We've already been turned over by Spurs and Newcastle. We don't want to make a habit of being that kind of team. Would be very typical of Moyes to get a performance from us with a very depleted squad.
The stadium needs a big night. I'm all for it to be this game when I'm back home for Christmas with a ticket.
Worried that we'll be down to the bare bones and Arsenal will be looking for a statement win, but we should still be looking to give them a real game. Just don't concede a goal early...
I think he's had a lot of support. It's only on the likes of this forum where people are being honest about what we've seen so far. Are we supposed to clap along and pretend it's going well?
Unfortunately we need him. Ndiaye, Gana and KDH all out. We can't be just resting players and giving Arsenal the 3 points. Mainly because I've bought a ticket 😂
In the past under Moyes this was the type of transfer that always seemed to work well. Been a tough time for the lad under some very poor managers and a lot of instability at the club, but he really does need to be moved on.
We'd get a lot more out of a good striker. Barry looks completely lost half the time and doesn't seem to make any intelligent runs. Mostly just ambles around.
If you put him up front for Arsenal or City in this league I think he'd still really struggle. I'd definitely fancy our centre halves...
I disagree with this. I just think Barry is well off the pace in terms of movement and being able to compete with the opposition centre halves. Even when we pin the opposition back, he's barely involved.
Coming up to half a season now and unfortunately you'd be hard pushed to say the transfer...
Quite similar to Tom Davies. When he leaves, you'll barely hear from him. I predict he'll head to a team towards the bottom of somewhere like the Bundesliga at first.
Knew he'd say that. Tbh it never really felt like we troubled Chelsea apart from that spell towards the end of the first half. The type of day we could have played for another 90 minutes and not bothered the scoreboard. There was just something inevitable about it all.
Most of the time he just can't make any impact on the game. Stroll in the park for the opposition centre halves. It's an unfair comparison but the Lukaku of Everton would thrive in this team playing off Grealish and Ndiaye. Barry just can't get anything going.
Big lack of goals in this team so whenever we concede it's a big ask. With the absences over the next few weeks we could have quite a few tricky games coming up. Time for the back up players to step up and seize the chance.
