Yes, Lewis was one of our best players in the early part of the season , playing out of position due to our bizzare obsession with not signing full backs

He’s also a kid that will have their ups and downs due to form , but he will come back as he’s got loads of talent

Not in that position, I think. I really like the lad, and last season showed unquestionably that he had talent. But right or left back? Sorry, but I just don't think he's got any kind of future there.

The post that included him in the list of talented, young squad players didn't mention a position.

Agree , he’s not a right back - especially not a traditional one that doesn’t invert

Remember though , this kid provided the impetus for our treble winning season by playing that position and shaming the older players in showing them how it could be done

There's no doubt that big mistakes have been made in terms of recruitment and squad planning, but I was just making the point that a new manager doesn't suddenly make those issues go away. Pep is the man to rebuild the team.

Absolutely. If there is anyone that can return us to our previous levels, it is Pep.

I think it would do us good to go out…

Well, I hesitated to post it — I'll be virulently accused of not getting behind the team, being a traitor, etc. — but I'll admit I've been thinking it since last night.
“Do us good”? Well, I wouldn't exactly put it like that. But I am utterly convinced that we have a maybe 5% chance of winning the thing this year, even if we do somehow go through. My feeling is that we concentrate on getting top four — and that is far from being easy, it sort of depends on Chelsea and/or Forest dropping off, and why after all bet on that? — and having a good run in the Cup.
We absolutely don't have the players, the legs, to be in three demanding competitions and go deep. That is now crystal clear to me.
Next week I'll be cheering on the lads, because that's what you do on the night. You don't choose it.

I'm off to get a cup of tea, open the transfer section of the forum, hopefully we're linked with some midfielders. Failing that, some more centre halves.

 

[Gundoggin]

Our midfield is made up of old and slow and midgets and our defenders can’t defend. How did it get to this ?????

We got absolutely mugged last night in the middle of the pitch.When we did get the ball the passing was shit and gave it straight back to them.Nervous as fuck

Just heard one of our former managers compare Ipswich with PSG no wonder he's on radio and not managers chair

Over the years, we have gone from a team with:
Aguero
Balotelli
Tevez
Dzeko

To a team with:
Aguero
Dzeko
Negredo
Jovetic

To:
Aguero
Jesus
Leroy
Sterling

To:
Aguero
Jesus
Sterling
Mahrez
Grealish

To:
Mahrez
Grealish
Haaland
Alvarez

To:
Grealish
Haaland
Doku
Savio

It's clear to see that there's an absolutely insane person overseeing the transfer policy at this point. The decline in the quality of players in the team now is insane, the quality that was brought in to replace the players that have left is just mind blowing and not in a good way. For some reason we neglected one part of football, arguably the most important part of football, goal scoring and focused on ball hugging footballers and now the ball huggers are giving up possession easily as we saw with the game yesterday. We need to get this Marmoush guy and some other player who's hungry to score goals from any position across the front line, Maybe Rodrygo from Madrid or Musiala. Retrace our steps and go back to playing football to score goals, enough of this nonsense about trying to reinvent the purpose of football.
