Fucks sake

Feels weird going into an away team against a European rival as the clear favourites. Things have changed so quickly Going for a nervy 2-1 win for us. Won't be easy, we'll have a few last minute blocks and defensive heroics keeping us in it. Ultimately our midfield and attack will be too much for them and we'll come out on top

And look how it's turned out. He knows what he's doing. Easing Tonali into a role which requires huge tactical discipline is not the same as dropping one of our best performing players to accommodate a player that has done great at CB but has clear weaknesses at LB. Hall isn't getting dropped for Burn outside of the occasional resting. I think it's possible, even likely that Botman will have to fight for a starting spot with Burn given how well he's done at CB. Before long it'll be Sven's again but I wouldn't be at all shocked if even when fit he's not an immediate starter every game.

"Howe loves Longstaff, he'll never, ever drop him. You know how he loves his favourites". Oh... oh wait.

Definitely. He's proven a very capable deputy under Howe and can cover 2 positions we always seem to pick up injuries in

For the benefit of new posters, a handy rule of thumb is that if this total parody agrees with you, you've gone down a dodgy path.

Never leave us Edward

Stressful 2nd half, but looked really controlled at times. Obviously blew them away first 30. Fucking get in, love that to round out the year

Gutting for Tripps, he's been so solid the last few games.

Brilliant first 25. Shaky last 20. Kick up the ass at half time, 3rd goal nice and early to break their spirits would go down a treat

How did Sandro not score there

Fucking lolllllll

God we're tearing this cunts apart at the moment

Ahahaha yesssss

Emery not even reacting to that is a bit embarrassing as well. You'd think if that was Howe he'd have an arm around him taking a bit of control over the situation, not sat pretending he can't see it to avoid confrontation

Ohhhh Haydn going to be big mad

Show the tunnel footage Amazon you fucking cowards

Emery has lost it here

He's just served a ban for 5, he's fine

Looked surprisingly sharp. At his best he's a real asset, be delighted if he can get back to that level

Watched with my Dad who used to like football but gets proper frustrated at all the diving etc. so doesn't anymore Even he thought it was vicious and absolutely a red

Only winning by 3 against 10 men? Not the record of a born winner imo

God we are so fucking good

Happy fucking Christmas

There it fucking is. Finishhhhhh
