Ronaldo

If Hope is telling lies he needs calling out. SAF would have him hanging upside down with a fucking fork up his ass.

Bruno for those probably, or Longstaff.

Given that it’s always Trippier or Schar now that probably doesn’t need answering.

We’re just naming great players we don’t like personally now.

Declan Rice.

Someone will be mentioning Rooney soon, at this rate.

This.

I worry about our creativity should he leave. We’ll have eff all down the right. I like Livramento but he’s not at the stage yet where he can be expected to compensate for Almiron’s brainlessness and poor execution. I wouldn’t be remotely surprised if he left and I can’t really articulate why even though in theory it’s come way out of left field.

Strange thread this.

Nonsense. And 102 assists certainly says otherwise. He’d walk into any midfield we’ve had in the past 30 years and you know that.

Steven Taylor. Useless.

Hopefully be on the bench for the Luton game which is obviously a must win.

CL aside obvs. You’ve picked some disastrous examples there, mind. We beat Man City in the cup under Ashley. Beat Man U at home multiple times too. And always seemed to do Chelsea at SJP.

This season from the Liverpool home game onwards has felt a fair bit like the Ashley era.

No. I’d play him RW away from home and LW at SJP, generally speaking. Rotation is good.

Best midfield 3 is Bruno, Tonali and 1 of Willock and Joelinton - with 1 of them playing LW and alternating.

Yeah there’s no way Gordon’s value is lower than Joelinton’s. He’s got what, 8 league goals and 6 assists if you included penalties won? Worth £60m easily.

Attacked by a Ghana fan after they lost to Cape Verde yesterday. Unbelievable.

It’s his song.

When we’re fatigued we’re especially terrible though. Incapable of doing anything but surrendering possession and playing backs to the wall, which completely ends us as an attacking threat and inevitably results in us conceding at least a goal or 2. That’s what needs addressing because fatigue will always be a factor even with a fully fit squad and every side needs a plan B.

I’d love to know the name of the utter prick who held up the Pardew back from the dead sign up. Our fans were a disgrace from 2013-2016.

We just need another option. Both Longstaff and Miley getting 20+ games each in midfield is a disgrace.

Saying he gets the whole of next season regardless of results in the next 18 months is absurd, mind. No manger should be afforded that amount of time with carte blanche unless they’re Pep or Ancelotti. I love Eddie but he hasn’t proved or even suggested he’s anywhere near that level on his best day.

He’s going to need it because we’ll be bottom half soon which, to be honest, isn’t remotely acceptable with the money that’s been spent on a side that finished midtable under Bruce.

Shame but Longstaff and Miley up against Rodri and De Bruyne was only going to end one way. We need a midfielder desperately.
