On a serious note, I think botman could be better suited to him than burn

I would tell burn to absolutely chop him a couple of times in the first half, when he gets the inevitable yellow we bring on botman to take care of a hobbled haaland. job done

Stand outs today for me were the five midfielders. defence was solid and not worried by forest. nice goal by calum otherwise I would have said he had a very average game

I love you Maxi, I take back all of the black thoughts and doubts!

If we did buy Sesko, Tom Jones’ “sex bomb” tune would be a killer…

The fact that sterling, a better and more epxerienced player was sold for 47m, I think any more than 50 and we are getting mugged

If maddison is 50M, why dont we go back in for Diaby? He was touted around the same

Aye, cant see him going for less than 50M, probably with a decent up fromt payment

If we just forget the footballing aspect (their job) and concentrate on their personalities and how they (mis) treated us as fans, My own dislike list would be: Bruce Pardew (the king) kinnear

I think the prem top eight this year will be a lot stronger than la liga (top two in each excepted). there is quite a drop from third to eighth place here tbf. The years when Atletico are playing well third is well contested.

And the price. Yep, rivalry is high between these two, but at this level you would think the players wouldn’t mind…

I have lived in Bilbao for 25 years and the topic of conversation has always been if they should change their recruitment policy, don’t think they will change it tbh. Really think it is great myself, just sometimes wish they would splash the cash and go for some of the better basque players available. Merino was a prime example of them not going the extra mile…

Wow, if true…

I like it!

Wow, really good passing! Didnt get to see any of the two games at the weekend…

Murphy is great to bring on when we are winning, he gas good organisation skills and covers back well and has pace for the counter attack.

This. If somebody resorts to insults it is just a sure way to demonstrate they are losing the discourse.

I actually think werner could solve two problems at once; play him out wide with calum, then rest calum in second half and play timo through the middle…

Maddison hasn’t really played as a wide man, but could obviously play inside right or 10. If we are playing more of a 4231 instead of 433 then I totally see it.

Would rather have another striker tbf, as well as a right winger before going for a n10 like maddison

I would also go with dubs in goal. pope has been good but I do not think he has done enough to displace dubravka

I really want us to obliterate them! 4 goals or something… have the team really synchronised/fluid in both attack and defense. send a message out to the rest of the league that we have arrived and are not to be funked with

certainly brings into perspective our attacking fret (aaargh.... think of Pardew every time I write that)

The more I think about how we play i.e. high press and highly organised positioning, the less I think that maxi fits our model. He just doesn´t seem to have it in him to press, tackle or at least block the passing angles. At the moment he is a luxury at the expense of the other ten on the pitch. Love him when he is attacking with the ball at feet Hate him when the opposition right back or winger has the ball and he is STROLLING towards them
