Consortium of one

I have Peacock so its not to bad for me but yeah, I remember when NBC showed every EPL game a few years ago. Of course, that was only a hook for the NBCSN subscription service which failed miserably. Do you have ESPN+? Thats been coming on strong with Bundesliga and FA cup coverage.

I want to see how Dan Ashworth operates. I'd like to see young players come in, push for second XI roles and eventually break into the first XI. This would be on top of bona fide starters, of course.

Can't even call him a charlatan. Charlatan's have a modicum of guile about themselves. Bruce is gormless

Shelvey still has 2 years to go? Is it 2023 or 2024, I don't remember. I'd hold off on a renewal either way.

He's carrying a lot of baggage.

I guess fat, drunk and stupid is a way to go through life

Bruno should be starting against Brentford. Jonjo could use a rest and I think we'll see that anything Jonjo can do Bruno can do better.

I rooted real hard for Miggy but a few things are obvious, he's too one footed and, at this point, his confidence is shot. For his own sake I think he should be moved on in the summer.

He's got a lot in his tool bag and I love to watch him play. He doesn't have to score to impact the game but it's really sweet when he does.

I hope we make an offer to make it permanent. Really good defensively. Needs work moving forward but he's still quite young.

really happy with the overall competitiveness of the squad and the result. Only real complaint is the crossing from the FBs. Krafth's always seemed to float to high and too far While Targett's were too whippy and short.

Can't disagree. New CB & Burn starting with Fede and a younger CB to develop. Trippier is Captain. Schar walks. Peddle Lascelles and Clark.

May get 3 games at the end. Dammit but that really sucks.

I don't see the formation changing. Slot Krafth in until Manq is healthy. Next man up and all that. Sore blow but we have to carry on.

He profiles as exactly the type of player we're going to let go. Good servant in his day but aging and declining. His spot should go to a younger player with the potential to develop.

ASM is fine. I'll take him just the way he is.

Every time they cut to Gerrard he had this look on his face like he knew it just wasn't going to be his day.

was all over the pitch today and always popping up in the right spot. I think he had gotten to a point where he didn't know what he was supposed to do and it showed in the helter skelter way he was playing. Now, he seems composed and in rhythm with his team mates. He's not rushing and making sound decisions on and off the ball.

I've said many times that Shelvey is a useless waste of a spot but fair play to him for the way he has played. Right now we have 4 midfielders that are worthy of starting and that a good problem to have. As long as the club afre winning I'm not sure how Eddie drops any of the starting three.

any doubt, sit him out.

both players could make the opponent shit themselves. Not to get into the argument but ASM is more choppy with his stops and starts. He's like that ankle breaking PG at the top of the key. HBA was more elegant almost. He saw what he could do and one second he was there and the next second he was by his man. Both are/were incredibly effective but in different ways, IMO

I just think his confidence and belief in himself are shattered. Even though he helped open things up for Ayoze and Rondon the goals never came. Then he got shifted to the right for ASM and the goals never came. Then as Bruce's no tactics approach flourished he was playing deeper and deeper and, of course, the goals never came. And not just goals, as we know, assists have been hard to come by as well. I really think the best thing for Miggy and his career is to ship him out in the summer. He needs a fresh start somewhere else, maybe some place in a second tier expected to push for promotion. I don't know what he is any more.

I think we'll see 4-3-3 next year. I think we'll definitely be in for Botman. I'd love to see Kamara. I quite like Targett. He's not flashy but is steady and balances offense/defense well. We'll need a CF as well. It also looks like they'll be looking at keepers too. GK Trippier Lascelles Botman Targett Kamara Guimaraes Willock Fraser ASM CF Krafth, Clark, Schar, Dummett, Hayden, Ritchie, Miggy, Darlow, Dubs will all be gone, maybe more. Can't turn over the whole roster in two windows. That would leave Woodman, Gillespie, Manquillo, Burn, Lewis, Longstaff, Shelvey, Murphy, Wilson, Wood, another CB, another wide player and some kids.

Just saw on twitter that ASM had more than twice as many successful dribbles than the next highest player.

And it's better to have Shelvey there to break up play? It's asking a lot for Joe to transition from attacker to holding MF but who would have thought he could have been successful as a box to box guy? Howe definitely has decisions to make and I'd suspect any decision will be subject to his review.
