  1. Rice is definitely a problem in build up - he's way too conservative - but Henderson isn't helping matters, like. Nice lad but he shouldn't be playing.
  2. Super touch, very unlucky.
  3. Really hope he gets some decent minutes tonight.
  4. Lower league player I know does it through his wife's account. He doesn't seem to worry about the money audit trail much
  5. I think he might be competing with Maxi for the left-sided slot, if Wilson stays fit.
  6. Just don't think he's suited to deepest mid in these sorts of games. His best work on the ball today was when he swapped with Longstaff for short periods and started linking cute passes into the final third.
  7. It's time to move Kane into a #10 slot and let the country's only true #9 lead the line.
  8. For the crusty 'leather it' crew - Shearer missed a chunk of his pens. It happens, it's not a guarantee.
  9. A very enjoyable listen but I actually felt a bit sad at some of what he said. His 'obsession' (for want of a better word) seems almost overwhelming & a divisive thing in his life. It was interesting to hear him talk about if he enjoyed the experience of being a manager as well. That Bournemouth thread is excellent too - I totally missed the Arter situation. Fantastic stuff.
  10. He's a very emotional guy and probably has a lot on his mind at the moment - he still has so many classy passages of play. Looking forward to him being an option for the 8 again, like - I think that definitely suits his playing style best in this league.
  11. Let the redemption arc begin, before he gets sold to Stoke or someone next year. Well in, Chris.
  12. Bruno does world class things pretty much every game. It's mad. He epitomises how I love watching football to be played - full-blooded, risk-taking, with a 'win at all costs' mentality. So many of them are so good though.
  13. Lovely through ball for Longstaff and awesome pass for Murphy as well. We're so spoiled with him, man.
  14. It's mind-bending how well-balanced he has us. It's genuinely staggering how well coached we are - the shape, the pressing, the work rate, the covering, the inventive set pieces, the movement/rotation. It feels like there's barely a weakness in us and everything is considered.
  15. His Miggy pass to get the corner for the second was a work of art. 2 lovely bits of defensive play to get the third move going too. Plus, a phenomenal pass for a Murphy chance. He's absolutely instrumental and does so much good for our team even when not 'on it'.
  16. Our team spirit is so amazing that I think the best approach now is just small changes each window. 1 or 2 more in, unless some injuries crop up, will be absolutely fine for Jan.
  17. Might have the World Cup at the back of his mind as well. If I was a player, I'd be a bit scared of picking up an injury at this point.
  18. Aye, he made some odd choices which is unlike him, but also had some real moments of class too. Some great defensive interceptions as well.
  19. Thought we got the measure of them after 25 mins and it was plain sailing from there, tbh. We have some incredible last man defenders in Botman and Share - proper failsafes. Absolutely fucking outstanding. We are such a good, well-balanced team.
  20. Well, a lot of the time going forward, we're going to be against sides where we can likely get a good grip of possession. There's only about 5 teams I'd not be confident of that. It's those games you need a Sangare-esque type of player to step in and push Bruno up, or be a sub option to do this where we're against the run of play/under the cosh.
  21. We need a DM for the squad but not the first team, imo. Bruno is wasted against the better sides as the deepest mid a lot of the time.
