100% Why the hell not?

press for the win

We'd also have Joelinton in midfield.

Sure. By all accounts they have made some mistakes that lead to the summer PSR scramble. Had that not happened, I'd have 100% confidence in any decision.

Fingers crossed

How much is this down to overpaying for a player who had a good innternational tournament? He was good in a ultra defensive England that had the easiest path to a final imaginable. Maybe he was good at Crystal Palace. I don't watch Crystal Palace.

5d chess

yes

I don't think we're in a position where we can afford to spend 65m for a Geuhi or Botman. PSR is designed to ensure that. We're better off looking for deals at Lille or Real Sociedad. I might think differently had we not been forced to sell off home grown talent this summer. (and I'm not even a Minteh fanboy)

If only Dubravaka was a few years younger.

Right . He was out most all of last season. His end product (goals and assists) were excellent when he returned.

Barnes is going to make a lot of people eat their words.

My response was mostly a reaction to the Peacock broadcasters. Earle especially. You'd think we'd just seen Feruson's Man Utd.

Don't think Villa were all that impressive.

He'll targeted for awhile. Better now against Bounemouth, Forest, Wolves than later against sides with real quality. He'll do alright, and offer much more going forward than we had with Burn

Making the change now.

No chance Schär's red is reversed. Maybe give Diaz one on review?

Reminds this old American of the New York Cosmos.

He got the goal and was the MOTM. "Country-mile" just set me off. Still angry and proud.

Bruno was quite good.
