Him gundo and even laporte left to be replaced by inferior replacements. The dropdown from mahrez and gundo to nunes and doku is like going from a porsche to kia.

Ah memories.

Actually sometimes Mahrez was so off it he was subbed off.

Other times he scored brilliant winners and won matches.

Not too dissimilar to Doku really, who is still a "rough diamond ", to quote our lowest scoring manager

Quite hard to compare Nunes to Gundo I would concede

Do we allow haaland to come back into the side and upset the way we have been playing ?

I’m serious , I think he should not just walk into the team as we are playing some great stuff .

No player should walk back into the side after a performance like that. It helped that Brighton kept playing football but our press was bang at it last night. Shout outs to Kev, bernie, phil and julian. That was us pre Haaland and we looked right on it. Does the same work against Forest? I would say stick with that same starting 11 and we have options to change it up when there's more room and theyre tired

With other clubs setting up to stop Haaland, if we revert back to pre him, then yes I'd agree for the remaining games start him on the bench and play like we did against Brighton, he can have some cameo roles as you say.

See out the season and then whilst everyone else goes off to the Euros, Haaland should take himself off to his summer home in Marbella and go and train at the MFA and get his head straight for next season.
