Really? Because we finished last season in awful awful form. Then we gave the manager another season when it looked like the players had stopped playing for him. I feared a relegation battle based on how chronic we were at the end of last season.

Did you truly think it was going to be as bad as it has been?

I agree that we had signs for much of the latter part of last season,but many on here thought the Solanke signing would make a big difference.
 
Wow, 12 hours now since Leicester scored in the league, what muppets let them in when they’re this bad?!



…..oh.

…and twice as well.

Wonderful.
 
More maverick players, different patterns in games, players scored more worldies. Every goal is one of a range of goals people score. I think Cunha is the only prem player I’ve seen score unpredictable goals this year

Maverick players were always rare, that’s why they were called mavericks.

If by worldies you mean players whacking the ball hopefully from distance, they aren’t my favourite goals, or a demonstration of skill, literally anyone scored those not just mavericks.

The mavericks haven’t disappeared, it’s just that the general technical standard has vastly improved and players who would once be considered unicorn mavericks aren’t so much anymore. They have less of an advantage technically.

Even back in the day the Darren Huckerby’s and David Ginola’s weren’t coveted by the very best, they were sideshow Bob’s at also rans.

The lad clearly likes to party a bit too much but he is undeniable quality and is wasted at City given how robotic their system is. A player like Grealish needs a bit of freedom to roam.

Hopefully the rumours of him being for sale in the summer are true and we get to see him in a different environment.
Think we missed a trick not landing him (if rumours are true, we missed out because we tried to lowball Villa).
