Any thoughts of who you would want to bring in for next season? Lookman from Fulham would be nice. He's worked with Ralph before.

Reckon we need five positions filled. GK, LB, back up FB, CM, wide attacker.

GK: Timo Horn of Cologne. Masip at Valladolid. Rulli is second choice at Villarreal and is a very good keeper but doubt we could draw him.

LB: Enda Stevens, Jetro Willems, maybe Diego Rico if Bournemouth don’t go up would all be reasonably priced and an improvement.

Full back: Djibril Sidibe of Monaco, Tavernier, but probably someone of a much lower calibre, or no one at all.

CM: Would love Harry Winks, maybe Sander Berge? Or both.

Attacker: Lookman would be good. Pereyra/ Ünder. Keep Minamino somehow?

If one of these names came in I’d be happy for us to actually do decent recruitment, but can’t see our total outlay being over £30m if Ings stays. Two defenders and a centre mid are absolutely pivotal, as well as another attacker with Walcott and Minamino leaving.

I know finances are tight currently, but this season has shown we have to invest in the squad. Hopefully the club will see a big investment today will reap rewards later.

So we survive to fight another year 👍👍
Thank god we all won't have a nail biting end to the season.
Let's see some youth in the team and relegate Redmond, Djenepo to the bench!

A nice tribute letter to the fans from Berty recognising the timing is exactly right before the pendulum swings in the opposite direction. Good luck in the future Ryan and thanks. It’s noted that any plaudits to Ralph were omitted—HMM! It would be fitting if Theo followed suit! It’s pleasing that several posts suggesting more Young Players be given opportunities seems to have filtered through to headquarters-what a coincidence! I’m sure with the right recruitment this could be a change in fortunes for SFC.

I feel that Ralph needs to go unbeaten for the rest of the season or we should look for a new manager. What happened to the fight in the team? We were top at one point in the season and then he started playing players out of position and backwards passsing and now we are only surviving because the bottom 3 are so bad.

Following his ‘man of the match’ rated performance v Leicester I was very surprised to see Salisu dropped v Liverpool when his speed would have been a great asset to combat mane and Salah in place of Bednarek if Jack Stephens was due a game. Considering young Salisu is canvassed as a potential prodigy for next season and more game time is invaluable. what’s. going on? No injury reported - another Ralph mystery? ( perhaps he’s hiding him from Klopp) !,

Totally agree we need to sign not one but two goalkeepers also without Ings we lack finishing at the top level. how many times do we hear that we have played well and yet can't even get a point, Liverpool were not that great tonight but still good enough to beat us, where do we go from here? Is Ralph still the answer or just part of the problem.
