No, the players were knackered from an excessive preseason training program- same as last year - with a dinosaur manager unable to see the need for changes. It is part of the game now. Tim, seamus and gana were absolutely worn out and needed replacing. Compare and contrast with the actions of...

It was the same as last year, players over trained, particularly the ridiculous gaffer’s day, and don’t get going until we’ve played 3 or 4 games - can’t afford to throw away these points!

I hope that he spends the season on loan in the Championship and comes back full of confidence after scoring a few goals.

Kompany to replace Dyche for me!

Surely the answer is to play another striker alongside DCL or Beto with Gomes ahead of two central midfield player’s ie in a 3-5-2. This could be for home games only with Decoure supporting a single striker for away games.

If you watch the training videos before the last two games you will see DCL and Beto smashing every chance into the net! On match days it all falls to pieces.

Never realised that Andre took on those teams all on his own!

Agree with this. I was thinking that he could play in a withdrawn number 10 role sliding through balls for Beto, Danjuma and Harrison etc. could he cope with being man marked?? Seems to be one step ahead of the other players when you watch the training videos and keeps possession well. Should be...

I’m sure that Wharton would jump at the chance of sitting on our bench for a year. He would be much better staying where he is and playing a full year in the Championship.

Let’s hope that Dyche is not planning to get the Swiss international centre back in so that he can part exchange Branthwaite for the PSV winger.

Unless we follow his performances for Lille in their European games? He apparently played very well last season, don’t get all the nastiness towards him.

Yes, I’d like him to go on loan at Preston with Cannon for this season.

Hopefully to be replaced by Gronoto which would be a massive step up.

Think he lacks confidence going forward. Would like to see him on the left of a back three with Tarks and Branthwaite. The two outside players have enough pace to cover the space behind the wing backs.

Me too although I thought that Koeman didn’t make the most of it.

And he’s capable of playing both long and short passes. He just needs to be played in the correct role and limit his defensive responsibilities to making his opponent play the ball square or backwards. His confidence must be affected when the crowd gets on his back. Similar thing happened to...

Only problem is that Onana is rubbish at both heading the ball and the aerial challenges. Waste of a player who can perform well in midfield. Simms is also poor in the air but is a decent finisher in the box. Much rather see everything kept on the floor and Grey and Maupay stretch their centre backs

Apart from a left foot. Needs to be reasonably two footed if he aspires to be a decent international player.

I’m sure that he will do well when he comes back from his highly beneficial loan. He will most probably be the sub striker in his first year back as the premier league is a difficult place to play football. Hopefully he will learn enough to make the number 9 shirt his own.

Played in the wrong position with the wrong partner. He needs to be on the left with richarlison and digne to make use of his talents.
