That goal is unforgivable I’m sorry

Can’t say I disagree with any of that - actually a really good profile of player with an incredible upside - kind of the profile of player we needed aswell

He blows as soon as our player receives the ball having watched it back

At the end - we have the ball in a 2 v 1 - ref looks at this and blows whistle

Absolute joke VVD on Gordon Foul on Isak Mac Allister 2 yellows Counter at the end Then they have the nerve to surround the ref when the ball hits Burn in the stomach

Every single time - so jammy

That’s fair enough and was sort of the point I was trying to make - the club drives the scouting - sit down with Howe and work with him from that list - who is on the list shouldn’t involve Howe but ensure that he gets all the information he needs

In reality the way this should work is that they should be identifying positions - CB/RW (likely departures of Wilson/Miggy/Tripps) - scout the players - recommend the CB/RW to Howe from the list - get his viewpoint - then collectively reach a decision - that’s how the sporting model should work - it should continue with or without Howe, so the next manager isn’t saturated with Howe signings (bit like Man U with Ten Haag) - you work with the clubs project

That’s a fair summary tbh - bloke is 32, gives his absolute all - I can’t ask for much more - whether he’s good or indifferent Being hyper critical - stick to the defensive line - too often he’s caught in no man’s land and it led to 2/3 Palace chances. A couple of instances he followed Marteta all th way up the pitch for no reason, lead to us being exposed to a counter over the top

Why is Burn always up the pitch?

Every counter against us always comes from a poor set piece delivery on our part - every single time

Is there anything for us that’s working?

Take that fucking football table away

100% no to Tavernier FWIW - I would love to sign an inverted winger on the right - sort of in the mould of Kubo and Roony - just gives you that bit of creativity. Kubo fits that mould so well and is someone that the likes of Isak will benefit from.

“Tonight Eddie I am going to be Franco Baresi”

This - we are crying out for a formation change - 4231 - Bruno and Tonali as the 2 - Big Joe ahead as the freelance 10 - Gordon left and Barnes right

This 100% - a couple of yellow walls - NUFC version would be incredible or 2 behind the goal stands that look different but bring noise. A bit controversial but I would hope the new stadium has a (indoor) roof - would increase the decibels still further and make our stadium unique amongst PL rivals - plus in can then be completely multipurpose

Doesn’t help when you have a prat on the other wing who plays for himself and an attacking mid who thinks he’s Zidane Hall been canny though

He’s also one of those rare players that is completely two footed

I’d take a punt on him as our new Jacob Murphy - maybe a change of environment is the making of him - has so much upside

Anyone seen the Ryan Cherki assist v Italy?

“Doesn’t look too serious…”

Bernie Ecclestone the Greek coach?

Caqueret would be a fantastic signing (although I would love us to sign Emmanuele Ricci from Torino) Yeah Cherki - although supremely gifted, just doesn’t have to the work rate

Shame - I’ll take Caqueret and Cherki please
