Can’t imagine getting Kelleher for a reasonable price. If we can then let’s go. FWIW I also can’t see us letting Dubs go without someone coming in, so something must be in the works.

Press resistance isn’t just holding off challenges. Moving the ball so quickly that you can’t be closed down is also press resistance.

Most inexplicable signing for a long time. Already proven to be no good in the PL. Extremely weird.

Bergvall is really good like, couldn’t believe they took him off against us.

I think he’s already done that loads but people just ignored it.

Looks like you can get all the way down in the morning of the Sat, but takes an hour longer than usual.

I love how being owned by Mike Ashley isn’t selling your soul, but this is.

Think we’ve really only Murphy in the first team that isn’t CL level now. Maybe Burn and Pope but we know they’re not the long term answer anyway.

IMO he shouldn’t have played for the club again after demanding a move to Man Utd. And we shouldn’t have let him go. But I suppose we have to move on from that and he has played well recently.

Need to remember that in case someone needs to tackle Havertz round the neck when he’s through on goal in the semi.

That’s a mad system.

It’s also amazing that he’s really the only CM on that list. Obviously most of them are attackers who get fouled while dribbling and attacking.

Bruno goes down easy all the time but he also engineers duels by holding the ball until his opponents get close enough to foul him. Tonali will never be fouled so much because he prefers to release the ball quickly.

True, but either way it’s not the actual shirt. It does look really nice though.

I’m personally not interested in it as a remake, been plenty of retro remakes before.

That’ll be £300 I guess.

It’s a big 5 now really, without Spurs and Man Utd.

It’s actually the assistants at that point.

It’s the travel that’s the real killer anyway TBH.

I didn’t realise there was conversation from VAR before the decision is made. Or can the referee not hear that?

I guess everything apart from Shearer is up for debate, depending on age etc.

He’s almost like a vortex that shapes the game around him. When he has space he gets the ball and kills the defenders, when they push up high he runs in behind. If they aren’t strong on crosses he gets in the box and gets tap-ins and headers. Lad is ridiculous.

It’ll be a rough and scrappy game if we play the reserves, because they just don’t have the ability to dominate any match. But we should still do enough to win. Osula has a real chance on show what he can do here. And we’ll have Barnes.

Maybe he will when he’s near retirement and he’s already won the title with Newcastle. But agree generally, it’s not a job for a manager like Howe.

They showed that on Sky
