So why no card for simulation for Salah?

Salah’s such a diving little shit.

8 mins extra

Doku hits post and Salah counters and shoots straight at keeper.

Correct but he’s the established clubs man. Seem to recall certain clubs where given privileged access to interview him (or was it the other guy) before appointment. If he left the “other clubs” could make moves to get in a more supportive replacement.

Would argue the support made us a big club as well as reputation (yes, not measurable) but even when we were shit we were one of the most televised teams.

What’s with her saying we weren’t a big club? Hopefully she doesn’t believe that.

Feel bad for him when Isak and Murphy get a rest but he has to play to the end. He’s had a longer season than anyone with the U21 euros, don’t want him breaking down as he’s crucial to our play.

It’s strange dribble as he looks like he’s going to fall forwards as he goes past people.

The pirouette was pretty tasty as well.

Like that he has the body strength to fend off challenges when surging forwards, can use both feet to cut inwards and away from trouble, and doesn’t seem to panic. Hopefully we get to see more of him.

Wasn’t the rumour that Ashley fucked them off?

Maybe chancer was a bit strong but to describe her as an opportunist may be more fair.

If you have to borrow money from the club for your unrelated legal battles and we’re talking 100s of thousands not millions I would question how successful you are.

As nice as she seems she comes across as a chancer. Sorry folks I don’t buy into the idolisation some have for her and Mehdad. Yes, they ultimately saved us from Ashley but it wasn’t charity. They picked up a cheap asset which PIF and the Reubens are funding and which could make them very rich when they sell their slice. It looks like she has no real wealth and her main income was from brokering deals between mid east sheikhs and European businesses. She ends up in a lot of litigation e.g Barclays, Ashley, and now this guy which doesn’t reflect well on her and isn’t good for the clubs image particularly when the club loans her money for her legal battles. Ashley started proceedings for non payment of his loan as has this guy. Not sure if taking personal loans from acquaintances in particular Ashley shows sound judgement as well as not paying them back (if proven).

That’s coached in training sessions not sure what our players do.

His reactions looked better than Dubravka’s as well as his sweeping but his ball playing skills aren’t as good. Where Dubs would knock it about with the defenders shifting the opposition about to break the press Karius was kicking it upfield mostly.

Where’s that from? If that’s the case send him to a better league but he’s not ready for PL yet.

Nah, give him a second season with Feynoord. He’s not a first pick in the Dutch league (no offence ?? NUFC fans) PL is a few steps above that.

Seriously if he has breached the rules again sue him for breach of contract and his transfer fee.

We’ve been pretty passive in the face of all the obstacles put up by others (looking outside in). Think that may have emboldened them more. Not sure why we don’t have a stadium and training ground sponsor, a training kit sponsor, and lots of below the threshold deals with can’t be scrutinised by other clubs. On top of that PIF are massive, I don’t believe they can’t use their leverage to get sponsors outside of their own companies. So to me it looks we could do more to help our finances and haven’t taken the opportunities.

Give Willock a half against Blackburn and see how he goes. If no reaction then start him against Wolves in place of Longstaff. Play Miley as the sitting midfielder with Bruno a little further ahead.

Goal Willock!

Nice having a midfielder who can run with the ball.

Just shoot Miggy.
