It should’ve been Balogun, but he went to Monaco this last summer. 

Balogun wanted to be a first team player.

Been lots of noise about Nico Williams. His contract expires in the summer too. He might be Barca bound though, despite them having that 16 year old.

It somehow feels like there's a lot of left sided attackers but i struggle to come up with too many for the right. Neto would have been class (injuries though)

Maybe that japanese guy at Sociedad.

 

 

 

We were also linked with Johan Bakayoko at PSV who has looked really good.

There were also some links with Ferran Torres over the summer, who is right footed but is very good on the right side.

Loved the way he tackled Amrabat which was then the assist for Willock's goal.

Please can we all stop the Trips/Tino at LB chat. Its as bad as Schar in Midfield

Not to mention the play Tino further forward stuff as well. My goodness.

Getting someone that contributes more than Wor Miggy is going to cost many, many pounds. Obviously he won't last forever like. 

Our scouting is incredible and there's so many players out there.

We'll find another gem in that 30 to 40 million range that has been unreal for us.

I'd have fancied us there. This is probably Chelsea's one chance of a trophy and they have no Europe. 

Yeah, but have you seen Chelsea try to score goals? 

Their defence can also be got at too.

For me personally, I'd rather face the current Chelsea. They are so young too.

Could see us bully them.

I mean, there were 14 possibilities there and the only 2 scenarios worse than that one would have been Liverpool (A) followed by Liverpool (H).

West Ham are better than Chelsea at the minute man.

Kudus, Bowen, moments of magic from Paqueta and Ward Prowses set pieces worry me more than anything Chelsea does in attack.

Chelsea away is alright IMO.

Would love to crush their spirits next, after killing Man Utd.

Bring it on.

We're getting Fulham away.

He probably covered about half as much ground as he would when on the wing, bit of a night off for him 

Part of the reason he was started upfront I think.

Didn't need to do as much running and graft.

Was still such a good team performance from him.

Involved in lots of interchanges with Almiron, Willock and Joelinton, and constantly threatened in behind which opened up space for us.

Absolutely loved that finish tonight.

The way he placed that with such pace and accuracy on the finish.

Sublime.

Really fancy our chances against Arsenal at home this weekend, off the back of the results tonight.

My God ... absolutely love how we didn't give them a sniff of any kind of hope and just killed the game.

That was a top level performance, with players that are very new to the team still.

Just brilliant.

Joelinton has been incredible tonight, personally my MOTM.

Love the way he just gets moved into different positions when needed and doesn't miss a beat.

Anthony is chronic. Embarrassingly bad at a quarter of the price.

I genuinely can't believe how poor he is. It's astonishing.

Just now, Shearergol said:

Thought he went off ages ago?

Yeah, it was Trippier. My mistake.

Bruno Guimaraes ... midfield master.

So impressed with how we are seeing this game out. 

This is so classy.

Great tackle Ritchie!

Dub's kicking > Pope's kicking

Similar to Lascelles and even Dummet, it looks like a lot of work has been done with players that were not as comfortable on the ball and it's paid dividends.

Bruno just killing the game now with his midfield control.

A Kraft Dummett CB partnership is in complete control at OT

Doesn't even make sense man. It's crazy really.

Can't believe the level of professionalism at the club under Howe.

Guys are just coming in and playing at such a high level.

Ritchie's pace  Like a pensioner 

So pleased with him tonight though.

Has kept it simple and covered for Livramento well, especially when he went forward.

Such a good professional performance 

Just now, Decky said:

Bruno and Wilson coming on.  If either gets a red or injured man.  

He's countering the Man Utd subs so that we don't get over run by Fernandes, Rashford and Hojlund.
