HawK

A prime example of game where St Maximin might be able to bring a spark, hope we get to see him.

Massive chance that

I think as he winds up his long passes, he channels his inner-Pokémon and shouts 'LonnnggggggggggSTAFF' as he strikes it.

Takes a concussion, then plays on (stupid medical staff have some balls and do your damn jobs), then goes down without impacting his head and the concussion is of course still there. It's a fucking disgrace to be honest, you're messing with people's long-term health.

Match threads can be good if you use some of the more basic forum functions, you don't have to read everyone's posts

Helps our top 4 changes ;-)

Brighton 2 up against Chelsea

Ironic if he plays on now and 'does a Karius', with Karius literally watching on from our bench.

Hope he's OK, don't like to see players injured

Dear lord, big Joe with an actual shot that wasn't a scuff or falling over! He's still being Howed !!

We need to slow this down and move up the pitch.

reminds me of how Mrs HawK woke me up this morning

Our goal looks smaller with big Nick in it.

Any stable rivers? My usual go-to is chopping back a minute every 30s then cutting loose.

In before kick-off!

If he starts/plays for Brazil in the WC then I see no reason for him to leave here. The form he's showed for us since joining has launched him into contention in that Brazil team, he was a bit-part/breakthrough player beforehand.

I'm fairly sure Bruno uncharacteristically lost the ball at least twice in possession today, Trippier at least once, Joelinton too. We just won away at WHL vs a Spurs team sitting third in the league, focus on the amazing graft and intelligence to nick the ball out of the air towards Sessegnon and also direct it to Almiron for the goal. Any other player on that header would have skied it or put it straight back to Lloris. For me, Shelvey's going to have to work very hard to displace Longstaff atm. There's so much he does off the ball, it's no coincedence we're picking up some amazing results with him as part of our midfield.

Guess who's back? Back again? Shelvey's back, that pass got bend.

Whatever you think of him, he still pops up with the assists. Off the ball he's an absolute workhorse like Almiron, it's no coincedence that him being the right-sided midfielder with Almiron ahead of him results in us winning the ball back so often.

papa is el mejor .. oh oh.. Daddy is the best

The guidance for referees includes proximity to the player kicking the ball, not just unnatural arm position. I'd argue his arm was naturally positioned and it was point-blank tbh.

I am so unaccustomed to all our players beyond the half-way line when we're ahead away from home. I mean, it's like lightning striking twice in the same spot really.
