Elanga’s basically English TBF.

We didn’t scam them, the price was right, they just didn’t need him and might not be set up to maximise what he can do.

Letting Diaz go seemed a very weird move considering he was probably playing his best football for them.

If I was Liverpool, yes.

The takes in this thread are getting worse by the hour.

Lay off the smack.

They should go for liquidation.

On paper people like Barnes, Gordon, Ramsey and Wissa should feast off Woltemade’s linkup play.

I think part of our problem was that Bruno in the 6 makes us very vulnerable to counterattacks. Which Tonali stops because he can cover so much ground. I don’t think Tonali is only a number 6.

Yes he is now. But he’s one player and I thought you were making a general point about Howe not trusting young players.

A tiny number of people who entered the original ballot, not everyone.

I agree with the theory, I’m just saying he hasn’t had very many good young players to call on.

Was it Baleba running back with him? Maybe the only player on the pitch he might think he can’t just run past.

Right but I thought you were saying it was significant point, which it isn’t.

He’s had 2 decent young players available to him in his entire NUFC career.

Botman is performing at his level, he’s an elite CB. This is fairly meaningless way to assess players like, it would suggest the manager doesn’t have to do anything to get top players to perform well

I definitely think it’s mental. Adjusting to a new club, making a step up where you might believe you have to try more and push more stuff you wouldn’t do before. Something like that. If Jacob Murphy can be made effective for us then surely Anthony Elanga can.

Wissa and Ramsey are also great signings.

Discussing where to play Woltemade when he’s been mint and scored more than anyone else. A bit unusual IMO.

I can’t imagine there’s any chance of this happening. May as well just not do anything.

Ah yeah, knew I was forgetting someone

I forget Brighton exist until we play them, must be the most nothing club in the league. Tough game though

I actually watch things I used to own on DVD on streaming services now. Mostly free streaming services like iPlayer though.

Was Steve Bruce still in charge though? Seem to remember that was the only snag. Great day though.

Just about managing not to break down crying during that display. Just about.
