I imagine a deal will be reached, Joelinton is essential to how we play and I cant see any other team shelling out for him as he does have his limitations. I think he is just as important to us and we are to him.

Depends on your critieria I guess, in terms of tactics in both set up and how he adapts I think Howe has been done a few times by managers many consider worse than him.

I dont think anyone should feel ungrateful, but a 9th spot finish is quite poor considering Man United are in ruins, Spurs sold their best player and didnt replace him. Chelsea also in ruins. Wolves are ahead of us and their manager quit the day before the season and many had them tipped to drop.

For me I think the field is so good now he's middle of the pack.

Seems a bit silly to get Salah in when he may miss this weekend, have city next, then blank, then its an international break.

Imagine that is part of the master plan, Chelsea bank on that 30m for FFP but we kill the poor kids career and send him back.

fuck sake

Oh ok, I've just read a translated Feyenoord forum 'A blind horse has a better overview.' 'Isn't it clear from day one that he can run very fast and literally can't do anything else? Really an incomprehensible rent' Those were from last month mind. Sounds like Slot is having a poor season too.

Going to pretend I never read this.

Jesus, 4.4 vs Spurs who were decimated themselves, nearly 3 against Luton, Bournemouth and Everton. I imagine those teams haven't put up those levels all season. Its clear we cant keep rolling this midfield out, but some of those games must also include Joelinton?

I get that, but it shouldn't make us worse than Sheff United and Burnley defensively. Dropping off from a top 4 defence to mid table, fair play but not to the worst in the league with two generationally bad teams.

Just heard on a podcast we are dead last in non pen XG conceded since the Bournemouth away game. I know we have had Pope missing but we can't blame injuries for all of that. This is a league that has Burnley and Sheff United.

Karius Burn Jamal Schar Livra Miley Bruno Longstaff Murphy Isak Barnes I'd rest Botman, two big games this week both need to win IMO. I would have started Hall but thats never happening, but come on, these lot at 16th in the Champo we should be able to rotate a little here.

I think we have to do this too. We've had a full week to prepare too.

Zinchenko being injured is one of the reasons they have been inform recently.

Wouldn't play anyone that isn't 100% vs Arsenal. Just take the loss and move on its worth risking the rest of the season.

Marveaux was canny when he played tbh

Looks like we were both wrong on which player would get injured this week. Hate this season

After this game we should play the reserves against Arsenal, just give everyone 10 days off.

I was thinking a set back for Barnes.

Had to minus 4, for 2 defenders. Tragic. I'm set up well for next week though.

1-1 with another injury.

I can't wait to fuel the Howe out bandwagon personally

I have it as 26 points from the remaining 14 is enough for top 7

I'm sure Lewis Hall on for him, with Gordon going up top for 20 minutes would have been better than what we did.
