We all are mate. Seriously, get this context idea,

Fantastic debut. Imagine how we'd react if that performance had been from a more expensive splash signing.

At the moment we seem horrible to play against, niggly and a toe in here and there, just constintly disrupting, it's great. it'll be interesting to see it away and I expect Bruno to start for Willock, less pressure away from home etc.

Nah, madras 2022.

Nuance and context are often lost online.

Played well when he came on. So much so you'd almost think there was a new ethos at the club.

Pleased another team played poorly against us, so lucky!

He'll start next week. Less pressure.

I don't get that, are teams like Everton and Leeds just poorer teams when they've played us ? Maybe Villa will do the same today then ?

Writer for the Daily Hate saying he hates bullies. You can't make this shit up man

Could the brief and too late bit be rather he'd worn them down ? Shearer used to do that, in partucular against Sol Campbell a few times.

Trippier was very much a known with loads of experience of the Premier. Got to admit I'm torn........but I'd probs go the Keegan/Asprilla route.

Joelinton has just had a shiver down his spine.

Was that because Everton played a strange pass out from the back game even when we were tight, Jonjo followed his man in, in more open ay he was the central sitter, its how he got dragged out to Gordon (which was just short of a red).

I'm not even sure its the foot pace, though that would help him recover, but he doesn't read the game as a DM and that makes the difference.

Add in we aren't yet getting him regular support from midfield. If we want the best from Bruno that needs to happen (Looking at you Willock and Joelinton).

True...yet from all the NUFC players I've seen, to pick an XI, I'm not sure Cole would make the squad, let alone start.

The rate they go through managers he could be sacked before being announced as manager.

He kind of did a soft pull up in the first half off the ball. I was wondering if it was then.

Are they not being a bit wry ? Like us saying we'll get our usual 3 points at Anfield ?

I'm not sure that is the best way to play Villa in general but we aren't the best at retaining possession so we may not have much choice. Leeds had substantially more possession than Villa apparently (didn't see the game) so both teams could be set up more for counter attacking.

How about it @Neil ?

The one about the dead was as funny.

A little while back, at work we had a best XI we'd seen from our clubs that we actually witnessed. None of theirs would make our first XI. Philips maybe getting a subs role in the reserves if very generous.

Maybe back in the 70s they could get away with just beating their defender and providing assists. Wingers/wide midfielders now have to do so much more, its about possession, the build, the tracking, the blocking of channels. Just like full backs have to he so much better in possession than just someone who defends.
