I'd far rather see Pete in our starting XI than Matt, at least he'd bring decent music, a party vibe and some Class As to the table.
Athleticism and footballing skills would be roughly similar I reckon.
Today Morecambe, Tomorrow the world! We’re gonna win the cup!
At this point if we got 50m for all 3 of them then I’d take it. Off the wage bill too. Start again.
trouble is Jose and the other manager both siad they could not trust the second 11
I think this has been a recurring theme throughout the ENIC reign.
Decent first 11 that can match any team on their day but zero quality in backup so inevitibly every star player is overworked and exhausted by April.
I think Pete is a better dribbler- especially after a fewI'd far rather see Pete in our starting XI than Matt, at least he'd bring decent music, a party vibe and some Class As to the table.

Lucas’ nowhere near that.There are levels:
Didnt go today, watched on a stream without commentators.
Who was getting booing treatment?

Ah come on dele was shocking. Tanganga was definitely worse than rodon
If we get Kidderminster we will have to watch these fuckers again though.
And is 100% on Hitchen and Levy. It's fucking shocking.
It's a myth that we can't get players good enough for the first 11. We can't get players good enough for the first 11 at prices that Enic want to pay. It'll fuck us very soon, when our only good players are gone or not good enough any more.
If you think we are going to get any money or something to pay his wages then you are more naive than Ndombele is in his skill.Indeed - I know people get emotional on here, but suggestions to 'rip up his contract and don't even care if we get any money for him' is not a practical way to run a business, or a football team. We do need to get something for these players if they leave, otherwise everyone is going to moan because we don't have funds for transfers, and the owners won't want to throw their own money in (which of course is their prerogative - too many of our fans seem to want to spend other people's money - well, newsflash, it's up to other people how they spend their money). So it leaves quite a dilemma - I suspect our senior mgmt will have been hoping for some sparks of promise from the 2nd string today, to at least attract some suitors for people like N'Dombele, Dele and Lo Celso, but obviously that performance will only have damaged their reputations further. So it's difficult - it's not financially practical to give them away / terminate their contracts, and difficult to get a good price for them when they keep putting in such poor performances. So whilst some might say today is a blessing in disguise as it shows Levy what we need, that's not much good if it also hampers our chances of offloading those we don't need...
Ndombelly. Shuffling off at snails pace holding up the game when 1 down
I think that's one of the main reasons he's working his way into Conte's plans, and if so then good luck to him - 6 months ago I would have been happy for us to get rid of him, but if a player has the will and attitude to learn and develop then hats off to him. Think I was previously 'tainted' against him by his supposed media outbursts, suggesting to me that he's nowhere near as good as he thinks he is, but everyone deserves another chance, and if he's realised that the way to progress is on the pitch (both training and 'real') rather than gobbing off to the press, then I'd be happy to see him improve and become a useful part of the squad.
