Another season seems reasonable. Would prefer Tino to be 1st choice with Trippier stepping in for rotation/rest.

Nice little morale booster from Jackson

I hope you're right

Still think people are way too optimistic that we'll somehow magically be able to attract any interest in Wilson that Wilson also would be interested in. Nobody will be willing to offer anything meaningful to us, and nobody would risk committing to the wages he'd want. He's too old and too injury prone. If we're desperate and want to push him out, we might be able to find someone willing to pay his wages if we let him go for free imo.

Thought I saw a stat somewhere saying he was the one who ran the most out of everyone on the pitch yesterday?

Fulham with another one. Nice with some air between us and Wham.

Flawless performance from Howe today. Even down to the subs and timing of them.

Our press has been absolutely magnificent today.

Romero red card incoming. Can just feel it.

Gillespie Ramage - Edgar - Taylor - Huntington Longstaff - Miley - Anderson Murphy - Isak - Pattison

Ederson has Joelintons finishing as well.

Ederson is just shadowing MacAllister.

Just a reminder that a lot of people were happy when Longstaff came back start of the season as Tonali wasn't playing very well beyond his debut, and we saw a clear improvement in performance results. Not saying Longstaff is the solution to our best XI, but fully fit he can be a valuable squad member with added benefit of being home grown for European competition.

Think it would be a huge mistake to sell him. He's got the traits for our style of play which is fairly uncommon to find in top level wingers, he's quick, eye for goal and a pass and his name is fucking Minteh. Match made in heaven.

Very similar to Bruno how he gets his body between the opposition and the ball, only that he's twice as fast as him.

Spread your wings and fly, my parrot friend.

He probably wouldn't qualify automatically for not playing 75% of the games for Gambia the last 2 years or whatever the requirement is these days, but the club can request an FA Exceptions Panel to "consider the player’s experience and value in order to determine whether a Governing Body Endorsement should nevertheless be granted." and assume he'd get it after going through that process.

Richarlison is back for this game meaning they will be at full strength. I'm not so worried about the first half as I am in the second half when they can sub on the likes of Kulusevski (or Johnson depending on whom starts), Bentancour, Werner, Lo Celso, Dragusin, Højbjerg, Emerson & Davis against tired legs while we can put on one of Barnes or Murphy depending on whom starts before needing to turn to childeren and pensioners. If we can shock them early on with hopefully more than one goal, I can see us being able to hang on to something. If it's even or they are up at half time I can't see us getting anything.

Better quality. Minteh involved in quite a few chances that didn't lead to goal too. Looks so fucking fast when he accelerates. Like he has boosters

Best case scenario we get European competition next season. We sell one of Murphy or Almiron and buy a new RW. 1st choice - New RW 2nd choice - Minteh 3rd choice cover for both RW & LW - Murphy or Almiron

Only 2 points to 6th, and Liverpools title chance took a hit. Nice start to the football day. Now if Sheffield United could kick lumps out of Chelsea in a gritty 1-0 victory and Nottingham Forest injures a key player or two from Tottenham.

Think I might be willing to sacrifice a trophyless Liverpool on their farewell tour season for us finishing 6th above Man Utd. Edit: nvm - just remembered they won the league cup. Fuck Man Utd in that case.
