I agree - it is all opinion. However, but where we essentially differ is that I don’t believe Evan’s performances are because he can’t cope with the pressure (he’s 19 years old and stepped up to take a pen for his Country for heavens sake!) and I absolutely don’t believe he should go out on...

Background matters. Look at young Hinshelwood‘s ease with which he has made the transition to top flight football - if you are not aware now then maybe you will be - Jack has the potential to be one of the best Midfielders in Europe - his background has made top flight football a comfortable...

He was an international player before he came to us and is still being selected to play for the ROI international team despite his domestic performances. Like Hinshelwood he comes from a high profile footballing background-I’m pretty sure the bright lights of Premier League football don’t phase...

I disagree - ‘Relegating’ Fergie to a Championship side would be absolutely the worst thing for his confidence, below his level of skill and his Dad would absolutely not allow it - we would lose him to another EPL team in a flash if that were put to him. @Hugo Rune is right imo, a summer break...

But not anywhere ‘until he’s ready’ Jamie Redknapp speaking at the Amex “This is a time to be really smart about his future … right now there’s no where better, he’s working with an unbelievable coach...he is in the right place and there’s absolutely no doubt in my mind he will go on to...

I think Ferguson would have looked very seriously at a permanent signing with Liverpool tbh under those circumstances, if that was all we would have offered him - he was ready for PL first team football when we signed him to the first team squad - Not just RDZ’s performances (as you say...

That’s not a great self-image buddy.🤷‍♂️ Being clever or not clever is not the issue - cause and effect is. (PS Please stop swearing so much - it’s not very nice and will just get you ****** ’again’.) My main concern for Ferguson on Saturday was that he had sustained an Achilles tendon injury...

In the situation of challenging a Yellow Card, options are limited - The referee may be assisted by a video assistant referee (VAR) only in the event of a 'clear and obvious error' or 'serious missed incident' in relation to: goal/no goal penalty/no penalty direct red card (not second caution)...

Odd reasoning. deliberately causing potentially career changing injuries to players has never been an acceptable part of the game so don’t imply it’s something ‘we have brought on ourselves’ or ‘have put up with’ as a price for not having VAR (or having VAR if that was your point) - Unless VAR...

‘Tackle’ here seen from the rear - it’s not even a tackle, which implies an attempt to play the ball - it’s just Fabinho literally booting Ferguson on his achilles heel to trip him up. Fcuking disgraceful officiating - VAR spend an eon trying to decide if Mitoma’s perfectly good (brilliant)...

You are absolutely right of course but I feel a ‘lot have not read’ previous posts on a thread before posting generalised comments like this 😉 🙂 I get these long threads get really boring with the constant regurgitation of previous posts making the same points, so understand why people don’t...

Sorry quoting myself ☺ but now we will see - very fortunate tbh that Hull wanted him - hopefully it will give him a clean sheet to start over - with less pressure in a lower ranked team. https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/news/3011976/connolly-heads-to-hull A good example of a player for...

Think you are projecting a bit here - not sure the very physical 14 year old bulldozing Zouma would have agreed with that assessment- and not the player we have now 😉 Maybe people think we should loan him out to Chelsea to lift them out of their rut 😜 He doesn’t have to ‘lead’ a forward line...

Ok sort of understand where you are coming from - a bit deep innit 😁 But yes, clearly without ‘skill and a good attitude’ a player won’t travel far in the PL the first gets him in through door, the second helps keep him in it.

Wow really? And I was thinking I and several others were doing exactly the opposite and looking specifically at Evan’s experience both in Ireland, our academy, our U23s and our PL1 and fitting it to where he is personally regardless of any other players history or experience to argue that him...

I share your viewpoint (as stated categorically above) but have a feeling it’s falling largely on deaf ears 😉 (btw I have to eat my hat if Buonanotte is sent out on loan and he is PL untested! 😂)

Yep - as I said ‘chalk and cheese’ 😉

Yes, fortunately not. I consider myself not in the ‘fan base’ that sees EF as the ‘answer to our goal scoring problems’ - ‘mythical or not’ and have said so repeatedly for several reasons - not least because our goal scoring is better than any one else in the PL at the moment. However, I just...

Yes, very good points - a very different team and system now. However, Connolly also failed to make an impact at Venezia or ‘Boro so there are personal stumbling blocks there too - like being a complete drama queen when he doesn’t get what he wants. He should not have been fast-tracked into...
