Unbelievable

Yes!

That Hendrick fellow looks absolutely useless. No idea what he is supposed to offer

Wilson looks more confident on his debut than Joelinton has ever been

He has

Not even a shot. Wow

Pen incoming?

Phew

Yep. Look vulnerable at the back though

Wow, Carroll nice move

Damn, was already celebrating

Phew, living dangerously

Max and Lewis look as tasty on the pitch as they do out on track

Is Almiron unfit like? Why would you ever start with Carroll and leave him out? Bringing Almiron on for the last 30 isn't completely crazy. Other way around would make more sense surely?

A last 20 minutes of the game option aye. How is he starting for us?

What kind of player is Hendrick supposed to be?

Phew. Darlow reacted in slow motion it seemed

How is AC getting away with this?

Lascelles under zero pressure gives away a throw in close to our goal. What?

Decent start

Carroll lucky escape there

I don’t know half of our players

Statement makes you wonder when the PL officially rejected the takeover. If recent, which the statement doesn't say but which would be logical given the timing of it, makes you wonder why. The PL didn't have to officially reject the proposal did they, with PIF publicly claiming they had lost interest? The PL had ridden the storm and a new season beckons, so why bring it upon themselves to reject it now and invite formal appeals when they could have just let it die a slow and silent death by doing nothing as they have been doing for the past half year basically? Something fishy going on. I don't want to be overly optimistic, but from the tone of that statement this is far from over.

Permanent please, thank you very much. We finally got rid of Riviere after all those years then replaced him with this lad. Oh what Rafa could have done with 40m.
