A: Thomas Partey

Maybe Brentford might want him (thats our best case scenario here)

He's a good guy.

Good fucking grief.

Absolutely no point in picking him in this side. Last season we were more direct so we played to what few strengths he has, this season we take a lot more touches which highlights his limitations.

Having said that I don’t think Barry has shown much more.

Barry hardly touched the ball when he came on.

Beto was terrible like. Even his movement which is usually decent wasn’t there.

Barry is what is keeping Beto in the side.

His lack of press and inability to hold the ball up really hampers us. We’re not playing to his strengths but he’s simply not doing the basics we need of him.

I thought by now he’d have realised that he needs to be stronger and not throw himself to the floor all the time. His whinging is really frustrating. Hasn’t adapted to premier league referees in the slightest.

I like the guy, but he's had some poor games this season which is a shame. The problem is we bring on Barry and it honestly doesn't really seem like we're fixing the problem.

Arguably you play them the other way around, but Barry has to find a way to have more of a positive impact in these appearances. Another game where he didn't look like scoring or even having a shot and it just passed him by a bit.

That said, I don't think we're making it easy on either option mind you, a lot of the time they're chasing shadows. We're rarely putting it on a plate for them with any consistency.

The very best thing about beto is Barry

If maupay was still here he'd be comfortably our best striker. Chermiti is stinking the place out in Scotland. We've bought some absolute vile shite for a really significant amount in total

I've drawn a line under him. Despite his personal traits, which we're are all good, he's poor. Moyes is trying to make a silk purse out of a pigs arse and he can't cut it. Time to move him on

Should have thrown the kitchen sink at keeping dom.

100% / someone who can hold the ball up and has a first touch, where is second touch isn’t a tackle.

If we’d have got delap really would have been a huge difference. Hopefully get someone decent in Jan maybe on loan. Should be plenty of players looking for moves in World Cup year

I think he’s trying to make a pigs arse out of a corpse’s arse. I’ve been a fan of the guy despite his limitations, but enough is enough, I’d rather play with a false 9 than either of them.
