Schar has been good. Fully expect a red card

Positives: travelling support That's it, got nothing else.

Oh, now you make a change.

What you think? Will Howe make a change at half tme? My guess is no.

this this this

Thought he got it

and then Souness beats the crap out of him. Win-Win

Good.

Ademola Lookman, Daniel Amartey, Kelechi Iheanacho, Ayoze Perez, Filip Benkovic, Vontae Daley-Campbell and Jannik Vestergaard

It tells you that Rafa thought that Sissoko was better suited to carry out his game plan. Howe does things differently and might have made different choices.

Are we talking about a record-breaking deal? Didn't realize. Than no. Definite no. Thought it was a loan.

Instant reaction was no. But I am coming around to your way if thinking. The rumour is probably BS. But if he is interested, I think he could add something. Knows something about gegenpressing from his time at Liverpool. Maybe Howe can use him?

I'd really like to believe this, but Occam's razor. The club probably don't have our shit together yet. • Firing Bruce took too long. • Hiring Howe took too long. • Hiring DOF is taking too long. • Different stakeholders with different opinions and priorities. • They've never done this before. Glad that Howe at least knows what he's doing.

If it happens to Man Utd or Liverpool.

Thanks for this. Got lost in here.

Saw a transfer rumour that we were looking at Florian Grillitsch of Hoffenheim. I have no idea whether he's any good, but the thing that caught my eye is that he regularly starts for them as either a CB or DM. For me, a class DM should be our main priority followed closely by a new CB. Assuming that Grillitsch isn't Claude Makelele, a bersatile player like that would be a really useful January purchase. As a second DM (replacing Hayden) and as a second/third CB. Assuming again that we are buying at least one other CB and DM.

Start whinging if anyone around here is wishing Rafa well when we're playing Everton. Not going to happen. If NUFC stay up or go down isn't going to depend on the success or failure of Everton. And please stop insisting that drawing such as conclusion is self evident. It's absurd.

Richarlison hat trick?

We're not even mediocre.

Me too.

Disagree.. He showed more attacking intent over that 90 minutes than Fraser or Murphy have. Watched this on a dodgy stream, but the game highlight reel is all Miggy inthe second half. So, yeah, if we're bringing Dembele or some such, he's way below the standard. But in that position, choosing between Miggy, Fraser, or Murphy, I'll pick him every time. It's his first start for Howe. Let's see how things look when he's been de-Bruced.

Don't think that Burnley would sell him to us even if we were. They'd be mad to. No matter how much we offer. Selling to a relegation rival? Nope.

Or Ake.

They won't give any time to us. All the talk will be about Man City's crucial demolition of Watford.
