We tried it a few times today, one awful attempt when Trippier tried to pass it to Isak and passed it straight to them, one where Miggy and Trippier linked up nicely and another second half which was shit. The problem with it is it's so obvious it's always going to Trippier, I'd like us to mix it up a bit.

Bradford v Carlisle ffs ?

7 points for Liverpool means we just need a win (Assuming we stay ahead on GD).

Interesting to see if he'd bench Wilson after scoring another 2, they were both pens which Isak could have easily scored so it would be the right decision. FWIW I don't see him benching either unless SL is back. I think he'll go Isak in behind.

Man City winning CL makes no difference does it?

Not as disappointed as I was last week, we were poor today and I don't think we deserved more than a point. We could have ended up losing that, hopefully we get some help from other teams and win Thurs.

Really surprised Gnonto isn't starting with our lack of pace at the back.

I reckon it will be: Pope Trippier Schar Botman Burn Bruno Joelinton Willock Almiron Isak Gordon But hard to predict the wingers

Hooper is the ref who is usually one of the least card happy refs. Whether that's a bad thing cause he'll let them clatter us all game, or a good thing cause he'll control the game calmer I'm not sure.

I also don't like the group stages with the Europa League. From what I remember the UEFA Cup was just straight KO all the way through wasn't it? It was more fun when it was like that was almost like the CL was group stages and UEFA a straight KO.

Really? Not for me the level of opposition in it is really poor. Plus the LC has history. I'm probably been a bit harsh considering it's only been around a year or so but it just seems a bit of a farce competition to me.

Conference League is a joke competition, what was the point in it? If we won it I wouldn't really see it as a trophy win tbh.

You can say that about any team then, what evidence is there Chelsea will "make it difficult" they've just won their first game in god knows how many games ? Man U have the tamest run in, I still think it will be us and them with Liverpool leaving it a couple of gameweeks too late.

Mentions about us not going for players who see us as a backup, but didn't Botman prefer Milan over us?

Our midfield is going to be fucked if he is. Bruno, Willock and ? Probably Gordon or Anderson looks way too offensive.

Doesn't kick off till 8?

It is but do Leeds have the personnel to make that work? They're not exactly blessed with big powerful players.

If we beat Leeds surely we will do it, Leicester aren't going to get anything at our place.

Who did Longstaff assist?

Leicester are in massive trouble. Their last 3 games are Pool, us and West Ham.

They're not so sure now having another scan Tuesday.

If Longstaff is out for the season we've got no midfielders to allow him to play wide left.

Fuck sake man.

Yeah let's chill. 18 months ago we had fucking Bruce and Ashley. In the worst case scenario that we blow it and come 5th we'll go buy some class players and be challenging at the top again next season (Plus in Europe).

What was he supposed to play with Longstaff out? Would have been Gordon on the left anyway.
