The College Dropout

He gets goals and assists. Can’t deny that. And happy for him. Some of his general play is bad but I’ll take it if he keeps coming up with the results.

The added quality in midfield has transformed the team. He’s brought what he always should have brought. Power and athleticism but also ability and leadership. The looseness with the ball at times was something that was always going to happen. It happened at Milan. But his strengths make up for it and he can improve over time. It’s this looseness on the ball which is the main reason he wasn’t on City or similars radar.

They let Ten Hag ruin what was a decent squad under Ole. Solid back 5 + McFred then 4 killers up top was great for them.

Don’t agree here. Howe got a lot right last season and made some mistakes. I think not reintroducing Hall back into the squad a little earlier may have gotten us the extra 3 points we needed to qualify for Europe. But it’s a minor detail in the grand scheme of things. Alls well that ends well. Similar to the Tonali situation.

Jinxed it. 2-0. Game over.

Never noticed that Rogers is a proper diver. We need Murphy and Joelinton off. Willock and Barnes are better for this type of game.

Think taking over Tielemans is a mistake by Emery. They should try and keep it 1-0 for as long as possible. We’ll smash them now.

He shouldn’t have raised his hand but it was soft as shit. He barely touches the shoulder. Rogers reaction buys the yellow card.

Yeh. Crowd have a big part to play too. If we don’t score soon they’ll start getting nervous and create the atmosphere for a sucker punch. So if we get dragged into deep waters the crowd need to stay up. If we get an early goal it could be 3-4 goals.

Joe taps him on the shoulder. Rogers holds his face. Should be a yellow for simulation.

Yeh it’s on purpose. The Joelinton yellow is soft too.

Yeh Duran’s had a nightmare there. Im delighted. But im disappointed in Duran. He’s let himself down massively.

Once we get to the Villa back 4 we look dangerous though.

Villa are overrunning us with numbers in the middle and stopping us from playing it out from the back.

The Championship is a great place for a player to develop. Jude was playing there at that age.

A lot of leicesters issues are due to FFP.

I’m not buying this ‘Eddie played a blinder’. It was only injuries that made Howe start Hall towards the end of last season. If Eddie had rightly introduced Hall 3-4 weeks earlier,there’s a good chance Hall goes to the euros. But alls well that ends well. Hall is an absolute baller and he’s cemented himself as a Howe purple.

You lot love him again yh?

Lighten up man

You lot let me sell Isak for a hit with this run coming up? The Champ is a benevolent and helpful champ but the favour is not returned.

People dislike agents because football clubs tell them to dislike them. If Harry Kane had a proper agent he wouldn’t have wasted a year or two of his prime at a non-ambitious Spurs. This is not a big deal I assume. The agents will get paid. Just PIF being slow which isn’t unusual for big businesses and governments. Other clubs do it too.

Arsenal are the 3rd biggest club in England to me. They have been consistently successful for 100 years. The most FA Cups. The 3rd most league titles.

At least 3. When his van lands he’s a sell.

Liverpool wage bill is twice ours. big difference in official squad cost numbers from the accounts. Granted transfrmarkt will be more up to date but their numbers are not as reliable as official accounts and are in euros not sterling.

We’ve not spent much since they started handing out points deductions for PSR non compliance.
