  1. Good centre backs go in pairs and compliment each other. Botman and Schar both have different attributes but they gel and get the best out of each other.
  2. I'd find that far worse, just not knowing what's going on when you could be watching every minute. I'm a bundle of nerves now
  3. Yes, I've not lived up north for nearly 50 years but still feel the same. My brother, who is 87 is the same. If we lose he just goes to bed and won't eat his tea 😂
  4. Not been able to sleep for thinking about this game. I'm nearly 80 years old and thought I might have grown out of it but no, it's as bad as ever.
  5. As Eddie says, Longstaff gives us balance in midfield. I don't think that it's his individual brilliance that we miss because he does spurn quiet a few decent chances. Schar played on midfield in an international and he was dreadful so I don't see that being tried. I believe that Bruno was exceptional until quite recently and it was a large part of our success but now he seems to be struggling and it's really hurting us
  6. Brighton have no more experience than us in big games so they should be feeling the pressure as much as us

    Nick Pope

    You'd expect with the height of Botman and Burn that they'd get on the end of a few of our corners but it rarely happens. Lascelles used to get on the end of a few and score a couple of goals
  8. Eddie has already said that he needs a full pre season to get up to speed and fully understand our way of playing. I think a lot of the criticism on here and other sites is unfair. Eddie obviously sees a lot of potential in the lad so give him time.
  9. Was it a Leeds fan that got to Eddie or one of ours?
  10. Loads of people have been crying out to play Wilson and Isak together now it was a stupid idea . Trippier being assigned to the bin and Almiron lead footed. Sometimes things just click, like Joelinton in midfield and you are seen as a hero. Eddie has done a fantastic job this season and he is learning all the time and without Trippiers early season performances we wouldn't be where we are
  11. Disappointed yes, but those players must never have experienced this sort of pressure before. People on Twitter saying Howe should be sacked/replaced if the club want to move on. It beggars belief
  12. I don't know why but I'm more concerned about this than any previous fixtures
  13. I'd be seriously pissed off if Big Sam stopped us from getting the 3 points here
  14. If Big Sam gets anything Frome this game he'll be like a dog with two cocks
  15. Pope makes some great saves but frightens me to death when he has the ball at his feet.
  16. I just hope we don't do back passes to Pope too often. I'm crapping myself for tomorrows game
  17. We need a result tomorrow to discourage those teams bunching up behind us
  18. Big Sam's got Pep on the ropes
  19. Must admit that I was neutral but I wasn't aware of how he'd used his time after leaving Bournemouth to learn and improve. Trippier says that Eddie spent a period at AC Milan while he was there and that they had spent a lot of time together. He travelled to learn from different coaches and I really admire him for that.
  20. When Arsenal are good they are very good so we need to be at our best, especially defensively. I think we are stronger up front, Jesus I don't rate at all and never did. His strongest point is getting his eyebrows to point to the sky
  21. Surprised he never added Howe to the list of those who he's better than. "I'm better than that little upstart Eddie Howe as well, he just doesn't have my experience and knowledge"
  22. Leeds could stay up despite big Sam. Southampton are down and Everton and Leicester just can't seem to pick up points and have a tough run in.
