    I’d like to see Magassa at this level. I think there were a few times where he looked good in the PL and plenty when he wasn’t so great but he’s young and and maybe a level down would be a good chance to let him learn.

    But I also don’t think he’s going to solve problems for us. Not sure he’s got that much defensive discipline and think he was best when pressing higher.

    I am surprised Soucek hasn’t started yet since his game against QPR - was our main CM last season in our 4-4-2 with Fernandes

    It's a defence thing as 6 goals at home in two matches tells us.

    It's looking at present like a disjointed window in that we have too many attack minded midfielders and lack a solid DM, we also didn't replace Disasi and hoped Kilman could cut it in the Championship.

    We rightly got excited when we were scoring all those goals at the start as it showed we had done good attacking transfer business, but now we find the neglect of the defence is biting us. It will get corrected in the winter window I have no doubt, we just need to make sure we are in the fight at that point.

    There are 2 players that one featured on the bench this weekend and one vanished and not to be seen, they are defensive midfielders, but not chosen to join In, whoever the blame lies with, they could fill a gap IMO 👍🏻⚒️

    West Ham women 4 vs 1 Liverpool women.

    Great result.

    Shame we haven't got someone who could sit in front of the back four to break up play. Sorry I am repeating myself again there.

    Didn't see the game yesterday (a 60th birthday to attend) but watched the highlights today. The ease with which WBA scored their first goal would embarrass a Sunday pub team's defence, let alone a professional team with many international players, absolutely shocking.
    Yeah, it was truly shocking, I'm not sure who was most at fault. Mukasa is the player that tries to close down the player who played the through ball, but he had been marking someone else and I think it was KWP's player that came short to receive the ball and KWP didn't follow him and allowed him all the time in the world to pick his pass.

    Then the ball just takes out both Kilman and Morato, which really shouldn't happen, and you've got to criticise Golembeckis as well for letting his man get goalside of him far too easily.
    If you just watch KWP every game, his defensive positioning & decision-making is horrendous, even if he seems to not do anything obviously bad in the game. Really does weaken our defending as a unit.

    I commented about Engels and how poor I think he was / has been for most games, I’m not alone.

    It mentions players that 1 or 2 sometimes don’t even make the squad,
