To be fair, Football Manager isn’t really a video game. It’s a computer game.

I don’t think Jo offers much of anything at the moment. He’s lost his physical edge that made him so good in midfield. He’ll just be fouling defenders constantly most likely.

Some of the players aren’t up to speed yet on what is expected of them in this system. There’s a lack of technical ability which is affecting us because you need quick thinking, control and passing to play the type of football Jaissle wants.

We have signed potential and he’s being judged on instant results which unfortunately is never going to measure up. Fans need more patience. But it’s not really something that exists in modern football.

None of our strikers are scoring anyway. I think the point on Jo is he’d actually be able to hold onto the ball.

Yep. People are mad impatient and never learn. He isn’t even here half a season. Just mental.

You just have to hope they have identified targets for these positions.

Me too 🤪

The top teams have always harvested the best players from other clubs.

Football generally is in the pits. Very little hope anymore. Only doom and gloom.

100%. Our ability to retain the ball up the pitch is horrific.

By the end of the season I’m willing to bet there’ll be at least 7 more in the decent to solid range.

This.

Main problem is, if we get in a better striker, is he going to get service?

Fuck all. I think he’s a terrible footballer. But he’s a good crosser.

Aimless crosses? You can just say you don’t like the guy.

In his time at Newcastle he has less goals and assists than Murphy.

At no point did I suggest Murphy was better at football. This is the stats from their last few seasons.

Last 4 seasons in the league Murphy has 22 assists and Barnes has 10.
