Exactly. A career. A guy with probably 300 games experience. Not an 18 year old with 25 games

So a player can play a different position to what they’ve been taught. I agree. Lewis can play midfield.

Maybe he needs dropping to the bench and we just have Alvarez play a couple of games in his favored position and lets see how that goes.

Everyone apart from Pep then do you mean? The guy who sees him train every day.

Surely it would be easier for a kid, green, to get into another role than someone that’s played 300 games in one position?

He scored 2 at the swamp, 2 at Chelsea, and scored against the dippers. He missed a sitter against spuds, i certainly wouldn't say last nights 1 chance was a sitter.
He also got a great assist against spuds. Alvarez is in the KDB role but not assisting, not picking up his men, not tracking back..
Haaland is still on a goal a game this season even without the genius of Kev.

I'd suggest the header last night was a sitter. But he does still score lots of goals and he isn’t a robot so will make mistakes.
As an aside, last season, did we win the Treble because of Haaland or in spite of him? We didn't score any more goals than the previous season and he didn't score in the latter stages of the cups

Scored away at Bayern in the CL and lets face it, we've never won it without him.
Haaland is really starting to grate on me.carl_feedthegoat wrote:Haaland is also just as fuckign guilty for missing his easy chances...hes cost us a fair few points, over the last few games, due to his unmissable fucking misses !!

And the manager, a liability. Every other club in the world would swap with us right now.
Bet you can't wait for him to go so the next guy can improve his shit record.

If we can offload Gomez & Phillips to the smoke and Nunes to Saudi there'll be room for Paqueta, Palhinha & Barco in a few weeksMase wrote:After reflecting I don’t think we need to panic.
We’ve won every match in our group in the CL. We should have beaten Liverpool. We could have beaten Spurs.
Spurs, Liverpool, Chelsea we scored 8 goals - but our defence let us down big time. I’m not sure if it’s because we did so much last season that towards the end of games this season we’re knackered. Another tool for the Prem to use against us - adding 10 minutes extra time on.
I am worried about our transfer business. We’ve bought some awful players this summer and got rid of decent players. That needs to be rectified in January and next summer.
