The thread title should be changed to “How BIG of a problem is left back?”

KDB player-Manager until the end of the season. If Peter Reid can do it, I’m sure Super Kev can......

I agree with most but I liked Nolito and Zinchenko was never bought to actually get play for the first team. But let’s not split hairs The long and sort of we simply haven’t bought better players than the ones that got old. Let’s be honest, non of our legends have put in transfer requests in...

Walker was the last top player we bought, along with Ederson. Not perfect but always available for selection and 7/10 performances Oops. I forgot about Laporte but I was thinking more of summer signings

We had around 80% possession today and he faved 3 penalties which were perfectly taken He may have his faults, but they had nothing to do with the today

We are transitioning into Arsenal. Look great at times but don’t like it up us..... Too slow, too weak and generally don’t like it on anything other than on Easy Street Needs sorting

In the words of Mourinho when Mutu’s agent rang him ‘where did he get injured, at home or on the bench?’ I love that quote and it pretty much sums Stones up

That goes back to last summer and the, why buy him in the first place argument? I’m no scout but the issues where there last ore season in Japan. Me first words were ‘he’s fucking slow’ What do we do, protect him, stick him at centre back or try and off load him(unlikely) - the whole balance...

We’ll need to win at least 30 matches this season to win the league. So 29 out of 36 - let’s get cracking

I agree with the vast majority of that but any solution which involves Fern in midfield is no solution at all. How/why we have not bought at least 1 more midfield player is bizarre Let’s accept Rodders is good, he clearly isn’t suited to how we play so why persist? It’s like sticking Niall...

He simply isn’t suited to our team. He always gets caught up the pitch, maybe he should just sit back but he can’t because he can’t pass forward We’ve done our dough and are lumbered. Fern played his position well as did Gundogen(to a lesser degrees) when we won the domestic treble but...

I thought that was trained out of him but clearly not. He scored after 5 minutes, it should have been his game but no. We didn’t see him until the second half when he should have passed to Foden but didn’t Simply not consistent enough. Mane, Salah, Firmino. Always available for selection and...

Hung out to dry? If our record signing needs looking after by someone who shouldn’t be near the team then we’ve a big problem. He should be told not to go within 15 yards of the ball just to give him a head start when it’s time to run back I’d fancy my chances against him an I’ve had 6 cans...

I wouldn’t mind so much if 1 player gave away 3 penalties but for 3 different players to be suckered in to the same foul is pathetic Have our scouts not watched Leicester over the past 5 years? Vardy has made a career of getting in front of people and winning pens. School boy errors from out...

We should start a poll, which name is best: Plodri Or Plodders I like both...

Assuming everyone is fit(I accept that is a wild assumption) I can see him playing left-back against every top team, particularly away from home We simply cannot persist with Mendy high and wide giving it away and not getting back, particularly when we are asking Rodders to make up the room

I never think he’s going to save one but that is based on nothing other than my *feeling* that he’s too relaxed to save one. That said, no one was saving any of those pens today He’s not been great for 18 months but there are 7 others that could/should be replaced before him. But he needs to...

In terms of speed of thought and closing down over 10 yards, yes. He’s never going to beat Kyle Walker in a race(unless Walker gets lost) but it’s about position and reading the game

I’m with you on that. I didn’t watch Monaco but when he came here he looked a bit of a threat going forward but clearly had work to do He go injured after only a handful of games due to his own brain dead tackle when we were 3 up so for my money he’s always had question marks But now, he’s...

He shouldn’t be anywhere near the team. He’s only there because our record signing needs his hand holding Another player who we should have been looking to replace 4 years* ago but didn’t bother and get caught with our pants down *look to not actually replace. I.e ducks in a row
