Think Foden is more talented than Saka and I would be a bit terrified as an Arsenal fan about how much Saka has already played in his short career. Can see Foden ending up with a better and longer career.

His per 90 assist numbers are actually pretty poor. Expected assists per 90 for his PL career are 0.15 per 90, just as an example Miggy has 0.10 which is quite close.

Per 90 minutes stats don't count unless you've played at least 3000 minutes, see ASM thread last summer for confirmation.

Is there any evidence that he won't be? How about we give him a chance?

Think Man United winning might be better for us if we somehow get past Man City, they are more likely to knock out Liverpool after all.

I use Flashcore. Their ads have never bothered me and they've been the only one I check after they added xG.

Staveley, Reuben's and to a lesser extent PIF bought us to make money. She's obviously an opportunist and a bit of a chancer. Doesn't change the fact that they have seemingly fell in love with the club and them making money out of NUFC is also beneficial to us. If they end up selling the club for few billions in the future we are in a much better spot than we were under Ashley. I don't really care if NUFC borrow her some money when cash flow is not a problem for the club either.

We don’t really have them back yet, Willock was rusty and only played 60 minutes and Anderson played 5 minutes. And Joelinton and Tonali are obviously big misses.

I thought I was implying that too in my post. That dude is the Prime Minister of bad takes on N-O and I’m not good enough person to just ignore his drivel.

Don’t be so precious, it’s obviously said tongue-in-cheek. Although the quoted post didn’t warrant that at all.

I really liked him most of the game. Looked very strong stepping up and intercepting things while being comfortable in possession. No idea what he did for the goal though, somehow just missed the ball entirely after the bounce from a fucking throw-in.

I think the truth in his ability is somewhere between last season and this season. He's clearly very low on confidence right now and probably knackered as there hasn't been anyone else available. Hope he can bounce back late in the season when we can have Willock and Anderson as rotation options and he's fresher. He really needs to quit the diving and whining to the ref when he loses a duel fairly though, looks absolutely pathetic.

We have to be careful with him when Wilson is confirmed to be out for so long. Wouldn't be surprised if Gordon got an injury at some point too with all the minutes he's been forced to play which would leave us with no one. Who would even be the emergency striker if Isak, Wilson, Gordon and Joelinton were all out? Murphy?

He really didn’t do much today in the 60 minutes he played. It’s harsh to criticise a 17-year-old kid but he’s nowhere near as ready as most here seem to think. A good loan next season would be amazing for his development.

Yeah, doesn't make any sense. If Blackburn knew they were getting Man City or Liverpool away next round they probably would have thrown the game with the massive six-pointers coming up in their relegation fight.

Deluded Geordies wasn't so far-fetched after all.

Confidence and composure have absolutely nothing to do with motivation, howay man.

Wonder if Rashford does that backtracking? Really harsh if he's left out of the Euros but would definitely be good for us. Although doubt he would play much in any case due to the aforementioned Rashford.

It kind of makes sense, can't book someone for a professional foul if they fail to do it and stop the attack. Think they still go back and give the yellow for bad tackles though.

Yeah, think so. You can't give Schär red for it as it was so far away so playing advantage seemed like the better option.

They play a different position.

That's the forum right now, only able to look past two previous games at most.

We obviously weren’t good but we had enough chances to put few games to bed in ET and they hardly battered us during the 90 either.

He lost the ball cheaply right before he did the right thing.
