Strange that neither Reed nor Anguissa were in the lineup. Nice to see young guys but Francois gave nothing. Dominated the entire game so really crushing to give away points.
yeah he's very good definitely one of our best players last year before he caught malaria on one of the international breaks, then he was subpar the rest of the year. The previous year when we were in The Championship he went on loan to Villareal and played great for them in La Liga. Got our hopes up that he was going to stay this year, but when he wasn't in the lineup last weekend it was pretty telling. Listening to the Fulhamish podcast this week they said he has been fairly vocal about not playing below top flight football, hence the loan two years ago and likely transfer this year. Original thought was another loan but word is Silva is put out with him for not wanting to stay and fight for promotion so it's probably going to be a permanent move for him.
Yea he could easily play ahead of Mcginn would be a great Villa MF rotation with Luiz-Nakamba and then Zambo-Mcginn
Losing Wilson for 3 games would be rough, but gotta think that gets reversed on review and still get the 3 today
Emphatic win Just need to get Wilson’s red overturned. Looking forward to Reed getting healthy and in the lineup then we should run this league
Should have scored at least a couple more. I don't know how Cav missed that breakaway just before the half. Fluke goal to give up late Excited to see what happens when we get Muniz and Reed in the lineup. Will be a fun year to watch
Really expected to see Reed this weekend so this is a disappointment. Not sure why he even addresses Cairney
so is Anguissa really staying? That feels unfair to the rest of the Championship but have seen that Fulham want £25m and thats tough in this market, this late. also looks like held off Southampton from getting Tosin. but there still needs to be a Tim Ream replacement.
Fanbase seems to be pretty unanimously excited. If nothing else, it gives us another option up top if Mitro goes cold. With all the talent we’ve been able to get and hold, anything but auto promotion would be a let down. Still would love to see another CB.
Listening to the Fulhamish podcast today they said it’s still very likely Anguissa and maybe Seri (if he keeps his stellar form from the last couple of matches) will go before the window closes in a couple of weeks. Even at 33 Ream is an excellent Championship CB but agree that we need PL caliber players at as many positions as possible so that if we go back up there’s continuity and not such a need for an overhaul. I’m still holding out hope that Kongolo can get healthy and come into his own, but we probably still need another CB in the winter window. Hector and Ream have no place even on the bench of a PL side so might as well replace them now
Classic Mitro is back! unfortunately our razor thin D is going to be tested now. I think Mawson is a good player, he just can never stay healthy
And Robinson w the assist! maybe shut up some of the Fulham fans. need to sign Fab now. What happened to Tete? I missed it. Bdc for tete is an odd sub
seemed like he pulled something on a forward run Bobby played RB once or twice last year but I’m still surprised Marco didn’t put Bryan there
Angola didn’t qualify for AFCON so at least we won’t lose him for a bit in January. Wonder though if he’ll have to wait 10 days to reenter the UK, which is why #Liverpool won’t let Salah play in Egypt-Angola
