Without Schar, we lose that game and not just cause he scored. On a few occasions, he would just ping it cross field to Barnes and we would be on the front foot.

@Alan Pardew this sound familiar?

Agree. Hall still gives it away too easily in my opinion and fell on his backside twice getting turned by their attacker. I have faith that Tino will come good when Tonali and Barnes/Gordon are in front of him.

10 points and unbeaten. Howe?

Now would be a good time to bring on Osula to stretch their tired defence.

Riding our luck this season.

Wolves are always our bogey team.

Poor team selection. Hard to defend Howe on this instance.

Exactly. I knew someone would mention his assist. Assist aside, he was shocking.

Longstaff I get but Murphy over Barnes?!

Yea, think they got a bit paed off.

Well played Kane.

Good discussion 👍

Want to elaborate?

Bruno F literally carried that team last year. When he played, he dominated matches with big performances including against us towards the end of last season. If you put a vote on a neutral forum on who is the better player, unfortunately I think he would win the vote. Bruno G makes us tick in a similar way but he can get caught on the ball which results in a counter attack from a dangerous position. Everything else he does, I wouldn't change a thing. If he carries on the way he is going, he will move further up that list for sure.

I've looked at the list. Apart from Szob, I wouldn't disagree too much with the ones above Bruno G.

I am thinking he might be better playing more advanced than Bruno.

Based on what? The team he played for previously? He's a step up on both players, fitness wise is a concern for sure.

Loved the way he could kill the ball with his touch. Fuck Bruce man. At least Pardew played him.

They have had a tough start of course but I think they will be okay. Just not playing Casemiro will be a positive for them and I think Ugarte will actually be decent for them. Next few games, they need to be picking up points for sure.

Developing into an Aaron Hughes type of player filling in at CB and RB. Nothing special on the ball but works hard and doesn't let the team down.

The Paul Mitchell effect... Too early?

At least 0.85 I'd imagine, probably higher.

We need it.
