Conjo

He's standing in the right area, but his body moves like an old war ship in slow seas. The time he takes to get up after diving man

Really strangling the cat on this one

I hope we win this one.

Why? He took a reduced wage during ban, extended his contract, focused on improving himself when he was off, has played like a gladiator almost every single game since he came back and is refreshingly honest about the possibility that he might go elsewhere sometime in the future. He owes us nothing as far as I'm concerned.

I don't think Wissa and Woltemade will play much together as many on here seem to want. Howe has alluded to this himself in a recent interview. It'll be like when Isak and Wilson were both injury free, or if Barnes and Gordon are unavailable Wissa will slot into the left forward position.

I will say though, it's cool to play so many different teams rather than 3 teams twice.

Coefficient points, prize money, we are not mathematically guaranteed a play-off spot yet and also have the chance to avoid having to play two additional games in an already stacked season. I don't like the format, but there's a lot to play for.

GG Not the best 1st half beyond Burns banana header. 2nd half very comfortable. Now convert this into league form too please.

Will feel awful on their behalf if they don't win now after having taken the lead 4 times.

and he could have had two assists.

Hall, Miley & Elanga coming on. Niccce.

Avgerage height in their team is 1,50 so understandable. Itsy bitsy tiny spaniards.

Bilbaos passing has turned to shit, and ours is pretty good now.

Hall, Miley and Kraft passing the ball amongst themselves during HT better than any of our players has in the first half. Get them on.

We have wide forwards for that, and they have been running behind a couple of times the first half creating some dangerous situations.

Was he though? Looked to me like a bruised rib after blocking the bilbao fullbacks cross. Was holding the same side.

Don't think its his hip. He's holding the side where the Bilbao defender just shot the ball into him. Good for us in this game tbh.

Gordon will score a fairly easy goal. Keeps his place in the team. Stinks out the next game too.

Who said Thiaw couldn't pass like Schar?

It's official then. He is our new Jonjo Shelvey. Shame.

Of the different reasons as to why he's been put on gardening leave, that is the least plausible explenation.

The trip down the league system didn't rid the mackems of the filthy fans throwing their rubbish onto the pitch I see.

I think Howe can be pretty brutal with the players when they're not performing. He just doesn't do it in front of cameras like the two knobheads you refer to above.

Both the unnecessary punch and attempted save for West Hams first was poor. Don't even know what to say about their third He's so stiff and awkward. Doesn't look like a person that's been doing sports his whole life. Hopefully this game together with Ramsdales excellent performance against Spurs we can see how the team performs a couple of games now with a keeper the entire team doesn't dread passing the ball back to.
