I wouldn't go that far but it's been some drop off. Major rebuild and improvement in a number of areas if you want to be dominant again. The killer question is will you get the transfers right and not slip into wasting money.

That was a poor Derby, I will take it but I don't think I've ever seen a side decline as fast as this city side. We were sitting ducks in that game and there was so little effort from them. Yet before the game I looked at their eleven and thought we are in trouble here.

Talking about Palmer, belting story for you. So obviously you know a few of the lads who work for the same company as me are childhood friends with his dad. Anyway when England played Greece recently at Wembley a few of them were working away on a site in London, they hit up his dad in the hope of some tickets the night before knowing they'd be down there. Only gets them tickets in an hospitality area with free food stations etc... So the lads are doing a concrete pour and as is with concrete it's unpredictable what time you will finish due to traffic and deliveries etc... so it gets to about 2 hours before the match and they now know to go they couldn't go back to the hotel to get changed. So they chance it in their work gear, trainers and work jackets. Only let them in didnt they, there were photos doing the rounds on WhatsApp of all these suits etc.. looking over at our lads wondering what the fuck was going on whilst they smiled for photos with a table full of pints dressed in full PPE and looking like they'd done a day down the mines haha!!!

Nobody knew the player Palmer was because it was being hidden so much in the rigid Pep system. What's clear is he must have been soaking up training with Kevin De Bruyne because every time he gets the ball his first instinct is how to damage a team with a killer pass. It's crazy to think you had his perfect replacement sat on the bench watching frustrated. Chelsea didn't know they were getting that either, they just struck gold, they thought they were picking up a useful squad player.

Then why didn't Forest do that then? The same Forest that beat us. We're terrible, the worst constructed United side in my life time. I'd be amazed if we take anything from the game.

Just stopped posting on forums for a while.

Savinho I don't know about but you can't teach a player like Doku correct decision making. He either hangs on to the ball too long or over hits a cross or shot. You will always get great games out of him but replacing Mahrez with him was a marked downgrade. As is selling a top class striker and assuming Haaland can go a season with no back up. Literally zero plan B whenever I see you play.

Doubt it, as bad as you've been you will still have enough to beat us on Sunday. I admire and respect the new coach for sticking with his principles and formation but we simply don't have the players to play it. We need to clear at least 10 players out of this squad that's been built by ETH. That includes players bought this season as well.

Thought Mazraoui had a fantastic debut to be fair. De Ligt got about 10 minutes so it was hard to judge but Maz was fantastic.

He will fit right in then. I'm looking forward to seeing how both players adapt to the Premier league.

Could be thrown straight in on Friday. @Viva la FCB am I right in saying he can operate on both sides of the pitch?

Time to ship him and find a replacement.

Into the transfer market they will go. Wonder who they will go for as I'd imagine they'd have accounted for Bobb covering the loss of Alvarez.

What a goalkeeping display that was.

Sorry, I read it wrong. Yeah, I thought you said I can't believe it.
