We need to have a proper assessment of players who arent good enough and dont want it enough.
Morato
John Victor
McAtee
Zinchenko
Awoniyi

Jury still out on

I'd add Luiz into that top list, Ndoye lucky to be in the second list too, Hutchinson is in the second list, £37m for that performance this evening is quite frankly a joke.

Thought both Luiz and Hutchinson did well actually, admittedly Hutch to blame for at least one goal.
Must be difficult for Luiz as its pretty clear we aren’t taking up the option to buy and he will already know he’s moving yet again.

Not his fault but Boly not at the standard either. Kalimuendo already gone Wood injured

Thats a minimum 8 and possibly 10 out or not up to it. No wonder the squad looks so thin despite 14 summer additions.

I thought McAtee, Luiz and Hutch were the worst players on the pitch first half, physically the weakest midfield I reckon we've ever put out. None of them could pass forward either. Granted Hutchinson and Luiz improved a bit once MGW came on and dragged everyone forward.

You're being generous to Bakwa. I cannot fathom the fee we paid when there's lads in championship well beyond him

It's funny (well not that funny) that if you saw that team sheet in August, you'd have thought that was a pretty tasty starting lineup and have been quite excited for that to be our team for the season.

You're not going to hit every time and we did have to replace Elanga and correctly added cover for Wood (we just never used him for some reason). Feels like the Kalimuendo one is the one thats been the most costly fail with the Wood injury. I wonder if we'll ever find our why all the managers didn’t rate him. Not to forget Ange didn’t even have him in his last squad.

I hate to write off players but I’d say that was McAtee’s last chance and Morato will
Never play for us again.

He is not a flair player and if he runs runs runs in training then he will play for us again.

Egypt v Ivory Coast tonight, hopefully time for Sangare to come home. Its all gone wrong since he left, I'm pretty sure he'll fix everything...

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Been thinking about this one and dont want to be hard on a limited player but its all Morato’s fault. Not last night but for where we are.
He gets turned by Buonanotte vs Leicester, it ends 2-2 and we lose our CL spot.
That doesn’t happen, EM never storms onto the pitch and theres no fall out between him and Nuno. They discuss Edu, Nuno says he would rather not and EM listens and agrees. We all live happily ever after. Probably.

Wow Morato has some influence :Funny:

The Leicester result was a sliding doors moment I agree and what happened on the pitch after was the beginning of the end with Nuno. The reality is though that Edu was coming in regardless of what happened that day.

Back to Morato. The lad clearly tries but is prone to errors. But then under Nuno, Ange and Dyche he’s been a bit part player so as with other back up players must be difficult to be at the top of his game and error free. I mean the likes of Murillo, Milenkovic etc are regulars but still make errors just perhaps not as many.

He was being picked under Nuno and Ange too
