Without getting into an argument then, hand on heart I believe Radz and his ownership model has a ceiling at this level of absolute lower mid table.

Problem with Harrison since he arrived though is it isn't just hot and cold, it can be hot or freezing.
He generally goes through 2 or 3 good games then 5-10 absolute crap with very little In between.
Don't like Struijk at left winger back or left back, not his fault and does his best but our attitude to that area of the pitch is very odd.
U21 team doesn't even have a left back.
Jack is an interesting case, he recognises his weakness too as he has already said he spends time with a psychologist. When he acts instinctively he is amazing but once he gets that ear worm and has time to ponder it goes wrong. I think Jesses vertical high octane system suits him but he just had one of those nights.Cjay wrote: ↑Tue Aug 30, 2022 9:19 pm Wide men do tbf as you say.

I'm sure the 49ers will have more ambition than finishing 17th.Cjay wrote: ↑Tue Aug 30, 2022 9:23 pm Without getting into an argument then, hand on heart I believe Radz and his ownership model has a ceiling at this level of absolute lower mid table.
Maybe as high as 11-12th occasionally but not top half.
Effectively a Southampton or a Palace which he is on record as saying he is happy with.
He is also on record as saying 49ers ownership would be similar.
Would you be happy with that ?

Harrison wasn’t perfect tonight but Everton saw him correctly as the main threat and doubled up on him all evening. Most of what we got in the box came from him. The fact there was no one there on many occasions when he looked to cross is of more consequence. The lack of energy was scary tonight, but not from Jack.
No ones asking for £300m though. If he can't put in £10m to help us loan a striker for the season, then he should sell up asap.Irish Ian wrote: ↑Tue Aug 30, 2022 9:36 pm Good question.
I know that Radz hasn't the resources to get us any higher than mid table in the long term He is one of the poorest owners in the Prem. Look at the hundreds of millions regularly squandered every season in this league. For nothing. At nest a couple of positions in the league. The Wolves owners went on record asking what was the point of them spending another £300m for a couple of league places. That is just realism.
So I would be happy in the sense that seeing us consolidate as a regular Prem club.
He can not know what the 49ers ownership will bring. Nor can you or I we can only guess and I know you have concerns about their motives.
I hope it brings something more than what we have now. A vision and the wherewithall to see us fighting for top 8 each season.
But I cant change where we are now so I decide to enjoy what is essentially a passtime. I am happy now. I enjoyed the game tonight free from all the angst we experienced season on season in the Championship with every loss feeling like it was the end of the world.
But I would like a rich owner to come along and help us get back to the glory days
I'd change "this club" to "his asset". He has made sure the value of his asset has rocketed. And that's good business.andrewjohnsmith wrote: ↑Tue Aug 30, 2022 9:04 pm Delusional thinking that our owner is greedy. He's worked wonders with this club.
That wasn't my point.
I'm not knocking Struijk, I just don't want him used there.Boo Radley wrote: ↑Tue Aug 30, 2022 9:39 pm Harrison wasn’t perfect tonight but Everton saw him correctly as the main threat and doubled up on him all evening.

I thought Struijk had a fine game. He’s being asked to play a role he was never intended to play. His tackling and distribution were better than many others tonight.
Who are the bottom clubs Mountain, just asking.....Mountain wrote: ↑Tue Aug 30, 2022 9:39 pm I'd change "this club" to "his asset". He has made sure the value of his asset has rocketed. And that's good business.
As for the game, it was a good chance to put distance between us and the bottom clubs. Didn't take it, could have gone either way. Just as I didn't rush to judgement that everything was great after Chelsea, I'm not going to get too upset after the 2 performances since. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Meslier and Lorent need lessons on kicking a ball because they are absolutely garbage . Llorent is an accident waiting to happen and meslier isn't far behind.
We played much better 2nd half but lack that cutting edge. Couldn't understand why Sinisterra was subbed unless he's not up to full fitness but Paddy added a threat when he came on. Once again James did fookall of any note except run himself into a brick wall of defenders but I suppose now Rodders is out for a bit he'll be hanging around unfortunately otherwise f**k him off and get what we can for him.
Overall a point is better than none but we really should be beating a depleted Everton so all I can see is a bottom half mega struggle again this season.

Did you miss that killer cross he put in for Rodrigo? The one Rodrigo should have buried. He had several bad moments in the game, but to say he's freezing cold would say he did nothing right. That cross for Rodrigo was Beckham-esqueCjay wrote: ↑Tue Aug 30, 2022 9:19 pm Wide men do tbf as you say.
