They were. Mine above are just based on this season.

We did sign three centre midfielders, plus had a fully integrated and free from personal issues Billy Gilmour available who I’m regularly told is class on here and also Moder coming back. Now we weren’t ever going to sign ready made players of the class of Mac Allister and Caicedo but we did...

Interestingly, it’s slightly higher just based on this season - 1.69 ppg. In the games he’s missed for us this season, we only average 1.25 ppg. The narrative has been that he’s been poor this season but even when he’s not at his best, he’s such an important player for us. This is the one area...

No he didn’t, you’ve proven my point with that. He turned backwards to pass the ball back to Pervis and got fouled after he’d released the ball which is what he did all game. I desperately want Fati to be a success having trumpeted his arrival knowing the player he was but it’s sad to see such...

I’d agree with that. Fati did work hard and put in a shift defensively - the issue with him was that he didn’t offer anything from at attacking point of view as he was reluctant to take on his man when he had the chance.

Didn't think he was that bad yesterday. Not his best but also not his worst performance. Hopefully the fitness is coming back. In fairness to him, a couple of times Origi or A.N Other were found free on the right were because of our tactics. It was noticable that we changed from a back 4 to 3...

I blame Houghton.

Can you be more pacific please or this thread will just become a damp squid.

Absolutely gutting. The one player we desperately needed not to get a serious injury all season. And yet, we all knew this was going to happen with the lack of full back signings in the summer. How many posts and threads were there on here in the summer saying this?!

Exactly that and this was my fear with Pervis. He’s looked fatigued the last couple of weeks. Changes need to be made, there’s just too much football played for the level of intensity these days, talented players are going to get ruined. For a start in this country, I would say all teams...

It was always going to happen, experts have been saying it for ages. The football calendar has been ridiculous and will continue to be unless changes are made. The players just play too much football at an intense level.

Are you not familiar with Dwayne’s work? Not good news at all about Pervis if not predictable. The lack of right and left back signings in the summer was a mystery.

About time - was waiting for this. He’s absolute class, will be pleased if we get any more than one more season out of him.

Wouldn't be surprised if we're working on a new contract for him, absolute class.

What a signing! Quality player - the best LB in the PL. And further to the corners thread yesterday, with the way Pervis crosses the ball, surely it would be worth giving him a go on those?!

Poor for the second goal certainly but overall I didn’t think he was that bad, put a couple of decent balls in too and linked well with Colwill. We looked weaker on the right today as Dunk and Gross were poor and Solly not as good as he has been lately.

Stunning! What a performance!!

Amazing how many people just want to drop March after his outstanding first two league games and pre-season. He is comfortably our best RWB at the moment. Lamptey has a lot of work to do to get ahead of him.

Great news! To get as much as we did for Cucu and now to sign Estupinan for as little as this is is just fantastic business on paper. Hopefully he will do the business on the pitch too.

Very good point! Getting mixed up with Gus.
