Our forward passing is abysmal today.

Genuinely can't remember the last time we were so shit up front.

And we'll get a huge fee for him and move on. I don't think anyone realistically expects Tonali to be here beyond next summer or the summer after? He's probably here five years too soon but let's enjoy him while we can.

After two CL stints since Sela I hope we do a deal with Riyadh Air for big money and close the gap further.

Have no faith in us to win this at all.

ENJOY THE GAME!!!

I know our league form has been poor but are people aware we won 3 in a row before West Ham, and 5 of the 6 before it too? There's plenty of time to get climbing the league, I trust Howe and these players to sort it out.

Nothing but you're never going to be able to stop that. My main point isn't about money anyway, it's about being able to put someone else's name on your match ticket if you aren't going to use it and want to pass it on. The club will say they are being strict about it to stop touts which is the only reason I brought up face value but there's nothing that can be done about someone paying extra on top via another platform or cash. I think especially now when it's so hard to get tickets you're probably going to get a lot of people buying from other ticket holders. It's mainly if it becomes an issue with checks.

Could set up a ticket transfer system on the site where the payment can be made too. I dunno, but if they're gonna be strict about names on tickets there should be a way to change the name on it if you can't make the game and want to give it to someone else.

It's ridiculous that there's no facility in place to change the name on a ticket if youve sold it for face value to someone you know.

Because he shows up in the CL and hes one of the top scorers in the competition, I probably wouldn't drop him, but I would for Brentford.

Is there any hassle with being asked for ID for tickets at SJP, particularly at the 1892 club? Normally my tickets are in my name but heading on Wednesday with someone elses name on it because I bought it off him.

Watch him turn it on against Bilbao and disappear against Brentford again.

Can you imagine if Sunderland got to the final of the League Cup? It'd be a different calibre of competition then wouldn't it? It's just pure jealousy.

He can fuck right off if he thinks he's going to play international football in November like. That would be a slap in the face to us trying to get him back tbh.

You have to laugh at him complaining about his squad, as if us, Arsenal, Spurs, Palace etc aren't also playing in Europe with the same schedule. All the other teams had first team players rotated about, only Slot decided to dip into his youth squad.

Early goal would be good to turn the crowd. As said before a great chance for an away win.

Brilliant chance to get back to Wembley.

How class is it hearing tell me ma again.

Shocked they didn't wait and approach Ange again.

I reckon they'll be close to full strength for us bar maybe two or three.

The difference in the fixtures tomorrow and Wednesday. Said it already but if we can get through tomorrow and get one of tomorrow's winners we've a great chance of another final.

There's a strong chance our game gets picked for Boxing Day, away to Man Utd.

Shocking news about Boxing Day. Genuinely one of the best days of that period is getting together with your mates with a load of bets on and craic about the football. Suppose it'll just be the 27th now.

Well on their way. Five points clear of us... in October
