We’ve been atrocious this year but still have very good players. The PL is at the level where you can have some quality players but still be at the bottom of the league if you don’t have the right structure, organisation and, most importantly of all, belief in what you’re doing as a team.
Swap Godfrey in for Mings (or for Lewis and put Ake at left back), and Fraser for Cantwell (I like Cantwell but Fraser has achieved far more at this point) and you’ve got a really good side there.
I think Cantwell is a much better player than Fraser, albeit raw. He’s also got a little bit of nastiness in him which I like. There’s a reason Liverpool are interested reportedly.
Bogle was decent in spells and a bit slap-dash at other points - the game was quite slow so difficult to judge - and Bogle wasn't pressed by Forest very much. Whipped in a few good balls and looked good going forwards albeit with the odd ball sailing over the pitch to the opposite corner flag. I think there's a player there but I wouldn't say on this showing he looked prem-ready. Maybe we'd see more in a faster game.
That’s what I’m saying so it doesn’t matter if we’re in disarray or riding high in the league and champions league. You need to pay the money. Man City were attracting players before CL and before they won anything because they put the money down. anyway there is no direct correlation between spending and winning as we know.
Yes, broke into the team at Rb, then went on loan to West Brom last season. Seems to have come back as a confident and mature defender. Says everything about what must happen with Foyth (and Tanganga) next season
