Colos Short and Curlies

did we or did they come in after the sales / when the sales were pretty much nailed on? probably 50:50, but we definitely did not go down with a squad that resembled the one that came back up

inundated… how much will you pay us to take him off your hands?

Agreed, but I think there is a good chance that in a year or so we may start seeing the type of chance he pulled wide against Forest going in 4-5 times a season and he will always have a chance of getting a couple of headers. Not implausible that he could become a 10 goal a season midfielder. Just don't give him time to think about what type of shot to make!

They were only one letter out to be fair

IMO that will be where he ends up playing most of his career, and making a pretty good career out of it at the same time

Is Grealish on the right or left for them atm? would expect Trips or Taggs (1980s WWF tag team right there) to give him a little tap for Miggy. Miggy will score the winner as well just for the lols, or maybe Grealish will to run it in

Bottom 3 has a nice look to it this evening

could still do worse as a squad player this year as part of our transition

Four was a decent performance pre Howe

Kinda feel like there are 4/5 away games you expect to get beat in and 4/5 you would expect to win if challenging for Europe. The remaining 10 or so can go either way. Brighton on paper is one of the harder of these 10 and a point is a point gained rather than 2 lost. looking for a performance rather than the result next weekend, then one or 2 additions to make it a solid and decent start to the season

But from 6 YEARS out? That’s got to be pretty low on the xG spectrum

im not sure you can call it a chance at that distance

In theory Willock has the tools to play right in the forward 3. Practice and theory don’t always play out though. one thing I’d like to see us doing is switching wingers during a game. 10-15 mins of ASM feeding off Trippier and Bruno would be fun

even if it then didn’t work out it would be a hell of a statement to have someone choose is over city

turning down Man U more likely

Small thing, but perhaps drop the Notts now that the game is over? Understandable giving it the bigman from their fans before hand (first game back etc) and the wind up totally fair then.

Gone 6th. made on the assumption that one of the 6 club will have a shitter of a season and we sign another striker. 4-6 is much of a muchness points wise but will be a congested fight

Wilson stays fit and we finish above Man Utd

So Ando hating on Miggy today totalling misguided from those who watched the game? suppose Ando gotta Ando

It was one training session, never mind a game!

Some players just dont cut it after a move regardless on what they are/have done in the league. See Sanchez, A as an example

what order did Dalglishs signings come in? Given, Solano, Didi, JDT are a million miles away from the rest, wonder how much of a panic the Barney’s, Rush, Pearce types were. (Although of course Pearce did alright for us)

I was in Kos when Robert signed. Just remember thinking who?

Imagine the summer of 2001 if this place existed when we missed out on Jeffers and Zenden, only to get an unknown from PSG and a striker from a relegated club who only scored 6 goals that year.

An excellent drive into the box for the pen. we’ve been short on players willing to do that for ages
