Whilst the culture at the club is make as many mistakes and poor performances as you like, you get to stay and start for the team because you are on a high salary, we will always be shit. The players ambling back in the 90th minute when they broke for a counter and no one was in the picture...

Probably the second worst player in the starting 13-14 players behind Alex Sandro. Yet much like Alex Sandro, because he is on an undeserving high salary we are fucked and have to keep him.

And then he proceeded to field him in the home game against Sevilla where he could accelerate on the field no longer.

I recall the moment in that all or nothing documentary where he sat in the canteen eating and said to someone along the lines of ‘you don’t have to talk all the time.’ The same advice to himself would’ve served him well here. His ego won’t allow him to see that regardless of what he says, he...

Well they only have to play one game a week and by the time we reach Christmas, we will be gifted with the return of De Goatlio for that spot.

Alex Sandro, the eternal gift that never stops giving.

Confidence can play such a huge part in those things in my opinion so it was made to look even worse last year. One of the best centre forwards in the world in Lewandowski looked awful at the end of last season and this season so far, his confidence seems to have dropped, his first touch has...

Agreed. I also think he feels relieved because straight line merchant Kostic playing there wouldn’t be able to work with Chiesa playing where he is so far. As with the Atalanta friendly, he took up a number of intelligent central positions in the build up, that gave Chiesa space out wide and...

Where did these imposters come from?

A deal that is worse for us than initially reported. Nothing to see here, just the usual protocol.

I’m pretty sure his brain is the same now as it was then, so I doubt that peak was any good either way.

Higuain was also fairly inconsistent and about a 1 in 4/5 chances forward earlier in his career. Dusan does have the instep finish, his preferred powerful side foot finish and the chip. Right foot is average and heading is average. What’s gone wrong is the injury, confidence and what’s happening...

For shits and giggles.

Chiesa practically played left mid in possession so it was never a front two that allowed much combination play between them. Cambiaso often tucked in as the LCM in the build up and then got forward whilst Rabbit was the one who pushed up closest to Vlahovic. If we continue to play the way we...

A coherent half of football surprisingly.

The genius market move this summer was leaking the Vlahovic for Lukaku swap fairly early on alongside Chiesa sale rumours. From that point on, any potential move could not be viewed any worse.

Probably the only bright spark I was excited to watch this season is being offloaded for the gross salary of Alex Sandro. What a truly wonderful club we follow.

We can barely retain the ball for longer than a minute and we sit back and defend for 80 minutes per game so he wouldn’t suit Jihadball anyway. We need more big bodies in the middle who can run after shadows.

Agreed, although his flaws are evident - occasional dally on the ball, slight stature, can get beat easily, he has one thing that all of our midfielders bar the mythical Pogba have. He consistently shows for the ball wherever he is on the pitch and wants it. I get it’s pre-season, but it still...

Not even close. Pogba wanted to go and we sold to avoid keeping an unhappy player and a distraction in the dressing room. Higuain had an amazing season and his purchase killed our nearest rivals psychologically. We are now forcing a player out who on the surface is happy to stay and wants to...
