True or not BT I think Newcastle have enquired but they would wouldn’t they when they got Pope for a snip of his worth and we bent over backwards and took the medicine in a clear out.

There is a lot of mis understanding with Jimmy on here and I’m not blind to the fact he has flaws in his game but he’s a young man who will improve dramatically- the crap he gets on here is in justified with the exception of Saturday when he was at fault for their first ( it happens ).

We have so many fundamentally wrong problems in our defending and weak midfield areas that the keeper will constantly be open to barrage as we can’t stop conceding goals and as for Muric he’s also in proven at premiership level and I don’t think he commands his area any better than Jimmy - but hey that’s just me.

VK is going to have to accept that if you pile forward against good teams and create chances against them you are going to leave yourself open.

Personally I think VK has to find the happy medium in between playing as we do gung ho style , and a really tight defensive unit.

Watching Everton at City it was a Dyche masterclass in defending for long periods and it took me right back to his tenure here - 10 men behind the ball only step out if we have a corner - set piece etc but do everything possible to stop the crosses and runners beyond- something we just don’t do.
