Fits a certain Alanis Morrisette song. It's like ten thousand spoons! Actually, almost twenty thousand by now, adjusted for cutlery inflation.

Ironically. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's built up frustration because they didn't allow themselves to enjoy promotion as much as they could have. You don't have to stick to your initial thoughts forever. Changing your opinion as evidence changes is sensible. Look forward to warming more to Gerrard if we can get rolling next season. A change in Assistant Manager could be the kick in the nuts that jump-starts us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that the board have brought in Gerrard to get European football. The point is that consistency and quality is key to getting European places. This team finished 14th because of lack of quality and consistency, and adding two quality players isn’t going to dramatically change that enough! - Fine by me. Don't think there's a great deal of difference there. - Those players finished higher than that last season and they're more than capable of being backup. We're not finding better players than them who are willing to sit on the bench for most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's entirely possibly we will have players like Chambers, Mcginn, Luiz, Buendia on the bench next season. That is a European strength squad.

mikeyp102 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I can see us breaking our transfer fee for another CM, no idea who though. Although I don’t think it will be Bissouma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wants out of Everton, will likely be holding out for a club in Europe and cost a wedge but just curious. I'd be thrilled, but I don't think it's realistic. Wouldn't be shocked if we get Calvert-Lewin, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the reaction on here when we signed Danny Ings, we all thought he was going to be fantastic for us, me included. 7 goals in 31 Premier League matches last season, less than 1 goal every 4 matches. He’s 29 years old, past the peak age for a footballer, he’s only going to decline. For me, he’s been a flop but I think football fans expectations generally especially of their own team’s players are too high. There’s a reason Liverpool didn’t keep him on their books and now we’re stuck with him 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still has a goal/goal assist every 146 mins. In a chop/change front line, significant bench time and first season at the club there is no way he’s been a flop. Not had a consistent run in the same position and changed systems up front he’s still got involved. He could’ve and should’ve done more but a flop, not in the slightest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If/when Villa sign a 20+ goal striker from Bundesliga or Ligue 1 the excitement will again be huge, only to fade when said striker scores 7-8 goals in his first Prem season.
