The first sub today I was fine with. I would’ve put LWB on as part of the second set of subs though instead of shunting Kudus over to the left. I would instead have left Tonali and Fernandes as a midfield 2 and got Kulu on as a 10

Fernandes was our worst player. I know
We all rate him but he had a stinker today.
 
How is it Dom has got worse? I mean it wasnt a high bar to begin with. But now he actually makes me angry.
We would be better shipping him and Rich out in Jan and have nobody for all he does.

We better get someone in 1st wk of Jan.
And if there is nobody in the entire world with a better skill set than that. Then go ask Brighton where they find people

Its age i think. His body isn't responding like it used to and he doesn't trust it anymore. He suddenly moves like he's 40 now, rather than 30. We saw this dramatic fall-off with Dembele, and to a lesser extent Verts

Check his numbers. One good PL season in his entire career. He’s not declining; he’s performing at his normal level.

Exactly this. He was a talent as a youth but it never really came together and then he had that one Goldilocks season where everything came together perfectly and he scored loads but it wasn't his norm, it was a significant over performance on his part.

That's why for me people keep expecting or hoping it's going to click here, there's nothing to click, this is an accurate reflection of Solanke.

100% agree it's not going to click, but it's probably a little more complicated

- His Bournemouth seasons were 15, 30, 21
- He's failed for Chelsea, Liverpool & Spurs (there's a commonality there)

I'd say he's lacked the mentality to play under big club pressure plus his body is gone ..

Time for us to move on, two 9s in Jan, even if one is a young punt

And the 30 was in the Championship.

Marmoush has been signed as a #9. We’re obligated to sign him no matter what for £50M. We have Savio, Tel, W.Barnett along with Xavi & Odobert returning, Murdyk on loan and one of our brightest academy prospects Moore out on loan who can play LW. So it won’t be 2. Plus we are tigtht on FFP.
