete inability (and disinterest?) in...

He epitomises everything that’s wrong with EV’s football; slow, cautious, unimaginative, uninspired, tepid. It winds me up no end how he strolls around the pitch too. He isn’t near halfway good enough to play in “cruise-control”. You watch midfields like those at Liverpool, City - even Madrid...

Is Emerson even performing as well as Firpo was at Betis before his move? I’m not so sure. If we sell Semedo, we will almost certainly NOT be replacing him with anyone better.

Todibo rewarded with a good performance midweek (best defender on the park) with a spot in the stand.

Gallardo. Poch. Jardim. Ten Haag. Nagelsmann. Christ; anyone.

He’s a talented player who requires COACHING. Something which he isn’t getting at Barca. Likewise pretty much every other youngster at the club (Alena, Puig, Todibo). Valverde is doing absolutely nothing for De Jong or Arthur too.

I’m pretty sure most were against it. From the very off I was too. Good player, but not a fit for our system. Which is what I’ve said since we were linked with him.

He probably played the 3 best passes in the game the other night.

I said before he signed that he’s a good player, but that there isn’t a natural place for him in our system. Nothing I’ve seen has changed my opinion on those matters. He is a good player, but has no place in our system. I believed and still believe Messi should be playing as a false 9, with...

Because it was quite clear Gomes didn’t and doesn’t have a particularly high ceiling. That’s been shown at Everton too. He’s too slow, cumbersome, and lacks the all round traits for a top level midfielder. He also got a fair bit of continuity at Barca but never really showed anything. Semedo...

I think some are being overly harsh. I watched his compilation from yesterday’s match and he looked pretty decent. Showed some good pace, touches and his set pieces were solid. Some of his dribbles were successful, some weren’t. He’s a winger. He’s going to lose the ball sometimes. He creates...

Earth-shattering insight there.

He’s such an intelligent and talented player. He is very Xavi-esque. We just need that final piece alongside him and De Jong. I’m still unsure whether that player should be more attack or defensive minded.

Worked hard. My fear as it always has been that there is no natural fit for him in the side.

Penalty aside, solid performance. Done quite well against a very good player in Sancho.
