Straight out of the Michael Owen school.of thought " there's contact so he has every right to go down". Its bullshit BTW. There has to be enough contact to send him down......and there wasn't

Great work from Barnes, wasn't easy and a lovely original ball in from Murphy

For someone so good on the ball he doesnt seem to be able to just drill it does he ? (Bruno).

Someone looks after these things ? Well bugger me !!

5 at the back (or 3 depending on how you want to see it) could be the best way to get the best from Nick when Wissa is fit.

Exackerly !

Its not Burn thats the issue for me (given Hall may not be able to even do an hour right now or may be risky) but Joelinton.

Its not just those poitions. Nick isn't a 9 so we've basically played without one (It would be my prime position to strengthen) so far, add it together with limited time on the training pitch and it mounts up. Im confident it will come.

Others will be out but its positions we are weakest (depth) that we've been hit. If Gordon or Joelinton or Botman are out for a few weeks we'd cover easier.

2 isn't it ? Maybe 3.

Alternatively as it stands we are 6 points off 6th/7th ish and yet to be able to play a first choice XI. It'll come.

They seem to need to leverage when jumping a lot more than others.

Clearly accidental according to the commentator

Also opens options to play 3 at the back if we thought beat on a game by game basis.

Dan Burn's England.

I know and it stinks. Plus its already geared towards certain clubs being in as long as possible, that was the whole point of tge reformatting.

Could have Burn, Gordon, Tino and Hall for one of the other international teams

Has it got tassles on ? Nope ? Then its nowhere near the worst

I really havent seen it that way. Once or twice but more often than not Im thinking a standard 9 would be in "better" positiins more often.

Alternatively Man City V Real Madrid in the first round. Big gun out straight away and less money to be able to dominate with. I fear the horse has bolted. fwiw I would have at least the top 5 English divisions all joining the FA Cup at the same stage.

Leazers Terrace ?

Any chance of sharing more for those not on Twatter.

I walked through the Bigg Market at half 7 last night on my way up to SJP, after the Bilbao fans had went up. Keeping in mind how many had been around The Beehive/Vault area on the street drinking etc....... you'd never have known. No empty cans or bottles or fast food crap lying around. Seems like they tidied as they went. Top crack !

Maybe because his game isn't about getting into those positions. He doesnt play off the centre halfs shoulders and hes a bit static when in the box against a low block.

I think it's because most defenders know he wants to cut in so show him a massive outside.
