I’ve always been impressed by the chap at Roma who tends to keep Kamara out the French squad, moved from Germany. He’s that good I’ve forgot his name.

He played against us in that friendly at Walsall. Didn't really stand out from memory, it wasn't obvious what he offered the French above Bouba.

I thought he was one of their better players, not spectacular but always available for the ball and kept them ticking over. Difficult to judge in a friendly but like I said he’s been in plenty of French squads, so he’s got to have something about him.

Onana doesn't play unless he's 100% fit. Which he rarely is.
As our most expensive signing & at a time when the rest of our midfield is injured, that's not good enough & something I'm sure will be dealt with in the summer.
You'd think that the medical staff might by now have worked out how best to manage his fitness, diet, etc. No doubt he's a class act  -and having a better version of Nzonzi, Billings, etc in our midfield to bully opponents is proven to be a good thing - but his hokey-kokey fitness is not something that is helping us right now. Who else is out there who can play the Toure / Ciacedo type role?

Probably beyond us but Camavinga doesn’t play as much as he’d want for Madrid. In hindsight a player like Gravenberch would have been great. Highly rated at Ajax but never got a sniff at Bayern and moved for relatively peanuts. Big physical unit who can do a bit of everything.

Happens after every defeat right now, the whole heroes discussion section is worth ignoring for a few hours as everyone tries to one up each othger on who can have the biggest over-reaction.

Yeah, I pretty much swerve the place for 24 hiours after defeat, part as a kind of coping mechanism but largely due to the squawking.

24hrs or until Monday morning for me. It tends to become less hysterical once people are back to work.
