Just do the surgery now. Surely if most people on here can see he is injured, then our opponents sure as hell do too. We can't afford to play 10v11 for the last games hoping Isaks aura alone is going to magically gift us the goals we need. We've got other players that are capable of hitting a penalty. Give Osula rest of the season to prove he is capable of being a reliable squad player.

They'll be expecting the 5-4-1. Hopefully Howe is preparing his UNO reverse card to make their entire preparation for this game useless.

A one legged Isak is preferred ahead of May 2025 version of Wilson. I don't think his name alone is enough to get an automatic start. He is a passenger right now just like Wilson would be. I know Howe would never do it, but I'd be way more confident in getting results with someone that can run up top i.e Gordon or Osula.

Genuinely wouldn't mind if he didn't play for the remainder of the season if his injury persists. Rest of the team is carrying him on their shoulders atm in the hope that they can provide him with an easy tap in or a penalty. Or, I would mind since it would mean Wilson starts instead. I wouldn't mind if it was Osula or Gordon up top for the last two games.

haha get him young Miley

The players seems as nervous as we are ffs kill the game please

Ramsdale looks like a nervous wreck. Just refuses to catch the ball no matter what.

Neither Arsenal and Man City play a way where they need out and out strikers though. Haaland scores goals, but can't help but feel despite the goals his net contribution to the team is negative with his average 3.5 touches of the ball every game.

Fuck Southampton for hanging on just about long enough to give me false hopes

Derby got ruined by his failed promotion push. He played really naive football at Chelsea, almost like you'd imagine Steve Bruce would have. Everton had much higher expectations to him than saving their skin with one game left of the season. Shit. Manager.

6 months worth of results vs previous 5 years. Sure good point.

Didn't know Coventry was so desperate/dumb that they had hired Frank Lampard Win win no matter how this goes.

Howe shitting on the kids for heading the ball too much

I read it as the 3 + 0.8 being included in the 14.5 + 2.7. If the 6.5 add-on is achieved it would put the total at 23.7 which is well beyond 20m. Why not write "well beyond 25m" if the total was 27.5...? Either way it's a great deal for us.

How do you make that out when it literally says in the end "...which could increase the overall outlay well beyond 20 million"?

With our midfield 3 it should be possible to man mark certain players at all times of the game. There's not many players I'd stick one of our players on at all times, but Palmer is one of them. Been screaming at the screen more than once when he's found space between our lines and seemingly nobody catching him until its too late. The other player I can think of is Rodri. He's always where the ball is somehow, so why not ensure we always have a player where the ball will end up too?

I'm fairly certain he is the player opponents hate facing the most out of all our players.

I quite like that we're not taking the when they go low we go lower approach. Feel confident we'll be challenging on all fronts eventually anyway, just not as fast as some had hoped when PIF bought us.

Fantastic player who's tailor made for Howe's style. That being said, I doubt he'd match Murphys output this season had he stayed, and would have struggled to get the playing time he wanted so in hindsight it was probably in his best interest too to make the move. Shame it wasn't just a season long loan.

real madrid don't sign that type of players for transfer fees. If they are genuinely interested Perez will be tapping him up for years so he joins on a free when his contract is up.

Happy with a point. Move on to Chelsea.

drama queen.

Crazy putting Wilson on ahead of Osula imo. Hope Howe makes me eat my words here.

According to Lee Ryder

Probably the same people screaming for Saudi clubs to loan us players for free or buy our shit for obscene amounts.
