CPL

Everytime this thread gets bumped, I suspect there has been a delay in his return.

How many subs are allowed? Can Tino still get on?

Lovely ball by Gordon!

Hope Tino or Lewis get on for their first cap this half. Then we can field 4 England internationals in our team. Don't think we will have had that since the 90s and maybe even before that.

Just switched on. How's Gordon been?

Same! We were bare to the bones tbf. Never seen an injury crisis like it.

Notice they don't show images of Paul Mitchell during the game now that we are winning. It doesn't fit their narrative I suppose.

Think I still have visions of Overmars running rings around him.

It helps having a decent winger in front of you.

Good point

This.

Right backs can cover left backs but why is it rare to see it the other way around? Is Matt Targett's only position LB?

Nope it's the next next international break.

It happened similar to last year, when after the opening day win, we had a bad spell before he came back into the team and our results started to change.

Love it when he drops deep and Willock is bombing on to create the space for him. There is a reason why he plays better when Willockinho plays. Still think the turning point of last season was when he went off injured against Dortmund at home. Whilst he is in the team, we have a chance against anyone.

Joelinton Gordon Hall next in the redemption arc. Player of the season so far for sure.

What's his position map on FM look like? Love how he can literally play anywhere and do a job... well apart from up front.

Must be up there with one of the strongest players in the league. When he backs into you, there is no way round.

He just gives us that balance! If we keep winning, he has to keep starting over Tonali especially with performances like that.

Burn gets booked as well from the resulting counter attack to rub salt in the wound.

The only time you want Longstaff to go down and he doesn't.

Why was there no review on the Willock challenge? I actually felt not enough of our own players appealed enough when it happened.

How is that not a foul ffs?

I guess the last bit is true.
