The College Dropout

ASM was electrifying against Southampton for 20 minutes and was on the bench the next game too.

Aye he's being given very little grace for a player that hasn't started in 3/4 months.

A lot of the points in those posts are valid. I have the same opinion now.

Nah. Not enough creativity and goals in the side.

The goal conceded at Spurs is practically identical. Joelinton doesn’t win it at the near post, man on the far post gets away from Trippier. Is it a major problem? No. It’s only happened twice but it’s something to note for sure right? Probably something EH will want to be sure doesn’t become a pattern. He wouldn’t chalk it up to luck and do nothing about it imo.

Some good analysis by Sky. 2nd goal we've conceded that he's lost his man on the far post.

Looked sharp and quick. Pushing for a start already.

Back to the old Miggy. I'll be delighted if he can score and assist another 6 for the rest of the season. That purple patch is well and truly over.

I do think we are running out of steam. We are predictable and don't have a lot of attacking quality. Without Bruno. We are hyper reliant on pressing and Trips-Miggy 1-2 to create chances. Teams can prepare for that.

Very workman like on the ball. Only Bruno can play a ball with some disguise and get it forward. The 3 in there and runners and that's it

Often had to force it.

Well we needed to get a midfielder anyway. Only Bruno can break the lines with his ball carrying and passing. Without him, it's tremendously work-man like in there.

Almiron looking like Almiron again. ASM was poor. Gordon's a bright spark. Still bringing Murphy off the bench. Wilson looked bad again.

Poor transfer window coming to light. 4 draws in the last 5. Lack of quality in midfield to create quality chances. Lack of quality in attack to create and convert chances. Not enough quality off the bench. Honestly - could've done with Shelvey and Wood. Shelvey to try and pass balls through the lines. Wood just because Wilson was done. We needed that midfielder and additional attacker. Gordon looked bright though.

Expected this performance.

Could do with Chrissy Wood tbf

I've always liked the look of him at West Ham. Love a player with real footballing ability in the middle of the park.

Gordon looks sharp. We lack quality in the final 3rd again. Aguerd & Paqueta have looked like players today.

At home in particular when teams come to sit. Need Targett in for Burn. Away games to start Burn.

In the Flack case. There was evidence where she hit him over the head with something and he called the ambulance. Just him and her at home. Think there was a recording and a police/ambulance visit.

I think there has to be a way for him to return to playing if they will not convict him or take him to trial.

It's not to say he's innocent. "In this case a combination of the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction. In these circumstances, we are under a duty to stop the case." That's frequently the case with sexual abuse and domestic violence - the lack of testimony from victims, potential witnesses and fundamentally a lack of evidence. I do think he'll play again. I reckon he will go abroad (Italy perhaps) and likely come back to the PL in a season or two. Can see Man Utd trying to loan him out rather than sell. It's all genuinely grim though.

Pope penalty save.

Atletico Arabia is brilliant tbf
