Targett was playing centre mid

Yep, 100%

That’s exactly what we needed ?

I’m not even fussed, it’s gonna be hilarious watching it

Ritchie has shed loads of experience, you’re right. But he’s also experienced in being a bit shite. What role are we expecting him to perform?

We playing 5-5-0? Might work actually

Schar balances it out, he’s that good

Or beat us 7-0, with Willock going off after 12 minutes

It’s the worst team we’ve put out since the championship tbf

Is Pardew back picking those fullbacks like?

Miley is not far off starting full training again apparently.

We were never getting him. Not a chance. You may as well say we should have signed Messi 3 years ago.

The owners (as you see them) aren’t running the club. Just enjoy it.

It isn’t. It’s true.

I genuinely don’t. I just want to win everything

Terminate him imo

HTT levels of commitment to this. Is he mexican enough though?

He's Salah's replacement at Liverpool. Nailed on. Liverpool will make a profit on it too.

1-1 Bruno sees red after 24 minutes.

AG, but we’re kinda short on the left now too.

And maybe he will. We just don't know. But it's a bit different to this: "I hope to god we're not paying him a penny during this period"

They should terminate him, immediately

I think you're slightly missing the bigger picture, but of course I can understand how some people have a differing opinion on this. I guess as I'm getting older I start to care more about people's wellbeing, as well as taking into account the long term investment we've made as a club. The lad has made a massive mistake, hopefully he'll be able to get help for his addiction and turn things around. I certainly don't think we as a club have a duty to make him suffer any more than he already is. I'm sure a lot of people would love to sit back and get 10 months free pay whilst not being able to work, but I'm not certain peak footballers have that same mindset. He's got a lot of rebuilding to do now, both for club and country. He'll hardly be sat back rubbing his hands together purely because he's still getting paid. On an aside, footballers are massively different to the majority of other occupations in many aspects of life. You must be able to see that, right?

Erm, yeah?

That's a fair point Won't somebody please think of the kids?
