He's always going to give the ball away a few times, the things he's trying to do are just low percentage plays a lot of the time. Chris Wood can pop the ball 20 yards back to where it came from with ease, I don't want Chris Wood.

Thought him and Gordon were fine to good when they came on. Was actually pleased Woltemade was left on up front as well.

Nice to know it's physically possible for Dan Burn to be fouled.

TBH I think people always get overly negative about anyone who’s injured.

Van Dijk and injuries I’d guess.

I just don't see all these times he's played badly. The team was playing shite and he got exposed a couple of times, that's it. There's no reason at all to reassess his level IMO, he's an elite CB. If he's asking for unreasonable wages etc, fair enough, but that's a different question to whether he's class at football.

He might like the look of someone else's bench.

That's more a stylistic preference though, rather than who is the best manager or coach. Pep's style (or his early style) requires incredibly detailed work and he's reinvented football a couple of times over, especially reinventing successful teams. Entertainment sure, if you prefer Klopp's style then that's fine. Personally I love grinding people down with excessive possession

Well obviously it's debatable, there's never going to be a clear best manager ever

Pep's probably the best manager ever, never mind in the PL now. Of course he has had great assets, but the best managers tend to get picked by the top clubs.

This is my feeling, but I'm still confident in at least half my brain.

Surprised to hear that, but fair enough.

We’re not going to spend money on a third striker.

But he's already been injured, don't think we can assume he's going to be continuously injured.

Emery being rated above Howe is quite strange to me.

I would personally pick Botman but you can't begrudge Howe for picking Burn with the way he's playing at the moment. Either way Botman is a great CB.

Yeah quite possibly, I'm certainly happy with Burn playing as long as it's at LCB. But we should keep Botman and have him as the successor IMO.

Hmm, a real injury then.

I've had my favourite one against a wall for two games in a row now, don't even need to get up for people leaving. The dream.

Would be laverly to destroy these boys convincingly.

It's not him that should be turning it down.

I think we really underrate how good Botman is. Could play for anyone in the PL with ease IMO. Thiaw and Botman should be the main pairing for years to come.

Ah good point.

I didn’t get the number code last time, just the slider. This time I had already done the slider and then the page spontaneously reloaded about 20 minutes later to present the number code. Maybe they’re mixing it up to catch us.

Good news for us but a shame for him I guess.
