Sums him up perfectly tbh. I think many people have said more or less the same thing in non-graph form.

He makes those finishes look easy tbf. A bit like he made the penalty look easy.

We could maybe move Willock out there at a push. I think the bigger issue is if Isak gets injured, that will basically end our Europe hopes. Unless Wilson can stay fit for the rest of the season.

Bournemouth will definitely have more eyes on them after the last couple of results, hopefully that will mean teams put in a bit extra against them and/or they start to feel added pressure with the expectation.

You would have thought it would have happened over the last few weeks with all their injuries, but they seem to be going from strength to strength. Hopefully it's just adrenaline of winning and fatigue will settle in over the next month or two.

Spurs and Man U are probably seen as national assets, being one of London's premier clubs probably helped Spurs get govt funding for their stadium. I imagine Man U being the "north's" premier club might allow them to access the same funding for their development around Old Trafford as well, especially since Brexit Jim is a Sir.

This basically. I feel we had to sell Minteh and Anderson because we couldn't move Miggy, but it's water under the bridge now. I am more than happy enough if we can get £8-10m for him, better late than never. If nothing else we can appreciate someone who always gave everything for the shirt and ran his heart out.

Wonder if Paqueta's injury is genuine or some sort of betting scam?

Pqueta being a twat with the overhead kick attempt.

Get in.

Howe deserves massive credit in believing in him tbf. He obviously saw his raw attributes and has worked on getting him to deliver on those. He's had a couple of cracking long range shots with his left foot which have rattled the woodwork in recent games. Didn't even realise he had that in his locker until this season.

That penalty pretty much summed up his executioner mindset. Ice cold.

Don't really like to bump a thread of a player who never arrived, but he really did look a prospect.

Class!

Yep. Obviously tragic for Mings, but it's a boost to our CL hopes.

Same.

Might just be the wording of your first sentence which threw me then. I think outperformed is subjective for the reasons I gave.

As far as Bournemouth goes, the cartel's next move will be to annex Iraola. That's the Bournemouth problem solved at least.

Don't agree at all. Even yesterday when Gordon wasn't at his best output wise, his ability to spin and find pockets of space when he had three opponents closing in got us out of trouble and put Southampton on the back foot. This is where the close control is really important, and where players like Bruno who have got it, are priceless. Murphy's end product has been fabulous this season, fair play to him. But I still want someone like Gordon on the right side to replace him, I just think our football will end up being that much better.

That Marmoush that City bought looks like he might be a player.

I was tearing my hair out at that abysmal cross. I'm not one who is normally too critical of his passing as I think his pace and defensive qualities make up for it, but he was a bit all over the place at times yesterday.

Think Arsenal might fancy Cunha tbh.

I think where we finish will depend on if we can maintain our high energy levels. When we are at 100%, closing down the opposition, pressing high, and full of confidence, we are good enough to beat anyone. If it drops by 10% though, that same style can get us in trouble, and we start losing the ball in dangerous areas. I think how we rotate players and keep them fresh is going to be crucial in the second half of the season.

Bournemouth look a bigger threat tbh.

Class finish. Showed the keeper the other side of the goal before slotting into the near one. Never looked in any doubt.
