Yedlin back is a bit of a relief considering how light we are there

To push on we need at some point need to have one less defender and one more attacker in the first XI. To do this we had to strengthen the central midfield and right wing, we may well have done this. Based on current fit personnel, a more cohesive attacking team would be: Dubravka Hayden Fernandez Lejeune Clark Lazaro Bentaleb Longstaff ASM Almiron Joelinton Clearly we need Manquillo back soon and a new left back but it’s something to think about.

What the actual fuck

Not sure that's a win win for Frankfurt mind... It guarantees them £7.5m if he returns at a similar level and stays fit. If he doesn’t we are paying his wage for a year. The alternative is that he goes back to Frankfurt and his value will depreciate as it will be hard to take a risk on him with that injury.

I’d extend his loan until the end of next season with his optional transfer clause being made compulsory after 20-30 more league games. That sounds win win win to me.

Just drove past a VMS in Manchester: ‘Love it, just love it, if we beat the traffic”

Well I shop at the same Sainsbury’s as Audrey Roberts so I think I trump you there

Probably makes a difference that he is now playing on his preferred side as well

What the fuck are you talking about you fucking mong

think we are going to forget about relegation henceforth. A cup run and takeover could happen this season if we genuinely wanted it.

Everyone knew Shelvey was onside. It was Carroll they weren't sure about I said ‘it’ as in the play, not Shelvey

More I see that goal from Shelvey the more brilliant I think he took it. He is the only person on the pitch that knows it is onside but pretends he thinks he’s offside completely half arsed running on the ball as if he’s time wasting. Think that’s what got Henderson.

Average is never a great adjective to use as it is all relative and down to specific terms of reference. For instance, for the top two English divisions Bruce as a yo-yo manager could be seen as bang average. However if we are talking every professional league in world football, Bruce is a top manager.

He did, the first two games, lost both and he was terrible. Rafa never played him in midfield ever again. He chose Colback ahead of him, that is how bad he was.

Why? He was an absolutely pathetic player, even as a CM in The Championship. Only counting PL appearances he had one of our all time worst win % as an individual.

Aged just 30 he has been a free agent since the summer having been released by Leeds following an unsuccessful loan spell at Willem II

Look, Anita was probably one of the worst players to have made it to fifty games for this club. Was complete cack as a CM plus a barely passable back up full back. His only redeeming feature was that he wasn’t Colback

I said before Bournemouth that 4 points in these two games will make us the most desirable for any potential purchaser than we have been for several years so I hope we win

Put in Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Sol Campbell and David Seaman and this team wins the World Cup. There lies the problem.

Kosovo will be a top 60 ranker in a few years. Definitely don’t agree that this is a bad England team, don’t think I’ve seen any team annihilate the opposition in so many games in qualifying.

1.2tn Cost of Corbyn probably accounts for making the club a public owned club with additional signings of Mbappe, Neymar and Messi

I don’t really understand the concept of playing wingers in front of wing backs. I think we have good enough players to be scoring more goals but the tactics need realigning
