Doubts crept in after a few months TBH, I’m not sure there’s much they can do about fans being idiots.

So funny that he got an assist while trying to pull the ball down for himself in an impossible situation.

I was worried about the rumour until I went back and saw that it said he’s a target in January FWIW there’s no reason to think Botman is unhappy about how he’s been managed recently. He’s had serious injuries, he’s now back and playing brilliantly. I don’t think football now works on the basis of ‘play me 90mins every game or I’m pissed off’. Not for anyone with a brain.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up looking at younger CBs to back up to Botman and Thiaw as first choices.

Great

This isn’t the Isak thread mate.

He's never really been shit, he's just a comedy character for some reason.

AKA football.

Wish we would relax about players getting called up to international teams

Said it when he first came into the squad that he should've been played deeper and told to do a job in midfield rather than made the #10 and had the team built around him.

Whether or not Ange is ultimately a decent manager or not, I don't know. The more important point is that he's currently at a very difficult and possibly unsalvageable point in his PL career and appointing him to succeed Nuno was an idiotic thing to do.

I’ve got a red Mallorca training top, size L. Bit snug for me at the moment.

Young Ruud van Nistelrooy at the front?

I would see this as a great chance to play the same front 3 again, particularly with Elanga facing his old club.

Was the goal a miss-hit that popped over the keeper off the defender’s foot? Only seen a couple of replays.

Significantly the best.

Always wonder how those really young fans have enough loyalty points to get these tickets.

Difference being Pope is actually good whereas Longstaff is actually bad.

Wow

Not for nothing that we wanted a buyback option.

Always had something about him, especially for the money. The way he plays and his personality tend to make people think he's more comedy than he really is. That said, really happy he's getting a chance to get more minutes and he's contributing. Imagine him coming on and running in behind etc, after you've been chasing Waltemade deep for 70 minutes, is a nightmare.

Tall people can be amazingly skilled, I should know.

Reminded me of Busquets where he uses the body feint to make people go to block a pass or header that he's never going to make. Great skill.

No wyn.

We made one mistake which we don't even know was a mistake, FFS.
