I like him a lot myself but when needs must.

Get in. Both City's goals v us were defelcted so it should've been a draw.

How about 1 defeat and 9 wins ? Hey we could lose the "must win".

Now he has

Most certainly did.

How many of that 5 will be there come September ?

I'm not so sure. All round game, Isak, build your game round, Isak, most goals game for game, Isak (though this could be closer). Old style CF hold up play, Wilson, putting away that one chance that comes your way, Wilson.

The impressing is also done on tge training pitch.

It's an area where Wilson bests Isak.

Will there be a "State of the United" address?

I think by buying success he means blowing everyone else out the water like Chelsea and Man City did.

Yeah really. A must win game is do or die, not it makes something more or less likely.

I'm not sure but I am sure he'll have been closely monitored and will have the close season here before any decision is made

A lot of the reason for that was last season we made the 2nd most amount of subs and most were in the forward 6 positions. This season we can't and that impacts on both sides of our play.

Similarly bring a RW/FWD with the proceeds of selling Miggy and Murphy with Minteh coming in as the other body.

Depends on the odds and that would depend on what other bets the bookie has taken, NOT what he thinks the likelihood is.

It's not a must win at all. If we win do we win a title ? If we lose are we relegated ?

Drawing pins or lego surely ? Needles would lie flat so wouldn't really hurt.

I wonder if there's been some arm twisting. "Go along with this or we fuck off to the ESL and leave you like the Eredivise" type thing.

You don't get mitigating factors ? I wasn't expecting the worst set of long term injuries etc since I've been going (1974), if I'd known that I'd have altered my expectations. As it is you predict a kind of average, you know everyone won't be 100% fit every game, some will miss few, you may get one or two long termers but this season has been mad for it.

Providing it didn't affect them adversely, which it could actually benefit them, I wonder what the reaction would be then?

He's a bit like Miley, the on the ball stuff is very good, the off the ball stuff (which is most of the game) needs a lot if work both in and out of possession.

I'm not so sure, other clubs fans picked up on it when the "need to sell to buy" bit was mentioned the other week........even from Everton fans !!!. Don't want sympathy but need to win the argument, especially with a possible "independent watchdog" coming in.

I'd like the club to come out in public with something along the lines of "We want to invest without loading debt on the club but we aren't allowed to, we cant use sponsors like others have used to achieve their positions, a rule that was strengthened mid season seemingly just for us. We've seen how the coefficient system with UEFA has clubs awarded prize money not in accordance with their achievements......how is this fair ?"

It's not Eddie that spends it. He has a say, as does all the management group, the owners, Nickson, next sporting director etc
