HawK

Aye I thought it was Willock with how he put that run together at the start, pleasantly surprised to see it was Murphy.

He's largely irrelevant in this game, we need more on the ball ability and Willock's looked sharp off the bench

But it's a great leg

He's only got one leg, he's only got one LLEEEGG. MIGUEL ALMIRON, He's only got one leg

Historically, his pressing has always looked like 'just running around', and often a bit like a headless chicken. He's not changed in this respect - what has changed is that the rest of the team are now pressing with him since Howe's implemented his style of play. Having one player press is counter-productive, but having the whole team pressing is a system that works and he looks great in it.

Souness is usually a great pundit tbf

Couldn't we just sell him to some Saudi-based puppet club for £500m and then have them loan him back to us?

Yep, me too, but on current form I don't think that happens

Considering he really doesn't offer much apart from scoring (he's an out-and-out poacher/elite finisher), the fact he didn't score today says even more about the rest of the team. If we had Isak in there, we'd have been even more dangerous for what he brings to the team in the build-up. Love Wilson to bits, his goals have been vital for us, but I really want to see Isak start when fit. I think we'd be able to retain the ball even higher up the pitch and a lot more will 'stick' when played into him.

Yep

Pinnock making sure that Wood doesn't score.

Graeme Jones looking like Almiron's dad the way they approached each other off the field

Howe's Joelinton'd Almiron. The lad couldn't get in the team for much of back-end of last season. Now look at him, wow. I'm so happy we don't have to play against him and that he's in our squad, and now on the pitch.

Schar normally looks like he's ready to walk into a PlayGirl shoot, but today it looks like he's collided sideways into his missus' hairdryer

One of Willocks best games since August this. Credit where it's due, he's laid on a couple of top passes and had some good runs too.

Mo Farah coming on for Brentford

BRUNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I think @David Edgarthat some of us may be more inclined to weigh your opinions on merit, if you occasionally came out with some positive ones

I think I summoned him

Aye, I prefer Targett there, but having Burn there allows us to have that back 3 on the ball and Trippier can basically become a right winger. It seems to be working really well.

Are you mates with the user david edgar by any chance?

Murphy scores?!

Murphy with a shot on target, fk me what's going on
