Haha, nice finish dickhead.

The lack of pace in our front four man, fucking dismal.

Cracking effort that from Colback, would have comfortably made it to the net had the keeper not got there.

Quality pronunciation of the word plethora there by the commentator. Good man Colback, let him know you're there early!!

Rape these cunts!!

His lack of ability going forward wouldn't be such an issue in many teams but given Rafa's system I think we need a LB who can actually do something with the ball. Rafa loves his inverted wingers meaning any real width in our attack has to come from the full-backs. If we were to sign a left footed, pacy winger and actually play him on the left then I'd have no real issue with Dummett staying in the team. That seems unlikely though.

Beijing Enterprises.

I didn't actually think the miss was THAT bad tbh. He certainly should score but he's turning, taking it first time on the half volley so it's not straightforward. He's had several worse this season... which isn't exactly a glowing defense of him I know. Needs to go in the summer though, the only role he'll ever really be able to fulfil in Rafa's squad is to be the target man we throw on late when we're chasing a game and need to go two up top. Sell him for whatever we can get and bring in another mobile striker to battle with Gayle for the spot. Murphy will probably suffice for another year as the battering ram option. Of course if Rafa goes then who the fuck knows.

My heart has aids after that.

God the left side of our team is absolute genocide. Really need Atsu back to get Gouffran out of there. I'd love to see Perez get a go out there, only place in Rafa's system that he ever has a chance of succeeding IMO.

Anyone actually reckon Ashley will back down and give Rafa the backing he needs in the summer? Will he fuck. This is all just a matter of time. Was always too good to be true, I guess.

An absolutely worthless pile of shite.

Wait, this is on TV? Why on earth is this on TV?

2m more that stays safely trousered. Result.

Be hilarious if he scored one of the greatest goals of all time right at the end of the game.

I'll be very surprised if he's here beyond the summer of 2018. Assuming we go up Ashley will eventually start acting the rotten cunt once he feels we're looking solidly established in the Premiership. He might give Rafa enough this coming summer to keep him but eventually it'll all go tits up.

Well this is shit.

Lots of things that can complicate these deals. One team wants a loan, other team want permanent deal. Team doesn't want to sell until they have a replacement in. Or just haggling over the price...

Why? Because of the next sentence, basically. Maybe he'll come in and feature a lot but it sounds like he's an erratic type that needs a bit of refinement so I doubt Rafa will throw him in the team any time soon.

Seems odd if it's a loan deal. My guess is he'll hardly feature.

The stories seem to think it's 10m for Coric and 25m for Benkovic... The idea that we'd spend 25m on a defender. Would be nice to see us bring in some top young talent though.

Just have this plaque installed inside his locker IMO http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/509/312/a1e.png

Be amazing if Townsend would only agree to a loan. Could dump him in the summer once we go up then.

That was class. The weight of Sanchez's balls. Was a stonewall penalty like, he fucking kicked him in the face. Offside though of course.
