Gallowgate Toon

Did switch to 4-2-3-1 quite a few times last season, tbf.

Spaces will open up as they tire. Need to make sure we don't concede a stupid goal in the opening 10, keep working them. Wilson for Anderson feels likely considering how Howe switched Isak's position.

Shoving an AM into the team isn't the silver bullet, man. Passers need players to create space for them to actually play balls into, otherwise you're banking it all on perfect passes. West Ham stifled a very creative Brighton this way. Deep sides are hard to play against and it requires more than 1 player to get through them.

He & Richards were like 2 giddy school kids last night. Matched the energy of the evening really well.

I imagine his pass stats were better first half? Felt like he gassed out 5/10 mins before going off and was trying to give us a break by knocking the ball into areas.

His goal was a hands on head moment for me.

Get that up ye, CRAIGY BOY.

Been said many times but his first touch is outstanding. What a player.

His lack of right foot can be frustrating as fuck but for games like this he's an invaluable player.

That tackle

Think tonight was one of his best performances on the ball. He looked almost silky on it.

He was just on it from minute 1. My motm alongside Tripps - can't split them.

Aye, his knee is getting more & more tape each week and he's missing a bit of explosiveness that helps him to turn on a sixpence. Been a soldier recently but I miss him at his best as he's a breathtaking player when on song.

The swagger this lad now has, man.

Easily one of the best nights of my life that. Voice gone. Fucking cloud 9.

Did clubs vote against the semi-automated offside tech? Can't see a reason why we wouldn't want it - quicker, more accurate, mitigates human stupidity. I'd be happy if they just brought that technology in and fucked the rest of VAR off. Far too many of the decisions it's used for are still so subjective that it renders the whole thing pointless. We have to endure endless shite debates about it too.

Going to be really sad if we don't make Europe next season. The buildup for these games is fucking exhilarating. No idea what the final score will be but I think it'll be a good game and we'll give a much better account of ourselves going forward than Milan. With Flash out for Sunday, I think he'll be a man possessed tonight. Fancy him to grab the winner.

Saw a clip of carragher trying to show it at 'full speed' and it still looked terrible. It's a shame because he can be really good when he's not talking about Liverpool or hockling on people.

Paris is fucking freezing for about 4 months of the year

With Gordon out on Sunday, Jo returning to LW would be lush.

Seems like the turnstile distribution/comms in the Gallowgate is a problem. My ticket has 2 stated options that aren't next to each other, one is absolutely rammed each game, the other has a queue of no more than 10 at a time and I'm through in a couple of minutes.

My 5-month old always smiles when I sing his song

Iirc Adam P called him out for being a bit of a dorty old man.

Ffs want Spurs to start dropping.

Ah fort the answer to all of our 'problems' against deep teams was simply to have Maddison.
