Joelinton is out for 6 weeks and actually for Bruno and Miley this is perfect for their game. I'm not sure this would suit the team though. We are designed to break quickly, press aggressively and when we turnover in their half be there ready to capitalise. Our problem is fitness and lack of training due to the games. We'll get into a rhythm and finish in the top 6 or 7. |January is going to be tough and Im not sure brining a player in now is going to see fruit until late feb early march whilst they come to terms with our system. Phillips probably can but I reckon he'll end up at West ham to replace rice.

He just needed a bit of a rest as in not play 2 games a week he's 33

IT really is probably a 20% chance we could win IMO but its that chance and a result like this would kick start our season.

Aye a 3 nil defeat

Of course they would. 20M gets you bugger all nowadays. I bet Moyes would drop 30M on miggy.

I think Murphy was that it didn't make much difference if he dislocated it again as he needed an op anyway.

Im talking about our ability to spend and that we are probably at our limit for FFP even including the CL money.

Centreback is the least of our worries.

FFP doesnt go over just one season. I doubt we would have signed Barnes, Tino and Tonali. They said as much in the documentary that it changed our plans qualifying

I think our dosh from the CL is currently suspended until the end of the season.

Best draw of the season tbf. CL, all League cup games.

Im surprised we havent signed any of the saudi lads on loan

Agreed, we should be looking at bringing in his successor this summer. Great news

Hasn't been working lately. Though I do feel we just need a win and we'll go on a run when players are returning.

I don't think it's right but I've a feeling based on the run of games Yasir will make a change. Howes inflexibility pisses me off though trippier burn to start with. Not much anyone could have done with the injuries and load. They haven't been able to train.

We need Gordon and Isak on the pitch. I'd take Almiron off for Wilson and Miley of for big Joe. I would take burn off for Tino though.

Come on

Nah, these fuckers don't mess about. Someone will be sold but we'll sign 3 I reckon.

World class was always a bollocks term.

Yep I agree, if this was Keegan's entertainers he'd have been in more but our fullbacks have very specific instructions, especially the leftback if trippier is right.

Full back is quite a challenging role to learn as it's about learning the balance of attack and defence. Especially in Eddie's system

I blame Mike Ashley for selling the club to the current owners who appointed Howe, signed Trippier and didn't stone Almiron to death. He should have put in the terms of the sale that they couldn't appoint Howe, Trippier couldn't be signed and Almiron would be stoned to death. Ridiculous some of the things people say on here.

Worrying

Exactly, its bollocks. I bet they do think that though. It's like in a final they know it will be scrutinised. The best refs are the ones that are wankers and don't give a fuck what people think of them. Have confidence in their decision making. Plus I think now there is an automatic hesitance if they are sure that's now subconscious with refs as they think I'm not sure but VAR will figure it out and Ill get to see it.

We shouldnt though, we should have the Barnes, Isak, Tonali, Anderson, Murphy, Joelinton, Willock, Schar options based on our team.
