judge us at the end of the transfer window – not now

6.5/10

 

[trueblue84]

New defence.
New midfield.
Poor attack.

100% rebuild and stability IMO. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Lost richarlison and haven't replaced him. That can't be ignored.

 

[johntmorgan67]

Defence and midfield better than we had, forwards weaker 6/10

3/10

If you sell your best player who kept you up last season, then the window has to be judged on how you replace him.

That's been a massive failure.


We better hope that players like Gordon and Gray chip in with 6 or 7 goals apiece or this season will be a disaster.

And dont believe the striker situation will be sorted out in January. That isn't going to happen. This is it until May 2023.

5/10, we look on paper more solid at the back even though we've still looked dodgy at times this season, brought bodies in in an attacking sense but haven't strengthened up front.

 

[Furey1878]

If DCL stays fit for the rest of the season then they've really got away with it.

It's a strange one as I'm happy with pretty much all of our signings but the failure to get an actual alternative striker to DCL could really, really leave us struggling.

Just praying DCL stays fit and Gordon, Gray and Maupay give us enough goals on top.

 

[Mozza1987]

It's a weird one. We look massively better at the back and in the centre of midfield but to not bring another attack in maybe even two is baffling. Don't think we will ship many goals and we will be hard to beat but the lack of goals is a huge concern. Can't see where they're all coming from.

 

[fandjango]

I’m worried Dom will come back mentally and physically weaker not convinced he’s going to be the player we thought he would be my

There’s absolutely no reason to believe that

Has DCL been auto corrected?

Looks like Lampard is hoping we can spread goals around the team mate, I'm sure I've heard that before though.

 

[davek]

Opening five games without improving the attack = no wins, 3 points and 4 goals.

We're still in that position for the rest of this season.

Do the maths - we are in major trouble here.

8/10

Had we signed a goal scoring wide player would have been a 9/10

All the flapping over a CF when Lewin is back soon. Yes its a gamble if he'll stay fit but its a gamble the club unfortunately have to take with our FFP situation.

Maupay as a 2nd striker for £15 millions was shrewd business.
