As a Murphy sceptic, I wouldn't say that. He made a couple of really bad mistakes but otherwise was OK to good. What percentage you put on it I don't know, but most of the stuff he did was fine - he just likes to spice it up by giving the ball away in critical situations a couple of times a game.

He was brilliant today, had everything.

I think with Leicester it's just as much because they only have one dangerous player. When we try to smother them they just don't have enough quality to break through meaningfully and threaten us.

I was quite surprised with just how unthreatening Leicester were, on paper I thought they looked OK except for the central 2.

FWIW I never had any doubt that he would become a key player, it was inevitable. Howe might like Longstaff but no manager with a brain is going to overlook Tonali.

I’ve never been more right about a signing.

Basically it’s all about both him and Gordon wanting the same role.

I think their team is decent apart from the midfield two.

4 or 5 tickets online at the moment.

Lack of commitment TBH.

Except the train didn’t move.

Nothing’s changed, people seemed to think Howe thought Osula was shit but actually he’s just developing him cautiously as he likes to do. Fans will never completely agree because we think differently.

I mean, it’s sold out and will be full, no?

Yeah, exactly my thinking, especially since they can't afford to maintain the parks themselves. Could be a good chance to extract some money from the developers like sometimes happens with shopping centres etc.

Seems like there's loads of home games right now.

Well we need several good CMs. If we lost Bruno then IMO Tonali would one the only real quality CM in the squad. Miley could be in future.

You would need to spend a decent amount of money on replacements for any star players sold, that's my issue. And the replacements would likely be lesser quality, unless your scouting is absolutely perfect.

I would like to think it would be a discussion with the council about what benefits the city. Rather than a battle.

Possibly, sure

Big praise from Howe in the press conference.

"We're going ham, fuck PSR" - Eddie Howe TBF January was generally poor even before the financial rules. Except the Great French Janvier.

I think just play HBA on the right instead of Murphy, that’s it. Maybe Tiote in for Joelinton if you wanted a dedicated DM. Howe wouldn’t do either of those though, I don’t think.

There can’t be much between Dubs and Vlac. He’s a Greek international, he’s not a work experience kid.

Final contract? He’s 27, he could play for another 8 years or more.

Newly promoted team is probably the best bet.
