PL managers generally don’t just throw youngsters in because they can run. Whether you agree with that or not, it’s very rare.

The Havertz one is mind boggling. I thought they’d have to offload him for cheap as a failed signing.

TBF to Chelsea they got their debt paid off and managed to offload people to Saudi for big money. They got very lucky.

I think moving Longstaff to RCM has helped, since Miley can cope at left it creates a more comfortable unit.

ASM suffered from this, putting countless balls on a plate for Longstaff et al to blaze over the bar.

You don't know if he's coming short or long, inside or outside, must be almost impossible.

He has everything. Tall, athletic, great control, super intelligent, amazing movement. Top top top player. I would probably have Foden in midfield for England rather than in the front 3.

It was also nowhere near as bad as Murphy's finish

Well yeah, but in the easily saveable area. Anyway, we know he's never going to be a brilliant finisher.

FYI if you normally walk please don't get the bus

He hit it low and straight at the keeper, awful finishing. But I guess he’ll never be one for inventive finishes.

We’re not embarrassing with fireworks etc, we’re just really quiet.

I like fireworks.

They are a good team but people seem to have been talking like they're already a CL side. And vice-versa, we are now shite. We really need to learn to take a longer view and not try to make pronouncements about teams based on the current narrative. By we I mean everyone in football.

He wouldn’t be starting them this season TBF.

:lol:

Worth remembering that we have lads that give everything, a few class lads and a world class manager.

Yeah of course, not at all costs. But I wouldn't be surprised if he has been told to consider it given the horrific state of our midfield options.

I heard it was 6 but you might be right.

I quite like Ryan Reynolds in general, but I'm happy not to be part of the Wrexham story.

I've got a feeling Bruno is going to make it.

I thought of that, but no Maybe I watched too much Philip Lahm, I dunno. Anyway Longstaff seems only able to operate at RCM effectively, which probably rules it out.

Has occurred to me that Trippier might be able to play midfield, kind of.

That sounds just more being sensible and trying him out.

It’s just a league game. Play it and see what the result is, they’re the favourites but so what.
