His chance actually looked more difficult on replay, needed to be a dink or needed more air on it.

Was it not a header to Bruno who’s back was to the on rushing defender who stole it? Bruno had 0 chance to keep that ball. He wasn’t even standing, was in the air. So either he’s fouled or it’s stolen.

His pass for the offside Isak goal was stuff of dreams.

we’ve been insanely wasteful in front of goal

the two of them would seem suited to building out of a double pivot with Bruno then getting a rcm / free role and Tonali at the base to push the ball quickly and recycle the quickly. Allows Bruno to do his thing once we leave that first phase, but also lets Tonali get far more involved in all phases. Willock should be LCM doing his thing. Joelinton and Gordon wide.

How many goals has he scored, ruled offside because of that shoulder of his? (I know he was legit off today)

God I miss Krafth and Jamaal….and Botman. And Pauly D.

yep that’s where I am. It’s why I’m not too upset, it’s growing pains.

Is there a football player out there who offers willock’s ball carrying, more fit often and is better in the attacking third? That’s probably the evolution.

Not buying in? Idk about that brotha. Boys looked bought in the last several games.

Everyone does it and everyone boos it. Christ it’s not that serious. It’s a natural agro home fan reaction.

Shite day in the office and the last 30 mins was utterly bizarre but thankfully he’ll study it and sort it.

Really can’t be too mad, tbh. We had the chances to level it, didn’t. West Ham gamesmanship was on from minute 1 and it never was going to drop for us. Thought the subs were shite, Kelly had some moments to forget too but this is football and the story of our season. Inconsistent.

Hypothetical strongest bench of: Dub, Burn, Kelly, Trippier, Miley, Longstaff, Barnes, Murphy, Wilson

What is mad is that at some point, you'd see Kelly, Targett and Burn competing for 1-2 spots on there when Botman is back.

Bruno the RCM, Tonali the 6 and Willock the LCM with Big Jow LW

In my mind's eye, @manorpark took a photo off his phone of some random VHS he has of some random TV show; all part of his war chest archive.

NFL’s model seems to work for the US where there are Amazon, Fox, CBS and ESPN sharing the general TV rights love with NFL itself selling “Sunday Ticket” where you can watch every Sunday 1 or 4p match and then an additional channel of Red Zone coverage that jumps all over the place to keep people interested without having to watch full matches. You could easily share the rights amongst your usual groups and PL could pump out (via their world feed they operate anyway) a package that allows people to see their favorite club or follow whatever they want. I am convinced there are enough people out there who will go see see live football of their favorite club no matter what is on TV

I don’t know why, but i seem to recall being shit scared of that match and worried that Best playing meant we were going to be turbo. We were ruthless that day and i thought his finishes were absolutely class.

Think I am going to whip up one of these social media teams style photos and send it around to my friend crew the next time we have a lads day out bar sesh.

I like that Alan Smith who does TNT. He was doing some comms during the Euros for Fox here and he was the most enthused and knowledgeable. Also huge fan of his during Paris (h) and other stuff I hear from him.

Can’t get that mental image of Leon Best destroying these out of my head.

Couldn’t give a fuck about who wins it, hopefully we mount a charge up the table and spoil anyone’s supposed free ride.

Why can’t we play City when they are this bad

I’m all fine for a new ground but needs to be basically immediately adjacent to the current one or the club owners will have hurt the city and the fans badly. having said all that, I have serious doubts over how big the commercial income really gets given the dearth in cost of living between south and north and the ability to feasibly charge more for tickets across the board and the # commercial and corp business clients between the two regions. always seems to me as a long time outsider and talking to fans abroad or as close as the south of England that the draw always seems to be SJP + The fans. Maybe it’s as simple as new stadium + same fans but I can’t help but think the pride in the home fuels the atmosphere.
