SUPERTOON

We did apparently bid for him under Ashley/Bruce. Apparently being the key word

Have a day off mate.

His wages are astronomical apparently.

As long as we get Howe back, I’m confident this will offer a reset for the last few games. I’d worry if he wasn’t back for the run in though.

Still think 6 points from the last 3 is a good return. Must win against Ipswich of course.

Just waiting for Matt to show up on here now.

Them being on loan has nothing to do with the point I was making though. I said their options of the bench are much stronger than ours. Loans or not, it is, I said a few weeks ago it’s a miracle we are this high in the league given our squad.

They can call on Rashford, Malen, Onana, Ramsey, Bailey, Barkley, Digne. We have Gordon. It may be borrowed but that bench is light years away from what we can bring on.

A game that perfectly highlights the difference in their squad to ours btw. We can only dream of making the changes they can.

Rather europa anyway

Hope we get Howe back soon, Tindall has done admirably in his absence, but you need your manager in the situation we are in.

We have also battered them pretty regularly tbf.

No complaints really after the run we have been on. Just hope we can find a few more wins to get champions league football.

This one was always going to be a tough ask, especially without Howe.

Deserved, they have been by far the better side.

Playing them on the counter with our speed would be the way I would go tbh.

This is where we could do with Howe. Definitely more goals in it for us, however I’d be amazed if they don’t get at least one more.

Not ideal giving them an early goal. Long way back.

18 isn’t it ?

We look pretty much nailed for Europa at worst now ? Assuming Palace don’t win the cup ?

Feel like this is one we may miss Howe. Emery is very good tactically and their bench means they can change the game if needed. A point would be fantastic.

Hope we get to see him pre season before he goes out on loan.

Matt Ritchie goal for Portsmouth.

Based on what Howe said a couple of weeks ago.
