We've signed enough functional central midfielders that Roy will never have to change the plan!

Agree with much that has been said. We are very slow in supporting front players who become isolated. We have tried many central strikers going back to Glen Murray. None have been prolific which gives the idea its not the front men but the service they receive and this is to do with the style of play. We are the second oldest team in the division and apart from Wan Bissaka have not had much in the way of academy players making it to the squad. Without recruitment of good young players we will hit a brick wall, where we will need to spend heavily to keep up. If there rumour regarding Giroud (33) is true we will be getting an even older squad. HELP

Have you watched any football this season?

yes thanks...all bar 2 games.

what was your point?

We also played them when they were a little less confident, Brighton have upped their game to become real candidates for our position in this league, makes future games between us even more exciting ..it is whether they can keep it up.

im not sure if youve been watching since promotion, but we have never played fluid attacking football, we are a sit in soak up play & counter team. the time we tried to change that pardew lost
his job after a solid start to his tenure, and we had to employ fireman sam to dig us out of the s*** that experiment had left us in.

maybe if roy gets £50m to improve the top half of the squad, then i will expect a more attractive style of football...but we have 2 hopes of that happening anytime soon and bobs dead.

there we no complaints on here before we played 3 of the current top 4, and now weve lost to 3 of the top 4 people are bed wetting.
