Have to disagree, I think Isak is a big upgrade on Wilson. Wilson's a class poacher, but off the ball he offers little.

True!

He's going to be integral to our team for years to come, can't wait for the journey to properly get started. I'd start him on the left and Fraser on the right with Isak up the middle. If Almiron has to play, stick him in the middle with Bruno and Joelinton playing deep and he can do his headless-chicken pressing in the middle, further up the pitch and crowd out their midfield.

There's no doubting Hatem's on-the-ball talent, but he'd never fit into an Eddie Howe team because of how he sets teams up to play off the ball. You just can't have one player not doing the high press, if you do then it leaves gaps in the press to be passed through and all of a sudden you're 3v3 or 4v4 with the defence back peddling very quickly. What a player though, one of my favourites. What is it with this club and mercurial French wingers, particularly left wingers? It really is a bit odd. Ginola Robert Maxi Hatem (on the right) Not that I'm complaining, between those 4 you've got most of my top favourite 5 PL-era NUFC players

I think he's earnt a bit leeway wouldn't you say

Joelinton does the same with his long gait, starts out miles away from a player he's pressing yet somehow seems to get feet on the ball even when the player brings the ball player-side.

I think Barnes23 might be Fede

Good servant, great bloke, wish him well.

Love the thread title update but no corroborating posts, we care so much

Body type of Skills of Finishes like Nope, I'm not getting carried away at all!

Come on lads

Anderson

Almiron just kicked with his right foot

Murphy preventing Liverpool playing out from the back with the press on Alisson

I suggested this in the Wolves match thread Especially with his amazing positioning that prevents any chance of the striker getting the ball, if he takes the same positions in defence we'd have some player!

Chris wood in cushioned-header-straight-to-the-opposition shocker

Could do with Anderson for Longstaff, he's got the lungs of a goldfish

I just want to switch off now

Now entering the last 30 mins.. this is going to be the real test lads.

Love being 2 minutes behind in games like this. If Liverpool are looking dangerous, I refresh the page, if no spam of 'shit/fuck', I know they won't score and can relax. If I randomly refresh and I see'GET IN' etc., I can be super-attentive to the build up and absorb it like a sponge drinking up the tears of Liverpool supporters.

Definitely an agenda against us based on the coverage of us recently. The third strip use couldn't get enough Saudi Arabia comparisons in the first five minutes of the game, then the ticker banners about the £123m we'd spent next to a screenshot of Howe, even though more than half of that wasn't even in the squad, and nothing about the £100m+ that Wolves had spent.

The last 30 minutes of this game is going to be very hard for our whole team tbh with the way we play and the lack of quality outside defence on the bench, Anderson aside

All of a sudden the master plan I've signing every 6ft+ player that's any use is coming good
