10 | Rayan Cherki - 2025/26

The concerning part was there was no reaction to the fuck up, we've always given goals away in that manner under Pep, it usually ends up with us penning the opposition in their box for the rest of the game and if we don't get a result it's usually because we have been desperately unlucky.

Over the past 12 months this hasn't happened. Yesterday Spurs were comfortable as fuck, Frank even made subs to rest players. This is a team that finished 17th last season and has had a disastrous transfer window. Alarm bells are ringing massively.

I agree - we have usually responded positively to the fuck-ups.

Yesterday we were worse once we had conceded and never looked like we would get back into the game.

But we now need a response from Pep and the players - I am expecting to get one, but I think last season has caused doubts amongst our supporters which I can understand.

We need some cannon fodder to play to bed the new boys in and rebuild our confidence, unfortunately our next 3 games are absolutely brutal. I can only imagine what it's going to be like if we got one or no points from Brighton and Arsenal then went and lost to the scum.

We are not the rags so cannot expect to get such games.
 
Don't think he had a great game, and he needs to work on his press game, otherwise having both Haaland and Cherki upfront won't be enough for our pressing. But I still think hooking him for Bernado completely killed the hope for that game.
 
There’s a lot there, with due respect, I’m not reading it all

Cherki looked off the pace. Fat and slow is obviously, I thought, stretching the point to highlight he shouldn’t be a first teamer at this stage - clearly no athlete at this level is ‘fat’, less Kalvin Phillips maybe

As for Trafford, he’s shit. End of story as far as I’m concerned. You disagree, but let’s see where we are in 12 months. I expect he’ll be sold to a team in 10th or lower. But we’ll see
I read somewhere you were pissed when on here yesterday which is probably why you posted a few daft comments but saying Trafford is shit is uncalled for I think, especially now you've sobered up and calmed down.

You've been posting longer than me so I presume you've been watching us through the bad times before any sign of a takeover and all the of undreampt of success that's happened since. Was you one of the "Edghill you're shit" Maine Road hecklers by any chance?

I'm not going to fall out with put you on ignore but I think it's best I don't quote your he's fat, can't run, he's shit type comments anymore. Same goes for all the OTT posters on the match threads. I prefer concentrating on the game than going on there. Better still is going to a game and not logging on here to read heat of the moment negative comments.

Trafford is shit. Hence why we will buy a proper keeper in the next 10 days
 
He was shite first half, think it was a bit of a culture shock for him wasn't used to having so little time on the ball and was causing problems for the team because he was getting too eager for the ball and dropping too deep to get it. Coming into areas where Spurs swarmed him to turn over possession.

Promising signs was once when he lost the ball I thought he was going to stay down feigning injury but he ran back really well and regained possession. I also thought he started the second half better and was starting to get on the ball and make things happen when for some reason he got replaced by Bernardo who looked like he had the strength pace and energy of a late stage AIDS patient and we completely lost all sort of attacking threat and limped to the final whistle.
Fully agree re the 2nd half. Looked to be finding his feet and would've scored had Haaland played a decent 5 yard pass.

He also played a couple of dangerous passes in the pockets. You've also summed up Bernardo's cameo as well as anyone could possibly articulate.
 
IMO he’s not viable in midfield at the moment.

He was the main reason we lost the midfield battle and the game was out of our control.

Insane when you think how long Foden had to prove himself before even getting a chance in midfield that Pep just chucks him in straight away but I don’t think it will happen many times more.

Wing option for now until he learns to work harder.
 
Not good yesterday, a bit slow on the ball and got caught a few times. Sort of player who will look amazing at times but may well lack consistency.
 
It wasn’t his best game yesterday but he’ll need a bit of time to adapt to the pace of the league.

He was still our most dangerous player though and we looked a better side with him on the pitch than off it.
 
Reminds me of Nasri. Exciting and loads of flair but not the player you need when shit hits the fan, like yesterday.
