Too many are injured or can’t get in the starting XI. Expand Injuries are a problem, but the fact they can't get into the team is GvB's fault, IMO; I think they're good enough to play more. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically that's a horrendous list of failures imho . Expand It's not horrendous. Good: Hagi, Bassey, McLaughlin, Defoe, Balogun, Itten, Sakala, Wright, Lundstram, Sands, Tillman, Matondo, Colak, Yilmaz, Lawrence. Bad: Kamberi, Simpson, Diallo, Zungu, Ramsey, Zukowski (homesickness, but a good young player, with potential so I wouldn't say it was a bad move). Roofe and Helander are good players, but with their injuries they're not great signings. We can't get players of their quality. I wouldn't say they were bad, though. Itten didn't work out, but I think he's a good player with potential. He's scoring for fun for the champions of Switzerland just now. I don't think we used him properly. (Bacuna - I'm still convinced this was done for a quick flip, which did make us money.) Like I've said, it's not egregiously bad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 15,515 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 So, we won but I'm assuming last night didn't change many opinions on the manager? I think the board will stick with GvB unless the league campaign starts getting really desperate, unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No playing style, no game plan. Rely on individual moments of brilliance to make things happen. Set pieces are meek. Defending looks dodgy. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
