Froggy is the king of baiting. "Will just compare him to lingard and see how they react"....

I'd like as many people as possible to do their own calculator. See where we land.

I've done the predictor thing 3 times over the last two weeks, and each time I've ended up with us 6 points above Spurs. I've even put us getting beat against Villa and Arsenal, and drawing against Brighton and Chelsea. I feel like I'm doing it wrong. Spurs have Man United and Liverpool. I think that's their killer.

Need half time.

Arteta playing Eddie ball here.

Jesus dive.

Could be any score this.

That kind of wage.

Why? Because its Liverpool. We need to start thinking bigger. Robertson might not want the move but we'd have CL football. I was told for years that offering CL football meant the world to footballers.

Get in.

Arsenal should be looking to keep the ball and picking Liverpool off.

I'm all for signing young players but we shouldn't forget what impact Tripper made. I just hope the club are on top of all age groups.

You know as well as I do that Isak is a much better player than Martial. In another world, where Martial was injury free and in top form, he'd have been a great striker in this league though. Too little too late from him. Man United will sign someone in the summer. They will be in business then.

This Liverpool side couldn't put a run together if they were sponsored by Bupa.

If we make CL. Test Liverpool with 40m for Andy Robertson. He's 29, will still get 4/5 good years from him. He's on 100k, which we could afford. He might be ready for new challenge. Him and Trippier as fuck backs.

Man United wish they had someone as good as Isak.

Both are fantastic. Neither fee is excessive.

Leeds will be a tough game for us and for anyone for that matter. So energetic and they have a hostile ground.

Easy to forget, looking at his win percentage, that it took him a while to get the team going.

Chelsea are Everton on steroids.

Should certainly be a box that needs ticked.

I also think Arteta is probably completely different away from the touchline. Watched the arsenal documentary and he seemed generally OK.

Arsenal and City are actually two of the sides I have the least dislike for.

In terms of recruitment, we should try and look at things through this lense: "which injury would cost us the most?" Right now Bruno is the player which is irreplaceable. We'd be a different prospect with someone who has anywhere near Brunos quality in the middle. It doesn't matter if DM or AM, just someone with real quality. Palhinha would be my choice. After that, I think it's CB. We lose Schar or Botman and we are down to Burn or worse Lascelles. Therefore a RCB is next in line. 3rd on the list, I think we need to look for a striker/versatile forward. If Isak gets a layoff, we are down to Wilson on his own, with noone on the bench. Look how many points we've gained from having impactful subs. We need a 3rd option.

If you watch closely, he's already shaped his body to shoot before Wilson passes to him. Its like his body language is telling Wilson exactly where he wants the ball and of course Wilson being a striker, knows exactly what he wants.
