9 is a joke like

Yesssss!!! Fully deserved

Get innnnn!

I don't know if anyone has mentioned on every page of the prematch thread, but these are decent away from home

Salah going to AFCON could be the making of his season, let's hope his groin pings off again

We're at the start of the Howe winter streak, Spurs won't stop this train tonight.

xG is a nonsense in the aspect of a single game but xG and xGa can form a pattern of where you actually should be, of course its a useful stat or professionals wouldn't be using it. As for Sunderland, they're still riding the crest of a wave with their tails up and they'll keep getting the rub of the green as long as they stay confident. As poor as they have been in games, they're still finding a way to win and are probably the best side that got promoted and better than a couple of PL sides that were in it last year. I doubt anyone thinks they're going to finish the season where they are but they will comfortably stay up on merit.

2-1 Mount 😡

I said it yesterday in the pre-match thread and I'll say it again today, Ramsdale nullifies the opposition tactics of pressing us into going long to return the ball. His vision and execution of the pass are a massive asset, the No.1 spot should be his to lose.

4/1 West Ham today, got to be worth a couple of quid in the current circumstances

This, they give us so many options in the overload and both are so tidy on the ball and have the recovery pace to ensure we won't suffer in defence, both huge game changers and the drop off is significant.

Officer, I'd like to report a murder

Greased up and sliding full pelt

If Ramsdale and Thiaw are in the side I think we'll be fine playing out from the back

Happy with that, I knew he wouldn't want to drop Burn and he's always decent at LCB and Thiaw has the recovery pace to cover his weaknesses. Is Pope definitely out then does anyone know?

Pope needs to be taken out of the firing line for his own sake, seems a bit shot at the moment, much like after the sending off against Liverpool. He also needs to know hes not automatically No.1 and be made to fight to get his place back. I have no doubt hes still a class keeper, he just needs a bit of a shake up.

We're due a win here, Pickford will be thr major issue as hes bang in form but man to man we should be winning this one and changing our on-the-road form. Squeaky 1-0 will do please and thank you 🙏🏻

He's looking so sharp at the moment, need to keep him fit as he's been our only real goal threat for a number of games now.

I've never been a believer in karma, but something more powerful than you or I is teaching their arrogance a painful lesson this season and I'm here for it

I wish we were doing better ourselves so I could enjoy this all the more! It'll be so sweet to finish above them in the table, maybe win the Carabao Cup again and for them to win nothing, it's more than the rat deserves.

Not gonna happen but want to see: Ramsdale Tino. Schar. Thiaw. Hall Bruno. Tonali. Joelinton Murphy. Barnes Big Nick

£400m for this "Best...transfer window....ever!"... yes la, for us

More like Nick Poop. am I right??

Thought we played relatively ok tbf bar the opening to the second half where we just switched off, Pope has to take the blame for that because we were dealing with them just fine up to his brain fart and we created a lot of chances, just worrying how much we miss. I don't think we were half as bad as people are saying. It wasn't a must win but it's definitely points dropped. Let's put this swiftly behind us and finally get a result away from home at the weekend.

We deserve something from this like, created so many chances
