The stadium looks fantastic! This is what it was designed for!

Listen lads not to get on a negative one, i'm just being realistic! Our target this season and the next seasons has surely got to be to get into Europe and establish ourselves as a decent Europa team. Not to mention lifting an FA cup in the near future. As it stands right now and if I was putting a bet on I would say around about another tenth place finish. For me the squad is still short. Still problems in defence, not only with the personnel but obviously the coaching. As long as Noble is at the club Bilic will continue to play him and that will hurt our progression. We lack creativity and rely too much on Lanzini. We lack pace on the wings and we basically lack wingers. After Hernandez up front what have we got? Not much in terms of goals. We balls up in the last two windows and now we suffering consequences. Weve managed to get rid of some but I feel it will take another window to sort this squad out. And dare I say it another manager. Fonte, Collins, Noble, Snodgrass, Feghouli, Sakho and Caroll all need to be moved on! New faces and feash ideas!

I forgot Ayew and Adrian add them to that list! Possibly Og as well. That makes 10. Need another overhaul!

Ogbonna moved on!? What a dim statement. He's the best central defender we have. Who would you replace him with. This isn't fantasy football you know where you buy good defenders for £5.5m.
Snodgrass, Feghouli, Fonte and Carroll are the only ones I would move on. Collins I would move on next year and Noble stays. until he wants to retire. He's been a good servant and can still put in a shift in the games with less importance.

I'm going to upset a few people now as well as myself but Liverpool are serious about couthino's replacement and I'm sorry to say but it's our best player by far LANZINI, leaving would destroy us and we have to tell Liverpool from the first bid he is not for sale at any price and hope he doesn't get his head turned this couldn't have come at a worse time so let's cross everything and hope Manuel is still a hammer come the end of august. COYI.

I'd stick with ogbonna who if he could stay fit would be in my team every week he's a bit slow on the turn but he's quick and athletic and his pace gets him out of trouble you don't play for Italy if you're two bob but we need another quality C/ B at the very least with a midfielder who's comfortable on the ball and can get up and down the pitch for 90 mins something noble can't do and definitely another striker . COYI.

Ogbonna has problems with his distribution and his positional sense is not great at times! . People saying who would u drop him for then? . Well therein lies the problem, Ogbonna and Reid are the best that we have to choose from! . I think we need younger, pacy and intelligent Centre backs!

We do have quite and ageing back line and none are blessed with any pace and they'll only get slower! . was shown against City, up against young pacy strikers they looked lost at times!

Ogbonna 29
Ried 29
Fonte 33
Collins 33
Zabaleta 32

needs to be addressed sharpish!

COY164 i'm not a kid I don't play computer games or fantasy football so I wouldn't know what your talking about. In regards to Og being our best defender, I would have to disagree! Reid all day long for me. Yes he's a strong athlete but so is Husain Bolt, doesn't mean i'd stick him in our back 4. Yes I do believe we can do better in nearly all areas of the pitch. CM is an important position and keeping Noble on as some sort of privileged player due to his service is ludicrous! I know Chelsea were able to do that with Terry in he's later years but he was surrounded by world class players and unfortunately we haven't got that luxury. If we want to hang around 10th, 11th, 12th spot that's fine. Personally i'd like us to push on and break into that top 6! Collins, as well as Sakho will likely be moved on next summer. Ayew for me is a waste of space. Hopefully he bangs in a few goals this season and he can leave to the highest bidder next summer. Then there's Carol, if by a miracle we can get rid of him next summer, brilliant! Newcastle will be a good fit! Like I said, Big overhaul still needed next summer if we've got any aspirations of pushing on as a club. Also did I mention a new manager.

Woz. When I see fans banging on about disloyal players and how players should be more loyal to the teams instead of following the money, then Noble falls within that small
Clutch of players who has shown loyalty. He could have left our club on numerous occasions for more money but never. Then there are fans who show their players no
Loyalty and that's where you seem to fit.
I agree we need to shift half a dozen players out but as a loyal fan ( loyal to the players too) I want noble to stay at the club in some capacity. Training the youths are whatever. but out. absolutely NOT. Perhaps he should be asked to consider his future and if he felt he wouldn't be first team choice, he would opt for a coaching role.

When I said OUT I'm talking about the team. I agree players like Noble, Collins and even Rio should all be given given a role at some capacity within the club!

Woz. Then perhaps you selected the wrong words to get your message across. 😂 You words were they needed to be "moved on". that means moved out of the club.
HOWEVER. I do now get your point. I agree, Noble needs to be "last option for DM at this stage in his career if he wants to continue to play. He alternative is a more ambassadorial role or coaching role at the club.
