Think Joelintons too exhausted at the moment to be effective.

Would like Joelinton off for Osula or Almiron, with Willock in midfield.

Think my favorite dribble at the moment is Brunos little dink of the ball to float past literally any player despite being severely outmatched for speed. One of those things where I don't really understand how he does it.

Get Willock and Livramento on. Counter these fuckers to painful death.

Can it be so simple that Gordon needed confirmation of his future? He's working hard off the ball, clapping and encouraging passes from team mates and ordering them to get in position/cover other players. Only 8 minutes in I know, but haven't seen this Gordon so far this season.

Fuck It's not treatable if I've understood correctly, just managed until it can't any longer?

He didn't train ahead of the Fulham game either and was really poor. Doesn't seem like we've learned any lessons from last season if we pump him up with meds & throw him on from the start. Depends on the severity of course, but you can't really treat a fracture with anything other than rest no. Don't know about the risks of making it worse or prolonging the healing process by playing, but seems obvious to me at least that it isn't recommended. Surely he is exposed to making things even worse if he hits his toe hard during the game.

We've got Osula as 3rd choice, which is more than most clubs has. There has to be a point where you can't blame the transfer window anymore. If Osula gets injured, do we criticize the transfers because we didn't bring in a 4th striker for one position? If we did, and he got injured as well, do we continue blaming the transfers because we didn't buy a 5th, 6th, 7th choice striker?

It really doesn't Head turned by Liverpool - only rumours. Nobody has confirmed that he wanted to leave and that Liverpool showed genuine interest in him (which conflicts with the rumours that Gordon was lobbying to get Guehi to Newcastle) Disappointed with little or not progress with new contract that may or may not have been promised. Nobody has confirmed this either. Disappointed at no big signings this summer. Again, not confirmed. Or it could be a combination of any of the above .....or that he is simply out of form and struggling to get back into it. Seems the most plausible explanation until we have more solid proof of anything else.

Bodø/Glimt with another big European scalp.

The amount of times I've read this on here recently in relation to certain players, Howe, Howe "vs" Mitchell, the team.... We're a broken fan base is the most likely explanation imo.

It's both at the same time. It's positive in the sense that Howe recognizes the need to change things up, and does so much earlier than he's done before, but it's negative because the team isn't performing as planned and/or was wrong from the beginning.

#TeamAdamP get that money son The real losers are the ones that takes the bite and at the same time gives him views, clicks, comments etc.

Rodri is such a huge miss for them. Can't help getting naively optimistic for this He's everywhere when we play them. The ball seems to fall into his feet no matter where he is and never loses it.

Fans demanding transparency. Fans demanding blood after one sub-par transfer window, so Mitchell is thrown to the wolves after not fixing all our issues within 2 months of joining the club.

Arsenal are going to end this match with less than 10 men. Hopefully with 0 points back to London as well.

This is probably the dumbest fucking shit I've seen on here in a long time. Craig Hope playing KI like a fiddle.

How did you survive the Ashley years?

The fitness thing where he apparently had/has to gain fitness through playing matches feels a bit like a convenient excuse to protect the player imo. He's had two weeks off(?) after playing a full season with two cups and European football, with international competitions either side of the season. Surely, even if not playing while on England duty you do some training, and how much fitness do you lose in two weeks? I'm assuming he didn't go on a full blown calorie orgy while being strapped to a chair in front of his tv with zero movement in those two weeks. He's too professional to let himself go completely, and even if he did, the body can only stagnate so much in so little time.

Valid criticism sure. We haven't played well for more than 20-30 minutes in any of the matches so far. There's a lot of people discussing him getting sacked, or that he's hit his ceiling, or that he wants to leave for England and speculating once more if the results and performances are because of one interview Paul Mitchell did weeks ago ONE LOSS!

We've lost one game

Howe was straight on him to give him a pat on the back and seemingly some encouraging words at half time, but tune changed when he was taking him off, clearly signalling to him to hurry the fuck up as he was strolling off at a time we were chasing the equalizer.

yup
