Yes, I went into this season expecting one of our core threats to be set piece headers, and it's incredibly far from being the case. To some extent it's a coaching choice - we clearly like our routines such as back post header across - but also our players lack real menace and conviction. The only one I can think of who does have it is Lascelles and he isn't on the pitch. I'd actually say it's Botman who is the disappointment really. I'd priced in Burn being useless because we were told that before he joined and he's not powerfully built in a classic sense. But part of the reason he should have had 4 or 5 is that he's clearly been nominated as our best hope for offensive headers, which says bad things about Botman and co... Or the judgement of our set piece coaches, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

Yes, that's my understanding - it was opportunist and we might well have not bought anyone otherwise.

I'm quite proud of the performance in some ways. We never shrunk or gave up, we stayed professional and positive. I saw nothing that made me more concerned about the rest of our run in.

Nah, we're one game closer to Man United not being able to get past us. Not ideal, but Liverpool can have 3rd if we get 4th.

I don't think it's luck exactly. I think he has a habit of trying to be too perfect with his shots and aiming for the corner of the corner.

Yes, would've meant more coming from Trippier given Murphy named Kevin Nolan in his all time 5 a side team

Got to think that's a policy choice from the coaches... As you say, I can't remember the last time I saw one.

Murphy was saying he's his toughest opponent a while back...

If the right offer came in, I wouldn't rule out a surprise here. But probably not.

Hardly, he's describing support. There's a cohort of people who are far more active and verbally florid as soon as there's anything negative to pick at, without giving any due respect to history or context.

The good news is we go to Leeds and fucking murder them. Then everyone gets to go back to saying James Maddison isn't good enough for us etc.

Sex bomb. Shame about Longstaff mind...

If possible I would get him back here just to get his career back on track. Hearts and/or us have clearly made severe errors in assessing his needs and abilities.

I can't see why we wouldn't just get him out of there. It doesn't seem as though Hearts would have any complaints.

Been like this for a few months now for me. Always been the case for stories, or whatever they're called, though. Figured they were just trying to make everyone join their system...

Catastrophic

I can't be bothered to put any effort into it, but is there a way to view Instagram without an account nowadays? None of the links work for me.

Hence let's wreck some connotations. Could win our first trophy in half a century in them

I'm happy with white socks as I like putting these hoodoos to bed.

That was the first game after Trippier got injured, wasn't it? I recall everyone shitting themselves over Krafth coming in for the match. Then he had a great game, and a great finish to the season too...

It was the snigger he tried to disguise while drinking that I enjoyed

Tells you the buying clubs' transfer operators are scared and confused too.

Gonna be one of the spawniest GOTMs ever of he gets it

Beware models.
