  1. Let the redemption arc begin, before he gets sold to Stoke or someone next year. Well in, Chris.
  2. 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.
  3. Lovely through ball for Longstaff and awesome pass for Murphy as well. We're so spoiled with him, man.
  4. 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.
  5. 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'.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Their team from the weekend looks decent but has some proper weak links defensively, like.
  13. Christ, Twitter is exhausting. Also, this bait doesn't even work considering Emery managed PSG.
  14. That's a good appointment for them. Bring it on!
  15. Lowest ever time in play for a PL game is 39 minutes. Fucking hell
  16. That stat above is absolute shite or the 'set a new record' line is total bullshit. The average time in play stat for last season was 55 mins.
  17. So, I know from friends in the community that these things can be seen as pretty shallow corporate platitudes but I still really don't like this at all. Not taking part sends a terrible message. NUFC's community values should not be defined by the owners.
  18. Would love to see him as an 8 in these types of games still. Just feels like he has to do a lot of firefighting in that deeper role. What a man.
  19. We've adjusted very well since 15 mins in. Closed up the central space much better and been more controlled with the press. Even if we hold on for a 2-2, this'd be a great result considering their home form. Fucking Miggy. The change is incredible.
  20. No, it was an earlier phase of play where they went shoulder-to-shoulder on the touchline.
  21. Love the lad as a personality but he was an obvious weak link last night along with Murphy. His work off the ball is generally good but he has lapses in concentration & is prone to getting done. However, his need for the extra second on the ball a lot of the time is what really kills him - often slows down attacks or leads to losing possession.
  22. Onana was alright but pretty ineffectual for such a physical presence, tbh. The moment Almiron knocked him off the ball was pretty embarrassing for him.
