Here you go m8

Its not missing the point at all, its disagreeing. Your point is understood. As was already pointed out, our best performances were when we played high & offensive, we've got the tools to do that more often now. Also when your goals scored are concentrated in fewer games than virtually every...

Gullit joined them, it was the dawning of the age of the big stars coming in. They followed that up with Zola, Di Matteo, LeBouef the following season and that was them off & running

Not too dissimilar to our standing in the West Midlands clubs from the mid 80's though 90s compared to now

I went down to Chelsea in 1994 to see us beat them, there were under 10,000 dotted around Stamford Bridge & they were in the FA Cup Final the following week.

Hard to base off one game v Traore, but Maatsen looked way better going forward than defensively.

He had his eyes on 'Craine' the whole time

Someone said last night, Brighton I think, our best displays were when we were much more offensively minded.

They are disagreeing, not missing Its blatantly obvious what he is saying, that nobody thinks we didn't need new attackers, but priorities should have been elsewhere. Which is a perfectly valid view. Other people (I'm one of them) think that attackers were just as much of a priority because we...

You get a lot more points by scoring consistently, we failed to score in 18 games & 7 of those were nil-nils, which is the second most in the division- so scoring in so few matches was clearly a very big problem as we dropped potentially 14 points by not turning goalless draws into wins maybe...

that goals scored stat is misleading. We scored more than 9 other teams alright but we failed to score in 39% matches which meant we were 21st in the table for games failed to score in. as for why we prioritised what we did, probably a combination of wanting to be more offensive- which requires...

That’s a good point actually

we were 21st in the “failed to score” stats

that’s because Bakayoko wasn’t good enough, I don’t think he was injured too much was he, therefore if he’s not good enough we have to improve. And Godden isn’t fit. i know- it’s not “why did we buy strikers” it’s “why did we prioritise strikers” and I 100% get that, but having better options...

because we couldn’t score goals?

is Godden back though?

but of course people are going to bring up Biamou and Bakayoko, because they clearly needed to be upgraded

you certainly can’t go on the offensive if you don’t have the players to do it, we didn’t last season

I don’t disagree at all so don’t get wound up, however my perception on many occasions was that we had to play like that because our attackers were incapable of keeping possession & we’d just give it straight back to them. I don’t think I ever felt confident going into games that we were going...

take the point but the stats can also show different things We were 18th in clean sheets (28%) but we were 21st in failed to score (39%), meaning more goals in fewer games- eg Millwall- as opposed to consistently scoring. You only get 3 points no matter how many you score in a win, you never...
