Aye Wilson and Isak up top together is an intriguing thought. Targett getting back into the team and playing well would help a lot too.

Being "over the moon" with 8th given the position we're in now Think it's OK to hope for better than what's basically the worst case scenario for the rest of the league campaign. Nobody is going to be calling for Howe be fired or for the club to be sold or anything if the season unravels from here but if you can't see how valuable taking this opportunity and finishing 4th could be then I don't know what to tell you, frankly.

What have I ever done to deserve such treatment?

"No chance of 4th" Half of the forum had us at a 10 on the Relegationometer this time last year.

I'll see to it personally.

He'll end up getting hurt if Man U win, though.

Bringing your mother and girlfriend to meet your internet friends. Fair play

Think we'll be right in this until the last few games. We're definitely having a wobble, setup needs a bit of a tweak. However, all the other teams in the race for 4th (assuming Man U keep it together and stay top four, which isn't a sure thing but seems likely ATM) are pretty badly flawed and I'd be very surprised to see any of them go on a tear.

Looked useful I thought. Adds something fresh to our team, pity we didn't get another player or two who could also do that as we have gone a bit stale.

Aye, he was decent when we just went to a back three in possession but we've started to ask more from him going forward recently and he looks awful tbh.

Looked like peak Shola today He'll be good for us but I do feel like he's not a #9. Might play better just off a front man.

I do look forward to all the posters coming on saying that if only we'd just scored all of our half chances we'd have won today. Our saving grace is that the other teams fighting for 4th don't look great either. We clearly need a bit of a shake up but we didn't get the players in January to do it. Hope to fuck there are no serious injuries today.

Man, that was a chance. Just didn't fall right for them.

Seems to me more like a poor man's Phillipe Albert.

Mental how differently some people see the game, to me this is what you want from ASM. He's actually fucking trying to do things this half. It will often not come off but he's a winger, he's supposed to try things.

Sound, promise not to mindlessly attack you in future Traitors games to show my appreciation

More like it from ASM, needs to be a bit more greedy IMO or there's no point playing him.

You alright me paying on the day too? Irish bank account too so will be a bit of a pain. @Troll

Fuck sake Longstaff, there was no angle there and you had options.

Lovely link up from Gordon and Maxi to start that.

Fucking needed that. Get the fuck in!

Having a big lumbering CB at full back really isn't ideal.

ASM has gone completely too far the other way. He's arguably the best dribbler of the ball in the league and he now refuses to take people on.

Another injury Impressive how quickly we've been fucking rinsed for taking the chance of not doing much in January.

Purple patch does appear to be well and truly over. Annoying that Wilson is fucked again, and all. Can't even go two up front as some sort of solution to how toothless we now look.
