This - such a poor start - clumsy as anything with our play

Fkn buy a pair without laces if you don’t know how to tie them or practice in your own time

A classic case of a player needing time to play a completely different style, intensity and different players - it will come good for him

A formula 1 team can refuel and change all 4 tyres in BOTH their cars within that time

Malick Thiaw Shall Not Pass

People will laugh but I thought Willock kind of freed him up a bit today - decent combination to give us something different

He’ll be fine - it’s not as if he’s being coached by a dud - he isn’t as bad as being made out - slowly but surely you’ll see the best of him

Very promising performance - think Big Nick suits his game - was very close to him at times

Basically the chance Isak missed in the cup final

Pretty sure the guy from the blog was just saying he’d be someone that would suit us (we aren’t linked with him)

He’s a RB/CB - so covers 2 spots

Fell into the trap of playing pissy little 5 yard passes that look amazing in the eye but achieve jack all - quite a good summery of Man C as a collection

They are so slow and ponderous - waste so much time pissing around with the bell and going nowhere

I thought he was good yesterday - his shielding of the ball and laying it off simply was very good.- sprayed the ball wide quite nicely in the 1st half too Positionally I would prefer him to drop a bit deeper and cover Burn (and Hall/Tino in the long term) - allow Bruno to make them forward runs

Yeah I know he’s off - making a general point about his play

Wirtz plays the invisible role really well

Hopefully years

He can 100% do a job there given his mobility and technique on the ball

Last 20 mins was our attack and defence Simply brilliant again

Plus both are old Trippiers legs have gone - he is doing his best but has clearly dropped his level with age

I agree - but this will all come eventually - for a new kid he’s been exceptional thus far - just needs patience

He’s such a fascinating player in the sense that I want to see how Eddie sets the team up around him. Elanga was bought to supply a 9 - not in the Big Nick mould so it’s kind of impacted him - just in the short term as I think playing with Big Nick will add a new dimension to his game Gordon seems to be clicking with him, as does Bruno and possibly Ramsey - He’s got a decent understanding with Barnes and Murphy too The player who may be under threat is possibly Big Joe - I personally want to see Miley as 6 and Tonali in his Italy role to the left - Ramsey can also be this

EH was asked about him in the Brighton press conference - said he was injured (not that Harrison Ashby and the word injured in the same sentence are a surprise)

I will always hold a grudge against yesterdays ref

That’s the Gordon we want to see The time in the 1st half when he ran inside from the touchline to the middle of the pitch just to toe poke the ball away from the opponent- that’s when you know he’s on it I want to see the rampaging version of this guy - he’ll easily get 12-15 G/As in the league with that mentality
