That's what i'm hoping for. Will be interesting to see Muto and Rondon get a full 90. Think it might be wishful thinking, but if they're fit enough to start they must be in with a shout. Arguably harsh to drop Joselu after he scored.

Dubravka Manquillo Lascelles Fernandez Dummett Shelvey Diame Ritchie Muto Kenedy Rondon

Thought Kane did what he did for England in the World Cup, was a nuisance, held it up, won free kicks. He's much better in open play than I've previously given him credit for. How the fuck did we lose that, by the way?

It was desperate yesterday watching the back four in possession like, could barely get the ball into Diame/Shelvey, although overall we still did enough at the top end to make enough chances to at least get a point. There's nothing we can do about Yedlin/Manquillo and Dummett, but hopefully Schar or Fernandez coming in for Clark will make enough of a difference to help solve this.

do you think so? in post posts enthusing about him running the channels i was specifically gonna say he doesn't have bellamy's pace slightly different point you're making though, granted I think he just looked incredibly sharp. Seems to read the game really well, so he looked to be anticipating where the ball would go and was already up to speed by the time it got there. Don't think he's Bellamy quick, but it's night and day between him and Perez. Loved to see him pointing and telling Atsu/Rondon where to move to as well, seems like a great character.

The speed of this guy when pressing. Bellamy-esque.

He’s fucking bobbins. Can run fast.

This lad knows his shit. Howay the lads.

Unreal

I’ll be there with my brother today like, hoping for a good turnout.

His photography has come on leaps and bounds in a year like!

Serious case of deja vu.

Am actually most concerned about CM tbh. We can shift around at the back and put square pegs in round holes if need be, but in CM we’re fucked if Shelvey or Diame are crocked/drop form. Yeah, I can't imagine Diame keeping his form from the end of last season, either. Guy was class from late December onwards and has looked good in pre-season, still being put down as a "purple patch".

“Substantial six-figure deal” according to their owner:

Feel daft for being shocked we haven’t even been able to dig up a sub-standard left-back from somewhere on loan

This is not how it works anymore. It’s still very much part of it. There are different areas which require scores, you can see them via this site - http://www.danielgeey.com/the-foreigner-debate-the-fas-new-work-permit-regulations-explained/ From that I can’t see him getting more than a couple of points. Although he played in France it’s not one of the ‘top three’ leagues. Aye, posted this when people were worrying about Muto. Think people are of the opinion that % of international games is the only factor, though, which is wrong. If it’s gone to a hearing he’s clearly not got the required points.

This is not how it works anymore.

If only we hadn’t used allll the loans.

For all the praise Rangers fans have gotten for their protesting, the number of people involved in the heavily publicised Sports Direct "£1" protest was only around 100. If we manage that (or more) it's a good start.

A major issue is that nobody actually knows what's happening at the protest, hopefully this gets ironed out in the next day or two and details can be made readily available. Currently it's like asking people to turn up at Sports Direct to do something, which isn't an easy share for media outlets / .com

Unfortunately we're lacking the technology to limit the poll by location, and people are cunts so they'd vote regardless

Come at me bros.

Another bloody Brazilian. Marvelous. The loan thing is getting silly now like.

Well there's 7 confirmed for it so far, that's a start (added a poll to the opening post for people to state whether they're attending or not).
