Don't know enough about Mitchell. Solanke starts ahead of Delap. Porro ahead of Udogie. Still need a top defensive midfielder/captain/hard bastard. Would like to see Abbott too.
 
I think more and more we will take up the option for cardoso for that role
Never heard of him.
Is he a hard bastard?

Old school stopper and runner
Not a passer from what I’ve seen
But the right fit for the squad gap we have
 
We need to step away from the idea of a "first eleven".

We want to be playing 2 games per week, every week, relentlessly, which no player can survive alone.

So we need to be rotating and switching in every game, NOT just playing Solanke 'til he explodes.

Stop talking about first eleven and backups, or I will personally take you out the back and spank you.

You may talk about starters and finishers for a match e.g. start with Odobert for 60 and then Johnson for 30.



Furthermore, I don't want a player to pace themselves to eke out 90 minutes wherein the last 20 minutes they are blowing out of their asses, I want a player to give their all for 60 and then rightly be subbed off for some other hungry player.

Like recently, if Madders or VdV or Bergvall were only able to give us 60 we swap them off for HIGH quality replacements to finish the key period and most important period of the game.

Now stop being so naughty.

I don't want to have to tell you this again.

When the team sheet goes up, a player on the bench might feel downhearted, but should not, because they will come on for the vital last half hour.

We'll only be playing 1 game a week next season though thanks to Ange's fudge up, so we'll need to reduce the overall size of our squad for next season
 
Well, if we have the liberty to dream a little.

Vic
Robinson (Fulham), VDV, Danso, Spence
Ederson/Gray, Bergvall/Kulusevski/Dibling
Son/Odobert, Solanke/Gyokeres, Nico Williams/Barcola

No one said it had to be realistic! Levy, show some ambition, will you! A new DM for me the most important, unless Gray can do that. We'd need options either way. Would also like an RW and a new RB. Don't know the new football lingo for that - a new 3 and 4 or whatever. 😂

fudge, the little pop up brick that comes up when I write is annoying as hell.
 
How the fudge did we not win something with that team (stick in Dembele for Sissy) ? That was our zenith and we still came up short.

Yes I'm still bitter.
and how did we let that playing style and high standards slip away... when levy talked about project investments in the team, it ended when we reached the CL final. i'm never gonna believe him again.
