Big Joe and Longstaff were jogging back to support the defence.

FFP is a three year rolling period so if we signed a midfielder in January and six months latter the adidas money comes in both transactions would fall in that 3 year rolling period. Let’s see how the hierarchy play this one.

They said January markets don’t offer value and are difficult to to do business and they won’t generally do business then but this is an exceptional situation so that may change. Also re your earlier posts about FFP since then we’ve had new deals with Sela, Adidas, Saudia, and Daka so that will improve the FFP situation.

Getting on now but the dribbling, ball retention, and the ability to make a pass under pressure is still there.

Spurs all over Fulham, nearly two.

Not sure if serious, don’t feel any sympathy for them. Like they weren’t loving it when we rotted under Ashley.

Man U looking shite versus Sheffield United. Hopefully we batter these when we get our hands on them.

He’s got one, should have kept busy shagging her.

Would this need to be unanimous or majority PL club decision? Don’t see it happening because bottom half PL clubs attract top foreign talent due to wages, take that away and they stop challenging. Poorer league means less TV revenue, they’d be sabotaging themselves.

Not looking good, but hopefully these new sponsorship deals I.e. Saudia and Daka, plus the already agreed Adidas deal give us wiggle room to bring in a midfielder to cover his loss.

Club statement said he has our full support and that we and Tonali won’t comment further whilst it’s being investigated.

Was hoping he would sit the matches out and be fresh.

And we score.

World cup semi and Euro final Southgate deserved the last World Cup but we were poor there and nothing since suggests we’ll take that next step under his leadership. FA need to bin him but won’t and we’ll make it to quarters/semis next summer but get knocked out as per usual. Frustrating thing is we have the players to win with the right coaching, tactics, and selection.

Not sure how booing helps the players to perform better.

Lovely Aussie move, nearly a goal.

Footie matches in pouring rain worries me, go for a sliding tackle and you can loose control and do some damage.

Australia seem more motivated so far.

If you need to gamble why not do it on unrelated sports like horses, dogs, rugby etc.

He is, all these international breaks aren’t helping him gel with the rest of the team.

The injury situation plus our lack of depth is unfair on developing players like Anderson as they’re expected to perform like seasoned pros when what they need is to come in with 20 minutes to go when we’re already winning.

Probably because we were a few minutes away from a win and were masters of our own downfall regarding their equaliser.

Disappointed with the draw in the end as we were so close to the win but overall thoughts: -We played a difficult away game soon after playing PSG and dominated possession though WHU were dangerous on the break - We were able to improve second half against a team that didn’t for the majority of the game want to play football -Tonali needs time and looked like he was gassed at 75 mins, maybe should have been subbbed. Was loose with passing (tried a flicked 1-2 and WHU got the ball) and played his part in their equaliser but think he’ll come good when he’s used to the pace of the game -Anderson isn’t ready yet to be a starting player against the better teams, needs to play against weaker opposition or come in as an impact sub against tired players. Seems confident retaining possession in tight spaces but sometimes when he could have offloaded the ball to a teammate to recycle possession didn’t and lost the ball. Needs to improve decision making. Also charged out to close them down high up the pitch which set of a chain reaction that lead to their equaliser.

If only that Isak shot after he rounded the keeper didn’t hit the post, what if, but 2-2 is fair in the end.

Game ends all square.
