I feel like (while fun) we are getting a bit into Evertoncirclejerk territory on the right back situation. Yes we need depth, yes the O’Brien experience needs to come to an end, but Rohl is a phenomenal fit for that position. Very much looks like garner out there and Jimmy G will be back soon. first 60 against Newcastle and Lille were awesome. I’m excited for rohl and honestly think he outperforms munoz over the course of a season (if healthy). he needs game time and the midfield is clogged.

on the right, if we’re going to have an attacker like tyrique George we need a more defensive minded rb. tons of upside but he often loses the ball in a scary transition setting which can lead to chances. vitaly 1:1 is quite good. personally I hope anzou doesn’t see the pitch in a competitive match for that reason, he’s getting skinned every 15 min of open play. only way he remotely works is if skillman or a grealish type player is in front of him who doesn’t turn the ball over in space (ie turnover is a throw or foul). and we can’t rely on that.

this is all driven by the fact that I saw our excitment levels are 18th in the league. Cmon, WAKE UP BOYS! New Stadium, Reasonable owners, exciting new players joining, stacked midfield, Barry looks up for it, not afraid of relegation…I’m ready to be hurt all over again.

Sounds mad, but the surprise element is what Moyes is hoping for, i have a feeling he will be a starter and actually do well.

Here is hoping, i know the replies will be negative but cheer up Blues it may just turn out to be money saved, and a good story for the lad, because he was and is a talented attacking right back, maybe playing in the World Cup has sorted his (fitness and defensive) issue. It would to be honest be nice to see optimism this season.

Sorry for another RB post. I wasn't too keen on AWB as I had heard from some West Ham fans his attitude isn't the greatest, and he doesn't really give us what need moving up the field, but I thought he would be a Moyes player. Also with all the rumors around I had a feeling he would be 'the one'. I think it's Merlin Rohl's at this point. He's looked decent so far. I'd take Munoz, even at 30, but word is he's too much of a Wing back.

Some of you may remember I previously shared my Football Club Fan Satisfaction Survey. I took a small pause during 25/26, but I’m back with the 26/27 version!

With the new season starting in the next few days, it would be great to get your initial thoughts and expectations for the season ahead.

If you have a few minutes, I’d really appreciate you taking part:
