I’d go for an actual number 6 and then a top class 8.

I think this is how we'll have to go, and why we need to keep Bruno. We'll basically need to reshape the whole midfield.

Some on GOT believe it’s a done deal for DCL for 25M.

Ashley type move, and, frankly, ill-fitting for a club with our aspirations

Yeah, I well remember us spending £20m+ for a backup striker under Ashley... no wait you're chatting nonsense.

Not sure if posted yet, but he seems to be an excellent shot stopper, and a not so good passer. Bottom 7% of goalkeepers in pass completion percentage. He is 23, so he can still improve somewhat.

 

 

 

That completion percentage is specifically for goal kicks right (that's what the launched is referring to seemingly). Do we know if Valencia are a side that are particularly direct? It could be that he is told to kick long every time which would negatively affect that stat quite a bit.

Why is anyone bothered?

I'm not bothered for me. I got the match for free. It's a piss tale for everyone at the stadium who were told they were going to watch NUFC and got the youth team.

Literally only one senior player on the bench even.

Nearly had a shot! Got them on the ropes.

Can you imagine being an Aussie nufc fan, forking out the money to come watch NUFC play and you get this lineup? I genuinely feel sorry for those at the match.

"He has had to take alot of shots" So does the post and crossbar, but isn't on no where near the wedge he will be on. As per with a few of them sound cheerleaders but not up to standard wish the youth setup was a few more years down the line to provide the padding to the squad. 

Doesn't everyone have a rubbish old goalkeeper as third keeper? Man City have Carson, Liverpool have Adrian.

I hope every single player goes for a panenka.

How yous watching it? Did yous pay? 

It's free for members & season ticket holders.

Doing really well given his technical limitations.

Absolutely fucking done with autocorrect.

Doesn't autocorrect train itself on things you commonly type?

If he has then he's certainly transitioned into less of a Gunt in the process.

Need to ask Beth her opinion on George Michael to confirm.

I’m convinced Crumpy Gunt has transitioned and changed his name to Beth.

Palace turned down £15.5m for Glasner from Bayern. Said they want £86m.

And yet £20m for our director of football is apparently unfair.

This is absurd...at 25 should never be classed as a young player

Foden's 23 isn't he?

very concerning

Does he have a bad reputation? Seemed a decent CV when I looked.

Just now, OCK said:

Random line about us linked with 777 conartist Sporting Director in the BBC Gossip. wtf. 

It's been reported for a few days that it's been him and freeman.

It's funny how Isak has been nominated for the main award and the young player award and I'm not even convinced he's been our best player in both of those categories

 

Pleased for him though

There is just a huge amount of hype around him right now. It's really gone well beyond his actual performances (as much as he's been very good).

Yeah 4 games at 23 this season. Also never a fan of a player being able to win both awards but not sure how you work it though as would be pretty ridiculous to have a situation where Foden lost to Haaland for the main award and was discounted for young player.

At the very least I'd have a max age of 21 at the start of the season.

I feel like it's more ridiculous that Isak is up for young player. He's 25 in September. 

They really need to change this into more of a young breakthrough award.

I think Chelsea are the biggest rivals.  
Spurs remaining fixtures are too easy imo. 

I thought Burnley were in good form?

I am not a man u fan at all but most would agree having personnel missing effects how you play.

To have to play a midfield player in defense must be a nightmare try winning games with longstaff as your CB?

I admit I didn't watch the game and assume it's not the only reason for the loss but to not have a consistent back line can work out OK (did for us with lascelles for botman then BDB for lascelles) but I wonder if we would have faired as well with dummett and Ritchie in the back starting games or as mentioning dropping a midfielder in the back. 

I sorta feel sorry for them but massively benefits us so I can't feel too sorry for them. 

 

 

 

They're missing 3 centre backs and 2 full backs. We're no missing 3 centre backs and two full backs. I think you're being for too kind to them.

If Chelsea pip us. We’ll be relying on Man City winning the FA Cup for European football.

Not sure I'm overly worried about Man City having enough to beat this Man U team.
