Think you're underestimating the situation a bit
saying he's only missing 3 starters. we're playing 3 games a week and it's taking a massive toll on their energy levels. if we had all our players available son, Solanke, kulu wouldnt be getting run into the ground for starters.

dropped points away in glasgow partly because we cant keep playing solanke, if Richie was fit it would be different.
Bissouma's form dropped off a cliff but without Bentancur he cant be replaced or challenged. 'Having to play davies so much cause there's no one else brings a long term injury, Brennan johnson has had it easy with the option to replace with no Oderbert or Moore and he's dropped of a cliff too, there's no one on the bench to push people, it all has a massive knock on effect leading to patchy form
how often have had to bring on Timo werner to try and change things when it's going against us? im sure we'd be on a lot more points if we were bringing on Bentancur, Odobert, and Richarlison

I don't doubt for one second there's an impact - but is this brand new information that we might play 69 games this year? And needed a squad to match that? And instead just signed kids?

Show of hands - who thought we might be fucked at CB this year? Who really thought Richie was going to play large chunks of the season?

This bluffer is saying he doesn't want a bigger squad, or more CBs. He's now saying Spence hasn't had time because of our depth at full back - when we all know we have NO depth anywhere, especially at full back.

The bigger teams are playing pretty much full teams in two competitions, league and champion's league with little rotation. And the sit far higher up the table than we do, and have said a fair share of injuries too. Quietly getting on with it.

yeah ok now you're massively underestimating Levy, or just massively naive and blaming the "bluffer" , guess you thought Mauricio "The Bluffer" Pochettino was also happy when we signed no one for 18 months? I mean he said so himself he was happy with the squad didnt he, those quotes are there.
Or Jose was thrilled when we signed Rodon, and Gedson and Vincis on loan?

not everyone is like Conte, most managers value their jobs and dont want to piss off their boss

Obviously Ange doesn't directly sign the players, and the overall fault and issue with everything wrong at the club IS Levy.

I'm my own boss now, but when I worked for people I would hold them accountable and say when I wasn't happy.

The big teams you're talking about are struggling too bar Liverpool who are starting to show some fatigue as well.

Around 55.7 % actually

When we win, I prefer to celebrate and not waste time trying to gain some petty, childish one-upmanship over fellow supporters on some football forum.

Great win last night BTW. Awesome support from the fans too

Noticing that you've posted after a hiatus doesn't exactly require much effort..especially as you intentionally posted your initial post to make that point.

Out of curiosity...ill ask you the same question ive asked Richard Arlison Richard Arlison

Last game I went to was Ipswich last month, think I'm genuinely a curse, been to the new stadium about 10 times and I've seen us lose 5 of them!

This is fun though, feels like I'm in a courtroom.

I don’t know what to make of this year.

If we added a couple of players in January/had a favourable injury list and rattled off wins to push us to challenge for a top 4 spot I wouldn’t be surprised.

Conversely, if they injuries continue, we keep going with the yo-yo results I could see us stuck mid table with a stack of disappointing result with the occasional battering handed out (like the first half of the year).

Both results feel equally feasible.

I agree with you and that's why Ange's "Big Top" has got to change. He creates a whole new meaning to the title "Ring Master" Either he reviews his approach to games, unlikely, or he goes asap imo.

What does that mean?

City aren't comfortably ahead of anyone. Arsneal just drew 0-0 at home to fucking Everton.

Chelsea are playing actual Fatmers on Thursday nights and can fully rotate.

I'm sorry, do we have the same amount of points as them? Or are they comfortably ahead of us in the table?

We've played our fair share of shit teams in Europa too. And let's not forget we went out to farmers just a couple of years ago.

Not sure what your last point has to do with anything.

Points tally at this stage of the season is low. All teams are struggling and seemingly anyone could drop points to almost anyone.

Not sure why this offends you so much.

I'm not offended, just saying injuries happen. And there seems to be the over-reliance on our injury list being the cause and excuse for our shitness this year when, lets face it, we've had 80-90% of our first choice 11 fit and playing in many defeats this year.

The last line is there because you just dismissed the challenge and impact to Chelsea in a competition we've struggled in before.
 
Yesterday win in great fashion and avoiding banana skin should buy him I guess quiet time with fanbase till end of year. Mentioning fanbase only, cause seems according to all media club hierarchy is behind him. Lets see what will be the mood after wolves and forest.

On one hand he gets he gets blamed for signing kids, on the other hand he gets blamed for not developing players. The guy cannot win
