No, he still has his finishing, but we were basically playing with 10 players on the pitch outside of the final third, that's just an untenable situation.
Hope we got a good price. OTT price hopefully. 50m.
Richy is an easy target after last season. last season at Everton he got 13 in a season where they nearly went down. Just about saved them on his own. Must be capable of 15 in a good attacking team. No one plays well at Brentford. They throttle the game and just play on the break. They are past masters at it.
let’s see him at home to United when they will attack us , more space for us.
people talk about 20 goal a season strikers when they are a very rare breed. Kane and Salah regularly do it but not many others. Rashford was said to have had a fantastic season last time and he didn’t make 20.
Michael Owen never got 20 league goals in a season.

He's joining Ronaldo...
Strange definition of the word 'fact' you have there, the word you're looking for is prediction and it's an utterley shit one at that based on the fact that I correctly called out our previous manager shite performance last season in which he deserved criticism.
Those of you digging out Son - he's the club captain now, so I would put more faith in Ange's opinion than yours. You'll be seeing a lot of Son playing this season.
If we got a decent fee we should go and get Tapsoba. That keeper needs top centre halves in front of him
Strikers top of the agenda atm imo. Ferguson and orban. Then tapsoba and eze. Sell richarlison. + kane cash. That will acquire those 4 players
Yeah, if they drop off In performance like they did today.
Play his way and to his standards and the results will take care of themselves.
If you play to his philosophy, you will BLOW teams away. Even city.
From what I saw today you are miles off where he wants to be but you can see where it’s headed.
Give him time and all other football will look slow, cumbersome and old fashioned.
TRUST THE PROCESS
....fair enough fella
He would be Ok playing against counter attacking teams because he has speed and he can mostly defend that. As soon as he plays against teams who play attacking football, he is a liability. He is clumsy. Not good at reading a game as well. He has shown over the past 4 seasons, he is not good enough.
Def have faith that Sonny will improve but he did look like a 40 yr old winger out there today.Those of you digging out Son - he's the club captain now, so I would put more faith in Ange's opinion than yours. You'll be seeing a lot of Son playing this season.
I agree with mostly everything people have said about today's game and Biss/Madders/etc but I disagree about Richi.
He wasn't bad. He didn't waste endless chances he just didn't really have that many chances, period. Brentford sat back and packed their own box, so he was always outnumbered and the players around the box didn't really get balls into him.
It was noticeable in the second half he was obviously fed up and ventured out the box to get involved in the game but he usually bumped into Son. He needs better service and we need to be able to pass between/behind players.
With Vicario though - someone on here (can't remember who) was bang on when they said Vicario is trained to punch rather than catch but he didn't really do it with authority. Also I can't see the idea when we played out of the back. We just seemed to invite pressure on ourselves and we were lucky if we retained possession. I think we need to sort that. Vicario also seemed very nervous which I hope he will settle.

Sorry Mick, Nothing against Sanchez. If you rate him, Great. My preconceived ideas were formulated over the past 4 years. Now he has 1 game in which he is average, you believe he is good enough.
Do you want to win a league? Do you really believe Sanchez will help us win a trophy? I suppose like many, your answer will be in the line of, "Conté's boring football limited Sanchez as a player, he fits in with Ange better. Bullshit, he is not good enough, period.
I agree with this. I am not saying he is good enough. I am saying he is okay as a 4th or 5th CB.
Not that bad from us today. We were aggressive on defense and moved the ball well. These guys are just getting to know each other, and will get better. I think, however, that Son should come off the bench in the second half. He would not have to conserve energy, could just turn on whatever speed he has left and get up the pitch. Don't know how that affects the captaincy.
