It’s not often a team has a single glaring hole like we do for a decent winger. One player that provides a similar threat to Rogers and can unshackle Watkins. The impact could be huge.
It could be huge. But to find an electric winger going forward who is able to carry out defensive duties is extremely difficult. Watched Semenyo closely last night, electric on the ball but useless and lazy in defence. Eze is proving the same, thanks to him, we got our first goal against Arses.
Not sure Unai likes conventional wingers, doesn't suit his patterns!!
We don't really play with conventional wingers so not sure why the panic to fix this glaring hole. Bailey did well on the right for sure for a spell, Rashford was tried on the left but eventually pushed up front. Same for Malen. Philogene, Sancho, Guessand, Elliot all signed to compete out wide but failed. Maybe Zaniolo too. The wide positions in our midfield are difficult roles to play, tactically and technically. McGinn excels in it. Ramsey gave us great balance on the left at his best too. That's the kind of profile we need, the next mini McGinn.
Do we know why did we sell Ramsey? Only cause money or might also be not exactly what we needed as well.

And this season?

Barca interested in Pau, according to A Man On The Internet.
Given Mings is obviously miles better (see prevailing opinion ten months ago), maybe we should just sell him to Barcelona and make even more cash from this.
We were getting better results when Mings played 8/10 months ago. That’s not an opinion.
Opinions are fine, but I’ll stick with facts on this one.
Let's get those Barcelona millions then.
Why? The facts have changed.
I don't think anything has changed. My opinion on what our best back five is is the same as it was eighteen months ago, and eight months ago.
Obviously, you’re entitled to an opinion. I’m on about facts. Mings and Pau were swapping with regularity towards the end of last season. We got better results when Mings played.

Poor show that Austin hasn't arranged for anyone to put a reducer on the cheating rat during international training.

Inverness go ballistic again. They win 9-0 away from home against Dumbarton in the cup.

Fernandes making noise at Yanited, hopefully they will drop him for Sunday.
sadly he hasn’t gone for the manager, just everyone else. So he still plays on Sunday I think.
