    It was only a matter of time before it turned out that the 2 central defenders we bought in January are crap !

    The most annoying thing about that clip is half way through you hear the dulcet tone of Bachmann yelling away. Why does he shout that every time? What else do you think we will try and do

    It's amazing how many of those stupid phrases/cliches are still in the professional game. I remember in the Slav season I was right behind the dugouts against Rotherham and was excited to potentially pick up some insights. Instead Steve Evans shouted every Sunday League cliche under the sun (FIRSTS - whenever there was an aerial duel for example).

    He's shouting that at the ball not player. It's his primary strategy for getting the ball away from his goalline.

    Yup, followed by "seconds" if the ball then dropped and was contested. A sunday league classic.

    Let's think, who would be best to mark the keeper, Kabasele or Martins?

    The answer to that question can never be "Kabasele" :)

    Must have been a very weak Peterborough side for us to win 7-0!

    If 6 goals for the kids all season mean Blake/Adeyemo are better than Sarr/Davis, that must mean this Martins fella is good enough for Man City, surely?

    Actually willing to give Martins the benefit of the doubt, I think he could good. We were a mess last season and it's a hard league to adapt to, especially in a dreadful side and 2 coaches in 3 months. High output player with amazing stamina, will suit Ismael big time.

    Almost certainly. Ismael will be under pressure if he doesn't play an expensive Pozzo Player Trading FC player. Same for Koné.

    Was pretty underwhelmed with both last season but as pointed out above, young players moving to a complete shitshow of a club in a different continent so let's hope that first six months was them acclimatising and we'll see more from them this season.

    I think it will be interesting to see how he develops this coming season and how Ismael might improve him.

    No reason for thinking everything must naturally stand still over the coming months.

    Needs game time to improve, should be ok for this level.

    I liked him. If we were going to get any loan player back, he's the one I'd want. Bit of graft and was unlucky with the woodwork.

    Disappointing opening 6 months overall, but there is a player in there that I think can come good this season. I don't think there was a lack of trying, but I think he was physically dominated and struggled to get used to this league which would have been hard to acclimatise to from the outset. Hopefully a pre-season and the lack of shock factor adjusting to a new league will help him show what he's about.

    Gives us a valid option for attacking players which is good. Came in rated almost as highly as Pedro and Richarlison both were from Fluminense so he's got to have something about him.

    I think he came across as a hard working player but with a jack of quality , which I imagine could have been him adjusting as he must have some quaint about him as a Brazilian u21. So I think he may do well under Ismael as he will have he work ethic

    I actually think he could be a fantastic player if he can get used to the league.

    I really don't know what people expect?

    He came here last season very highly rated off the back of a full season in Brazil. Tried to make things happen when he played but it didn't work for him, I am sure how crap we were didn't help. I don't see why anyone would have an issue with giving him another go.
