I hope we go for the jugular today, Everton are there for the taking if we can get an
early goal there fans will turn on them.
The way the league is if we win we could go 3rd, lose and could be 15th.

Rumours that Coventrys agents are demanding £5k per week to sign a new deal evidently this is twice the West Ham cap and the club has said no
Personally I think the club are right to say no. £125k a year is more than enough for any teenager especially when they haven't played first team league football.
04 Oct 2019 06:46:41
I've just seen that west ham would want £80m for Rice, why put a figure on him, if he's not for sale then don't put a figure on him £80m is no where near enough, we couldn't replace him.
04 Oct 2019 11:51:54
Apparently it’s what the industry does. So far the biggest speculation has been about Man U and I’m pretty sure that MP has already persuaded Rice that they are a once great team in serious decline and that he has better European prospects with us.

Excellent performances from Lanzini, Fabianski and Rice. Very good from Diop and Ogbonna. The rest need to take a long hard look at themselves.
Anderson needs to stop being all fur coat and no knickers - you’re there to feed Haller. Do it for heaven’s sake. Haller didn’t really put a foot wrong, he just needs decent service and other attackers with him up front.
We actually played our best football when we were down a man.
A draw was a fair result in the end, but when a game is spoiled by a clueless referee, what can you do?
I hope that Johnson gets a call up for the next game as Zaba’s legs aren’t up to 90 mins any longer. Please don’t stick Ogbonna, or Cresswell in at LB.
17 Sep 2019 16:49:05
Thought Anderson tracked back well - but he slowed up play when attacking. Could this be because Yarmolenko was so off the pace that we only had Haller in the box and he was covered? Need to get more in there more quickly perhaps?
15 Sep 2019 20:24:04
There’s a rumour we could be 3rd tomorrow night, but keep it quiet! 🤫🤫🤫🤫.
16 Sep 2019 07:41:40
Joint 2nd!
17 Sep 2019 10:36:39
So much for that! 😪.
01 Sep 2019 00:35:35
Terrific win. We could have had a hatful, but Krul was outstanding.
Anderson MoM - some of his through balls were a joy to see (eye of the needle precision) .
Lanzini terrific too, Haller excellent (with exception of that tackle - he needs to be careful there) .
Rice and Noble will be nailed on as a DM partnership for a while. Even Sanchez didn’t put a foot wrong.
Pleased for Yarmolenko as his goal will give him confidence and it was great to see his celebration with the medical staff.
We’ve got some very winnable matches coming up. Happy days.
01 Sep 2019 09:03:09
Agree Markro, Krul was amazing yesterday. Team appeared to be balanced. I think we look stronger with Ogbonna, he tidied up for Diop, plus being left footed helps.
01 Sep 2019 09:07:16
I think the full back partnership is pretty nailed on as well! Fredo and Arthur both put in very good performances and they have pace to burn
Anderson is an absolute joy when his head I switched on. Haller reminds me a bit of Kanoute, great player!
02 Sep 2019 11:48:22
100% Great performance.
02 Sep 2019 12:01:26
100%, great performance.
Balance in CM is key for us, and Noble is the guy who enables us to achieve this when he's alongside Rice. Nobes is great on the ball and transitions the ball into the creative players so well. He also has the defensive mentality and physical commitment needed to help Rice protect the back four. Our biggest weakness may be that we have no cover for Nobes (our closest is Snodgrass and he is a winger by trade), while Nobes also has his shortfalls with his lack of pace. If he had Kante's legs he would be a superstar!
Ovations like the one he received on Saturday should be encouraged. He is a club legend, and we should want to show the current crop (Rice/ Lanzini/ Haller/ Fornals/ Diop) how we treat our legends, and make them want to do the same.
Have to put a word out for Masuaku, who once again proved he is improving at LB. Still has a mistake in him (especially against a big team who will attack us more) but he is improving, and we love a player who gets his head down and works on their game! Long may it continue.
03 Sep 2019 17:55:01
Nickinho, agree with your post, have always rated Masuaku, every player has mistakes in them obviously, he’s taken bags of stick from many posters, but he is an attacking wing back, with bags of pace, a good ball crosser and a grafter👍👍⚒⚒⚒.
17 Sep 2019 15:09:21
Masuaku red will be recinded without fail. COYI.
12 Aug 2019 12:49:33
I posted a few weeks back that it could be time to let Masuarka play his natural position on the left going forward with Anderson moving inside or on the right
Cresswell is no longer the player he was so I would put Johnson at left back or bring the new lad catdosa into a back three but it may be too soon for that
Lanzini is getting back to his pre injury days but is still lightweight it actually was quite distressing seeing him trying to push Walker off the ball only to bounce off him and go flying flat on his face. I though Wiltshire was completely off there were no over the top balls for Haller to run on to and once Antonio had gone off there was no pressure in the final tbird
Lot of people saying we need to get 3 points at Brighton but having watched them on MOTD Against Watford that may be as hard as beating City. Still I'm not too downhearted it's early days
With regards to VAR or as I prefer to call it VAD (Video Aided Decision) ) I thought it was OK decision were right and players are going to have to think a bit more about the rule changes.
If they had put a bit more on the screen for the Penalties it would have been so easy to understand a simple "VAR checking encroachment" everyone would have understood immediately
Great fun to silence the away supporters when the Jesus goal was scrubbed put and the atmosphere for a few minuites after was great
Look forward as usual to you responses.
14 Aug 2019 10:17:30
Agree 100% Mercerl with Cresswell and Lanzini.
I also dislike the constant diving from Lanzini.
12 Aug 2019 07:52:07
Not a great start to the season, but it's one of the city games out of the way. let's hope we don't meet them too often this season. I agree we can't play so may attacking players, it's not fare on the young boy rice.
And please give Johnson the start. does cresswell think his performance merits even playing for the reserves?
Onwards and upwards come on you irons.
08 Aug 2019 07:36:28
Deadline day today!
Any rumours of possible transfers or loans?
Haven't really heard of this guy from the Swiss league Ajeti, I suppose this could be one for the future maybe?
Would like to see us try and get another CDM-CM in before the window shuts as I think an injury to rice or wilshere we will be very light
Thoughts gents?
08 Aug 2019 09:14:18
Apparently had the medical yesterday and will sign today
Meanwhile Diangana year long to the Baggies plus Cullen back to Charlton for the season will get good experience
For me this is 0ne of the best Windows for a long long time
COYI.
08 Aug 2019 09:32:21
Apparently done as club annniunced :)
08 Aug 2019 15:41:08
Agree mercel it has be a good window, some good business and happy to see us bring in some youngsters to compete with the first team!
Fingers crossed it is a good season, top 10 is achievable in my eyes but other clubs like Everton Watford Leicester have bought well too,
I just hope we don’t have a serious amount of injuries like last season, that could really hurt us,
Bring on city 😩.
08 Aug 2019 18:23:13
Hi steve AJETI is ready for the 1st team now mate he's played in the champions league for basel and is a box striker which we need. COYI.
07 Aug 2019 08:52:32
C&H increasingly optimistic about Ajeti.
07 Aug 2019 11:07:33
Ex says the deal will be completed today.
{Ed002's Note - It will be a big step up.}
07 Aug 2019 11:47:02
Yes, I think so too, but you can only score against whoever you’re playing and his recent record is outstanding.
Failing Haller, or Chicha injuries, he’ll be the third option, but if he can be in the right place at the right time, our multiple attacking playmakers ought to give him opportunities.
He’s also of an good age (22) for MP to delevop.
07 Aug 2019 12:25:58
What's he like? Never watched or even heard of him. anyone shed any light on him?
{Ed002's Note - He has done OK and scored goals in Switzerland but I doubt he is moving as a regular started.}
07 Aug 2019 12:56:08
I just watched the video of him on C&H: looks very good in the air and scores equally well with either foot. I concede that the defences are Swiss League, but you’ve still got to put them away and the range of shots and chips looks very encouraging.
07 Aug 2019 13:17:55
Really liking our direction cardoso 18 ajeti 22 and the Stuttgart player who 22 very refreshing and a team who can grow together.
07 Aug 2019 14:07:53
Twitter is suggesting a done deal.
Ed002 is right, massive step up but still an improvement on Huggill.
Weirdly have a good feeling about him and Cardoso, both look very professional.
07 Aug 2019 16:55:39
Both Salah and Shaquiri came from the Swiss League. Fingers crossed!
07 Aug 2019 17:02:47
Mistley. whose the Stuttgart player? Been away on holiday for a while so missed quite a bit.
07 Aug 2019 20:26:00
eds just wondering if you have seen or know what cardoso is like? thanks.
{Ed001's Note - I haven't sorry.}
07 Aug 2019 22:49:39
I think you will all be suprised how well this AJETI will perform as SWISS football isn't as bad at all BASEL have always been tough to beat in home games of champions league now before you all shoot me down in flames I never said they ever looked like getting out of their group but always when I watched them they were decent.
08 Aug 2019 10:49:15
Ed 002,A YETI is BIGFOOT, not big step!
