It looked a poor attempt of a save to me and I know a few other people saying the same but I’m no expert on the matter. If we do go up he needs replacing with much better but that’s for another day. His distribution is so inconsistent too

whilst I'm not a massive fan I can't believe he's being slagged off for not saving a penalty!!!!!

In fairness to Messier he made that astonishing point blank save when Rodon deflected the ball goalwards a couple of yards out. As regards to binning Meslier if we go up , I think we”d have to bin 90% of the current team.

massive turnover yes. need to bring in 8 or 9. which is why most promoted teams struggle badly

I think it`s more about his overall performance(s) distribution, awareness, marshalling his back 4 etc.
Most players refer to goalkeepers as a bit eccentric and OTT ( no offence Tad)
I rarely see Meslier bol£ocking his defenders and telling them off like others I`ve seen.
But like you guys are saying with the exception of maybe 4 or 5 the rest are not PL standards and will need replacing.

Regarding the Gruev injury it looks similar to Ampadu`s although I hope I`m wrong.
Performance wise and the next 2 games, I can see us about 8th in the League after Sheff Utd`s game and possibly 8 points behind the top 2.
I`m going 2 nil Sunderland and a 3 nil Sheff Utd and btw I`ve never predicted a correct score yet.

Hope so mate although you would get good odds on us getting 6 points.
Even better odds on my predictions

Gruev needs knee surgery and will be out for months.

if not the season.

I guess they'll be looking at free agents
