To be fair from memory that was a placard put up by some fans and became some sort of rallying call around the time the takeover stalled. Don’t think anyone genuinely believed it and it doesn’t obligate others to adhere to the sentiment. With new owners and performance improvement it’s natural to want more and to push on and I wouldn’t blame anyone for having higher expectations now compared to the Ashley era. In saying that the constant moaning doesn’t help anyone. Just find there’s no middle ground on the forum with two extremes. The “pipe down, be happy with your lot, remember how shit it was under Ashley” camp and the “Everything’s shit, PIF don’t care, Brexit Eddie’s ruining our plans” camp.

Not saying that but no point in being upset over albeit a very good player who may not have been that transformational to our style of play. Also we weren’t in the running for his signature.

Will we though? Looks like a good shot stopper and commanding in the box but shit with his feet. Pretty much what Pope is but younger. Don’t think he would have been the transformational keeper like Ederson and Allison were for City and Liverpool.

European clubs are exploiting it, buy them up and develop them and sell back to PL.

Better CB than LB I think. Difficult situation the first return to your old club. I’m sure he’ll be a useful addition but I would have partnered him with BDB ( I’m sure two left footers can play together) and played Lewis as LB.

Tonali should be available for selection, will improve midfield no end.

Yellow

Maybe picking our better players might help?

He got a in game yellow, though if you get a yellow in game you can’t use VAR after?

Hate these flicky passes we make when panicked which go straight to the opposition.

Please score now, and really piss these off.

Disallowed

Trippier about to come on it sounds like.

Could be an offside?

Big Joe fuck up for that goal.
