At least Murphy’s done nothing

sorry, in-joke

Every game

These are rubbish. If we can’t beat them questions need to be asked and heads need to roll.

The majority of the pre match thread I reckon.

Dunno mate, can’t hear yours.

What’s this system where Tino goes infield?

Nervous about this. Need a couple of early goals.

Why is anyone surprised? Think Rodri would be kept on the bench by Longstaff.

Why is Paul Merson that’s all you need.

Too early. Lots of moving parts etc.

Judge the team sheet once the season is over mate

Just noticed that nice little 2nd place up for grabs if we win here.

I'm fairly certain Longstaff will start

I mean, that's good. I'd rather nobody was concerned about it at all. I'm sure it'll all work out anyway.

That's why I only find it slightly concerning

I dunno like, we had a shit transfer window which both Howe and Mitchell said was disappointing. You'd think there would be a quick debriefing? I'd understand that them not meeting would be normal if there weren't so many questions around the window....

I do find it slightly concerning that they've had no contact though. Seems a little bit weird to me.

Sadly this is true. We may as well just pay him off now and save the physio time.

I thought Grealish played really well on the left when he moved too though. Loved how fluid a lot of our players were in the last 20 minutes (obviously easier to do against this level of opposition). Seemed to be far more technical players on the pitch than usual, all of whom have the ability to keep the ball. Very impressed with Rico Lewis. That LB spot is his to keep for me.

Trent’s played well this half without defending to do

Fucking oof, stop that one

Bruce?

Yep, can’t stand him. Get Tino on.
