Come on Sandro, we need those balls to reach the wing.

Need that incisive ball to fall for us.

We need to be really composed in possession against these or they’ll pass around us for fun. They can definitely be got at on the counter though and we’ve shown against Villa that we can be lethal doing that. Everything crossed for a good result today; aren’t many teams I’d like us to thump more.

So underrated on here. Great player.

Let’s be real, people will still buy dhgate specials no matter how nice the kit is.

Jeddah’s nicer than Dubai tbf (in my completely unbiased opinion). Less Russian escorts though, I guess.

Why do people want a hard group ? I don’t care about lovely days out; I don’t want us to just take part and have a little sing-song piss-up, I want us to progress as far as possible. Getting tomato can teams all the way through would be preferable imo.

I think Liverpool might be underestimating the global fanbase that Salah brings them btw. They’re literally the most supported English team in the Middle-East purely because of Salah (The CL win helped as well). It’s not an exaggeration when I say that they’ll lose millions of fans should he leave.

There are loads of fans in the region who basically just support teams because their favourite players play for them. You may not lose many European fans to the Saudi League but the “Global fanbase” in MENA region that the PL enjoys will slowly move towards the Saudi Pro League. The league is being shown in 170 countries worldwide and you can already see the traction it gets on official YouTube highlight vids, where the numbers rival the EPL already.

No real need to pile on TCD here. I think we all agree that another cb and an elite rw would have been nice. I’m at an 8 fwiw.

Sounds like that gleeb in every office that needs an email to be sent before he’ll do anything.

West Ham are quietly building a very solid team tbf.

You sound old.

Miggy would be something else if he has a right foot and some football iq. So poor from him there.

Barnes yellow. Jesus

Someone check if these twats haven’t fielded more than 11 players here?

Might be a long night. We look nervy as hell.

We lack composure on the ball here

We won’t have much of the ball here. Good pressure though.

Or shoulder?

Early head injury for Schar.

@KaKa

What a post . Completely agree.

Yeesh. That’s a lot. Fofana from Monaco is a similar profile that they could possibly get for around half that.
