This is the only explanation I can think of. We’re never going to get details about this kind of thing, so just have to trust I suppose.

Can only imagine Tonali is due to physical data or something. Otherwise it’s poor decision and very disappointing for the crowd as well. But who knows.

And we give the ball away and attacks break down a lot more on the right due to Murphy and Longstaff.

Can’t imagine anything better than a job you only have to do for a couple of years and you’re set for life when you get sacked.

Forced to sell Isak within 24 months basically means he’s got a long contract and there’s no need to do anything yet

Let’s be honest, we haven’t a clue what most managers are even trying tactically. Was Wenger not good tactically?

I don’t think it’s guaranteed they’re suddenly going to be good.

I need to watch more closely, I haven't really noticed him doing that much wrong.

Motivation is pointless without tactics though. Howe could have the players absolutely hyped every week but we'd still get destroyed if we didn't know what we were trying to do. Makes no sense.

There's no chance we sign him, wasn't it just a random press link? We don't have to always had a really injury-prone striker in the squad, it's not a rule.

Doesn't seem any doubt that he'll become a permanent LB to me. He'll come inside to make an extra midfielder at times because he's so comfortable on the ball.

We need a Wilson replacement if we don’t have Wilson.

Why would it be nailed on to sign DCL?

Guess he’d have come on if we needed a goal.

It’s interesting that we’re now moving Gordon but not so we can play Barnes.

He was decent, he arrived in the right place at the right time a few times, mainly to collect a loose ball where someone else had made a mistake or a press. Made a few mistakes as well. I’m trying not to fixate on his mistakes and try to see more of the things people say he does.

Notice they have the kiosk under the stand open after the match now, but sadly it's impossible to browse or shop at because tens of thousands of people are streaming past.

That's been the case for the last 3 games, they were all tough fixtures. Have a bit more confidence for this one after last night though.

In a way, but a lot of them seem to want stability off the pitch and they're not really able to go out clubbing every night. Staying single easy, dating loads of people probably very difficult. If you want to be a good professional anyway.

Should be great for his career

I think both are similar TBH, Tonali is press-resistance in that he's great at popping the ball off quickly and not allowing people to close him down.

Yeah maybe, but the point is they could buy two players in the same position for £100m each.

He’s not going to last if he can’t kick or dominate the box.

Noticed Bruno had a word when he came on and Pope caught the next corner. I don’t know why he’s flapping and punching so much, some of them look fairly easy catches.

Man Utd maybe but none of the rest.
