GOALSCORER REQUIRED !! 

At this stage we should be looking to keep Barnes if funds allow

[Noahfence]

Piroe is desperately needed 

[Benji]

This trialist “joke”/chat becoming pretty tedious.

Please can someone photoshop Maresca into this photo!? (and do a good job!)

 

It should be THE call out for him this season!

 

I want opposition fans screaming "he can't keep getting away with it!"

[Stopharage]

We’re playing with a lot more width in this half. Albrighton and Daka are often hugging the sidelines. You can imagine doing that with Winks orchestrating the attacks that it would be really fruitful. 

[Lambert09]

daka needs confidence. that just won’t come while he’s 3rd choice 

[StanSP]

That Daka control was like mine at 5-a-side

 

[Shaqq]

If we’re playing this system we really have a job to do in the market. Loads of players that can play at the back, but not enough going forward. 
I cannot see us having the luxury of keeping Thomas, Kristensen, Doyle, Vestergaard, Coady, Souttar, Faes, Nelson, Justin and Pereira all competing for four positions!

[Finnegan]

The amount of round pegs in square holes atm

Turns out we've had a Mahrez replacement playing CDM for the last few years

Nobody tell the Algerians.

[oadby.fox]

Daka just isn’t going to be good enough is he? 

[Mark]

We need to sell one of these forwards they’re all central and now we’ve got another manager playing Daka out wide 😬

[ithuriel]

Nacho n Daka really are not the strike force to fill the opposition with fear

He would make a massive difference to this team ..  but ain’t gonna happen .. 

[Fox85]

Daka cannot play out wide needs to be central...

 

 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

There not as good as the first half players.....up front aren't a threat

[whoareyaaa]

Nididi is back wooah wwooah

[StriderHiryu]

Ndidi is unironically our best attacking outlet this half. And it's actually working

Dakas control is like a baby elephant.

 

Also, the Northampton GK wouldn’t look out of place in the film Superbad. 

[LinekersLugs]

It’s pre-season it’s a training match and it’s not too bad 

 

Ndidi looks like a winger 😂😂😂

Also unironically, he seems to be the quickest and most athletic player on the pitch 

[An Sionnach]

Played much more directly this half and hence Northampton are struggling.

New system new players ..  I’m not even sure the pegs know what they are never mind the holes .. 

[whoareyaaa]

hes on fire

[FoxesWalk]

You have to wonder if Kristiansen is going to get enough football to keep him happy playing this system…
