Typical Dutch game. We should have been comfortably ahead but we fail to take our chances. And ofcourse Poland scores a screamer. Koeman quite bad btw. Without Frimpong we were toothless on the right. Simons is not a right winger. Bummer, with a win we could have booked our tickets for the...

Couple of exciting days coming up. Would be great to get some others in but it already looked really nice to see a bench with Alcaraz, Dibling, Barry, McNeil and a hot prospect like Harrison Armstrong. We have options! Not too shabby.

I agree. I also think he is more an 8 than a 10. He lacks the special touch a real number 10 has (see Grealish his "flicks" for example). His ball distribution as an 8 is excellent though and he does have a good pair of lungs. Having said that he can do a job at 10 and he did so today. I would...

Last few years we sometimes had the feeling "What the hell have we done to deserve this" with Jack Harrison. Different Jack but again we have the feeling "What the hell have we done to deserve this?" 😀

Lets hope OBriens bad game opens Moyes' eyes and stops him getting Soucek instead of a RB. Not holding it against OBrien btw. Everybody can have a bad game once in a while. But thats why you should always have quality backups.

Which position would Moyes play Soucek? Seems highly unlikely he would be a (backup) DM. The other midfield positions are already taken. Since we are not on unlimited funds, its kinda weird to spend 20 mil on a 30 year old, who is not a starter. Not only that, we would probably already need an...

I know the Eredivisie is a bit of a Mickey Mouse league but there are/were definately not a load of players who had Suarez his stats during his Ajax days (loved him back then). Those stats are rare, even in the Eredivisie. Especially since he did it 2 seasons in a row.

Agreed about their need to play and we have to give them opportunities. But it's not 5 for 2 since Garner is a backup on RB/LB, KDH is also used as ACM, Gana is gone for 8 matches or so. To me a midfield where we have to pmay Tim and Harrison together is too light for the PL. And because of all...

Would be very nice to get a young, high potential DM in but the "6 for 2 positions" might be a bit optimistic. I think Armstrong and Tim are not quite ready yet to see as full blown options. Especially since Gana is off to AFCON it might be worthwhile to get a quality loan option for the DM. An...

That was a quality finish. The shot in the first half was also a very clever attempt. Nice to have a player who is capable of delivering good shots from the edge of the box.

Comfortable on the ball and has a very natural touch. Looks like a very skilled player.

I agree. Also at Feyenoord he was more a CB who could play at RB, just like OBrien. We need a real RB, not another "someone who can play there when needed."

Is he available?

About Soucek. I really don't understand why we would want him. The last few weeks we have been bidding/buying/loaning players like Dibling, Grealish, Fofana, KDH. All either pure quality, lots of potential or in their prime with good footballing skills. Why the hell would we be interested in a...

Only one player we should get imo: Frenkie de Jong ;)
